Well my project has come to a crossroads, I'm at the stage where I'm starting to build my exhaust manifolds.
My V8 swap isn't into a e30 or a BMW for that matter but an old 70's British sports car.
The car will weight 900kg, run 13" wheels and look retro, I've all the gear sitting to run it on S62 ITB's but I'm seriously considering bolting up a a pair of turbos.
I've been speaking with a few chaps in Scandinavia who have given me all the info I require, it would seem that a pair of TD04 15 or 16T turbos running 0.8/0.9 bar of boost will give me ~500hp. Awesome!
They talked me through oilfeeds, clutch options and plug & play 830cc injectors. He says the small turbos are virtually lagless.
But how reliable is this setup going to be? Is my heart going to be broken chasing endless problems?
Any experience would be great, what power can the 6speed v8 box take? My axle is uprated, but I'd be nervous with much over 500lb/ft.
