ix turbo

[Rocco335i]

anyone got any info on doing a turbo in a ix whats involved
basically i just want more power what are my options this thing is just way to slow compared to my e92 335i twin turbo

[BimmerScreamer]

Im no expert but Im pretty sure as far as the engine its the same as any other m20

[Rocco335i]

i know that but what about the transfer case and the oil pan

[Danny]

What would the transfer case and oil pan have to do with a turbo at all?

Have you searched around at all?

[yoni]

I suppose he's wondering how much power the t-case can handle..?

Turbo's been done..

Do a little searching. If not here, check the iX section on e30tech.

[BimmerScreamer]

uhm, turbo? buy a different car?

[Jesse30]

you've bought the wrong car

[BimmerScreamer]

why did he buy the wrong car? I would feel fine doing a turbo on my iX, just make it a conservative one and maintain your drive train, watch the fluids and don't dump the clutch at every light.

how do you go wrong with a $500 1988 ix in good condition
i think i got a great deal though:drink:

is this the right car my 2007 e92 335i twin turbo i think i bought the right car:up:

i chose the words wrong. for the kind of power he wants, he bought the wrong e30.


ix's are really cool and you can boost them as long as you dont get crazy with them. but then you have a car thats close to a time bomb in my eyes.

[yoni]

do you own an iX ?

turbo, or build a stroker.

eh.. this is a pretty ignorant statement, but w/e.

and yes, an E92 335i is the right car. lol.
