yeah right, just adding diff suspension compenents won't make a big box of a car handle better than a little sporty one. or i'd like to see it :)

Re:bmw 325i homemade turbo..............
 

ya but it will make it much better than it was. I consider old mustangs to handle like ---- as my freinds 92 mustang does...but there is a full suspension kit that can make his mustang pull 2gs on the skidpad!! That is taking a shitty mustang and making it handle nice although skidpad is in no way the absolute judgement of handleing..by a long shot.Course this suspension is well into 2 grand if i remeber correctly.

ok boys what turbo would be the best for this job?...see i m running a turbo off a mx6 ,and i can get my hands on another ....would that be any good?..........we were checking out his engine bay and there isn't a hole lot of room...........we were also looking into a supercharger kit but they wanted like 6000, way to much .so i think the best way is a home turbo

Re:bmw 325i homemade turbo..............
 

if you want to go supercharger your best bet is get a used vortech from a 5.0 mustang guy. I talked my friend into buying a vortech for his mustang. Vortechs are centrifugal superchargers ..in other words they are turbos with a pulley on the exhaust side. If you want to go turbo the best turbo is what ever you can get your hands on but I would say try to get a turbo off a manual 86-89 t-bird. Those are pretty big turbos.Also you could try getting a tdo5 turbo off a talon or eclipse look at the threads that identify what turbos come on what cars.

themore info the better

Re:bmw 325i homemade turbo..............
 

I jsut realized i answered your post on the mazda turbo. that is probably a little bit small of a turbo for the inline 6 but it is your call.It would spool real fast.

A buddy of mine just put a turbo on his 87 325is and it's nice. I'm trying to find his site to post some of his pics. I'll add it when I find them. He's got a nice setup and it's a lot of home made stuff.

take a look at the active autowerks kit for the m3, and try to copy their parts list. they dump out 408 whp, and the parts they use scream price mark up beacuse of the bmw name. their fuel management is like an fmu or something. if our machinist can cram a 383 stroker in his 89 325, why not a turbo in the 94? :)

Re:bmw 325i homemade turbo..............
 

the autowerks kit comes with a TD06 turbo...what would that come off of?

Re:bmw 325i homemade turbo..............
 

oh yeah.....what kind of boost do u guys think a stock 325i can handle?
