hello to everyone
im a huge fan of this Forced Induction section

Im building a 1994 325i
currently it has a 1995 s50 with rogue pulleys, fdm,intake and new coils
this is my project car




it going to be custom wide body with alot of carbon
i just finished my suspension set up (TEIN SS coil over, TMS sways, aluminum control arms, all poly urethane bushings dinan strut braces x brace kmac camber kit.)
while the car is in the shop i want to build the power plant
but I don’t know with what to start with
an m50 non vanos
a m50 w/ vanos
a s50
im going to rebuild the top end and refresh most of it
lower compression H/G, cams
springs retainers whole valve train (maybe titanium)
i don’t know what compressor to use
GT35R
GT40r
Persion?
also what pistons and arms
JE

i want a bottom mount so my engine bay is clean (fully wire tuck)
i want a built proof reliable motor set up and i want to get around 600- 700 hp
help, advice and suggestions would be great
thanks Johnny

M52, machine it for 11 or 12mm studs, MLS .140, 40R. Have a nice day and good luck!

i did alot of deletes (ac,cruse control,wipe wash),then oped the harness up and pulled all the connectors back through the fire wall and tucked the headlight wiring and all other wires into the radiator support its pretty easy to do when the whole front end is off and for the motor build i have two different shops that my friends own with lifts dyno jets all hydrulic presses and welders all the snap on and bmw tools i need and tech help too!

Careful when shaving the bay on these cars - it's a lot harder on these cars because BMW uses so many grounds - be sure to make GOOD ground connections.

CP Pistons, Arrow rods, ARP main studs and head studs...
u can buy almost everything u need at VAC Motorsports.com
I would wait for the new Extreme Motorsports manifold..

What's the car going to be used for? Daily driver? Road racer?

If you're going with a built motor you don't need a lower CR HG. You should use pistons to lower the CR. CP are my pistons of choice, Pauter Rods, and Ferrea head components.

600-700 at the wheels on pump gas?

I would recommend a PT-67DBB
