TRM E30 Turbo Build

[Bmw e30 Justin]

Nice vid, how much boost you runnin? And how does the power come on...?

~6.5 To 7 psi right now. It will be turned up around another 2psi at the dyno when I go for the final tune. I get full boost by 3k and That will only get better once Mike starts playing with the Vanos at the dyno.

This.

And how does it feel compared to the blower?

Well to simply put it........ Torque is a beautiful thing.

Plus TRM's Blow through MAF set-up is seriously awesome. I have fallen back in love with this car. It's so much more responsive no slight hesitations like with the draw through supercharger set-up. Better rev matching and honestly it just pain fits better. ( all of that and I'm still on the 6.5-7 psi base tune)

How's traction?

I'm guessing with that little boost it wouldn't be too bad. Once you get up to 12 PSI, it'll be a different story...

Well first is breaking loose but second will catch for now...... It will probably never see 12psi on stock headgasket. Probably more like 9psi

Should've gone with a thicker MLS with ARP studs from the start! Now you've limited your self.

:twisted: I like the way you think.

Yeah I know if something ever happens it will be a no brainier to upgrade but I wanted to see how long it will hold up before/ if it blows. TRM is saying 300 to 350 should be reliable on stock head-gasket but only time will tell.

Yeah It might not last that long with friends like Dom around.... I am on my way back to work and I'm like damn this thing is running good...... I do a pull and look at the gauge and its around 10.5 I'm like WTF Dom.

Your on a base tune, once they tweak it on the dyno car will run a lot stronger.

That was quick work Justin and Dom. Can't wait to ride in this beast.
