      Damn, the detonation pits on those M50 pistons are nasty.

      Awesome car, I think you should see what you can run at the track. :)

          So guys, kinda big news i guess.

          Picked up a gt4088 journal turbo and Jon Volk (666fab) built me a manifold. And yes it delivers in classic Volk fashion, this thing is a work of art!!!
          Check it out!




          Should be throwing together a street tune tomorow and well see what she lays down soon!!!

                  haha thanks bro. wish the rest of my build matched 666's quality but oh well lol. His mani and the gt4088 should make for a pretty linear powerband and decent spool time. Im excited to get it on the road tomoro.

                    Two thumbs up. i desire to have an m52 powered e30. Forced air would be nice too.

                    I think you should post more pictures, and maybe a video that has real audio? Doo eit!

                      Lol once she's reasonably tuned I plan on posting up some vids. I had the audio set up wrong that time! I plan on fixing a few things and hopefully I get some real pics soon.

                          :roll:

                          DONE!:


                          Gotta get the oil return straightened out a little and hook up a new charge pipe (hot side) but but other than that shes good to go.

                          Ended up doing a good 3rd and 4th gear pull on the way home and added a good more fuel up top and its still a little lean.

                          With no boost control (table set to zero pulse width) i hit max boost at about 4500 rpms which is late but its really not bad for a .81 t4 housing on my little 2.8 liter. Should be fun revving to 7200 or maybe a little more and it should pull the whole way there.
