Bmw E36 Turbo questions

mestew87 · Post by **mestew87** » 13 Feb 2006, 14:41

Hi firstly i will apologize for posting in english and secondly sorry if i have placed this topic in the wrong place.

I am currently looking to buy either a 325 or 328 coupe and wanting to turbo it. The power output i would be looking/hoping for would be around 400-500bhp. What sort of prices would i be expecting to pay for a turbo system like this and what parts would i need to get?

Thank you
Michael

I'm guessing that it should work fine on a 328 aswell

How much power would you expect from a 325 with turbo kit. Is there any video's of one on here

The software is made for 325 VANOS so it will not work on a 328.
The engineblock is also made of aluminium on the 328, which doesn't hold up to 400bhp.
I'm not sure but I think I've read somewhere that the block is all-aluminium on the 325 too in the USA. Where are you from?

LMM --> Air mass meter, AMM

Would it be possible to map the car using a MAP sensor instead of the AFM ?

No. Not without changing the engine management system to an aftermarket.

The turbokit Peppe discribed is a "bolt-on"-kit that includes a larger Air Mass Meter (AMM) and the chip included in the kit is programmed specially for it.
