Turbo manifold

here's a lil vid from the 1/8 mile.

Oh, how I love the know-it-alls... Do you remember what they say about opinions?

First off, for your information, I am NOT going turbo unless I fail to reach my power goals with the supercharger and after I do an assessment.This has been clearly stated. The car is not being all torn apart, its getting a headgasket, cams and a head installed.

The S52 is going in regardless of SC or TC since I will be building a forged bottom end to ensure engine longevity. This has been clearly stated yet again BTW. I guess you must have missed that, I understand... it happens when your trying to be an ass for no reason.

Have fun with your lulz, really... have fun.

I would love to see more pics of your build BTW because from what I have seen so far, you have no room to LOL about anything pal.

if you are going to build a bottom end, i suggest staying with either a 84.5mm or 85mm bore. this will help keep more material between the cylinders and enable the headgasket to have more surface area for sealing. most built, high horsepower, boosted engines are done this way. s50/52 guys tend to go through headgaskets alot faster.

ah, 15" wheel, 3.73's with a 5 speed? I would imagine its difficult to get out of the whole even though a 2.088 is really not that bad especially for your first time at the track with the car. I have seen the e36, e39 and e46 chassis do far worse with similar whp.

I bet you could still get it a bit lower with the current tires but DR's are sketchy and really help break things like axles. E85, yikes.... theirs a good bit more power.

Please keep me informed, I am very interested in seeing how much quicker you can go. Oh what size slicks are you going with?

Slicks are 24.5x8x15

3.73lsd diff. 60ft can get lower with slicks, it was my first time at the rack with this setup.
I'm adding a 2nd Bosch 044 pump to feed it more fuel (E85) then off to the 1/4 mile with the slicks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Was the 2.088 your best 60ft? Do you think you could get it lower? What gear ratio are you running?

Hey man,

can you post your time sip? If not can you post or PM your 60ft, tire size, temps, ET and trap speed?

Thanks man!

Here's an 1/8 mile time. spinning in 1st & 2nd with 225/50/15 M/T drag radials. Temp was around 90*.

reaction- .717
60ft - 2.088
Trap- 99.5
Elapsed time- 7.853

Dss?

[rneedham1979]

I will let you know what half shaft I go with. I am currently waiting for an email on price.

What is the "upgrade" to that?

So you spent 10k + shipping on a bronzit non sport interior e30 with a supercharged s50 and now want to put in a turboed s52? You haven't even driven the car yet and you. Are having it all torn apart for 700hp... This seems like such a silly situation to me tbh, that car will be totally undrivable. Will follow build thread for the lulz
