318 Turbo

Hows it going. I have a 318 w/ a Mosselman turbo. 6 or 7 lbs of boost is reccomended but with a blow-off valve you can get more.

Re: max boost on 318 m42?

i have a mosselman kit on my 318is, but have had the pistons, rods, a bigger turbo and alot of other mods to it. i ran 8 pounds with my engine and the turbokit stock, which is pushing it, but i did it for a couple months

Thumbs up Re: max boost on 318 m42?

The max boost you can have on a stock bmw motor is 11lbs of boost.
More than 11lbs you will have trouble trust me, unless you have the motor rebuilt. My friend had an old skool honda crx and had a 14lbs boost on it an the engine blew and the pistons drop to the oil pan.
