Turbo?

[richy1104]

Hi im form the UK and i own an E36 M3 evo. I want to turbo it but parts over here are so expensive its beond a joke. I know the euro engines are different to the ones you guys have but is there anything kits availible in America for the euro engines?

or failing that how hard would it be to fit an American kit to a UK car? i know the your kits are obviously designed for LHD but how hard would it be to make fit a RHD car?


Any help would be apreaciated.

Cheers

I dont see it being a big problem, you dont have to buy a "kit" piece one together yourself buy part by part...

Got an links to some good places i could get the parts from?

ive tried emailing a few American sites, i never seem to get a reply or they simply wont ship over here.

Hmm well as far as shipping goes I dont know what to say about that, I bought my turbo from http://www.full-race.com they know whats going they might even ship to you as well, I hope your planning on going with a GT ball bearing turbo...

Have not even thought about which turbo to go for yet mater, just want to find a place that i can supply the parts for a good price to start with, then go from there.

Il take a look at the link you sent

The Yank turbo kits won't work for RHD cars, the steering rack is in the way. You wouldn't try to make one fit, you'd get a custom job done by somewhere good.

Cheers mater, i know of them already but theres alot of talk over here as to weather what they claim (power figures) is true or not. People have asked for RR print outs before but they never produce them, just feed us with alot of excuses. Must admit their work looks good regardless though.

HE, it not looks onley cool, but is toooooooo mouch money for geting that kind of stuff, iff its for real(da-motosport), my advice:

Iff U know somebody that has made something similar to the things U want than contact him and talk iff he is somwere near, iff it is not a option, than make contact whit the guys that know that material, from your nearby performance shop, your town, region
or something like that....
Talking to right guys may reduct your search for parts needed, to the things that fit your car and budget, depending on the digits that U are willing to spend in the near future !!!
They can give U not onley advices and price-Qality evaluation, but the tips U may need in the future bodging.
Enquieries on the internet may give u many indications where to find that parts, my personal favorites are ActiveAutoverke, from germany, and a litle advice about parts, the most comon performance parts are beter to find in the contry of the car origin, because where they com from there is the earlyest perfomance developing programs started, that beter the qality of finla products!

Do they actually sell this kit in the states?

we have an activeautowerke centre over here called ca-automotive. I dont doubt they are really good at what they do but they are stupidly over priced like most places over here.
