It will make a cracking car but not a cheap project i guess ?
I've heard good things about Turbo M3's.
Ant is your man to get a nice job done. One area he really excels in is the management side of things.
You can get someone to fit some very nice hardware but if if the job isn't finished off with the correct management it will never achieve it's full potential and never run properly.
Ant's workmanship is also top notch and his recent turbo conversions have been of the highest quality.
Give him a call and have a chat.

Sounds awesome, who is the guy that was selling a full E30 M3 turbo kit on ebay recently, I think I read a post on a US forum saying he was starting to sell them as a package. Was his name Martin?
What sort of money would a "package price" turbo conversion likely be?

It was for sale on UK ebay, I'm sure if you troll back through the "parts for sale" section on this forum you will find a thread about it as he advertised it on here first. Then follow the link to the US forum where he posted. I'm sure he now offers these kits for sale. iirc he sold a couple already to guys in the US.
Let us know how you get on. Hope this helps!

Martin was the guy who sold the kit. He is building another one.
I am building one as well. I have found what parts i plan to use and where to get them from. I just need to get of my arse and buy the bits.
I will running standard crank and rods. I will add low compression JE pistons from the US94mm and have the block bored to 2.4, along with arp head bolts and composite standard head gasket. I will also run the basic 248 cams on a standard 195 head and 46mm TB's. A garret GT3076R turbo with .82 AR(i think). I need to get the manifold made, but a company called pure Pf will make me one and i will ceramic coat it. If your interested they would build 2 for a little cheaper?
it will run an emerald management system. i have been told that running little psi it will make 300 bhp and 13psi it can make approx 465bhp. these figures are from an S14 2.4 with similar internals and emerald ecu. pm me if you need the article.
not sure if i have missed anything. if you decide not to go down the replacement piston route then Martin used a 2mm decompression head gasket.
I'm only doing this as i have sold my grp a spec head so i'm as well rebuilding the whole thing with ne big end parts.

Hey Rigbo
How does this sound - 15psi boost, 409lbft 460bhp?
There is a chap called Graham Barr that you want to speak to! He has got the above power from this spec below which on only 1 bar seems a fine result to me! He is predominantly a blue oval man but runs a s14 in his race car.

I have been speaking with Graham as well and has some useful advice. Emerald set his car up on their rolling road.
Carpmart, lad you backed my figures up

Dave Walker does indeed seem to know his stuff and apparently his new software has 3 maps which you can store and switch between - sounds like fun to me!215m3 wrote:I have been speaking with Graham as well and has some useful advice. Emerald set his car up on their rolling road.

That's why i am going withit, plus he knows how to map these modded engines. It also has a wideband feed monitor. My friend is thinking of ditching his maxx a-n for one.carpmart wrote:Dave Walker does indeed seem to know his stuff and apparently his new software has 3 maps which you can store and switch between - sounds like fun to me!215m3 wrote:I have been speaking with Graham as well and has some useful advice.

I plan to have 3 maps for different circuits
