e30 s50 turbo opinions!!

[tk-421]

Holset Hx35 gets my vote. Simple/cheap/plentiful.

this. i'll be putting one on my m20 if i don't end up going m50nv (which will have a gt35r but only because it was given to me. if that wasn't happening, i'd go hx35)

as far as engine management im leaning towards MS im still not exactly sure but i've heard a member sells them PnP

why megasquirt when the stock ecu is more than fine

how much for the gt35r ;)

[warioware]

so then you recommend just getting a tune? from TMS or who?

I would say so. Not a very smooth graph though. I think it could still be worked upon

I have a turbo chip tune for the stock DME from NickG that is for a draw through setup using your stock MAF and a set of 36# injectors. It's good for up to 9psi. $500 shipped for the chip tune if your interested.

Get a miller WAR chip for tuning, and a properly welded manifold. Amazing what people pass off on forums these days as "quality"....

hmmm i might be interested would i need anything else like any sensors??

[Good & Tight]

do you have any pics? and will it work with the blunttech good n tight manifold?

The HX35 will work on my manifold. Check this thread for pics ----->http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=227950

I can make a package deal if you want the chip and manifold together.

+1 for Mr. Good and tight. I've had 3 M50 turbo manifolds in my E30. His fits the best by far. Easy access to all but like 2 bolts. But even those 2 bolts aren't that bad compared to the other manis.

Also +1 to that manifold working with an HX35. I have an HX35 and a good and tight mani. Can snap pix if you want.

the chip will work too. If you don't want to mess with DIY stuff, just get a chip and be happy. Retunes are just kind of a pain. Also, you have to run an ugly maf :-p

Lets not get in to the customer relations, or lack of it when it comes to them. Glad you like there product.

Otis has been doing manifolds for quite some time as does Jon Volk of 666Fab.com

FWIW, I ran the GoodnTight manni, and a Holset HX35 on my s50.

I did 325rwhp @8psi on a crap tune.

thats pretty good i'll probably end up going with the HX35 and just a mild tune what kind of injectors were you running?

[BimmerTim]

Siemens 60lb injectors
Stock FPR
Stock Fuel Pump
Stock Pistons
Stock Headgasket
Stock Plugs and Coils

There was a lot of room for me to make more power, easily. I was just over the car, and sold it.
