hidden turbo?

[e30shmobberr]

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..

agreed, you would think a big company would make one cause a good amount of e30 owners want to go the turbo route i think

With the lack of affordable stand alone systems back in the day, a turbo system had to be specifically tuned to each car. Kinda makes it hard to make if carb legal unless you make it basic enough to the point where it makes no power. Either that or you'd have to provide a pre adjusted afm and fpr which would be a paine.

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)

thats the kind of thing i was thinking about. something thats rare and wont have alot of info readily available, but also believable. that way when their isnt a number in the system for the car you could say that its because it was overlooked due to rarity.

sounds like it might be able to slide.

Not in california. That plate would have the C.A.R.B. # right on it. Assuming you were planning on putting it in the engine bay.

Does the cop on the beat have a way to check a C.A.R.B. number if one presented to him or her?

I mean "counterfeiting" one of these doesn't look that hard..
We're boosting and remapping a 26-22yr old car on our laptops
I think we could figure out how to come up with a usable c.a.r.b. sticker

Are the cops in Cali harder on the guys that have modified imports over the guys that have modified domestics?

[MonkeyMadness]

yes..
I've had both and the domestics don't even get looked at...

[Kershaw]

yes..

I like getting complements and thumbs up from them in my domestics with little exhaust or just open headers :). But i never did get bothered in my black e30, only the first one with tinted windows. Although i dont go around driving all crazy either lol.

(I live in PA, but do 99% of my driving in MD)

I think we have it pretty good in CA since cops are busy busting donks and ricers.
