hey cool they have turbo kits........interesting, perhaps when i get an e34 big six, tired of my e34 m50 525i already :( but now i can fix up my 528i and still have a car to drive to work ;).. that 3.0 CS is really really nice

[kyleN20]

The owner is a member of our car club. There was an article on his venture into drag racing back in 2004. Obviously has a lot of cash to throw around

A lot of cash? The modifications probably cost more than the car. Have a read over at bimmerforums. He gives a lot of **** to the USA dudes becasue they can't come near his quarter mile times and they claim a lot higher horsepower figures from their cars.

Why get a M30? I hope you realize that there are E36s with your motor ('92 non vanos) making 750+ horsepower running 10.7 sec quarter miles...

Food for thought ;)

Would it not be easier to get the horsepower from the big six? http://servo.postverket.us/alex/BMW.pdf I believe we have one on our forum as well.

Alright let me know when you sell your motor. I will buy it.

Reason?

http://boostjunky.com/gallery/albums/turboE30/motor2.jpg

M50B25 non vanos. This is what mine will look like sooner or later... except with a supercharger as well.

753rwhp.

[rob101]

man you are giving me bad ideas, hehe

[beetos]

OMFG, that is a serious set up, very serious!! I thought I was bad. That black E34 link you posted is my car.

[Jay 535i]

753rwhp.

Why!?

Seriously, what can you do with 750 that you can't do with 500 (besides embarass a Gallardo above 180MPH)?

[AllGo'n'Show]

Brag that you have 750 and not "just" 500

[Jay 535i]

Hmm, that's what I thought. (rolls eyes)

[AllGo'n'Show]

Cause hookers are dirty, guess you old men might need them :P
I jsut move on to the next one :D

Um, break into the low 10's or high 9's.

Research it up. E36's with <650 hp/tq are in the 11's still.

Also. You can go to a dyno shootout, and dyno 753rwhp - knowing you have probably 900 crank horsepower.

Theres really no justification for it except that the difference between 500 hp on an M50 and 750hp on an M50 is about $150 for a larger wastegate and different compressor housing.

Re: 1/4 mile times, I guess if that's your thing, okay.

Re: $150 for 250hp, okay, I get it now. :)

Will it still be streetable?

Yes. There's about a $75 - $100 price difference between a Tial 38mm wastegate (for like 500 hp) and a Tial 44mm waste gate (700+) and another $100 or so difference for a larger AR housing for the turbo... still streetable...and street legal, etc.

How often do you drive the car? I can't imagine what it would be like to have 750hp under my right foot.

Is it loud? What have to spent to come this far? Could it be used as a daily driver?

I'm dying to learn more about your car, Jon.

[632 Regal]

:D :D :D



I jsut move on to the next one :D

now your catching on!

[AllGo'n'Show]

:D :D :D



now your catching on!

Learned it the hard way :( Very hard. Maybe young but it still hurts.

Been a shitty year in that aspect. Christmas break = bottoms up boys!
