Hi folks I just wanted to pick your brains on this one. I have an E30 with an E36 328i motor. I was thinking of turboing or supercharging. I wondered weather someone could give me a rough price and or let me know if the kit is avalable?

Thanks

Tommy

been looking into this myself and i think to do it properly you would be looking at about £1000 doing the work yourself just to get it up and running

Turbo manifold on ebay £99, pretty good starting point.

Mega squirt ecu, contact ant

intercooler(volvo)
turbo
injectors
etcetc

Ebays good for most of these parts, but beware of sh*t chinese turbos

I think £2000 is probably closer to the mark.

Hope this helps

HI Guys,

I have an e30 and exploring/researching going down the E36 328i engine conversion route (M52b28). are you guys running ODB I or OBD II? Do you guys know of any info sources?

Cheers!
