Hey guys -
so I am OFFICIALLY the proud owner of a 91 318i. Bought it last week in C-ville VA for $1200. It has plastic bumpers, an m42 swap, chip, exhaust, and 16s with fresh yokohama rubber. I love thing with a passion, and as soon as I get the power cord to my computer (I left it in belgium when I came home last week and my roomate is sending it to me) I'll post pictures
Now, the fun stuff. I ALSO purchased a NV m50 last week with forged pistons. The motor was completely torn down for a rebuild when the guy decided to sell it because he had to move. Its in a million pieces and this will be my first engine build. I am planning on running a Holset hx-35 with 7-8 lbs of boost, aiming for around 320 whp, somewhere in there. While I am a novice to actually building motors, I would consider myself technically competent and definitely a quick learner. I searched for build guides but came back without anything or real relevance. Can you vetrans point me in the right direction, or if you have any helpful tips for resources I can use to start reading up on how to begin this project?
Appreciate it!
