There are a number of users of these only a very few in the UK and Europe still.


I am the UK distributor for TCD so you can contact me for any parts they have
or complete or custom kits.

Just sold a 400whp setup to a guy in Iceland.
One of the Stage I kit´s with upped boost and FMIC did high 11´s on the 1/4mile.
Without enginemanagement addeds.

Here are the official numbers from TCD from the Dyno.

m20b25 S1 at 9psi = 235rwhp
m20b25 S2 at 13psi = 285rwhp
m20b25 S2 at 16psi = 320rwhp 12.75 @ 110mph stock weight 325i
m20b25 with standalone and 16psi = 345rwhp or better

m30b34 S1 at 9psi = 260rwhp / 305rwtq
m30b34 S2 at 13psi = 310rwhp / 355rwtq
m30b34 S3 at 15psi = 350rwhp / 390rwtq 12.37 @ 115 stock weight 535is
m30b34 S3 at 17.5psi = 388rwhp / 441rwtq
m30b34 S3 at 19.5psi = 415rwhp / 468rwtq 12.09 @ 120mph stock weight 535is

m30b35 S1 @ 9psi = 280rwhp / 285rwtq
m30b35 S2 @ 12psi = 315rwhp / 340rwtq

m30b35 S3 at 7.5psi = 291rwhp / 307rwtq

Available for UK customers are RHD manifolds.

the M50 will probably not happen.

You can run them on standard internals but it all depends what power level your trying to reach.

I would have thought a max of about 350, anything more in an e30 is wasted in wheelspin IMO

Looking for something perhaps with low end grunt, possibly even a light pressure turbo which is more tractable than chasing crazy horsepower figures.

350whp is only to much at 5mph, give it a go at 100mph ;)

Excuse me?

Kit´s never got a complete versions for RHD so they will be sold as parts only,
I´m working on getting new prices for a S1 setup as well as a S2 setup.

All previously published numbers for prices where expected to be FULL kits without kinks.

Ant's asking if you are back in England... We call it 'Rip Off Britain' cos everything is soo god damned expensive here due to tax and manufacturers getting away with charging us more for years!

I like the idea of a non vanos M50B25 with a charger (crank driven, not exhaust preferably but hey) in an E30 but then I like the idea of loads of engines in E30's and still haven't finished my own conversion! :cry:
