Sell it, get an M3. 90% of the people on here will agree

Bellicose

Pretty sick!, how much boost is it running?

Wont be needing injectors then!

Yea have read that

Cheers.

The new ECU, exhaust and intake may max them out. What hp are 24lb rated to?

Looking to go bigger..

s50's have 'blue top' / 24lb. Where can I get the next step up?

Are 36lb and 42lb too big for N/A?

edit: or 30lb?

They r sick azz bru

Moar

Some inspiration..

Nice mate,

It has to be so low in the front to match the rear

Who has a cheap Brake booster?

4 pots?

The m50 was running prior to the Turbo being put on. So it was run up on Sunday again with the Turbo

Just needs an exhaust now lol... and a e21 Brake booster and she will be street legal

Anyone have a decent priced e21 booster?

Epic, what size ? I dont follow Porsche spec's. Bigger than 355mm?

Few more pictures..

Came together nicely, nice Marc!

Tidy welds

Wilwood cylinders, do I hope to see some big brakes up front?

What are you doing for tuning?

Standard m50 ECU atm. Its only early stages. Marcs going to see how it runs on 5psi

so the cars in oz or nz?

rsl just did an e30 last week along these lines never saw it, and if you need parts for the dsr thing i have boxes of blown up ones you can have

Just to confirm it is in NZ. Resides in east Auckland. If they did the Manifold work then this is probably it. You from Auckland crunchy?

Really? Got any pictures?

From what Marc has told me it has the m50 manifold flipped and into 2 pipes then into the turbo

Good to the DRPHTA plates back to good use. Been seeing it round heaps

Should see it more soon!

Aiming to be started tomorrow

Fair enough

I used a similar sized turbo on my last setup and had next to no lag

Your not worried about boost tapering off at higher revs?

I would have thought the dsr430 would have been a better match

nissan guys use them and still have a low boost thresh hold

Have you lowered compression or standard C/R?

Not worried at all. A friends 04 Sti runs on 18psi with a smaller turbo and doesn't have any boost tapering off.

C/R hasnt been changed at all yet. Might lower it when looking for bigger HP.

Good ideas on lowering C/R?, I have heard of the thicker gasket trick

This is my best mates car Andrew. His name is Marc "MarcG" im just speaking on behalf as he doesnt use BS at all

What is everyones guesses for HPatw on 5psi? Id say 220-250hp?

How much has this cost so far in the conversion. 2g ?

Simple, usable power...

Want to see boost before 3k

lag is for dialup

Haha details soon.

It is a custom made exhaust manifold with equal length pipes.

2.5" dump pipe into a 2.5" exhaust

Will be running 5psi for the first week or so then some bigger numbers

So when I left nz I still had my plates with me as none of my mates had BMW's

This build has been going on for a few months now and this is what the plates are on now

320i Facelift Coupe

m50b25 Turbo conversion

Few pics of it coming together

Not being negative at all. Simply stating that I would prefer to spend my money on a different car.

I haven't driven one, only been a passenger.

I could buy a e46 m3 for less than half the price and it still would feel like the same breed of car to me

Epic rig, but I'd rather that E60 M5 and pocket the 60k for Heineken vouchers.

50k on heins and 10k for a personal trainer to get ur gut off
