So my old daily a 99' 318i 1.9 has been for sale for a while, I never really wanted to sell it in the first place even though it had it's issues and it was terrible on petrol I do like it. I upgraded to a 04' 320d auto touring with a decent amount of spec. It's quick enough and does the job as a daily. However, I do miss the old 318i.
So here's the idea, put a turbo on it and use it as a drift car.
I've looked into swapping various engines in and I think the simplest thing is to just turbo the standard engine. The M43 is apparently good up to 8/10 psi standard which is more then I'd push through it. You don't gain a massive amount of power but anything is better than 118bhp (this one probably has 90 left lol).
So, thoughts ?
I've been looking at doing this on the cheap I can get a turbo for around €100 and then intercooler & piping etc a few quid more and just hack it together I have a welder there for all of those bits.
Fun project without a care given is what this really is.
Any ideas on this ?
