Dayum.

That sort of setup will be 400+ of lazy horsepower.

I will hardly even need to rev above 4grand to go places ,unlike i do with the m20 lol.

[bmwsparkle 3]

nice choice man. Cool motors. Sound hot. Youll be lucky to kill a rebuilt w55 as well. Wicked.

[m325i 709]

Im still using the standard cosmos blue but we are adding a few secret things to bring it up. Ive seen a demo

and all i can say is whoa! its really an amazing paint, Brake wise i think a will upgrade to willwoods but not sure yet,

my lsd diff will hold up fine, they are a very very strong diff from factory. Alot of 500hp turbo e30s still run

standard diffs and they love it

Nice work, I've often wished I could swap the motor for the day from my daily.

'97 motor should already be good for 206kw+, so that's a good start.

What are you doing to strengthen your subframe ?

rear unibody conversion?

rear unibody conversion?

No plans for any major chassis reinforcement, there are alot of guys overseas running more power than i will be

that still have the standardish setup . From talking to my installer the other night we have decided to

run NA for a few months just to see how it handles the extra power and torque. Then the bolt on S/C conversion with low boost

and go on from there. Hoping it wont need to much in the way of reinforcment

[Gus 5]

i was just playin

exactly what i would do..give it a go and see how it fares...i can imagine the torque possibly killing the LSD, but the actual chassis itself should be fine

a set of urethane suspension stuff though will probably be quite beneficial to reduce movement under power

Year the torque could be a bit of a factor, hope not tho. I certainly will br freshing things up in the suspension in the rear

and i may even get around to finally fitting my ajustable subframe bushes lol. they have been sitting there for ages

rear unibody conversion?

I guffawed at this
