Turbo Anyone?

Hey Guys,
Looking for a turbo charger for my 1988 325. Any one know where I can get one?

Hmm, I've never seen a kit for the E30's, but honestly, unless you have a brand new (ie <20,000 mile) engine, I would say you were crazy to actually do it.

Better thing to do is drop an S50 engine in it.

How in the heck do I go about getting an S50 engine?

 

[epj3]

there are many ways, maybe ebay, call around. I knwo you can find one on the internet somewhere

What do I search for when I am lookin on the internet...just "S50"?

 

[epj3]

www.google.com figure it out. I've never searched for an engine, becuase mine is fine

I would try S50, BMW Engines, Rebuilt Engines, New Engines, etc.

Yeah ireland engineering makes a turbo kit but..

To make your engine work with it will be lots of $$$

Then If you wanna do a SC your in the same boat.

Its more cost effective to get a m50 engine (about $3500 with tranny) because you can get a 240bph engine and still have room to work on it with a SC or what not. Ive seen m50 m3 engines hit 480hp with a SC

you can find turbo kits for the e30 models like the m20 motor at Irelend Engineering. @ bmw2002.com, they have 2.9 big bore motors and 3 liter motors and turbo kits and such. Also rebuilt motors are available from bavengine.com
