Complete build review of the turbo setup on my 1991 325iX E30.
Link to spreadsheet that I mention in the video (covers all of the parts that are used in this setup).

Pretty SWEET build. I have an '88 325iX that would be even more fun with some added power. Keep the videos coming... and yes, some take it for a spin videos would be cool! Would be interested in more info on that GM wasted spark conversion too.

Very nice video. I have an M42 powered 318i from 1985 (previous owner had the engine swap done) and while not everything from the video applies to my engine, I find the intercooler placement information very useful as I'd like to keep AC if I turbo my car.

hell yeah I would love to see that sanden compressor setup! I know there are some companies that make sanden kits for rwd e30s but not IX.

A slice between cylinders 3-4 helps with sealing on the manifold. Would you upgrade to a divided manifold? T3 or T4? Taking notes for my m20 turbo as well. Clean build!

@85garage Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I’ve actually got the manifold off the engine at the moment resealing it. I’ll slice the flange between 3-4. I was thinking about doing that but you convinced me. Next I’ll probably fab my own manifold and use a divided T3 or vband flange.

How does the AWD coupling handle the jump in power? ive read quite a bit saying they arnt made to handle anything over stock so curious how yours is holding up

@85garage Жыл бұрын

It’s not the coupling you have to worry about as much as the front differential. I have a couple spare because I was anticipating breaking them. So far nothing has broken and I’m pretty rough on it. Hard launches etc. Besides an upgraded clutch the only other mod I’ve made to the drivetrain is shimming the front driveshaft into the transfer case more using an X5 guibo.

Hello first of all, really nice build. I had a question on how you wired the mac boost controller cause I'm also trying to rum it.

@85garage 4 ай бұрын

Thanks. I just wired it directly to my megasquirt and configured the settings for boost controller. Polarity doesn’t matter on MAC valves.

@alexfabian4244 6 ай бұрын

nice build, ive got a chance to pick up a 325ix here too but a bit worried about reliability of the awd platform... any issues with the transmission/transfercase so far?

@85garage 6 ай бұрын

Not really but I also don’t launch it or clutch dump it. Make sure to use the X5 guibo on the front diff to push the front driveshaft into the transfer case for more spline engagement.

Awesome work!. Can you explain how you wired the wideband? Do you keep the factory o2 sensor? Is the wideband wired to the factory wire harness? Thanks in advanced

Thank you. I am using an Innovate LC2 wideband wired directly to the MS2 with the wiring provided by Innovate.

Servus, ich hätte eine Frage. Ich hab einen e34 525iX. Würde ihn auch gerne auf Turbo umbauen. Finde aber keinerlei Info über das Getriebe. Gibt es ein 6 Gang Getriebe mit Allrad? Das man umbauen kann? Oder kann man das 5 Gang Getriebe länger übersetzen und verstärken? Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland
