Turbo manifold

The racelogic will help tremendously as well...

Yea I figured. Would be kinda manly to be like "Damn, broke another axle with mah AWESOME POWA!"

Breaking axles is more of a torque problem, specifically when you're get a great drag strip launch. Being a drifter on street tires, you'll have much less of an issue. The tires won't transmit the torque to the ground, so the axles never see that much.

what whp do ppl start breaking axles?

[rneedham1979]

I am concerned about the axles, I emailed a few hi perf cv axle shops and I am waiting for a response, hopefully I can get a strong set of axles. My goal is to make it squat the best it can, since that is half the battle, the 245 drag radials will help as well. The 2.93 diff is built, the car will be a stoutly built daily driver...

225/50/15 M/T aired down to 12psi, Eibach pro springs with regular billies. I snapped an axle at the track when the dead hooked, have a set of slicks that need to be mounted to try out. The car squats really good.
What are you using the car for?

What size drag radials? What suspension set up do you have? I will be running 245/40/17's out back.

I will, I will have as much fun as the 700-800whp E36s or the 700-900whp e46s (not backhalved) etc....

My turbo M30 has over 400wtq and spins the dragradials in 4th at 90mph, now that's a lot of fun. :rofl:

That seems pretty pointless in an e30 without extensive chassis mods ie. backhalving. But have fun spinning through 3rd.

If you guys want turbo manifolds I am making them, I wanted to hold off showing anything since it's not completely finished but here it is.

Made from schedule 10 SS tig welded, works with A/C, wastegate provision, available in T3 or T4 flange. Price is $1300 shipped or if you guys want to do a group buy I will lower the price to $1100 shipped. I will have updated pics in a few days with it completed. I can make down pipes and intercooler piping as well.

I can't afford $1300 :(

Whats wrong with spinning through 3rd? Oh yea, I'm a drifter.

I'm personally planning to try the fab666 top mount. It'll obviously position the turbo right with the engine, and the E30 bay has a crap-pile of room for a top mount - without a washer tank or ac (neither of which I have).

600-700+whp...

The turbo M30 is in my other E30.

Since it has A/C, are you running an intercooler up front? I know Tchao was thinking that the condenser takes up too much room, so I'm curious if you got it all to fit and run properly.

I can't wait to see vids from the M50
