318i m10 turbo

[Pyros]

what are the posibilities of putting a turbo on a m10 318i 87 reg im looking to get more power but not to an engine transplant

[Ant]

M10 is bombproof dude.

Give it a once over, decide on a turbo and engine management then away you go.

It wont be "Cheap" but it WILL be rapid

[Pyros]

any good cheap turbos that i should consider and also what engine managment would you sugest im thinking of strpping it down and doing a re-build is this worth it?

[maxfield]

some sort of holset turbo

and megasquirt for managment

i have been looking at them, what do i need to modify to get it to work on my m10 sry new to turbos

[sam325is]

need to get a manifold made up first, that is probly your biggest problem

[Pyros]

what needs to be done to the manifold?

[sam325is]

you need an adapter or a whole new manifold making

[whipsey]

dammit i got rid of my m10

Ant what gains are available on one of these engines with "said" holset turbo as above? (inc MS, exhaust)

200bhp achievable?

Would have to be at least 250 to be worth a rebuild surely?

This is one of my planned future conversions, nice n light and plenty of poke

Really? As much as that! It would appear that this conversion is flying low on peoples radar. "Bombproof", light and with enough power to embarrass tons of motors!! Imagine, a stripped out, caged, M10 Turbo.

Thats gona kick any standard M3, even Evo Sport into the next century!

I like it.

[Geoff]

Actually on re-reading that...you say 250bhp to be worth the hassle. DOH!!

Well lets run with the idea of 250bhp is possible.

...do you think anyone noticed i made a boo boo there??

There is a guy in the states, getting 350bhp(400+ at the fly) at the wheels on an m10 but with gas. He does 11 second quarters. Very cool

good and tight is his name on tech, made 350 hp with a little old TO4 and nos, he fitted a H1C recently i think but havent check his progress recently

[Pyros]

what bhp do you rekon id get out of a 1.8i if i add the turbo also has anyone got any pics of a manifold that has been modifyed for a turbo and what else would i need to get to get it running

[OBs]

M10 Turbo

I rolling roaded mine (standard except for a 'backbox') a few weeks back and it got 130bhp!!

They come out the factory with 105bhp, So?!!

Might be an idea

[sam325is]

i think 500+ hp has been done by swedes on these, good and tight made the 350+ hp with just a manifold adapter, do some searching and you will get the idea how they are made, quite simple

[OBs]

500bhp!! WHAT?!


Sounds interesting Sam

A little bit off topic...

I'm currently running a Carb M10B18(just rebuilt) in my car but i also have an M40B18 sitting on the garage floor. I want a turbo or a supercharger but don't know which engine would b best to do the conversion....M10 or M40.

Wats your opinions?

Thanks

[DanThe]

Put the M40 in the scrap bin

[E30-830]

Put the M40 in the scrap bin
