bmw e21 with 745i turbo

charbel · Post by **charbel** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 3:53 pm

so like some of you guys know. i have couple of e21 project cars. i got the turbo car done and it is running very strong.. it is overheating. it might be a blown head gasket but not a big deal. i will get it done soon.

i have tons of money put in this car. today i am finishing the exaust on it and painting the inside same as the outside. i emailed jeron for the color code so i can buy the paint..

anyway. here is some pictures of the car,
singal headlights
mono wiper
17 inch wheels
bilstein shocks and lowering springs
3,91 LSD.
745i euro turbo motor 3.2/3.5
265/ 5 speed manual trans out of a 735i
dash out of nascar and more and more..

and in the end some pictures of my other e21

Hey,

Welcome and a nice collection you have.

Is it possible that I saw your E21 with the 745i turbo engine on Youtube?

Looks and sounds great. Sorry that the headgasket maybe blown. But everything is fixable.

Greetings Peter V.

Great stuff. Is the diff standard E21 sized casing?

thanks guys for the support. jeron emailed me back in like one minute and that was awsome. i went and got the paint...that was like $150 for the 2 quarters. and i bought all the rest of the stuff i need. so i will be painting the car from the inside this week..

car is on youtube.. not a really nice video's yet.. but i am happy so far with the project..

diff still the same. i have 3.91 in it now. not too happy with that. i will be putting a 535 e28 diff in the car this summer.

thanks for the support. i will keep posting updates..

How powerful is that motor? Shame about turbos/exhaust manifolds and steering linkages being on the same side in our RHD cars, that would never go in without a new highly modified manifold, I bet.

toilet paper is for when i take someone with me for a ride he is going to need it..

car i am assuming is putting at least 350hp. now it is overheating so i am taking the engine apart and i am changing the head gasket.. and it might sound stupid but i am trying to add a supercharge on it .. so it will be turbocharged and supercharged.. not sure if that engine will hold all the power.. but i came up with the idea today and i was talking to a friend of mine have a 3.8 ford thumderbored supercharge ..

i want to see how far i can go with this project..

lol no the hand brake not to sit on.. hahaha

i took the seats off and i sold them. they where nice looking but not too confy to drive.. i have another singal seat i am putting in that car after i painted it.. but cause i am repainting the hole inside of the car .. it is not going to have any interior in it at all. just the seats and custom dash

i did my own oil pan cover also.. it looks awsome on that car and i did mono wiper too..

I was just joking with you and the handbrake!!! that oilpan/sump cover, do you have any close up pictures??? looks very good, can you give more information on that??? i wouldnt mind making one like that!!!! with all those bumps around london its rediculous....

that oil pan i did it myself.. just take mesurment and do it.. here is one more picture.. it is easier to see how it is done in this picture..
on the front it will hook to the sway bar bolt and in the rear there is a hole in the side of the subframe. so i just put a bolt there from the inside and that was it.. easy to make just take maybe 2 hours..

cool sump guard!
i was thinking of knocking one up but using the front anti roll bar as the forward mounts using another pair of antiroll bar mounts and turning them upside down. then bolting to the subframe at the back edge.....
atm mines too low to squeeze a guard inbetween the engine and the floor without it catching the floor all the time. needs lifting up a touch first.

dont think the standard final drive and shafts will take anywhere near that sort of power..... mine implodes cv joints at drifting days with standard m20b25 power.
