Dumb Ass Teenager Turbo/Body Work/Respray Learning Experience Build Thread

[Good & Tight]

There is no chip turbo tune for the NV engine. I would look into megasquirt for tuning.

Then you should be good on the valance.
Kinda hard to forget you got a spal low profile.


Check out bimmerforums for the begi.
On the m30 m20 you can run the begi, put in some 24# injectors and be good for under 10psi.
Cheap and reliable.

Swap was done by PO (Although Ive had the motor out several times)

Hopefully I can go that route.

Correction, It is.

Even if you prefer this community, which I do as well, e30tech really is the place to ask these questions. There is a hell of a lot more info there. You could find the answers to all of your questions simply by looking through Jordan's massive thread. I'm not trying to be a dick, I am just stating the facts.

Oh I understand. That thread is gold.

I learned most of what I know from Jordan as well.

I sent him a couple PM's and he always got back to me with a quickness.




As far as the FPR goes, is it an RRFPR?

Yes

You won't need a full 3" exhaust system for 7psi but a 3" DP will help out a lot. And as far as your goals I take it you mean 320 crank. I sell oil feed blocks that are very similar to the TRM units. Mine are cad plated mild steel so they are half the price. I'd look in to a used PNP megasquirt unit if your car is NV. They can be had for pretty cheap or you could always build one yourself. That will eliminate the maf and aftermarket fpr. But I'm sure the general concensus will be to buy a TRM tune.

Im far more concerned with getting a running and reliable setup then getting a certain number.

Ok so I have a Begi FPR. Not sure exactly how to hook it up, what exactly it does or how to use it to tune my car. Do I need a tuneable MAF if I run this?

[Jafxod]

You should sign up on e30tech. I believe most people t into the oil pressure sending location.

You might have to just not run a valance if it's 4'' thick and the cooler isn't even
up against the body. :)

[Jafxod]

No Im pretty sure its just a generic fan, ill get some more info

[Jafxod]

I've seen some guys "T" into the stock oil pressure sender location

Ive heard there are places in the hosing you can just tap into. True?
