I was wondering if any one on here can answer a question for me!!!
iv'e got an e30 318is iv'e had it for a while, and recently iv'e been thinkin of some mods.
I was just wondering is there a chance that if i added:- new cams, s/s manifold and exhaust, lightning and balancing the fly wheel, pistons and conrods, portin and polishing the head, bored to a 2.0 and turbo'd
what would the possible bhp be around.
if you can think of any thing else that could be done :?
thanx all replies would be helpful

Sorry i dont mean to be rude, but you'd be better off selling it and buying a 325 and modding that. Spending that kind of money on a 318 will be a waste when you come to sell the car and i dont know if the engine is big enough to produce any serious power either :wink:

Into 325, quiet a bit, into a 318 even more. Have a look in the Forced Induction section. There are a few threads on the subject :wink:
