this is like a proper break down everyone else always just includes motor trans and brakes and wheels and thats it haha

[mjc]

That's really reasonable for the end result. I'd like to see where it goes from here. After seeing it get built and driven I'm kind of invested in it.

Ive had my 325 sitting for 3 years i think this video has got me to pick up the wrench, going in blind

[cjsawinski]

I had an 87 325 sedan in college… always regret selling that thing. It was a bone stock grandma car with a 5 speed… got it in about 2003-2004 for $1, 200 with 120k mikes on it, and it was pretty damn clean!
Now I need to get another one and find e30 guys in Minnesota because I’m no mechanic but wanna wrench and learn…
Also have a 77’ 911 that was my dads that needs a little lovin.

Hoping to do a similar build. Aiming for 300HP and still useful as a daily.

[ZAVEDIZ]

Молодец! Тоже задумываюсь поставить турбо, пока что сменил эбу и всякие датчики

[chrisbarnhart]

love the vibe and journey with the build. its got me soo stoked for my first turbo build. goal is have it started when i make final decision on which of my cars to do first, and finished before my bday dec 10th. tbh i hope i have so much fun that i blow it up on my bday lol 5k isnt bad at all especially when it can be done for easily half that being resourceful like you mentioned.

Awesome video Chris thanks for the break down..also my head is stamped 885. Thanks man.

[goodkarmakz]

Keep loving the E30 it only gets better

[TurbodanNM]

I might have to make one of these videos for my e28. I'm quite certain that I ended up spending more money.

[dankdailyza]

And you must be a big E30 guy for life now🤣🔥 they huge bang for buck I’ve realised💯

[Axiomzzz]

Does anyone know where I can get a decent 885 cyl head? I'm stuck with a 200 with the small inlets and the 3 cam support design and I am NOT loving that. (Upside is the Eta crank)

[paulpateman]

Love the E30 build Chris it’s awesome 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿👍🇬🇧👍

[lilbreezi]

Do you know anything about turboing a m50 I know the block is stronger but would I need to install a forged crack and pistons?

[cainsantacruz]

Wish I can turbo my e28 someday. Just make it a mad drift sleeper

[no_username]

Good vid man . I’m encouraged by you all. Got mine for $800 + $800 back tags in CA but it’s my bone stock daily with minor upgrades/ repairs. Interested in any and all details and advice

[madmike]

Awesome, thanks for sharing this info. This give average price estimates..

[GoofBallGuru]

It's what Turbo M52 swapped E30 cost where I live 😅

[nestorduarte]

No problem with stock ignition coil and wires?

[TheTechy]

i think maxpeeding rods sells coils for the e30 lmao take a look at those
