[BrabusTKR]

lol do you have an lsd?

[thingk89]

@BrabusTKR That was with an open diff

[BrabusTKR]

@thingk89 yeah i could tell

[flikkerpoes]

omg what an peace of heaven

[bkoreo]

what year is this? and what turbo kit, any info on the setup? thanks.

[thingk89]

@bkoreo Its a 92. My turbo kit with the treadstone cast manifold, GT30 70r ball bearing turbo?, 3 inch turbo back at the time of the video it wasn't finished being tuned but in the end made 310rwhp I think. and was detuned to 290 for daily driving.

@thingk89 Is that an m50 non vanos or is it tuned for vanos? I have a 92 325is as well and was looking toward rebuilding another non-vanos m50 engine for boost. Any recommendations? I want to build it right the first time and not waste any extra time or money. It will definitely be street driven.

[thingk89]

@TheBimmerzrule non vanos motor. do a cometic thick metal head gasket, arp studs, port the head and rebuild the motor to stock specs. replace the clutch with a e46 m3 flywheel, pressure plate, e36 clutch plate, top mount manifold. gt 30 turbo (larger turbine housing) miller war chip (they do custom software and make it so you can eventually tune it yourself)

Clean Definitely a Nice specimen of a well done 325i. Not a fan of that exhaust But hell. Whatever works right?

[dman51590]

thats a turbo is isnt it ? no 325i w/two doors

[thingk89]

What do you mean?

[templarjay]

how many miles it got? and how long do you expect it to run for? just wondering how turbos affect the life of the engine, if at all...

[thingk89]

I sold the car about 2 months ago with 165,000 miles or so. It was making double the original power and stilll running good. I still see the car driving around all the ttime and it is running the same, so I would say it will last probly 20,000miles at least (with proper treatment) The turbo itself doesntaffect the life of the motor, just the additional abuse of boost

[kcole939]

That beast has a nice German accent. Lol..

[thingk89]

I think you were being sarcastic? ( bov exhaust intercooler all look a little jdm) I just sold the car it is now running 10psi boost and just rips!

[kcole939]

I was actually complimenting your car. On some bimmer forums, you'll commonly hear them talking about the "german accent" a certain exhaust gives it.

[thingk89]

All the guys from the forums love it in picture and in real, but alot of people say that it looks a little jdm..... Thanks for the compliment !!!

[animosity667]

aw man your treating my car like poo

[thingk89]

When you are rich like me you just don't care! just kidding. I built this car myself and I am not pushing it that hard especially in this vid, only running 5.5psi and reving to 5000 rpm. A lot of this is 1/2 throttle. Now (4 months later) I am running 10psi and reving to 6500 (this car is a stock honda compared to what it is now hahaha)

[j45007]

another cool car!

[thingk89]

Haha I didn't know what you ment at first! The coolest one is the bmw 5 series, I will have more videos of that one in the summer> this 325 turbo is just my daily driver

[thingk89]

song is called Deadmau5 - Not Exactly

[thingk89]

Thanks man, It will be faster this summer!

[GroundSwellCinema]

Are you using the stock DME with a calibration on it or some other managment system?

[thingk89]

Stock DME, tuned to 6500 rpm at 5.5-6.0psi (0.5bar i think) there is just someting messed up because we can't tune it passed 5500rpm in the full throtle maps... but it pulls hard to 6500 if you ease into it. I am swaping to a newer ecu though so hopfully that will fix things...

[thingk89]

Thanks man ,I think it sounds best at 1:30 when the turbo spools down.

[noodledsoup]

Car is sick, deadmau5 is sick. Good video.
