1987 325e. Eventually Boost+M50 Swap
-
I'm planning on eventually swapping a 325i head onto the ETA block with a new headgasket and then getting ARP studs. Then snailtime. The stock internals and lowered compression ratio of the 2.7i should be able to handle 400whp. And it will be cheap! I also want to maybe swap in some E36 m3 "sand beige" vader seats. However I don't know if they will match my "sand beige" backseat. If you have any information on this; chime in!
Edit:
No... No i'm not. M50 swap!

I really want to convert to the plastic bumpers on the later model E30's,
Although a tuck would be nice to do in the meantime

Either way. For 1400. You can't beat that.

Im really glad I snagged it when I did; too bad I don't have your number, I would've hit you up while I was still in Eau Claire for a cruise!

What is your timeframe/budget for the turbo stuff
I want to keep the turbo as cheap as possible. And i'm not sure about the timeframe for it. However as money comes in things will progress. However; I do want to do the 2.7i swap immedietly since it is cheap. I just need a 325i head and 325i electronics and some miscellaneous goodies and I should be all set. Not sure if I want to do anything to the 325i head before I put it on either. ofcourse I could probably source a lower mileage m20 longblock (325i) and just swap that in however I don't think I'll benefit as much from it.
Edit:
M50 swap!

I no longer deal with Brian; bad past expierience
However, The hx35 (or Hx1c) is what I would most likely run

a non intercooled 4psi setup would be sick
But it'd only make 150 to the wheel
