    E30 M50 turbo setup, tubular manifold, gt4088 turbo, tial 44

    I have for sale a turbo setup that I built for my car last fall, and never used. I am selling because I got a slightly larger turbo I would like to run and it didn't fit right on the manifold, so I just decided to just make another.

    Turbo is a Garrett GT4088 journal bearing turbo. I bought this used from a guy who was running it on a mustang and it has been sitting on a shelf the entire time I've owned it. The turbine side is a twin scroll t4 with a .94 AR. It originally had an odd size vband similar to a BW turbo, but I modified it to fit a standard 3.5" v-band discharge. The wastegate is a used genuine Tial 44mm v band. I don't remember what spring is in it but I believe it is a 14 lb. The manifold is built out of mandrel bent mild steel tubing with 1.5" diameter primary tubes, 2" secondaries, and merge collectors. It was all mig welded. The wastegate dumps are split with a divider all the way to the wastegate valve. The downpipe is madrel bent 3.5" steel tubing with the wastegate recirculated tangent to the flow.

    As for fitment, you will need to do something slightly different than the normal e30 m50 swap. Most people that do a m50 swap use e36 motor mount arms, which leans the motor at a 31 degree angle. You will need to reuse your original m20 motor mounts. An m50 block allready has all the holes in the correct location for this. The only other modifications needed besided the normal m50 swap stuff is you need to drill and tap a new drain hole the other side of the oil pan since it will lean to the driver side slightly, and you will need to use a manual brake master cylinder, since there will be no room for a brake booster. I made a simple brakcet to mount a dual circuit master to the stock location. Another benefit of doing the swap this way is you can reuse your original transmission, including the mounts, shifter and driveshaft since it all stays in the stock location.

    Price is $1200 firm

      Someone buy this kit! Perry is a top notch guy/ fabricator, machinist, magician etc. Whom ever buys this kit is getting WAY more value than the reasonable price suggests! Buy this kit so perry can finish off his beast!!!!

      FYI- I made 630+ whp with the 4088r @ 21-22psi on 93 Octane. I also trapped 144mph with the 4088. This is by far the best turbo for a turboed E30!

        thanks, Ryan. I can't believe I still have this. Seriously if someone doesn't buy this I'm just gonna sell the turbo and throw the manifold in the dumpster!

                  If the manifold is spoken for, I'd be in for the turbo and downpipe.

                    I'd be intrested in the tial. Shot me PM with price. That is if you decide to separate.
