Long time builder here...owned/operated chassis dyno/fabrication shop, did mostly one off forced induction builds....I really like this build. It's executed well for the investment and really created a nice package. Well done and well put together for something that a lot of people can attain and build without a crazy investment.
One important thing a lot of people forget about is power to weight Ratio. With a build like this where the power to weight Ratio is perfect low horse power is super fun
Juan Colon you don’t need more than 2k to properly turbo an m20😂😂😂what the hell. He said he has an eBay turbo/kit. Which is about 500 depending on a few things and DME(engine management) you can use a stock dme with a access port like i am or megasquirt is $800 and that’s it.
i can relate, my father also got me into this bmw obsession. my first car i ever drove was his E32 750 with a dinan chip pushing 300 hp, i crashed it pretty quickly trying to corner a 4000 lb car
I was a BMW tech back in the late 80's to early 90's. I loved the E30. SOOOO easy to work on. Back then they were still $10K which was out of my range as a young lad. Hell they're still pretty expensive but one of these days I will find one to fix up. You've done some great work. Where did you get the turbo exhaust manifold?
I love the way you make your videos its seriously perfect to get a look at everything a viewer would want to see when clicking on a video!! The best car channel hands down!! And his car is fkn tough i love the build its something different and 100% entertaining to watch so hats off to him building it its got Australias approval i love it. Keep up the videos like this my man they are too good!
Should also mention I have an e30 I'm resto-ing now, it was also my first car, though the one I have is the original one I sold and got back. I also have my Evo 4 over at English right now getting built, aiming for 600whp on e85.
"yUo GeT whAt yOu paY fOR" - the mantra sung by everyone who pays retail for "brand name" EVERYTHING (odds are it's eBay stuff, rebadged and then resold at a 2x markup with a "warranty", which they can afford to do since it's so marked up) and/or thinks it makes them cooler to overpay vs finding deals. Stock engine, $800 eBay turbo kit...fucking shit up. Awesome!! I've got a turbo K24 swapped MR2 running an eBay turbo as well, low boost of 15psi @ 424rwhp. I'm torn between turboing our mostly stock E30 325iS or K swapping it since stock $600 K20A2/K24A2's are safe to like 600hp vs having to spend $2k to rebuild the M20. Decisions decisions...
The majority of you're paying for is the r&d, marketing, and stock holders. The Chinese get don't have to worry about any of that stuff so they copy it with inferior metals and sell it for 1/5th the price.
@@Jamxknife Ahh, I forgot about all those suffering stock holders who need to charge 5x what something's worth. Funny thing is I've NEVER met a struggling stock holder but I've seen plenty of people who don't buy parts because they can't afford them. Oh, and don't fool yourself...their stuff is still made in China...throwing on some clear coat and/or laset etching a logo doesn't make it better except to the naked eye. China it is!!
Watching this for the tenth time, thinking bout doing this to my e30, and had to start dwling when I heard the "PU$$YCLAAT, YO" @4:09. 🤣 😂 real yaadman dat in the background!
I’m going with the plug and play mega squirt as well seems like the easy solution with bigger injectors also I’m wondering if there’s a way to change the ignition system so it’s tuneable
That shot with his father was the best clip of the entire episode 👌❗️
He was just chillin. Im guessing hes useto flying
Thought the same.

I don’t want it to be an expensive hobby......best lie ever told lol
BLAKE DA GREAT his dashboard costs 1200$ base 😂
Compared to how much is cost to build an evo.......This is nothing and he knows that, thats why he said it.
@@Jamxknife an eveo with just antilag and abit more boost would smoke this
Alec Shrad exactly lol
on project cars the budget is atleast double compared to what it should have been
"nothing crazy, I don't want it to be an expensive hobby" meanwhile has a 900 hp evo and a beautiful turbo e30 that's about to get a built motor
Ethan Semelsberger what’s the Instagram?
Ethan Semelsberger can certainly be a hell of a lot more expensive and no where near as fast in all honesty
@denzel edward it's builtforthestreets
One important thing a lot of people forget about is power to weight Ratio. With a build like this where the power to weight Ratio is perfect low horse power is super fun
and it doesn't break as much with less overall power and weight.
That's awesome . My dad refuses to go into my car after the last drive . Your dad took it like a champ.
m20 turbo!! yesssss. I am so glad to hear you are sticking with an m20 for the build. Funny how they still pull on those 24v swaps huh.
Honestly, one of the cleanest E30s that I have ever seen.
You haven’t seen many then
E30 things, oddly enough. I know this gentleman from IG. For his E30 and not the EVO.
Welcome To The Madness what’s his ig?
Isaiah Thomas ig:builtforthestreets
i need your help with my e30 once i get one lol
150$ turbo on top of a couple thousand dollars of technology to make it all work.
It works without the turbo and those thousands...but with that beats a current M4 with 540 hp...a 1990 car :)
LP Vin-ill what?
LP Vin-ill The M4 base does not have 540 hp. I would easily beat this guy in my tuned M4.
Sebastian D. That m4 didn’t cost you just over 10k tho 🤭
@@jim3369 e30s are expensive lmao
I dont know how many times I watched this video from when it was released. This is how I want to build mine. The car is perfect in my eyes
Great build that always make you wonder, how much do I really need?
for that build arround 20k easy
@@juancolon9102 lmao 20k but he's on jnc wheels? D O U B T

