    318i power

    OK, I know my slow ass car has the wrong engine for mods, bit I don't care. I love the stupid car, and I want to make it faster. I am aware of 2.0 litre upgrades using 2002/320 crank/pistons/rods. From what I've read I could probably get it up to 150hp with some boring a cam, intake, and header. But, I was wondering about some forced induction. I've seen m10 turbo projects, everything seems to be fully custom, I can't even find a turbo manifold. I was also wondering if there was a way to fit a corrado g60 supercharger onto my motor. Just a couple thoughts.

    You could do a turbo, but you'd be better off swapping in an M50 IMO.

            m10 turbo, carbed, 10psi, bad fueling:



            proturbo.fi can help you out with a manifold. that's the hard part.

            an e21 320i block will let you gain displacement and drop compression a bit.
