ETA?

2012. The kit will be available by around bimmerfest if everything goes as planned. But nothing ever does when you have to rely on other people.

[e30shmobberr]

sounds like a great plan

[e30shmobberr]

no pictures of a bottom mount set up?

[einstein57]

I'll take pics soon once i finish some key issues.

ight, cool. also i heard that bottom mount turbos have a oil cooling issue, do you know anything about this?

I know they usually have oil drain issues. Unless your referring to oil cooler line fitment issues. In that case hell yes. I had to remove my oil cooler untill i find a suitable relocation kit. All the oil stuff is right where the inlet wants to go. Almost all solutions require drastic bends and reduction in inlet diameter plumbing. Check out the TCD setup. It would not be an issue if we had m50 style oil filters.

I think a remote oil supply and motorcycle oil cooler would be a great addition to a rear mount.

Unless it's CARB certified. I don't think most cops are suspicious of a 20 year old BMW "yuppie" car to begin with unless you make it obvious you're modded. They mostly go after Honda's and such because they tend to have the most illegal mods and engine swaps.

and also the fact that hondas are fucking gay, my buddys dad is a cop here in so-cal and he says all the cops hate the hondas lol...probably because we have soo many gay ricers out here

couldn't you just get an alpina rep valve cover and steering wheel, then claim its some rare version with stock turbo?

Funny you said that... I was actually going to try to pass it off as a Callaway tuned E30.. ( which, i don't think he ever made one)

[einstein57]

You can check the carb certificate data base and see if they offered one. According them dinan never certified the e30 kits. Only the m30 kits.

didnt they have a rare dinan e30 m3 turbo kit that was carb legal? i have heard of this

[einstein57]

I searched the data base but did not find one for the m20

[MonkeyMadness]

That's Crazy it's hard to beleave that with all the tuners of the days for the bimmers that no one did a carb legal with certs turbo package. I would have thought that the M20 back in the day would have been a no brainer, strong, peppy, potent, and bmw made tons of them..
