Guest MSBOND Report post Posted October 9, 2003 Dude if your planning on turbo charging that thing you got along way to go... for one you guna have to ditch the 1.6l and two whip a nice $10000 out your ass... join the club... good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dnz 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 pretty cool, next step is smoked indicators on the front.. Why turbocharge? Supercharge would be better in NZ coz you aint gonna do much high speed anyway thanks to crusty roads, slow traffic and angry cops..! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spargo Report post Posted October 15, 2003 I agree with supercharging, why not drop an M44 in there, and pony up for a Downing-Atlanta roots type supercharger kit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dnz 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 superchargers have a quick pickup, which will be good in nz since its a traffic light racers country heheh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dnz 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 that figure is probably including other mods.. Probably need to upgrade quite a few parts so it can handle the power. Coz a turbo aint much good without a tranny! hahah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*sic 1 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 that figure is probably including other mods.. Probably need to upgrade quite a few parts so it can handle the power. Coz a turbo aint much good without a tranny! hahah he will need a manual thats for sure, im unsure as to the internals to what they can hold boost wise, but you gotta remember that that car of yours aint light and you have the same size engine as in my little crx.... get a bigger engine man, stuff the turbo... its more than you think it is.. and if you wanna push more than say 6-8psi your internals will most likely fri and melt pistons!then you gotta go get new pistons, springs, retainers, cams, to name a few $$$ burners, then bigger exhaust for turbo application, get a lsd! foo sho!. im about to embark on this very mission, cept im a little better off than you.. it aint gonna cost me labour! have fun and DO RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!!

Dnz 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I dont think the engine will be the problem, it will be everything else.. mainly need stronger everything.. Like if you got an E36 you should definately try and get reinforcement plates for your subframe.. Yeah, id go with a bigger engine. And then get it bored out..and chipped Or if you want to blow all this money on a turbo, go sell yuour car and buy an M3. Coz when you get more power, you also need to make sure your car can handle the power, acceleration as well as braking and safety wise /tyres/suspension.. I'd definately make sure everything else is up to scratch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd definately make sure everything else is up to scratch. You can leave it auto. The tranny can handle it.The motor won't handle more than 6 psi boost. The drivetrain is OK. The subframe won't break. I've NEVER seen a broken one. You'd have to track it + only the 93/94 models had that problem Bottom line is.. its not worth FI a 1.8 ltr bimmer 4 banger (at least not your one).
