dont understand mate ?

[Gunni]

what do you want from your setup? 130hp? that´s a useless exercise for a M10

[yamaha1]

i just want what i can get but still be a driveable car turbos just seem the best option instead of an engine swap . id want to have a really fast acceleration but wouldnt mind if it only cruzed after the acceleration band

[Gunni]

that still doesn´t make ANY sense.
post some numbers,

I don´t have a clue what you consider fast accelaration, or "cruzed after the accelaration band" even means..

Right you have a 1.8 what engine
a M10 0r a M40 then we can advise on what can be done

[yamaha1]

m10 non injected completley standard

#1. How much HP!!
#2. Where do you want the turbo to come on boost wise
#3. How will things be tuned fuel and ignition wise.

Without these there isn´t a chance of helping you.

This thread is such a fail at the moment.

Epic fail.

well with a M10 anything is possible as they are good basic engines to start with and they can be made to have lots of HP
but we need to know what engine management you want to use
how you want the turbo to be delivered eg a big bang or progressive
and a actual horse power figure you are aiming for.
if you wanted a nice small turbo setup using a GT30 turbo and mega squirt ecu using wasted spark should give you a nice horse power figure

A driving licence and some insurance would be higher on my list of priorities than an imaginery turbo......

You could always strap a turbo and a hairdryer to your leg to blow hot air up your ass! Then worry about getting a licence...

Don't you learn?

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY has said that this is an awful, awful idea.

First things first. You're not going to get insurance. If you don't believe me, call an insurance company, say that you want to A) If sure a car that is difficult for a 17 year old to insure standard B) You intend to modify this car by bolting a turbo on it C) You intend to make the cost justifiable by using a Bike NCB.

The best E30 for a 17 year old on all counts is a completely standard 316i Touring. Cheaper insurance, cheaper to run and yet is still enough of a car to teach you everything you need to learn about driving.

i think its a great idea. i recommend bolting on a t4 sized turbo. that shouldnt effect your insurance to much as its only small.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? (I hope I do).

Before you start asking about turbos etc you need to understand them

Maximium boost by corky bell is great starting point


,after reading this you'll have a far greater understanding and won't be asking dumbass questions.

[Alex]

make sure you can afford insurance first im also 17 and i just had to sell my e30 coz insurance was takin the pi$$

will be getting another in october when i get my years no claims

[yamaha1]

ok ok well as i said at the start im here to learn from you not to tell you what to do - do i not get an ounce of respect for tht

[Gunni]

you need to first learn how the forum´s work,
you post questions with as detailed information you can, then you get answers,

[yamaha1]

im learning at the moment as you can see from my post count im new like i said im in the process of buying an e30 i just want to weight up all my options
