The 15 Y/O Turbo M42 Build Thread (Now Holley EFI Terminator X Controlled)

[TheTacoMan]

you reno boys and your meth. You guys really are nuts. I need to get on your level.

I also need a bigger intercooler

I have the smallest intercooler among everyone, I think its some thing like 5Hx26LX2.5W. Meth helps alot in that aspect.
I know Id be running e85 if they had it here in Reno. I know when I was at 250ish whp I had some traction issues with an automatic.

I still have yet to setup my intercooler sprayers too, I need to get to that.

Damn, well meth is an option to help you get over the 300 hump. My intake was a bit more than yours though so the gains might not be the same.

What are you intake temps at? Im surprised the m42 throttle body is a restriction at 16psi.

it depends, Im usually in the 90s. If I drive when its cooler the air temp is better.

Its only up high that I cant get more air in. Anything sub 5500 revs and its all good. the design is that double plate style. It sucks real bad

16psi right now. It feels amazing.

[TheTacoMan]

Wait until you hit your goal. 300whp is pretty sweet.

I might have missed it but how much boost are you running ?

[Dj Buttchug]

went for a drive tonight. Its so nice to be able to enter a corner just under boost, kick the clutch, and have enough power to hold a slide.

money well spent

im on 970cc right now. I could. Hell i should. Will see.

:up:

If you need some parts modeled up let me know. I have SW at home and use PRO/E at work. More than happy to help a M42 project!

[Dj Buttchug]

I was just thinking. Youve got like 1000cc+ injectors, right? Why not go e85? Could easily gain some good power by doing so.

Also, I copped a pc so I should have solidworks up and running soon.

and heres another of first and second up a hill. no traction at all once it builds full boost

[Dj Buttchug]

i promised a vid so here it is. its super shitty. my gopro is dead... Ill post a better one when I get time. Enjoy. this is exactly 1 bar.

[Schnitzer318is]

^12 under full throttle? Hmmm... I've been tuning for 11 at WOT @ full boost. Might have to lean it out and gain some more torque.

PS: I love and hate your thread Buttchug. Makes me want to keep my turbo m42 forever. But unfortunately it has to go soon...
