Title: Ebay turbo kit?
Post by: Naked Assault Gerble on August 16, 2007, 08:47:14 PM

I was looking into buying this turbo kit from ebay and chopping off the last two pipes on the collector and using it on my 318is and was just wondering if the exhaust ports would line up?

That one wont work, if you plan on doing that you’ll need this one.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E36-M3-323-325-328-T3-T4-TURBO-MANIFOLD-NEW_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem110159323913QQitemZ110159323913

The main thing I was wondering was if the exhaust ports were spaced the same as the m42 changing the flange at the end wouldn't be that big of a deal then I would have a nice equal length manifold with the turbo and all the other bits to go with it for about 1k plus a little bit for altering the manifold.
