Bmw 325 turbos:

http://www.jdturbocharging.com/4436.html

http://www.bimmerjim.com

...The above two sites are pretty much DIY guides on how to turbocharge the m20 engine effectively showing some of the mishaps along the way. Both sites are a very good read!

Other turbo sites to get the principals of turbocharging:

http://www.beesandgoats.com/boostfaq/g2icturbo.html

...The above site is VERY comprehensive about turbocharging a honda, a very interesting read.

http://www.homemadeturbo.com/

...Despite the lovely picture on the home page this is about turbocharging not girls sprawled on desks Got a good forum, lots of knowledge on the board, but mainly jap crap turbocharging.

http://members.shaw.ca/turbofiero/fmu.htm

... A quick explanation about FMU(fuel management units) and RRFPR(rising rate fuel pressure regulators).

A Bmw turbo forum which i know some of you visit:
http://www.e30tech.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=35

I found this useful for finding which turbo goes on which car.
or which car has what turbo (is there a difference?)

http://www.turbomaster.info/eng/

you can search b part number or car

I used it to find out what the "E-BAY" turbo`s were off when buying mine

Handy chart for working out which injectors you need for the desired power level.

[Turbo-Brown]

Ooh, here are some handy sites

http://not2fast.wryday.com/turbo/maps/

Some of the maps are hand drawn, but probably still usable.

This one is probably of more interest:

http://turbocalculator.com/sale-garrett.php

They have some flow maps available but more improtantly, check out the prices!

E.g. for a 0.63 AR T3 turbo, they charge $459 which works out at Ԛ£253 (XE convertor) which means that even with VAT, that's only Ԛ£297. Even if you had to add a ton for shipping, you're still looking at less than Ԛ£400!

Think you'd be hard pushed to get one reconditioned over here for that!

Also, check out the beast at the bottom of the Garrett GT Turbos page. Who else wants "up to 2000bhp" ?!

Think when mine fail, I'll go for a pair of GT28R jobbies which weigh in at about Ԛ£1k. Mmmmmmm ball bearing turbos

Enjoy!

If anyone wants to make up their own M20 manifold, follow this link and click on BMW to download a free copy of a CAD file that can be used by a laser cutter to make cylinder head flanges.

There are terms and conditions (nothing onerous) but I do NOT expect to see people using this to make them selves any money!

[Jon_Bmw]

I had a look at this a while ago and noticed that they were unfortunatly dead. I did have a very quick look for a direct replacements but I couldn't find it. So its not really the mods problem as it doesn't exist

Good one for stainless steel hoseclips: -

www.pisces-aqua.co.uk

It is an aquatics place but the hoseclips are completely stainless (including the worm) and very reasonably priced and staff are very helpful. I used them for my 2.7 rebuild.

[Turbo-Brown]

Awesome, cheers dude
