M60/62 Turbo kit....in the works

[TSI]

Ahhhhhh I gotcha, do you have a m60 e30?

My buddy is building one, we've explored the same idea. Even in my E39, the M62 is a tight fit.

Well I feel like it will be all should be okay

If you can close your hood then everything will fit

M60/62 Turbo kit....in the works

I built my M60 E30 and I can tell you that with the pipeline your are making there's no way it will fit. You might be able to fit a small turbo on the passenger side but you can forget on the drivers side. Turbo setups have been done in the past but this engine will run much better with a SC set up and will be a lot more reliable too.

Turn the heads around and make it a hot vee engine. Turbo is in the valley, problem solved!

I can snap some photos tomorrow in the light of what kid of room you are going to be working with.

might have to box some frame rail no matter what.

[driftingminor913]

Okay thanks alot

[driftingminor913]

Someone should do me a huge favor n measure from rail to rail in there e30 for me? Cause I think i simplified the solution

[LoneWolf]

Snapped some photos. Keep in mind may radiatior isn't in place. That's going to eat up space in front of the engine.

About 3.5" from top of the exhaust port to the grain rail. Should mean you can't go beyond that distance away from the engine on a line parrellel to the ground.


It's the same thing on the drivers side.


Took a shot of the front passenger area, just holding up the tape so you have something to scale roughly.


Here is a shot down the passenger side.


Frame rails at the front measured a little over 27"

Okay cool thanks, I made some adjustments to the manifold on the passenger side, doesn't look as cool but will function the same which is what matter and its a lot closer to the head n so is the piping to the collector

[driftingminor913]

Taught the miss how to do some TIG welding, not bad for her first time.

BUT back to business had to change up on the manifold

[driftingminor913]

But I put my measuring tape up just to show how much you have near the frame rails. N I got rid of the big loop pipe to make it close to the head. I tested fitted in my car n the area where the washer fluid was it fit the turbo just fine.

cool looking manifold:devil:
