Hey guys, newbbie here.

Well i made the switch from acura to BMW and now im ready to begin building my monster, but i have been running into a few problems. I had a turbo integra GS-R and now i have a 2001 Z3 3.0 coupe. I cant find anything for it in the way of exhaust but i have just begun to chip away at the ice. Now i see that turbos on BMW isnt all to rare so i was wondering if i can use my 18G turbo on my z3. i know i would have to make a custom manifold but does anyone know if it is even possible, or better yet practical. Also, why is the aftermarket support for my car so small, did i get a bad choice? And also, im in Tampa, Fl so if anyone knows of any good shops for BMW stuff drop me a line, id love to know. Thanks

JJ

i would think that it would probably work, but ya, u would have to get a new manifold and stuff towards that field(exhaust). and u would need a new intercooler.

1.) welcome to the boards, good to have another FLA car here.
2.) Check with HMS Motorsport, they do alot of Z3 stuff.
3.) for the turbo information I am not the best source so I will let others help out.

Z3 Coupe is a good chioce in car you did not make a bad choice.

here is something to give you some incentive (or make you cry
