TRM E30 Turbo Build

[Danny]

I like my races and sports, any understeer can easily be fixed by putting your right foot down.

What length is the Oil feed line?

I want to say around 4 feet but I will check for sure today.

Hey Justin, love the progress on your build! :pimp:

Not a fan of the suspension choice. The H&R Race will be too soft up front for the added weight of a 24v motor + the extra weight from turbo. On top of that you have no adjustment with your shocks.

Hopefully you prove me wrong with the suspension, but I don't see that happening. Good luck either way.

Yeah we will see I liked it on my drift car but it was lighter. I have got to get wider tires now the 205/50/15 are not going to cut it lol.

Try telling the cop that lol.

Thanks man that's the one I ended up ordering. I got some more parts and started getting things ready to put in. I'm still waiting on the manifold and exhaust housing to get back from the ceramic coater's :/ Should be this week though. Then I can start making some progress.

Any thoughts on how to tap the oil pan in car? I am thinking about trying to weld it or tap it ( I know I'm being lazy)..... Has anyone done either before?

I tapped mine and used Home depot fittings. Someone has the drain line going to the timing cover and it looked interesting. I didnt have anyone able to tig so i just tapped it.

This makes me glad I didn't buy your SC kit. Would've been fun but I know I would have followed suit and went turbo later.

Looking good Justin!

Ya, traction WILL be an issue. You better get at least some sticky 225s on there! :p

Yeah that's the plan after I kill the 205's of couse

I got the manifold and housing back from the coater's yeasterday :) It looks awesome but I do have a question should I grind the coating off the flanges? Or will it matter?

Thanks
Justin

Pictures of the progress. I have to get a shorter oil feed line :( 4 feet is just too long for top mount. Here's what I got. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/AAF-ALL48166/

The manifold is on and tightened down (what a pain in car) Everything seems to be coming together. I need to tap the pan this weekend so that will be fun. I also have to install the intercooler and mock it all up.

I had my oil feed line custom made for $23 useing 3AN line with a 90* on one end. That way i don't have to run a restriction valve and i don't have to run a bunch of reducers, adapters, etc.
