Post Sun Jan 06, 2008 8:48 pm

Im sure this has been asked a million times so sorry in advance!

Is anyone out there doing 325i turbo conversions? Id love to do it myself but time/space means I have no chance!

Thanks!!

you are way wrong double it and you are talking real figures for a proper decent conversion

you can get a decent engine conversion for Ã‚£6000

the figure im quoting might have been the figure i read for a diy conversion on a supply only basis.

TCD kit can not be gotten in the UK for a fair price.

me either, but it's a healthy chunk more power than the standard engine and it drives beautifully, even if I do say so myself! :lol:

i have just finshed my 325i turbo convison at futerbodyshop

i think thats pretty steep mate, in all honesty bro its like any conversion to a car u get what you pay for, but in all fairness i built my old turbo e30 on quite a tight budget, id say i done it for about Ã‚£1500 but that was just parts though i built it all myself just got ant to do a bit of exhaust for me. and mine was prob about 260bhp id say(estimating) but one thing id say is llok into it a lot first and ask plentey questions, cus on my one i just plowed into it, when i was very fresh to the e30 zone, the only headache i really encountered was fitting the megasquirt magagement. but any q's bro everyone will help u out as much as possible
but u need to set a buget first and what kinda power u are after, before u tear into it
