First OFFICIAL TWINCHARGED M20 BUILD

[LJ851]

After reading on best place to tap the oil drain on the M20...looks like doesnt matter where you tap your always in the oil. The only location where it would drain 100% is above the oil pan. Question is should I tap it here? in the block like this I think I could even keep the fitting I built M12x1.5 drain bolt and 3/4 barb fitting??

Denny, i went downstairs and shot a pic of the backside of a M20 block in the area you are considering for oil drain. I think that the spot you chose would work great, it is behind the boss on the lower right corner in my pic directly to the left of the main bolt with yellow paint on it.






Edit: Your drilling would enter through the boss with the center of the hole in line (horizontally) with the edge of the oil pump mounting boss right below it.

cant wait to see some numbers

thanks! :)

So did some diagnostics today and the issues are:

1. turbo oil drain is not working...ah well its ok I gave it a shot...cost me nothing. So I will be drilling the oil pan and install a proper 3/4 barb fittings which I already have in case the oil drain solution didn't work.

2. Oil drip from sandwhich adapter..(2 extra holes it comes with not sealed properly quick fix.

Tomorrow night I will address these then retest and move on to the injectors and ARP head studs. then It will be ready for IDLE tuning, Part throttle and then BOOST/dyno shop!!

Car should be burning rubber very soon...!!

Your located in Quebec City?!? I'M in Chicoutimi! Should be rolling this summer. I Hope to hit at least once St-croix track with my E30! There is not a big BMW scene around here...

You are going to need a tire sponsor ;) Nice work good sir, cannot wait to see what numbers you make.

Thanks man! I have a plan for tires... I can get slicks for 50$ a pair (grandprix de trois-riviere) http://www.gp3r.com/ they have tons or sale every summer...I just dont know what size I can fit in there and what rim size..etc????..havent done any research yet! but for sure at the track I will be running slicks no way street tires will hold on my car I will go broke real fast LOL...

For numbers I will hit the local dyno and fine tune the timing on it. Hopefully I will have installed water/meth so I can really go all out! I have to admit that total numbers for me is not as important as how the car actually performs and drives... usable power is for me more important! but I still suspect my HP range will be in the over 400HP.... 300 pounds of torque will be available before 2500-3000rpm for sure.

Job well done, Now the dyno is going to be quite interesting to see. Instant power. :D

For sure it will be very interesting. I know with just the SC @10psi the power was instant..1700-2000rpm full boost..torque was instant and brutal muscle car like....lots of fun.

With the best of both worlds it should make for a very enjoyable DD and weekend warrior at the drag and auto-x.
