Hi,
I'm driving a 318ci with a 2.0l 4 cylinder, n42 b20 that has that valvetronic. Ive a few mods done to her, intake, exhaust, fully adjustable suspension, z3 rack, short shifter, welded auto diff and well now I wana plant a turbo on the side!
My previous car I was so close to turboing it! I had a 98 corolla! I had turbo, maini , exhaust bits pipes and well I got new job , never got the time was pushed aside and well I lost interest and bought ma bimmer! I done a fair bit of research so I think I have the jist of what I need there's just a few things that are different with the bmw to my corolla
First off as far as Ive seen the n42 could hold a few psi of boost without a rod breaking I'm aiming for 200hp ish.
What I had to do with the corolla was run a piggyback to compensate for the turbo and I was just wondering could a remap on my 318 do the same?!
I know everybody will say just lad in a 3.2 s engine but ill be doing the work with a friend who's a mechanic and I'm a apprentice mechanic at the mo so we have some mechanical knowledge plus ive done all the work to my car id rather only pay some one to map it! ill save on labour doing it this way ive thought of engine conversion just I've gone threw the turbo engine swap dilemma and I want turbo if she blows land in a 2.5
The pipe work and turbo mount with feeds etc is grand can do that, I just cant get my head around the remap or fitting a piggy back?!!? Will the remap fella be able to retard the timing slightly and up the fueling? Will I have to water cool? Or does my engine have a knock sensor thatl cut my engine ? Let me know I'm killing her and work from there ..
I know I've alot of questions etc but I'm not backing down from a turbo project again
Any help is much appreciated, if you've turboed your bimmer be it 4 or 6 cylinder please share your findings
Thanks
Andrew
