I have a brand new h1c 16cm exhaust housing I'm going to use. Probably a cx racing manifold, 3inch stainless straight and a cx intercooler.Leave a comment:

Ruthless the turbo 325ix
Lets start with the back story of the car it is a 1991 325ix that I bought in portland oregon a year ago next week, 143,xxx original miles and was owned by a women who had, had it serviced the the bimmer dealership all its life. I am the 3rd owner. the car ran great but leaked a little oil when I bought it, thinking it was the trans output seal I pulled the TC and replaced the seal i also threw a z3 short shift in there and rebuild the shifter/linkage.
Well fast forward to june the oil leak has become ridicules the whole underside of my car was covered in oil! I had engine oil dripping of my rear floor pans
.
So I get my car on a lift at work and steam clean the whole underside off and threw some dye in the oil to find the leak. I come to find out its leaking out of the head gasket in multiple spots.
So I say hell with it and pulled it in the shop to start my turbo build (Its named ruthless because that's my cars name!)
this build thread will be of the build it will probably be slow but hopefully i can get some funds to complete it faster.
Well here are some pics enjoy.
A couple days before the surgery lol
Pulled In with hood off
On jack stands and three rounds I know its sketchy but its all I have 2 on pinch welds and 1 under rear diff.
And fast forward to heart surgery
I pulled the trans and engine together was a lot easier, got the engine on a stand and will be pulling it apart to take to the machine shop.
