M60/62 Turbo kit....in the works

[driftingminor913]

Hahahaha yea I have always wanted to Build something plus I do my own fabrication work at home. Plus i haven't seen to many of these in the states on the road boosted n running and it's usually cause people get pushed away cause they can't fit the turbo or tuning purposes. So with this I can atleast get rid of the mechanical side of it n just leave the tuning to the owner

As an E38 owner.. I need to convince myself I would never need this.

I love this stuff, I have so much respect for the guys that build these and make go faster dreams a reality, from Kamotors and their M20 kit, TurboJake and his M42 kit and now this. Every BMW I own will be boosted thanks to r3v. Obviously subbed!

You will be fine with that size wastegate.

[driftingminor913]

YAY! Building oil lines

[driftingminor913]

Any ideas? Folks? On the wastegate question?

I stand corrected. With removing chassis members everything is possible.

So need more advice you guys think I will be okay with a single 44mm wasetgate? I'm only shooting for 10psi on e85 with 80lb injectors (yes that's cutting it close @ 65psi)

King Mufasa, I'll call your Turbo M60 and raise you a Twin Turbo M60 :devil:


Lol in all seriousness, I love when people push builds to the limits just to prove that it is possible!

[driftingminor913]

Lmao^^^^ your my hero

[King Mufasa]

I hate to be the one to say it, but I very much doubt that will fit in the engine bay. It'll be very tight in an E39, let alone an E30. Most people go with superchargers as opposed to turbos for that reason. Perhaps you could look at a remote mount or split turbo system?

Hate to be the downer :( Looks like a cool project.

Ahhhhhh okay cool

You're best bet is to run a tee off the oil pressure sender on the lower left of the housing.

Can anyone tell what's the nipple off to the side? I had it capped when I ran it last

The oil drains out of the filter housing through that nipple when you remove the filter cap
