    Ill4noreason's Turbo M42 Build

    Got a box of parts today!


    Pics first...















    Ok I bought this kit from another member who sold his car. I have owned cars already equipped with turbos and superchargers. This will be a first for me actually building it and tuning it. Plans so far include a complete rebuild of my spare m42 hoping to get 280-300whp off of that setup. As of now the megasquirt is already setup for a complete stock m42 running 12psi with 42lb injectors. I am gonna try to get it running using that tune then take it somewhere to get it dialed in. Any help, info, or suggestios are welcome.

    Turbo kit includes:
    Aem uego air fuel meter
    Turbonetics turbo t3/t4
    Tial wastegate
    Blitz blow off valve
    Spearco intercooler
    custom mandrel bent 3 inch piping from turbo all the way back
    3inch Magna flow turbo exhaust
    Tapped oil pan
    Good n tight Turbo manifold
    Megasquirt ecu
    Turbo blanket

    Time for me to get to work

    Oh here is the car it is going on:

                        Always wanted to turbo a m42!

                        Only suggestion would be to route IC pipes above the frame rail (under the headlights). Just looks like you have a lot of IC piping.

                              Looking forward to see your version of the turbo 4 pot.

                              Did you get that tune from my build page? I uploaded it last night.

                              Subscribing for updates. Good luck.
