Turbo..?

[alphaoenz]

I was wondering how much a turbo plus all the needed accessories (tires, etc.) would be? Im kind of on a budget.. this will go into my soon to be E36 325. Your comments are appreciated.

Thx

Depending on the quality of the turbo you're getting. A good setup intalled with all the necessary accessories would prob. set you around $10k or more.

oh man... for that i would just get a better car

what about a not as good setup... ?

[Baby M3]

Hmmm.. I don't think you want to risk it by buying cheaper turbo kits. A good alternative would be buying used ones. They're usually a few $ks cheaper.
Or go with a supercharger. It's also a few thou. bucks cheapers.

[alphaoenz]

used supercharger eh? alright, thanks for the info man.

[Baby M3]

Yeap. People do sell them once in a while.
You'll find one someday.
Good luck,

Jon

Or $7500 fully installed and street legal instead of $12,000 and not street legal.

That's what I paid.

Dinan's CARB-legal kit has sold recently for $5,500. sweet kit too, and self-installable.

Yeap, but keep in mind that most people don't know how to install a turbo. So you have to include labor cost as well. It's usually around 2-3k or so.

That's a supercharger not a turbocharger kit.

Hey Tong,

If you guys ever come up with a "low pressure" turbo (as the ones Saab use) someday, please let me know.

It would be perfect for my auto. 325. LOL..

Theres two ways I know of that can rehold 300hp @ 7psi w/ur
automatic gearbox. Call my cell now if you want 305-588-2085
or myhouse at 305-823-5698. It's 1050pm here in miami, got home
a while from work.

1st solution. GET a 95 M3 automatic gearbox ZF A5S310Z
2nd solution. Send your autogearbox to http://www.levelten.com

Having a low boost turbo system and you won't be happy. Believe
me. Driving 6psi on E36 m3 sucks. I can't imagine 4-5psi on
2.5l motors

Thanks for the info Tong!

I just called your cell but your voice mail picked up. I left you a message.

I am still in the process of saving up for the turbo but yes, I am definitely interested in buying one as soon as I have enough money.

Please keep me updated.
