Iv looked around and couldn't find anything conclusive. Ive been looking into turboing the 318is and want to keep it relatively cheap, I know rapid spool makes a turbo manifold for the e30 m42 but it is quite pricey. iv seen they make kits for the e36 318's, I know they will bolt up as far as on the engine goes but engine bay wise does anyone know if the e36 m42 manifold will fit in the engine bay, has anyone tried? i mean Iv never compared the two to see how similar they are.
No way one manifold would fit both. The shock towers and frame rails are in completely different locations.
Oh and swap an M50 and turbo that.
