can i please have a turbo setup?

[lovemy318]

just curious... i just bought a new DD so i can keep my project off the road and take my time with it (one of my projects at least). what i need is all the spare parts you guys might have... a spare turbo? manifold? tubing? ECM? intercooler? injectors?

im trying to set up my M10. im kinda looking for a sponsor i guess. im not just here lookin for free shit but anything would help me out. if not free, how much would you let it go for?

lol, i probably look so bad doing this but wtf, i might as well try. im a beginer when i comes to fabricating my own set up, but i have tuned wrx's and srt's. TUNE, thats about it. never got down and dirty with em.. so i guess im looking for beginer parts just to help me get along and going.

if any of you would help me out..... Thanks

building a whole new turbo setup is completely different then a car that came stock turbo.

in true R3V fashion!



















get a life.
coming on here begging for free stuff. I have something free for you--an idea. spend some money!

[StereoInstaller1]

Mike, you know that spending money starts off with HAVING money, and that starts off with EARNING the money.

So much for this kids turbo.

[SamE30e]

Going fast costs money. Especially on a BMW

[mattdk318i]

subscribed.. Ive been on this forum long enough to know when a good thread is brewin

[lovemy318]

im not begging for free stuff! gosh u guys didnt read....

im asking for cheap stuff to help get me started.... i have money, i just dont wanna blow all of it on a new setup when i hardly know what im doin! do you get me?

im not looking for power, (not yet at least) i just wanna teach myself how to fab up my own turbo setup.... so who ever said "going fast cost you money, especially in a BMW" read me wrong. i have my other e30's when i wanna go fast.....

if you guys remember my shitty black 318, thats the one im experimenting on.....
just looking for help... thanks!

A) e30tech.com is the forum that is dedicated to FI. r3vlimited is more focused on the 24v swap.

B) There are plenty of FS threads that have turbo parts. Look around.

C) Fabbing up your own turbo system is not a walk in the park. I suggest you buy the book "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell and start reading. You should be able to visualize and identify every component of the turbo setup you're envisioning before you start buying anything. Can you weld?

Now, I know if you are really serious and have the funds, you will probably start buying things before you know 100% what they do. I know I did. My best advice to you is to copy the components of other m10 turbo systems if you're ever in doubt.

okay.... now im getting somewhere. im very sure of every part.. and what the part does...

im really serious about this... i was wondering if maybe i can buy one of those m20 325 turbo kits and chopping off 2 pipes on the turbo header... will the bolts line up??


oh, and no i cant weld but i have a handy dandy man that can for me... (wow, that sounds kind of gay doesnt it?)

where do i start?

p.s i guy with a subi wrx has the stock tubo and he said he'll sell it to me.. good investment?

[Fidhle007]

I hear Heeter has some spare Plan B he might part with if you ask him nicely, that should help you out a bit...
