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

[LJ851]

The manifold and pipe look good but the transition between them looks really abrupt and doesn't seem to match. Why not use curved pipe there? Even if you had to pie cut it to tighten the radius.

It's all the same material maybe just a different finish. An the next one I make I will experiment with a tight radius 90

[driftingminor913]

So I finally got a turbo that's worth putting on here will be finishing the manifold this weekend before I go out of town....or atleast I hope so

[driftingminor913]

Okay back at it!

Sub'ed!

[driftingminor913]

Thanks a lot man, really gives me motivation to finish it

[LoneWolf]

What size turbo are you going with?

[driftingminor913]

Was going to do a GT45 BUT a buddy is giving me a deal on this prescion 7675

[driftingminor913]

I need some opinions, what are your first thoughts when you see the piping. And excuse the collector I made. I'm Not happy with it but the next one will
Be made in a better efficient way.




ahhhhh .035 burns nice

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.

Hmmmmm well when I get a clean chassis I'm going to test fit in a e30 but I feel like it will still fit in a e30

This is about the space you get...the pipes may fit, but there is little chance the turbo itself and plumbing will fit:

Ahhhhhh I gotcha, do you have a m60 e30?
