E30 Zone

ok here goes..... as you av prob read in other posts my fella wants another e30, only trouble is i need some info on having a 325i turbo'd using a turbo diesel bottom end........


can anyone help???

If anyone can help its ant at a-tech mate, hes the dogs danglies when it comes to turbo e30s

need to know what turbo to use and wat td bottom end i should be using??

someone please help!!

Stock bottom end will suffice, uprate the headgasket and headbolts and thats good enough for 10-12 psi

For turbo, use the biggest you can afford, T3 is too small but makes a very torquey car, T34/35 is pretty decent for sub 300 HP and great midrange, if you want the big bang delivery then its gotta be a Holset or GT37 in big trim.

or supercharge it....

HTH

wouldnt a turbo diesel bottom end make much diff then??


and wat bout the oil return???

So.......

can anyone help me???

A diesel crank will increase stroke and therefore have more capacity.

It's only the crank you need not the full bottom end.

As previuosly stated the standard bottom end will take 10-12psi all day long !!
a diesel crank will increase stroke and 2.7 lower comp can be achieved for turbocharging/ supercharging.
When Tuboing a 325i your main factor will be cost.
it all depnds what you have to begin with.
Your best bet is to speak to Ant he is the guru on F/I on e30's
BUT remeber "WHATS YOUR BUDGET"
as he has some very good superchager kits available.
if you do need to ring him the number is 01959534718.
I know this subject very well
i own a 2.7 low comp turbo running Vems management, Holset Hx35w running 1.6 bar and its fast but no cheap
could be for sale if the right offer comes along.
