ETA turbo....

[bimmer_E30]

ok i have some questions i am planing on turboing my 325e with out any head work .. just plain eta turbo...questions...
1. would the stock head gasket would be fine???
2. how much boost???
3. would the stock clutch hold fine ( since its pushing 110WHP right now , i guess boosting it up to 200WHP want harsh the clutch )
4.i know that a turbo 325i would make 300WHP how about the eta??? since its like 100WHP stock , what would be the output after the turbo..

i am using the ebay turbo kit ( yes i am cheap ... but with different turbo )
.

also i am planning on doing the timing belt and water pump also wiring an electrical fan.

OMG!!!! man stop asking this question. i will say it again and for the last time.. i am not getting what i am asking for it.

so now your going to dump money into it?
why not just enjoy it the way it is.
even if you boost it, you wont recoup your costs for doing it by selling it.
Didn't you get an offer of 4500? id say take it.
I'm just tired of seeing all these threads relating to you either turboing your eta engine, or swapping the m20b25 top end in and then boosting it, or swapping in a multitude of engines and then boosting them? when will it end?

its slow!!! and if i get even 4000 or 3500 right now i will let it go.. but i am getting like 1500 , 2500 WTF?? i bought the car for 3500 STOCK and i put like 4000 into it.. so why not dump another 2000 or so and enjoy a nice , fast e30.

also yes i am a newb and i need some help to finish my project.

P.S all i know is that E30tech and R3vlimited were made for a reason , and thats to gather some information and help newb people like me with there projects.

Get an i head, then do it. Other then that it's pretty much pointless.

back to DOHC?
man, pick one, buy shit, bolt it together.
Just pick up an I top end setup, you will love it!

why not do a motor swap? you can do an m50 swap for cheaper then a turbo eta

an m50 is still weak... 190hp is not enough...

do you think your driving skill level can take a car with that much power? its alot to handle for some

yah ,,,why not...

[e30s52]

im just warning you. driving a car way above your skill level is very unsafe. im just getting use to driving my s52 and that is alot of power. e30's with 200+ horsepower tend to understeer alot.
