Hi guys I have just purchased a 323 coupe on a p reg, m52b25 single vanos, it is going to end up as a drift car but before that happens I would like to squeeze more power out of her, I have been thinking of a turbo conversion on a e36 for a couple years now and finally bite the bullet and am going ahead with it.
I have got my top mount manifold sitting there ready to go on, I have just ordered a t3 hybrid turbo, it should be with me next week, I have also ordered my oil lines for it so they should be here soon, so once they are here I will get them all fitted and upload some pics
Once that is done I have also to do:
Intercooler and piping
M3 injectors
Custom exhaust
Rr and Remap
Not sure on anything else yet but there will no-doubt be a lot more to do
My main concern is the compression, I will only be running the turbo at low boost (0.7ish bar), will I have to install a thicker head gasket or will mine be ok for now? Or what would it do if I just don't do it?
I have never converted a n/a engine before but I am a mechanic so I'm good with the tools/fabrication part but the electronics side confuses me at the thought so that part will be done by a professional
Any help/advise/tips will be greatly appreciated
