My friend's hybrid BMW 318i
Don't know if I have posted these pics up before 
These pics taken from the final stages of completion. Intercooler has been remounted since this picture and had one of the sides swapped upside down so that it looks a bit more "neater" at the front. Had it tuned on the dyno, and got 330HP at the wheels with a Greddy TD06-20G, Link ECU, and 12psi of boost
This thing is fast.. once it gains traction and the body (and all the weight) of the car starts picking up momentum, it slaughters my integra in 3rd gear - makes me want to cry everytime it happens
Oh yeah, its powered by a Nissan SR20-DET taken straight out of a S14 Silvia
I love thailand

It is a great swap and all props to the owner,
though why did he choose that engine? did he want to be different a challenege or something, I mean he could of done the latest M3 engine? I am sure if he has the money to do a SR20 swap on a BMW he could afford the M3? how does it handle now and drive, I assume the engine is heavier than the Bimmer, also I think that the tach needs to be placed some where else, just my opinon.

Kinda defeats the purpose of owning a BMW...No disrespect meant whatsoever, but if I saw someone driving that stateside, regardless of the turbo, I'd laugh. Just like when I see some 18yr. old kid driving a new CLK with cheesy Tenzo race seats and chickenwire grill. (Which I saw 3 days ago)

You're not going to impress anyone with a lowly 318 anyways, so why not make it fast?
Oh, and M3 engines are expensive as hell over there (or anything Euro).
