    This.


    You should consider selling that E30 to someone who will appreciate it for what it is, and finding one better suited for what you want to accomplish.

    Why on earth would you try to build a 9 second E30 out of what appears to be a truly cherry car? You’re going to have to destroy the shell modifying it to get enough grip, and you’ll probably end up cutting apart the front end to get the kind of large scale turbo plumbing that you’d need to get near a thousand at the crank.

    If you want to accomplish a build like this, you're going to need to learn to be a lot more self sufficient in your research. No one can spoon feed you an 800hp turbo M20 build. You have years of research, thousands of dollars in development cost/iterations, and a whole lot of blood/sweat/tears ahead of you in a project like this.

    Maybe contact ppf or even bimmerheads to talk about options for the motor.

    M20 Turbo Build

    Hey guys hope everyone is well, so I've been a bmw enthusiast for the longest leaving me more then strapped at times lol But it is a passion I cannot shake and I currently sport a stroked e9x m3. It has however always been my dream to build an m20b25 e30 and hit the crazy realm of 9 seconds. Recently I came across a jewel and finally am in a position to make that dream come true but am completely ignorant on where or how to even start with this platform. I found through a family friend a 1990 325i which was beyond babied with mint condition interior/exterior and 130,000 original miles. It has had only 1 owner and only 1 shop has ever touched it for 30 years, insane I know. So can someone please give me some good old honest direction on what to do from scratch. I would greatly appreciate all help and advice thank you. If it helps looking to hit 600 to eventually someday 800 wheel on a very well kept m20 block and am willing to modify whatever necessary. I understand this is a long process and I am not rich but put the money aside for this and have a good set of helping hands mechanically I just would love some honest help and feedback on what to do to the car to get there thank you.

    This was the closest I could find to what I'm looking for but not looking for 1000hp somewhere in the 600 to 800 range
    I’m going to tell you something that you might find hard to swallow. This isn’t actually a car. It may have all the characteristics of an automobile: headlights, four wheels, doors and stuff, but this is not a car. What is it? It’s a WMD. A Weapon of Mass Destruction. You may think that the …
