S38 turbo e30 Hartge H35-24 H bomb

I finished welding up the turbo manifold and modified inner fender. I added oil to the motor. I have a leak on pan. It is coming off the driver side.

It took a little longer than I thought make my custom turbo manifold. It was great experience to do it. I thinking of making one out of stainless in the near future with V band Precision ball bearing 7675. I bolted it down to steal table plus a one inch thickness of flare steal to make sure my my flange does not warp when I’m welding.

I been working on my custom turbo manifold for more than a month. Im modifying the 3” down pipe. When that is dune. I will pull the turbo manifold of to have it welded. Then I can do the sheet metal work.

Building a custom turbo manifold is not fast and easy to do. It has been interesting to do and learn. I have three tacked. Three more to connect. I was able to find and buy a 3” to reducer 2.5”elbow. I needed to check my clearances.

I have turbo sitting where I think it needs to be.
I need to cut and weld inner fender and turbo manifold to fit.

[e30m3s54turbo]

I ordered piping and flanges to make a new custom turbo manifold. I cut the other turbo manifold get some other ideas.

are you sure it's big enough? :)

this thing is going to do wheelies!

I think it might for a while:)
It might do some wheelies.

I started the tear down on the old customized turbo manifold today. I’m still on t4 flange. That’s why the turbo is not set up correctly. I will need to go back 4” back towards fire wall. I will need to cut up inner fender.

I ordered my new turbo Precision 7675. It is time to build a other custom turbo manifold. I will have to modify the inner fender. Cut and weld.

I finally bought my Mason Engineering aluminum lower e30 X brace. I will install it after I get my new Ground Control
coil over kit. I bought used e30 m3 struts for $500. I didn’t want to pull the ones on M car.

I installed my Tial 44mm waste gate. I need to order the exhaust piping to waste gate. I know the waste gate looks close inner finder. It has clearance.

If you do a standalone electronic boost controller down the road, I can't recommend the GFB G-Force III enough.
Not quite as convenient/adjustable as having it controlled by the ECU though (which I assume you would rather do, given the standalone.)

Thank you, for your advice on it. I will read up on GFB G-Force III.

I’m going to install the springs on 44mm waste gate at 15 psi. I can always increase more with a boost controller.

I’m finally installed my custom cluster and tucked some wires on bottom of it. I still need to order a new kick panel.
one of parts came in today. My new 44mm Tial waste gate.
