[livec]

Hi, i'm new here. I need advice on turbocharging my 94 e36 325i. I would like to get around 300- 350bhp when i'm given advice. Thanx in advance.

how big is your wallet mate? i looked at supercharging my 320i, and it was going to cost me about $20,000New Zealand Dollars. Works out at about 13,000USD i think? give or take $1000 or so...

cheaper to buy an engine with a turbo already

Welcome to Bimmerfest :thumbup:

Will cost big bucks my friend, you will have to budget around 50,000-75,000 TTD to do it properly

Holy crap thats a lot. I was quoted $6000 to Turbo my 323i to ad about 100Hp. Possibly more with upgraded cams. Of course I could buy a Cefiro or a Skyline for less than that...

If i had a dime for everyone who asked about turbo-ing their cars....

That was Kiwi dollars mate, I'm in Christchurch.

What kind of power would you get from a supercharger?

Company down here called Auto Passion. I didn't even consider it, cos you could get a turbo MR2 etc for less than that with more power and less weight.

I think I would go with a Supercharger. Better yet, just get a car thats already been turbo/supercharged.
