E30 S50 Turbo

[Boosted E30]

Well the turbo is supposed to be good for 550hp. Im going for around 400whp as its my dd in the summer, so we will see how it turns out.

I put the bov there because the flange that came with it was stainless not aluminum which i found out when i dropped off my IC piping for welding and i didnt want to have to wait for another flange. I don't see it having any ill effects. Also this way its semi hidden.

[Hey_You]

any reason you are running bov pre turbo instead of pre throttle body?

Pretty sure that is the Wastegate? The BOV is right on the charge pipe leaving the turbo. There are mixed opinions on BOV placement

What rear ratio will you be running? I sure would love to see a vid of it pulling off.

Its 3.25lsd if i remember correctly. It needs a rebuild the bearings are pretty noisy and its not really a lsd anymore thats on the to do list as well.

Wastegate is underneath. Bov is right after the turbo behind the headlight.

I have a rebuilt kit for your diff $80

I can get the bearings from my parts supplier but the only thing im unsure of is what i will need to refresh the lsd.

Are you the guy that bought my turbo a few years back? Looks just like the gt3582r i sold to a guy in canada hah.

The blow off valve is in the right spot, he just has it closer to the compressor wheel of the turbo. The blow off valve releases pressure when you close the throttle plate. The only thing that might change is the maf before the turbo (draw through) and the maf after (blow through).

Thanks, There's a few turbo e30's kicking around lots of 24v swaps going on that should be done this year. Do you ever make it down to Calgary or do you live mainly in fort mac?

Tuning is done with Trm's blow through tune with 60lb injectors.

Mostly in ft Mac but I do visit Calgary often, not usually with the e30 though

Next time im down in the spring I'll give ya a shout and you can take me for a rip!

If i push it forwards it goes does that count?
Im still waiting on the oil feed flange for the turbo with a built in restrictor, the one thats on there is way to big and is just there to keep shit from falling into the housing.
