From NA to Turbo

[gverelli]

Nice, you should post a detailed list of the engine/turbo setup.

btw, what did you do with the old headers? :)

[LuckyHenriksen]

Oooo so hott. I love how clean the outside of the car and the engine bay is! Would love to see a build thread or more details on your setup

Your not being a waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. Your right, keep in mind a am 19 and paying myself through collage. So i can't afford Grt turbos and stuff like that. It is an ebay kit but there is lots that is not ebay as well. Bottom line is I paid for what I could, and did the best I could to make it clean and well put together. And so far the only thing to break was an ARP metal head gasket (due to a timing issue that I fixed), nothing from the kit is showing any wear after using it as a DD for 6 months while taking it to the drag strip and driving it like any other male teenager haha

I traded the headers for a LSD 3.73

I am not against it, I've always ran around the idea of just getting all that stuff off ebay and seeing what I could come up with.

Still a clean install, regardless of the parts.

Well the Kit I got was very solid

I guess its a bit of a hit and miss with ebay stuff, I have heard of ebay stuff braking right away and then there is me and my 2 other friends in edmonton with ebay kits in our e30's, and we all have had good luck, my friend had a 2.8 stroker and ran the ebay kit for 4 years until he sold the car.

Well done, sir!

The finished product (so far)




Since these pictures, I have blacked out all the chrome on the car, replaced the hood (the clear coat was pealing), ordered HIDs, did some body work to take care of some of the little rust it had. Now i am just waiting for the damn snow to melt.

Looks like a picture BMW themselves would take. looks sexy
