777- Kamotors E23 Turbo Build + E38 content and a hint of e32

[CorvallisBMW]

yes putting it on the b34, the M30's take quite well to boost, and this setup was removed from an M30 partout that ran very well
Going extremely basic for the motor, TCD is burning me the chip still, picked up a used Begi for well under $200, I have a used set of 30lb injectors, and then just the 745i manifold and turbo.

Going very 80's technology, nothing fancy just quick bolt on's. Honestly on a car of this age and size, going all power crazy is not worth it. Parts are very hard to find for this era of 7 series. Its not like my E30 were if something breaks I can just go on a forum and grab a new part. A lot of parts are NLA or just plain difficult to locate.


Total cost is under $1000 for a turbo conversion as I went used on every single part except the chip.

Nice, should be a lot of fun. You're definitely undercutting my turbo build by a huge amount of $ :)

Got last bit of stock parts off so I can bolt on some boosted goodness soon!

Chocolate e32. Little brother got his seven back from paint.

That looks fantastic! What are his plans for wheels? Is he going to keep your old 18s permanently? Some 18" LMs (or reps for cost reasons) with a gold face would look tits IMO.

Cleaned up a bunch of dead end cut wires and deleted cruise control. Received correct tcd chip and got that installed as well. Need to find some studs to mount my turbo manifold still.

Cut down some steel rod to center the m8 studs and got the turbo setup installed!
