Turbo M30 dyno

[bmw335isturbo]

(yert315)TCD= turbo charging dynamics. There manifold is about $600 I think. I don't think anyone has used this manifold in an e30 m30 yet.

I have works well

I just read through this, I haven't been keeping up on what you have been doing Otis.

Jean and I are going to have a talk.

i'm new. should i wade thru some old threads or can you guys point me in a good direction?
from the little bit of research i've seen, the 745 manifold is limited. is that true?

-TCD= turbo charging dynamics. There manifold is about $600 I think. I don't think anyone has used this manifold in an e30 m30 yet.
-Cartech is an older company, but is slowly coming back. I emailed them asking about the setup and they only offer the manifold right now, which is $500.
-The 745i manifold is limited to the turbo and wastegate. The k27 turbo (stock turbo on the 745i) is the only one that will fit the manifold. Two wastegates were offered: a 6psi and 10psi. You can get the turbo rebuilt to give you more performance, but that will cost $$.
Custom is what many guys do, especially if it is going in an e30. This is your best bet for maximum flexibility and performance. If you are handy with a welder, you could fab up a manifold with some weld-els. This is the route I will be taking. You can set it up for any turbo/wastegate you choose.

There is a 745 setup on Ebay now.

[coolasacuc]

depends on your goals and turbo choice.
good&tight made his own. Most guys go the custom route.

12.60@119 with 359whp? What tires? Awesome trap speed! How much does your ride weight?

I'd have thought an MLS head gasket with ARP or similar studs torqued to spec would be enough to avoid O-ringing the block.

At this point I need to pull the head and see if it's the gasket or cracked head. I'm thinking throw on the MLS and see how much it can take.

0-rings are your next step.