Joshua Duarte 10k or less. he even ways it in the video.
Well bought my first E30 (3/31/1990) It will hold 500 on the lower end so 400 with a 100 hp margin that's a daily today.. LOVE the job keep it up....
The words budget and build should never be used in a sentence.
So beautiful story and the video with his dad was gold
Now This Is AWESOME. I Love Budget Cars Takin' Out Cars TWICE The Price This Is Quality Content TRC. Great Job!
You made an automotive piece of art. Beautiful. Crazy it performs so well. I always wanted an E30. Really nice seeing someone do it so well.
i can relate, my father also got me into this bmw obsession. my first car i ever drove was his E32 750 with a dinan chip pushing 300 hp, i crashed it pretty quickly trying to corner a 4000 lb car
His dad loved it haha i take my dad out in my 850hp gen2 viper and he freaks out but when he drives it lol he doesnt let off
850 hp gen2? your dad has a death wish lol
Emir A. We just have the need for speed 👍🏻
TimothyReidUpNorth907 who hurt you bro
@TimothyReidUpNorth907 maybe ur too broke to ever afford that in your life but not everyone is a bum like you
Love the oldschool build, badass. Id daily this car anyday. 👍🏻
Beautiful example of a 90s classic 💯
If that black car runs the intersection.... Game over for him and the chick
Yeah. Sad part is it happens A LOT.
Yep, trees, poles, pylons, sidestreets, other cars. These are NOT the places to be playing Ricky Racer.
Glad to know you are remembering your dad, great build bro💪

3:29 I was just finna say that’s the guy with the red evo cool dude 🙏🏾👌🏾💯 super nice choice of cars bro
Building an "affordable" 600 hp turbo e30 is a true art in it's own. Lol. 2.9 stroker motor.... so dope dude..
I'm a simple man, I see English Racing Merch on someone I like the video.
Should also mention I have an e30 I'm resto-ing now, it was also my first car, though the one I have is the original one I sold and got back. I also have my Evo 4 over at English right now getting built, aiming for 600whp on e85.
That car is built soo nicely! Good job !
Father and dad part is the best part of this video 🙏
Now I miss my zinnober red e30 even more. Love the build
When I see Gordon’s e30 or evo x on TRC I click like 👍🏻
Hell year awesome build. I really dig his lanyard.
We sell the key tag on our website 😁🤘🏻

cool video guys! that BMW body shape is really cool and i bet the turbo makes it heaps of fun
nice clean z32
If the wheels have 4 studs then you know it's a sick car
What? Really?!
Thought this was A-Train from "The Boyz" for a second 😅
Best comment haha
THATS WHO I KEPT THINKING OF BUT COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT HAHAH
What exhaust setup does it have? I want my turbo e30 to be this quiet but it seems like people always recommend 3" single pipes
It is an EXPENSIVE hobby
That E30 sounds vicious.
Definitely sounds like a 150 dollsr turbo when he revs it and gets on boost. Chatter for daaaays
Damn them no lift shifts hit different
That's craig transformation, keeping simply and natural beauti.. Nice
Wow! Our e30 project car will be different. But yours is really cool 😍👌🏻
Would be great if the was a build item list. Have a e30 and would love to turbo it.
Clean AF!
E30 ftw! The E30 M3 is my dream car.
9:20 ... Noooo Monicaaa

Stock e30 trans

It must be nice to live like that..
it's nice to hear a car that isn't exclusively loud exhaust noises
So clean. Nice shifting.
Beautiful E 30 and rooouuttyyy
E30s and that power to weight is OP
This the type of car guy I really like
Real nice work, big up yourself 💯 👍
in all my wet dreams a saw e30 just like this :D nice work guys
Building an E30 right now, can’t wait to finally have it on the road and haul some ass
please please which program is that shown on the screen at 05:11 ? thanks a lot
Nice repaint 😍
Mad respect ✊🏾
A Bavarian redhead that can Sing AND Dance. Sign me up!
E30s should have had boost from the factory, personal opinion.
Holy shit that color is gorgeous.
Nice ride. Big like.

I aspire to hve builds like this dude💯😂
God I wish we could do this kind of things in Spain, EU regulations are trash. Awesome video guys!
Just do it :p isn't modifying your car allowed in Spain?
i hate adjusting the rockers too, but they should definitely get adjusted when making that much power. lmao
This man is a G.
Dope vid 🔥🔥🔥
I want to know what is the entry sound starting at 0:18? Great build BMW tho. Love the looks! Good job!🤤
Anybody know the rear wheel offsets? Im thinking like et20 but I cant find info on that anywhere
This man knows his shit
Is it even possible to put the word turbo build and budget into you sentence asking for a friend 😁
This video is proof of such, what more do you need?
there is 3 options you get when building a car: cheap, reliable, and fast. you can only have 2 out of the 3 options
