Dinan Turbo E30 325i (NOT 56k friendly!)

[MR 325]

Agreed, it's probably around 250... but hell, that's not bad

Something I just found in the owners manual was a note which said 312whp @ 5500 and 334ft-lbs @3500. Whatever this means, I don't know :) it was just a sticky-note haha

edit: whatever the case is, it moves! And like I said like 3x, I'll get real numbers soon from a dynojet and post up the dyno sheets for everyone.

whatever the actual horsepower, i'd say that's a nice sleeper you have there.

i would change nothing about the looks except a euro plate filler (i think they look good on white cars), and maybe euro ellipsoids.

I think it looks great as is. I would put an IS lip on there lower it a bit and call it good.

nice wheels, I have the same ones f/s right now. so there are the pics of them installed on an e30 if anyone is still interested.

Even though you said its a Dinan one-off... is there any chance you can get around smog? Did they give you a cool sticker?

I have no clue. The car failed several times in Ca according to the paperwork I do have in the glovebox. So we'll see :)

[Julien]

[Hatchman]

Dinan is the shit

Any idea what turbo they used? Is it intercooled? Looks like it might be in the wheel well.

Its always wild to see how these companies setup the turbo system. Funny how they moved the AFM to the passenger side and mounted the turbo under the mani. Makes for a hell of a time messing will it. Lots of unnessay piping. But hey, if its makes anywhere close to 300hp then well worth it.

Excellent car!
