1992 525it with an M30B35 Swap
-
So. How much would you sell it for? And hint, the answer is not "I don't want to sell it"
Not fo' sale
I got this thing for a steal considering I bought my e30 for $1400
-
I hate you... and Yes I completely understand the steal. Just not fair
You could always swap your own!
I looked it up however and the swap seems very daunting. It's a difficult swap for sure.

I do want to turbo it eventually but I wont have any of the funds soon enough unless I sell my daily driver
-
Hodge podge turbo builds are cool, if done on a car that no one gives 2 fucks about. but as a daily as well as a touring, I'd suggest going a legit build, if he were to even go turbo route.
Also, double check it's a B35 head. Could be a B34, not a biggie, but that little bit would go a long way!
BUllllllllshit. Anything smaller than an hx40 and you would have full boost..... alll the time. I don't believe in turbo's in a daily that spool before 3500. Its just ridiculous.
cxracing intercoolers have definitely been proven many many times, and there is no need for a 1000$ intercooler when you have a stock block.
And you think I can't design a manifold? I wouldn't need to. Just copy a simple design. Sure I probably couldn't build the best twin scroll equal length manifold, but shit I have all the tools and materials to build a m30 manifold right now.
Why else would I have bought a brand new tig welder?
Just because it's a wagon doesn't mean it won't be garage queening it up!
I have my trusty toyota corolla as a daily driver
Personally I would most likely run an HX35 for my setup?

Build me a manifold and it'll be turboed sooner than later

Lovin the yellow zip ties on the radiator!
Hahaha! it's really the only "janky" thing i've noticed thus far. I figure ill get upper rad mounts sooner or later but the zipties seem to be working great!

Man the hx35 is such a baby turbo.. You would only be good for around 350wheel without ripping into the motor. Spool would be god damn instant.
sk8 or die

HX35 is pretty phat! I could run either I guess (HX35 or HX40). But I'm almost certain the HX35 is good up to 500whp?
-
Lets hear it!!
i'll take a video for you later!
-
oh even about that. I'm saying you cant run that high of boost levels without digging into the block.
You can run 500whp on an M30b35. MLS gasket; arp studs and your pretty good!
