e30 325i suspension upgrades?
Apex Effects replied to Apex Effects's topic in Brakes, Suspension & Steering
yea i will be doing the same 5 lug conversion u did. and im looking at the 19x8's only so rotation will be ok as i will be running same tyres all round the guy selling the mags says that 215/35/19, and 225/35/19 tyres will fit the wheels. there is a guy at my work thats just put black faced lenso rs5's in 215/35/18 on his e30 which is a pre facelift where as mine is a facelift. he is running standard hubs an using modified spacers and he also has lowered it on B&S springs he has no gaurd rubb i think. i just think these wheels would look mean on a old skool e30 as im going 4 the euro feel for the car. -

Turbo Kit for a m20b2.5 in a e30 325I
Apex Effects replied to Apex Effects's topic in Forced Induction & Performance Tuning
i would never buy cheap dodgy parts. by cheap i mean mint condition deals! and i dont do things by halfs i go all the way im very methodical ive been told i take ages to do sh## but i do it right! i also can do a bit of the work my self as im a aprentice mechanic/ tyre fitter by trade so yea. ive messaged 325grant and had no response so far all gud tho. i was just wanting 2 know a basic parts list and prices so i know what to buy 1st an put aside till ive got all the cash 2 buy all the parts and assemble it. this is the hoping result(not a wagon of course) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6u8zcb0Wu_I or this -

Turbo Kit for a m20b2.5 in a e30 325I
Apex Effects replied to Apex Effects's topic in Forced Induction & Performance Tuning
Nice. but stil i keen on turbo'n my bimmer as i like it soooo much its fun with out a turbo so i can only imagine wat will happen when a turbo is straped on to it . an with saying that i was thinking bout using a rb20 or rb25 turbo which from memory is a T25/T28. id have to get a manifold made, i was just wondering on the finer details eg. wat oil feed lines to use wat intercoolers fit, a ECU? and ways of strenghtining the engine to improve its reliability while running the snail. id put in sum H&R springs and Bilstein shocks and look at investing in a strut brace like gary has. also i was looking at doing a 5 lug conversion and would use sum bigger disc's and 4 pots upfront if my car dont already have them. so wat else is there.... injectors ofcorse, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator im running out of things i can think of... ok all gud just if any 1 got sum cheap parts for this. drop me a line please as im keen 2 get started. -

Hi all i beat u have been asked this before but. i wana turbo my 325I i was wonding on prices? and say a possible parts list needed. ive been looking at da motorsport in Istanbul, Turkey at there 520hp m3 turbo kit and what parts maybe needed for my car as there kit i dont think would suit my car. and the asking price of 10,000USD is a bit high for my liking. considering i think that would b bout 20,000NZD for me? ive always wanted to turbo or supercharger a bimmer ever since me and my mate jono got talking bout bmw's and i know ill be also looking at suspension upgrades and brakes to keep up with the power increase so im realy just after some advice on who 2 talk 2 in tauranga maybe? or just a ball park figure on what im looking at spending on it. thanks sorry if this post is miss place or hard 2 understand im still a newbie on here. any comments would b cool thanks shaun.
