I am considering a horsepower modification to my 1988 740 wagon. There is a lot of chatter avout the V8 conversion, but I cannot find much about adding a turbo. Any advice or comments are welcome.
What critical parts will I have to change? (Besides the obvious). Will the compression ratio be a problem? Oil circulation? Engine control systems (computer, iginition) I know I'll need new exhaust, but I do anyway. I am thinking of harvesting a wreck or something, so what do I need to make sure I recover?
V-8 conversion looks like a bigger job, while changing the manifolds and chip should only take a few hours. Let me know what I'm missing. Thanks.
