Hey guys, I have been looking for a turbo or a blower for my E30 325i. So far all the sites I come to only go back to the E36's. If anyone knows of any companies that build kits for the E30's I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

thanks, finally a site that has E30's. You don't happen to know any numbers as far as hp and torque gains do you?

BimmerJim is pushing about 300HP/300TQ on a stock bottom end M20. He built the kit himself. I've heard good things about TCD if you want to go that route, but the price is too steep for most.

i believe the best numbers they made were 293 rwhp and 299 rwtq at 14 psi (?). that thing was pretty quick and it was no where near done when i rode in it. still needs tuning.

Check out www.e30tech.com , most of the turbocharged e30s are on that site... even mine.

There are a couple of places that do kits and some do parts as well if you want to DIY.

Yea, I'm interested in this as well.
I looked at TCD and their S1 is $3875, S2 is $5125. This is kind of pricey for me.
What I'm looking for is maybe 200-225hp. I'd like to keep the stock motor, gearbox, clutch, diff, etc and have them stay alive.
What is the best power I could hope for in such a setup and would $1500-2000 be enough to build it diy?

$2000 will get you 300hp no problem DIY. Ask at e30tech.com
Oh thanks :) . The FAQ is answering a lot of my questions: http://www.e30tech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3318.

Schneller Motorsports makes a paxton sc kit rated at 240 horswepower, dunno if flywheel or whp (6 psi, so prob flywheel). I've never heard of anyone using their kit, but their site is www.machschnell.com
