heres a project you might like

**T0MMy** · 11-10-2005, 07:18

Is that a 325/328? What power does that put out with a turbo bolted on?

**bartc_j** · 11-10-2005, 07:22

its a 93 325is.. we are still in the process of woking out the bugs from the aem so we wont have power #'s till where done with that, but we are shotting for about 350-400whp with about 12-15psi

**T0MMy** · 11-10-2005, 07:24

Nice, should imagine it has a nice spread of torque. You should badge it up as a 318i

**bartc_j** · 11-10-2005, 07:29

oh ya hords of torque since we are getting 13psi at about 2850rpms.. ya we thought about putting 318 on it

**Draven** · 11-10-2005, 07:32

nice, looks good should give nice power
not to piddle on your parade, but surely those intake temps are going to be a tad toasty?

**antony** · 11-10-2005, 07:36

hmm nice, i am working on a project like this aswell, bmw s50 3.0 m3 with a gt35 turbo

should make plenty of power, did you make the manifold yourself ?

true but we have a very effiecnt bar/plate intercooler so thats shouldnt be an issue

yes i did all the work myself

Am I correct in thinking that there are 2 turbos there. Looks like 2 from the pics.

Damn. Must be beefier

yes its a twin turbo setup

Wow

.

Is it up and running, must sound

How much did it all cost.

**Matty2Fatty** · 11-10-2005, 08:16

does it matter that the 2nd air filter is sitting ontop of the 1st turbo?

I wouldn't imagine so really as it has a dirty fat cooler in the front to cool it anyway

i will be adding heat shields to the rear filter,hot pipe, and both turbine housings to aid with the temps a bit..

still have to tally it all up....a guess would be in the $3500-5000 range which is cheap since most kits for bmw's are in the $8000-10000 range

**Matty2Fatty** · 11-10-2005, 08:39

looks good though

quedos for doing at

stick like a 316D badge on the boot

**gonzomagic** · 11-10-2005, 09:11

How would this compare to an M3. Just curious.

**SX Sam** · 11-10-2005, 09:58

Straight line speed will probably be better, engine will be a bit lighter id imagine!

What sort of break/handling mods has it got?

An M3 Turbo would be awsome!

**philtoms101** · 11-10-2005, 10:02

^^ quite favourably i'd imagine, nice work, but you should have done it to a black car

You shall have to let us know how it drives

**Butuz** · 11-10-2005, 10:03

Wow thats very impressive bit of engineering! Bit worried about the air filter positions though - must get masses of heat soak!

Don't forget the warmer the air going into the air filters the warmer the air coming out of the intercooler - the worse the performance.
