Part 3. Upside down extractors were fitted with a 38mm Tial style external wastegate. The factory rb20det turbo was used but reconditioned and ceramic internals were replaced with steel items. Stainless intercooling and intake piping was fabricated and a twin sequential blow off valve installed. The Nissan manifold underwent some heavy modification with the pressurised air now entering from the front rather than accross the valve cover. The intake manifold was also shortened in height by approximately 6cm in order to enable the bonnet to close. Manifold was pressure tested and coated. A walbro 500hp intank fuel pump replaced the factory pump , braided fuel lines, fuel filter and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator handle the fuel delivery. 3" exhaust system and twin tip muffler replaced the standard 325i exhaust which also meant the removal of the factory catalytic convertor. The BMW automatic transmission mounts were removed and customised mounts were made to house the rb`s 5 speed manual box. More progress pics

Nearly time to replace my tired 17" Alpinas. Looking for a good quality set of Rims & Tyres. Preferrably not chrome. Cheers guys

The rb20det was chosen as they are a dime a dozen, parts are cheap and you can extract a reasonable and enjoyable amount of power out of them. These reasons were followed through as teething problems would be a little lighter on the pocket to sort out. An rb26det could be on the books - long term project. With my mechanic/engineer preoccupied with motorsports over the christmas period it wasnt until February this year that the ball really got rolling on this project. Decided on Link G3 engine management, got the custom made engine mounts fitted, auto transmission removed and the car started to take shape although far from finished. More pics.

Started a wee conversion just over a year ago. Originally wanted to supercharge but opted to turbo the old M50 B25. Had a few issues around dyno time so tossed up the idea of a 1UZFE or an rb with manual conversion. So with a little persuasion i chose the latter. Here are a few pics at the start of the project.

I have a custom clutch pedal set up on my 95 325i. I am going to remove and install a factory E36 pedal box. Do I need a smaller brake booster to allow for clearance or will the stock booster be ok? Any advice would be much appreciated

Hi, can anyone tell me where to locate the PCV valve & hosing on a M50B25 engine. I need to replace the valve & also have an oil catch can to install. If anyone has done this before or can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. Cheerz

Cheers BMW POWER. Just lookin at options for an E36 at the moment but would dearly love to have another E30 to have some fun with, maybe a side project. Just gotta get hold of a suitable one first. Thanks

Thanks Napier E36. I have wanted to that little something special for a while. Will deffinately check your link out. Thanks for that, much appreciated. Dig the sideways Morri too!!!!!

Can anyone tell me how/where to find the month of manufacture of a 95 325 coupe? Ta

Has anyone turboed or supercharged an M52B25? I am picking the supercharger would be the easiest to do but I would probably prefer the turbo . Any guidance & ideas would be appreciated.

Awesome tips. Can we get the Wurth paint in NZ? Thanks for posting
