Hey guys,
I was wondering who makes a turbo kit for the 3.2l Euro motor? I am looking to upgrade my euro with a turbo, but dont know where to turn. Any suggestions?

Post pics of your car, specifically the engine. I have difficulties believing.

I will post pictures in a couple of days when I get the engine harness on the Euro lined up with the US harness. I think I may have a pic or two of the car in the conversion process. I will have to look. Oh, and I am doing the swap MYSELF.

How wude of you. I may me posting off a Pentium 166 and drive a Chevel, but at least I know euro 3.2's dont come in GT M3's and nobody is dumb enough to do a drop in one since its so blasted simple to get power from the 3.0. Oh and I have a DVD player, WITH a remote control!

I apologize,but I thought U were attacking me to instigate a conflict. I will edit my previous statement regarding your financial situation. About my M3 GT, I no longer have that car. I will post pics of the Motor and car.

You getting lippy about the Chevelle -learn to spell it you bumhugger-???

Do I need to have a few friends come over and shouw you wha 400+ ft/lbs can do to your precios BMW in a real drag race?

Go back to watching all your vivid DVDs and leave the wrenches to the people who want to use them.

Hey bud.....I don't think anybody has tackled turbochargers for the euro motor yet.....do a search for it and see what you come up with?!?!As for Portal....christ, nobody likes that guy anyway, dont let him bother you.....It is quite believable that you have a euro powered M. There are quite a few around....if ya have the 8k for the motor and you diy, your set......I wish i had done it....i spent 7400 getting my us 3.2 installed and everything.....once i realized how easy it was i felt like a retard for not spending the dough on a euro......keep us posted pal!!

MM Tuning should take the GT M3 out of his profile. A GT with a 3.2 would be hard to believe. I dont doubt anyone having a euro motor in a car, nothing hard to believe about that.

a guy by the name of sc5_charles i believe has a euro 3.2 turbo in his 5 series. it is putting down 510 hp at the ground on 12 lbs. the turbo set up was done by aa and it is totally custom. as for the motor, i think it is fully built. call karl at aa and talk to him about it.

I have a euro 3,2 M3 and live in Turkey. My car is supercharged and I suggest you stay away from a turbo system.

Stay away from a turbo. When you use a supercharger from ASA you see that at 1500 rpm there is bloody much torque. ASA's blowers are so good torqu producers and you never feel a turbo lag. Plus you keep under hood temps cool and do not have to cool the intake charge as much as when you have tc system.

I have two different systems:
1- a vortech T trim capable of blowing 1200 cfm and

2- a ASA (GERMAN EXCELLENT TUNER) 1200 cfm blower.

I have approx. 600 hp and 520 lb/ft of torque with ASA 's blower and 550 hp hp and 400 lb/ft of torque with the Vortech's blower.

I designed my own system and have pics if you pmail I ll send my engine's layout.

ASA blows 16 psi and Vortech does the same.

But ASA blows at 3000 rpm 11 psi whereas Vortech sleeps till 6000 rpm.

My redline is 8200 rpm.

From 62 mph to 125 mph it takes 6,8 seconds with the ASA's supercharger and the same interval takes 8,4 seconds with the t trim vortech.

Vortech has less torque, consumes more power from the crank.

Anyhow, I have forged pistons, custom inlet manfold, custom intercooler, map sensor, unichip software, 2 fuel pumps, and many parts. It took me 3,5 years to complete the system.

I started with a basic kit that made 380 hp from ASA. Now, I design my own kits.

If you are serious enough, come over here I ll show you my car, test drive it, and help you to collect the parts.

my baby kills any Mercedes SL AMG 55, Modena Ferrari, Diablo...

It is so much fun.
