i have been looking a bmw e30s i know its not ford but i think they are nice cars any way i know some one who is selling a white f reg 325i. i have seen alot of people putting turbos on them and getting good results.

or shall i keep my fiesta turbo i have a bit of money saved up but not enouth to get painted but if i sell it i can afford to buy the bmw and spend some cash on it?

 

Buy the bmw, at least you wont spend the cost of the car ten times over on repair bills

 

i will as am turboing it lol

 

Stick a M52 2.8 lump in an E30 and job done.

 

you will if you put a ford engine in it

 

i a bmw forum and they say a stock 325i engine can handle 400hp sound to good to be true

 

can and will are totally different things. it might but not for long i wouldnt think.

 

i will be happy with about 270.

 

Why do you always criticize Fords? But come on a Ford forum?

 

I meant like when its up and running, not the cost of doing it

 

good point lol

 

I can say what i like, its a free world.


Anyway dont take me so seriously, i do actually like some fords and have owned plenty myself.

Lastly, this forum is not strictly for ford owners, never has been.

 

lol touchy

 

Calm down!
Never said you cant use it, just saying you seem to always put them down.
Never heard you say a good thing about them. Thats all.

 

are you on www.e30zone.net ? you can find out definative answers on there but off the top of my head 7-10psi on a standard engine seems to be the most common with power about the figure you want. holset seem to be a turbo of choice as theyre big and cheap compared to garrets.

 

yer am on there i have seen you on there lol.

 

well the engine out of my fiesta is prov sold so guess am brakeing it now

 

i was reading up on some of the stuff on e30zone and apparently 400bhp is do able on standard internals.

 

like i say al be happy with about 270hp for now lol

 

Just get a bmw like everyone else does.

 

The 3.5 fits in there nicely..... There's no replacement for displacement.

 

there is... a turbo.

 

yer wounder how hard it is to do

 

very easy by all accounts. its probably the most common conversion with 218bhp straight out the box and off the shelf mounts etc available.

 

Thought you was pregnant looking at the title...

 

There was an article a while back in Total Bmw, from what I remember it's straight forward enough.

 

lol i have the belly for that

 

 

you want a nice bike mate

You got the bm yet?

 

i know mate al have to come see yours am sure we can sort something out

no ant got the bm yet but i should have it this week. al be gutted when my rs is gone but soon as i get some decent money al be getting a saff lol
