***CAtuned E30 Mtech1 Build

[deutschman]

Yeah I don't know shit about turbos yet. Still trying to understand all the terminology and details. I have a coppy of Bell's book on forst induction and have flipped through it, but I need to read more.

[Mlarsen]

Are you going to color match the bumpers or keep them chrome?

Also, back to the turbo manifold. Was this a one time piece or is this guy going to be producing them?

Some pics of the Rear end getting upgraded to 60% lock up and getting mostly all new internals.

looking trust me we are.. Still doing a crap load of research.. My budget is maybe $1200 at best.. ugh

[deutschman]

Thats a pricy turbo. There isnt a good one in the 1,000 range?
I was thinking of using a Precision 3254E on my next m20...

Researching the turbo stuff.

Still will need to take apart the engine and O-ring the block. Then final assembly.
Right now the engine is together but has no gaskets, no seals. We just got it together to measure and test things out.

Here is part of the list:

* Walbro 255 fuel pump - Have already good up to 3bar/ 375HP
or to go with the Bosch 040- is good for up to like double that HP

* 60lb siemens deka's is a good middle ground, or if you aren't trying to reach over 400, 42lb bosch have great atomization and an almost make the engine run smoothly.

* iskycams.com part number 100-GRM, "Rental Charge $60.00 (Tool must be purchased at your normal discount and upon return of the tool in good working order, the purchase
price is refunded less the $60.00 rental fee.)" I think the deposit is like $425 or something.
The metal O-ring is actually just .040" copper safety wire, and it comes with the tool.

* If you are considering the garrett gtx line of turbos, consider one of the FP HTA turbos: Forced Performance HTA gt3582r. Its a gt3582 that flows efficiently 75lbs!! billet wheel of course. Comparisons between the two show that the spooling characteristics of the HTA turbo are superior to that of the gtx. There are reports that the flow numbers of the gtx are slightly exaggerated. Some have used the HTA gt3076r in there e30 were super happy with them. That is unless you buy an hta 3582.

* Run individual large diameter vacuum lines to them, otherwise you will have boost spikes and BOV lag.

I can not wait to see this car done, m tech 1 is a very close second to an e30 m3 for me.
