AN E30 Fan 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Cruising trademe today I came across this, http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-260746229.htm Seems like it could use a little work, i.e. tidy up the body and put on an M Spec kit, But I just could see the point in doing it to a M50B20? Why not a M50B25? It would be a mint daily though, with it only running 5psi. Edited December 21, 2009 by AJ-E30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30plz 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 Relatively reliable only running low boost, rather than running higher boost like 12 or 15 psiI guess, but the amount of boost wouldn't effect it's reliability if it was setup properly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
antil33t 90 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 Turbo cars would be as economical (within reason) the turbo cars I have driven, however only one had a boost gauge. you could drive it without making the gauge move into postive boost at all. but, the temptation still lies there to boost away Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kingkarl 136 Report post Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) That's quite possibly the ugliest rocker cover I've ever seen. Boot is fugly too. edit: come to think of it, why would you bother turbo'ing a 320 when dropping an m50b28 in it would be far cheaper/more reliable/quicker/more economical/better sounding/more original Edited December 21, 2009 by kingkarl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorburn 120 Report post Posted January 9, 2011 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-344405327.htm It seems to have grown .8 of a litre, plus a megasquirt and rebuilt-ish. Anyone know more about it? I think the owner once posted in the fs section about it in the past Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
