Yeah look like u paid 100 bucks for another mans trash.

run them in a linear setup, smaller one first so spool the larger one faster, get a bigger intercooler. get the damn thing built. the smaller one probably won't provide boost over 5k rpms on the m20 so running them in a linear sequence will give you boost throughout the range.

twin turbos from a dodge stealth, inter cooler from a starion/conquest, turbo diesel exhaust manifold, bosch blow off/diverter valve, and misc stuff

Stealth turbos are ALOT smaller then that. I have one in my garage. Looks like a turbo off a Probe GT and the intercooler to go with it.

A year later and you still haven't done anything? You could have researched, built, blown and rebuilt this kit by now.

turbo

ok guys, i dont know much about turbocharging but i want to have a go at it and learn as i go. after seeing the parts i have, help me make it work. i want 180-200 hp out of the car. i dont want to mess around with aftermarket engine management or ripping the engine apart. i just want the car to be quicker than it is and be able to have some fun. I need to use what i have and buy whatever else is needed. I dont care if its old school, just want it to be somewhat reliable and not to blow my engine up.
thanks guys.

If you still have a stock exhaust, I'd recommend bumping that up to a 2.25" or 2.5" system also.

People might hate on the junkyard kit, but it's a great learning experience, and if you F something up, you didn't spend top dollar on the part.

Ebay has rebuild kits.

I was running 8psi with stock internals on VW 2.0L 8v motors - it's low boost and generally unharmfull. I know people who have run 18psi on those motors daily - I wouldn't recommend it though.

Just offering up what I can since I don't know much about these motors. Usually if you stay below 10psi, stock internals will be fine. 10psi will get you 200hp out of that VW motor and it's got less power then yours - so it should make it more fun atleast.

where can i buy a rebuild kit? i am interested in doing that. also should i strengthen any internals when i rebuild or keep it stock since the turbo is small

The stock HG on an M10 will hold 15psi with proper tuning, one good pre-detonation and you'll be putting a new one on. The motor is fine as is for at least 22psi ( I've run 25 for short periods ) With that baby turbo you won't be running more than about 10psi or so before it's starts making too much heat for the intercooler you have and the non existent engine management it seems you will be running.

Garbage parts....the only thing worth anything is MAYBE the manifold for a low power m10 setup.

I was gonna say.. looks like a box of junk to me. :(

Do a rebuild anyways - it's like $70 for a rebuild kit. And make friends with someone who can fabricate.

Find out what car the turbo's came from - buy the manifold and downpipe from that car. Cut off their flanges and use them to weld to the downpipe your welding friend can make you and the manifold (if it's flange doesnt already fit).

Also grab the donor car's oil lines for their flanges (all this stuff you can usually grab from a yard for like $50 in total)

Buy some piping with an assortment of bends for boost tubing. Have your welding friend weld up a bung for your DV and a pre-turbo bung for the DV to recirculate the air into.

Buy an oil feed and return line. Have welding friend use donor car stock oil line flanges to fab up adapters so they'll bolt to the turbo and accept your new lines. Also have him cut a hole and weld a bung to your oil pan for the oil return line to attach to.

Find out how to attach oil feed line. On my VW theres just a block bolt on top of the oil filter housing you unscrew and the feed line actually screws right into it.

These are all basics to a junkyard turbo kit.

What you'll need to research is the amount of boost you can run on your stock injectors. You'll also need some turbo software...(and possibly better injectors to match the software.) I'm not really sure what's out there. I'm new to BMW's. But I've built a couple junkyard turbo kits for my VW's.

Good news is, that IC you have flows pretty well for a stock unit.

Also, measure it's inlet and outlet diameters - they're probably the same. 2 1/4 I'd bet. You should probably buy 2 1/4" boost tubing also.

+ Silicone adapters
+ GOOD Hose clamps - (I had home depot ones at first and was blowing off boost tubes at only 7psi)
+ Section of Flex Pipe for your DP to Cat section

Check out how much power the stock clutch unit can handle too and either stay within it's capacity or upgrade it.

use the one with the least amount of shaft play unless you plan on doing a rebuild.

might be garbage

but this is all i have to work with for now, i have 3 babies under 3 and money for the car isnt first priority, so now that i know its crap, tell me how i can put it to use on my m10. i dont want a monster, i just want to make it more fun. which turbo should i use on the m10, the vj11 or the vf28? help me out a bit here. I also have a 89 325i project car on the go, one of the turbos will at least give it some more power.

turbos

i did a little research and found that the ihi VJ11 is obviously not very powerful but spools quickly, its out of a mx6 or probe is in the 140kW range, the other is an ihi VF28 and is larger makes somewhere in the low 200kW range and is used in a lot of WRX's rallyimg. anybody know anything else?
