    Turbo a BMW?

    that was a good year you'll find. i was born in 84 and yes perhaps it is old news but it's a good way to find an extra few Hp in a car that probably wouldn't do much more then stock with some NA bolt ons.

    Turbo a BMW?

    ok people, i did a serch and couldn't find anything but has anybody on here done a turbo set-up on a 318i. i'm wanting to know the following as my decision for getting the car will be based on a few factors like a turbo setup. i am told an E36 318i is slow so why not bolt on a snail... if this is possible i would like to know the folllowing... is there enough room to fit a setup in there? How much power does a BMW block handle? will the slushbox handle anymore power then stock? or is it not worth it as it will cost a small fortune to replace all the parts you break? i know i can run around 6 or 7psi through a honda motor and with a good tune it will run good but how about the BMW? Cheers Damian
  3. yeah fair enough, it could be back to the drawing board then...

  6. yeah for one i would locate the pod under the bumper with some 3" pipe and silicone joiners and the seat covers would be out of there.
  7. ahhh it all makes sence...and holy crap that's odd, i don't know anybody with there name spelt with an A and you drive a honda, crazy. and this is one car i'm looking at doing a deal with: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=48014153 Has this got any potential, it is a very small motor compared to the likes of the V6 and V8's
  8. Cheers for the great info, yeah i know there is alot more to manual conversions the just the gear box, i was more just wanting to know if it was possible to do swaps on these cars which as everybody has said is possible but perhaps with a price. Also labour wouldn't be to big of a deal as my mums partner is a mechanic and my uncle is an engine rebuilder so that shouldn't be a problem. and i'm not to sure what *sic is on about either :drunk:
  9. Hello, i'm new here and don't know much about BMW (i'm a honda person ) i have been looking at either selling my car and buying a BMW or swapping my car for one. The problem is that i like manuals and it seems that all the BMW's i look at are auto. i'm looking around the year 1991 to 1996 and it's gt to be a 4dr sedan. my question is, obviously it depends on which car i get with which motor but generally speaking is it possible to do a manual conversion on most of or all the BMW's of those years? Sorry for such a general question but i can't narrow it down untill i find the car i want... Cheers Damian ps: i did a search and didn't really find what i was after.
