I just bought a 1984 318i and already have a 351 and a turbo laying around so I figured I would swap it. I'm assuming that it is a very similar swap to the 301-302 swaps that people do but I'm curious if anyone has any technical data. Specifically:
Will the t5 transmission be able to handle the increased power or will I have to source/make a built one?
Will the original ECU work or do I need to get a more advanced system to support the turbo?
Also I am pretty clueless on which differential I would need or driveshaft that I need to modify.
Sorry for the noobness of this post but this is my first BMW so I don't know much of what I'm doing. If it's important, this is going to be a track drift car that will be under heavy load often. I'm sure I have more questions but I'm at work right now so don't have much time. I will update on progress and any other questions I have.
