1988 318i M50 Turbo Build
Posted: Thu Mar 17, 2022 1:22 pm
Hi All
I would like to introduce my build - a 1988 1.8 M10 car, transforming into a M50B25 turbo. I acquired the car over 3 years ago now and have been accumulating parts every since.
I have all the running gear, subframes, suspension bits & brakes from an E36 M3
The car was pulled of the road September 2021, and was stripped down. We have started to weld up bits of the body work, before installing all the new parts.
I am yet to buy the ECU management, of which I will need a stand alone system. This is where i need the wealth of knowledge from the e30 zoner wizzes. Turbo wise I am leaning towards a HX35, or even these new Pulsar turbos which seem to be ticking a lot of boxes, I have only heard positives about them.
ECU wise, I have looked at Link, VEMS, and am open to suggestions. I would want switchable maps so I can drive relatively sensibly around town etc however put the boost up at the push of a button.
Thanks
