Hello to you all!!

I have just bought a bimmer with the idea of doing a few track days & maybe some sprint races later on this year. It has had just about everything done to it for these sort of events. The engine has been re-built but, it's stock only, other than a performance back box & air fillter. I have been thinking of adding a turbo unit maybe a garret t2/t3, I would like to get arround 200/250bhp out of the engine, would any of you be able to help as i am new to this type of situation.

hope you can help!!

yours dom

http://www.e30zone.net/ is probably the best place to head. I am sure there will be tons of turbo build threads there

There's a few turbos around on the e30zone! Probably the easiest way to that kind of power level is an S50 engine from an e36 M3 if budget allows, or maybe a 2.8 M52 with some tuning for a bit less.

There's allways the old 3.5 but that's a bit heavy, and there's the v8's but they're a much harder conversion i.e. much more custom bits needed and harder to source a manual donor.
