I'm not going to say much. All I'm saying is this will be a long term process and before I finish it, I'll have done the tranny conversion.

Sounds awesome

Please keep count of how much the tranny conversion cost cause I might want to do it one day.

Wow! Very impressive

make sure you know how to drive stick before you get the turbo installed, aftermarket clutch is a lot harder to drive, well for me..

**Rooz** · 08-02-2005, 08:51 PM

Vroooom psssst....

VROOOOOOOMMMM PSTTTTTTTTTTT

VROOOOOOM BOOOOOOOOOOOOM

But make sure you don't do a half ass job on the Turbo, do it PERFECT from start to finish, don't go cheap on it. If you do it right using like ~30 pounds of boost could make you have +500whp

How do I know, the best friend of a co-worker got a 240sx with I think 32lbs of boost and is putting out ~522whp. But he did it right from the start.

Hold on slick, 30 lbs of boost on a BMW? Are you stupid?

A s13 and any BMW are completely different. Dont look at numbers for a nissan and say they are comparable to a BMW.

For boost i'd say stay under 10 psi to be safe, preferably around 7 psi. If you redo the internals then maybe MAXIMUM push like 14/15 psi.

**Rooz** · 08-02-2005, 10:50 PM

well, I never said to go with 30 pounds of boost on stock, he'd have to re-enforce pretty much everything...

**Hoppy** · 08-02-2005, 10:54 PM

30 psi would reguire a complete engine rebuild. the stock engine cannot take that much pressure. id say stay below 15.

on a side not form what i hear the best stock BMW engine for running big boost is actualy my car and the M30

**Rooz** · 08-02-2005, 10:56 PM

better be safe than sorry, would hate to see him put a Turbo even with like 10 pounds of boost and one day when he's doing about 150 have a cylinder blow up on him.....

**komodo** · 08-02-2005, 11:36 PM

Yes, I'm building it from the ground up with only high quality parts. I'm planning on running on a stock block for a while, but who knows what might come down the road.

Until then I get to look at my BOV as a nice, shiny paperweight... which it does quite well.
