another 325i turbo I installed VEMS on
« on: July 11, 2008, 04:11:43 pm »
It´s running the exact same setup as the red one.
apart from running a 4,1 or a 3,91 diff, which doesn´t suit AT ALL now.

It´s having some leak problems and will be sorted soon, it´s running 0,7bar at the moment.
Will recieve the same level as the red car when it´s sorted using boost control.

some pics, it´s HOT!!

He´s replacing the HX35 for a HX30 as his desired power level is not that high and he favours
low end boost.

Why not replace with an HY35W?  The 9cm turbine housing would spool lightning fast and still have the higher capability of the larger compressor.

He got a HX30 for $200 so hard to say now.

We also don´t have junkyards with these in so it´s all ebay bought anyway.

You should definitely take a look at that forum.
It is the one stop for information about E30 turboing.
