Just kinda wanna let the world know what im up to. will be building it to sell as i already have a garage full of turbo e30s.

If you build it, they will come.

Please post a build or take a lot of pictures, I know a lot of people are really interested in this

Will you be building the manifold yourself?

I'm also in the process of this with my ix, what's your plans so far?

Wohoo more turbo IXs!

Would love to compare parts lists with you. Specifically what manifold you are going with, as this is a project I am about to undertake.

Awesome turbo ix....But it would be nice if here was some pics

Right now I have 666 adapter, it's just clears the motor mounts though, I might build my own if I get more confident with my tig welder. I'm doing a stroker 2.8 with a precision 5858 dbb turbo

Sounds like a lot of work, haha. I was going to fully rebuild my m20 with forged internals and upgraded rockers, oring block, welded water passages and then just run the standard hx35 with the best twin scroll manifold I could find (hard to come by though). Was also gonna run ms3.

Really want the twin scroll as I want my boost threshold to be as low as possible for street driving.

That's kind of what Im doing my bottom end is all forged and im going to run a performance head from bimmerheads. I was planning on using a hx35 at first and I have a brand new one if you want it I'll sell it to you.

With a Z45 cam or similar I don't think you really need twin scroll. I can post my dyno sheet with a PT67 T4 single.

[boogle2]

That would be helpful...

I am guessing that a z45 can will lift the exhaust valve just a hair sooner and allow some of the still combusting charge through the manifold? Almost like a small anti-lag setup?

I was planning on using a head from bimmerheads with the 280/274 cam, would you suggest the z45 cam over that and why?
