Turbo is in with 4" exhaust. Photos.

Here are the photos of my turbo install and suspension.

Yes, that is a 4" exhaust. I have yet to install the SMT6 and additional injector. Currently the car is runing 12psi and really pushes you into the seat, but 15psi is where it will be tuned to. :evil:

Let me know what you think.

The wheels are 19". Love them or hate them, it's all good. lol

That thing must be loud..

19" wheels are too big for an E30! Now why do you need a 4" exhaust? I'm shure a 4" down pipe and a 3" exhaust would have been enough.

DanPinder · 05-02-2004, 11:28 PM

That is a matter of opinion. I had 18's and I felt they were too small for an e30. lol

Why not 4"? Turbos love big exhausts.

It is loud.. but not anywhere near as loud as the open downpipe i ran.

It's about as loud as my old B&B Triflow at idle and even quieter at cruise. But when you floor it.. it is VERY loud, especially with the open dump tube.

hey man, nex time I am home I am going to have to come and check out your ride. You'll have to take me for a spin

Do you have any more pics of the car so I can see the 19s better? I saw an e30 M3 with 19s and it looked really good but they have the wide body.

post some side profile pics of your car on the 19"s... i wanna see how they fit..

felixthecat · 05-03-2004, 07:13 AM

isnt this an 'E'????the rad hoses are on the oposite side on an i or is...

Lennon · 05-03-2004, 07:21 AM

Its an E

DanPinder · 05-03-2004, 07:18 PM

It is not an e. There are two rad designs for the m20. One for the 84-87, and one for 88+

If we ran 12psi on an E I think we would be picking up pieces of the bottom end. lol

Thanks everyone! I'll post more pictures later.

the only rad designs there are---318,325 e,325 i or is..john has a first year 325is(87),and i have a 90 is in my car...there the same thing...i just pulled an e motor out of my car and tried to selll my rad to somebody with an i,the water pump in and out holes are in different spots..thats how i know...somebody's lying to ya..thats an e

King Luis · 05-04-2004, 12:08 AM

maybe a e is stronger then you thought????
nice setup btw

Jordan · 05-04-2004, 12:26 AM

It not a e felix, you are talking out of your ass.

By your logic, every 87 and older 325i is actually a e. Don't be a dumbass. All early m20 e30's use the same radiator. 88+ use a different one for the redesigned cooling system.
