Boosted E30 325i Thread

[Nikhil]

Throw in some green hoses and it will look like xmas...:fencelook:
Please tell me why you went so crazy with the red paint?

I wanted to do something different with the paint scheme, the e30 has lots to powdercoat so I thought- this car is ott already being turbocharged, its not a "real" 325iS and its for the most part in rubbish condition in the body. Ag and when it comes down to it its about taste really.

And lastly... I have even had doubts about the colour scheme myself :roflol: but I'm balls deep now so may as well see it through!

I think it looks awesome :rollsmile: the red shock towers are a bit much but everything else is sweet :thumbs:

Oil supply and return sorted! Shaun built a custom return pipe that minimizes the rubber pipe needed, we all know that if that return pools there is trouble. As you can see there is no chance of that here.

Shaun also fabricated a bracket to keep the feed line off the exhaust manifold, neat trick:thumbs:

Should start her up early next week!

I agree, shock towers were a bit ott. Looked epic before the motor was in thou.

My turbo was a litte small for my application and I decided to make a compromise and sell my original turbonetics turbo for a big no name brand turbo.

Fuel rail has been modded to accept a nice fat adjustable FPR as well. When we swap out the turbos we can start her up!

Shaun at level 7 still doing top draw work.

This looks awesome! Thanks for sharing everything - I've been following for a while. Quick question - will the intake be able to suck air efficiently enough for maximum flow? Are you going to open up an air scoop or something?

Yo! Howsit?

What we did is cut a hole in the inner fender right near the headlight side and route a 76mm pipe through it. Thus the intake is now (albeit extremely low) in fresh cold air. It's essentially outside of the engine bay entirely and has air routed to it via the brake cooling ducts now.

Only concern will be puddles but we will take that as it comes.

You can see the pipe here

Last minute upgrade, fortunately it was a straight swap!

As you can see the car is extremely dirty and dusty, just imagine her all polished up!!

Cool, thanks for the reply. It looks great! You're going to vacuum a line in the leaves with that huge turbo!
