Since the 3 series uses are whole new line up of engines...it is very unlikely the new kits will fit unless custom job is done... I havent seen many turbocharged BIMMERs but with a lot of Jap cars...from NA to turbocharged...you would be looking at more than the cost of a turbo, intercooler, custom fabrication, blow off valve, possible wastegate etc... You would be looking at added costs for larger juice pump, larger juice squirters, adjusments to the engine for lower compression...this is because with a turbocharged car, have lower compression ratio to allow more juice and air to mix for maximum combustion etc etc...so you would be looking at a very high cost...natually with a already packed 200 ponies on your rear treads...consider ECU for a better engine background...just a smoother power curve, intake/exhaust upgrades should all be beneficial~ and more realistic sort of upgrade...but you really want a TT setup...you might as well donk in a RB26DETT for the best results Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted June 10, 2007 ^^ learn some more before recommending jappa engines in a BMW supercharging seems pretty popular for the m52 (or is it m54??) the only prob with turbo is being RHD, there really is bugger all room in that area and even if they did, as with all pre build turbo kits...$$$$$ keep an eye out, there may be something out there making the stock system fit from the 335 would prob be more difficult than making a custom way...the turbos on it are tiny anyway...the manifold might fit, but all the wiring, wastegates etc would be a pain in the ass my head hurts just thinking about it!

tibbs.james 1 Report post Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) You can gauge an idea of what is really involved by looking at what is included in a 350Z turbo kit. Usually you need Turbo,manifolds,intercooler,piping,brackets for various things that need to be moved,high flow fuel pump,bigger injectrors, chip for ecu or piggy back computer to control it all.Of course the turbo/and wastegate and to make sure the exhaust is big enough to allow decent flow. and all that is just for a stock engine where you may only be able to run 10psi of boost anyway. depending on compression. at this stage it is also likely something will fail sooner than usuall unless extra care is taken with regards to maintenance and proper service work. This is perhaps why supercharger kits for BM's seem popular due to the fact that a supercharger simply does not need so much extra equipement added. things like intercoolers and replaceing exhaust components may not be required. But either way a custom job $$$$$$$ and a decent kit is $$$$$$$$$ THen you bring me to the exact reason that makes me think Drifty 340i is onto a winner with his v8 swap. Cheap Easy reliable horsepower.( while recogising the huge work that has gone into it) Edited September 24, 2007 by Jimmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
