www.r3vlimited.com
www.e30tech.com

The m20 is great motor and really loves forced induction. I'd suggest that you read up on both of those websites as they both have turbo e30 threads and faqs.

Good luck with your project!

Isn't turboing a e30 pricey compared to other cars (civic, 240sx, etc)? I always just assumed that, but I've always wanted a turboed e30


good luck on your project if you decide to turbo it, op.

An E30, not really.

But to turbo any of the newer inline-sixes, hellz yes. Kits start for over $6k and skyrocket from there.

I thought 91 was the last year of the E30?

Ahh...that's strange that they continued to produce only certain styles/trims on the E30 chassis, even after going to the E36. Crazy Germans.

I had been limiting my search for an E30 at 1991.
