1988 325 super eta

[bimmerphile]

well yeah.. but that's a pretty big jump from 121hp and a what, 4700rpm rev limit?

5250, thank you very much ;)

EDIT: and that's 127hp

Nando, the cam would do little to nothing without an 'i' intake manifold and throttle body. Remember that the '88 325 intake manifold is even skinner than the 325e manifold. :!:

ok so by the looks of my engine bay I alreday got the i intake manifold, and you guys say that the 325 super has i heads on so what else do i need to finish the conversion.

how do you figure?

[CrazyB86]

also I am in the market for a new clutch kit which one of this two would you get
Clutch Kit Sachs IN STOCK $229.00 $194.65

Clutch Kit Exedy IN STOCK $229.00 $224.72

because from looking at the photos of the i intake manifolds and seeing them in person mine looks exactly the same also so does the super come with I heads?

[slammed_e30]

It has basically an i head on it but, it has the e cam, springs and doesn't have the journals that the i head does. So You need a cam, valve springs, and some light head work. The i computer so you can chip it and remove the super e limiter, and the throttlebody, but if you say you have the i manifold you would already have the TB. Lets see a pic of the intake just to make sure, because that would be kind of weird to just have the i intake manifold.

If you still have the same manifold as in your sig pic....it's not an 'i' manifold. See how skinny the runners are on your intake mani?

Clutch, a stock replacement will do fine. If you are seriously tracking the car or doing a lot of WFO (ahem, WOT) shifting...you might want to get a Sachs Heavy Duty. 8)

so that sachs in the photo is better then the other one, because it looks like a nicer one yet it is cheaper

The sachs is a better choice because it's stock.

It does have the journals. No drilling necessary. Damn I need some cash. :)
