E36General discussion and technical help for (E36) 1992-1999 3 series cars. 318, 323, 325, 328.
then why turbo? I mean with a cheap our cars can get to that speed....
Turbo so when I'm cruising along at like 40 and a passenger tries reaching forward to grab something, I can flick my foot forward and pin them against the seat so they can't reach whatever they're trying to get.
Umnitza now provides a mechanic to install all parts ordered right in the box! It's their new "Total customer service program" that will eliminate all the haters and keep incompetents from breaking **** and blaming the vendor! When you are all set simply call INS and they will pick him up free of charge.
you might also try getting some lighter engine parts (pistons, etc.) to use along with the turbo. since a turbo takes time to spool, a lower-inertia engine will get you on that turbo's powerband sooner.
you dont only use 6 speed for higher top speed, komodo
for instance if you are cruising at 70MPH instead of being in 5th, over 3000K RPM, you can be in 6th gear, at i dont know, but maybe 2000RPM and that may save you a lot of gas
and also, it actually makes your car faster, because its not like it has the same gear ratios from 1-5, and just 6 is different, 1st gear - 6th gear are all different, so yes, if you can shift quickly enough it should make your car much faster
EDIT: oh yes, and since you gunna do a tranny swap, you need to replace your differential, and im guessing youd go with the 4:11 or whatever it is, which on a normal e36 tranny youd be 70 at 4K rpm(i think, b/c i know of a car that is like that) and 6 speed would really help there

just a little heads up, if you do that, then that thing that they are trying to reach will also fly back making it much easier for them to get
