E30 m3 ls1

I am going to follow the same path on the meth kit, maybe try and see if I could put a small air to water intercooler in the loop somewhere. Something like this possibly:



I've seen many guys run e85 and meth and have extremely low AIT temps for a turbo, not sure if e85 is an option for your area though.

A2W intercoolers are best for race applications. They SUCK on the street. Ask the Syclone/Typhoon guys. (I owned a Typhoon). I would find another option. There are plenty of E85 pumps in my area but with E85 you have to double your fuel delivery and my whole system is brand new and can support 550 rwhp or 700hp with a injector change. I would rather tune for 93 octane and use meth for insurance. Getting 600 rwhp from and LS1 turbo on 93 octane is pretty easy.

That's really odd, I have a good friend that runs one on his turbo m30 and he loves it. we'll see, not having all the extra piping and hacking up the car would be really nice....Keep up the good work man, your car looks amazing.

I added heads and a cam for about 400hp. Time to add a turbo for 500-600 rwhp.

Fuck man, you're killing me with this thing! :bow:

Nice build man! I like your solution for boosted brakes. I was looking into this for mine a while back...good to know it can be done!

[DJP215]

So incredibly awesome cant wait to see it finished!

[Lof8]

Fuckin bonkers! Awesome build!

So with the progression of this project I have gotten lazy at documenting things. So here are the details...

Turbonetics 7868 Turbo
Tial 44mm MVR Wastegate
Tial 50MM BOV
LS Truck Exhaust Manifolds w/V Bands welded
2.25"Crossover
24x11x3 Intercooler

After fabricating everything they were coated with a heat coating then they were wrapped with a heat wrap. (My girl wrapped them). Low boost should yield 500 rwhp. 600 rwhp shuld be attainable with 10ish psi.Ill keep you guys up to date. Thanks for the kind words.

My buddy at work has a friend in texas that owns a LS performance shop, low and behold after months of banging my head on the route to go with my 325is ive decided the ls1. Sweet build and it definitely answered alot of questions i had. Keep the good work up!
