Has anybody out there turboed the 320 1987 engine if so would be interested in how straight forward it was any pit falls or problems incounted. Would like to get a little more out of the old girl. Any links, info would be fantastic. Cheers Brendan :bowdown:

try

bmw turbo link

it will give you the basics but to be honest its not the best.

(if i remember he used bolts from a hardware shop for his head)

its a start

why would you want to turbo a 2 litre tho.... for cheap enough you could chuck a 2.5 in, instead of spending 5g on a turbo conversion

I have only own the car a few months I bought it as a semi project/get to work car so am not that familiar with what would be the best bang for my buck would 325 have more gains over turbo 2 ltr I love the way the car drives but would like a bit more get up and go. so hence I am asking people more of a knowledge base than my own what they would consider so any advice will be taken onboard. Cheers.

sorry dude, yuh, tis fairly cheap to do a 2.5 or a decent 2.7 build, theres a sticky in performance section with details on how to do a 2.7 build, it isnt that expensive to do either, compared with turbo

if your pretty happy with your car and only want a "bit more go" the best bet would be to find a 2.5 they go pretty good.

it would be a good first step, if you still want more after that you can always turbo the 2.5

im sure theres someone in your area that has a 2.5 that can take you for a spin so you can see what they go like.

i think youll find a 2.5 will do what you want

hope this helps

if you still want to do a turbo project let me know i have tons and tons of info on this.
