So my BMW collection is nearing completion

[Guest Andrew]

Racecar, Daily driver... and

turbo 318is

All I need is an E30 m3 then i'm done - awesome.

It's good fun - monster amounts of turbo lag and feels like it has an average tune on it. So i'm popping down to Gavin Bellars hi-velocity (hiveloctiy.co.nz) tomorrow night to get it tuned and sort out a slight on boost problem. Is around 300 hp - good fun.

That is so hot!

I'm wanting to do that to my e36 318is Coupe. (m42)

Do you have much information about the build?

I'd love 200hp outta my E36 M42.. anything over that would be fantastic.

post some pics of the extractors. They are awesome.

318isCoupe, have a look at the photos of the engine bay. A lot of stuff had to be moved to get the turbo and electronics working.

And nothing was done to Rangi mods specs. Professional's did all the work.

Yeh. First thing I did was run out and take a photo of my engine bay to compare.

Ain't a whole lotta clearance between the exhaust side of the engine and the right hand suspension strut/wheel arch assembly.

and I can see lots of electronics that would have to be moved, and piping that will have to be re-routed, but man it would be cool (and I wouldn't mind ditching my aircon)

It wasn't - but I had first option when it came for sale again as I had "bought" it first time

Haven't heard much about how the Turbo 318 is going in the last few weeks.

So did you get the tuning problems sorted?
