exhaust. and 100shot nos.
running 300bhp but alot of weight in my e30 so need more power to get it moving. nitreous good fun tho.

I'd like to see the dyno for that..... '100shot' very rarely actually gives 100bhp.

dont take the p1ss ali, coz you had one, no actually two, and you loved them and stuck up for them...

then i saw the light..

spend 3-4 grand modifying an IS (turbo? if it will handle it all day long?) and youll get good good 2.7 power but i doubt the engine will handle without proper work.. spend the same amount and youll get a semi ok FI set up and see 230-240sih brake, though no real work required.

realistically the only upside to the IS is its nimbleness and handling,

at the time i had an IS, i hadnt owned a 325,,, once i owned a 325 i wouldnt go back to the IS!! though wouldnt mind one to poodle around with as a daily driver,,, very good on petrol!

im not sure if nos bhp should be counted as its just a temporary hit and not related to the power of the engine.i was interested in that 600bhp m30 track car posted up for sale with the twin turbo conversion .would have been worth it just for the engine but the seller wouldnt post up any details.isnt there anyone on the zone with a genuine 500bhp e30 .e30cossie's car is around the 360bhp iirc.
