Im interested in this as well.

Racers market seems to have quite a bit of equipment/parts.

Can you guys recommend anywhere else to source parts/turbos?

Top mount manifolds

I'm using a Turbonetics which, altough was not intended to be used as a top mount it can be spaced out to allow an hybrid T3/T4 turbo. As a spacer we cut the flanges from the S52 exahust manifold and then welded and adapter to raise the turbo and separate it even more from the head. (see the attached picture). In regards to the diff., a 2.93 works great if you opt to use the E36 M3 gearbox.

Good luck with your projects...

Can you tell us more about your setup?

[P100a]

Well, I'm using 42# injectors, low compression (9.5:1) JE pistons, stock rods, ARP head studs and an Hybrid T3/T4 Garret turbo with 3" exhaust all the way to the back. Timing and fuel is controlled by a TEC3R. A Devilsown water alcohol injection prevents detonation and so far we have achieved 334RWHP w 375 pounds of torque.

I don't usually reply to people who put this little effort into their spelling and grammar but I feel like I need to warn you. That manifold is crap. It is not comparable to the SPA manifold at all. It will crack eventually, possibly soon, and it may not fit in the e30 chassis. You have a long way to go learning about this stuff.

well if u have any idea how strong t304 stainless steel is then u wouldn't say that it would crack so easily, the manifold is very well made and shows no signs of weakness at any of the weld spots...so don't question my mechanical knowledge buddy b/c i may have a lot to learn but so do u if u want to judge so quickly just b/c something is sold on ebay, second of all i don't give a shit about spelling or grammar on a forum when it's web type anyway i'm not here to impress u or anyone else with my language, and i'm an english major so don't feel so obliged to correct me b/c i know better then u anyhow, just b/c u choose to use the built in spell check, it doesn't make u any smarter...i love my endless run-on grammatically incorrect responses so:finger:

This is a thread on e30tech.com that shows a S52 turbo swap. He used a custom Jon Volk (666 Fabrication) mani. I'm sure this guy can answer any of your questions:

and e30polak, giant run on sentences make you look really ignorant, internet forum or not. Proper English grammar isn't really all that hard bro. If no can read what your typing, why type at all?

With this kind of grammar u can't say shit about looking ignorant...check ur own posts before u ignorantly criticize someone else. And as for the smart ass above, this polak didn't get toasted, but he'd sure toast ur sorry ass!:finger:

Hey guys,

Our new T4 based m50 manifold fits the e30 M50. We also provide OBD1 programming. Our e36 m50 recently made 321rwhp on pump gas. Motor is untouched.

Got pics of the manifold in an e30/M50?

[Beau B]

Architecture of the manifold is very similar to the m20 so fitment s/b perfect.
