Expect most of you have already seen my thread in the couch but thought i'd write up a proper project thread!
So, the car itself is a 1992 E36 325i with a 192bhp 2.5 straight 6 under the hood! The car used to belong to my brother with his intent to turbo it and keep it as a sleeper, unfortunetly though he lost his job and this has been sat in his garage the past 2 years..
As you can imagine it's not perfect and needs some TLC but the majority of the bodywork isn't too bad, keeping it looking exactly the same as it is now to add to the 'sleeper' effect..
The plans:
* 6- Turbo flange top mount manifold
* Unsure exactly what turbo I'll be using yet but something GT30** sized should produce around 500bhp
* 13 Row oil cooler with filter relocation kit
* Oil feeds for sump drain
* 2.5" Intercooler kit (Probably similar to the one i used on the HDi)
* Re-circ valve (this over a D/V to add to the sleeper'ness)
* Uprated FPR
* 38mm External wastegate
* Oil catch tank
* Stand alone management - Not entirely sure what to use yet, any suggestions appreciated!
* 660cc Injectors
* Uprated fuel pump
There's probably loads of stuff i've missed out but that's just what came from the top of my head, Also been looking at a company called TRM in the 'states.. They do a full turbo kit which will take you from 192bhp ATF to 600bhp ATW and all for $5,200/£3,319 which is a tempting price for a ready made kit including management..
Lots to think about, cheers for looking !
