As I gather the funds to send my e30 off to be fixed, I was thinking about turbos. My engine already has a rebuild with fresh head, .080 mls gasket, arp head stubs and rebuilt vanos. Looking to add some boost to my life, but my turbo knowledge is limited. This would be a learning experience. So my idea was to ge a turbo, idk on size (hx35 possibly??), and make a header adapter for a manifold. I want to do a bottom mount set up so when you pop the hood a snail isnt showing.
something like this, but still allows the turbo room for the bottom mount set up. I am only looking for a ok amount of boost, nothing to ridiculous. IDK like 7-8 psi? Another question is where do the oil feed and return lines go to? I know people tap into the pan, but is there another spot to tap into? Once I source my turbo, IC, piping, Bov, waste gate, oil lines, what is next on the list? Will I need a wideband oxygen sensor? What about injector size, and fuel management?
Just looking for help with my questions, or some ideas. I will be going trough this but im not sure when. hopefully before bimmerfest 2012.
