S38 turbo e30 Hartge H35-24 H bomb

I took my dash out to experiment how to repair. I read on how someone on r3v repaired his dash in 2012. These days on the dash’s for a used dash with no cracks cost $600-$1000.
I’m my experience on repairs. I would recommend a dash with one or two cracks.

This is how mine came out lol, such a long process as it was my 1st time using bondo in general. I haven't lived with it yet as im doing an overall project on the car but its just about complete but I believe I like how it came out

I finally got my Tail blow off flange and piping welded up. I have a Tail waste gate. I want to order a new one in black. I’m finishing my vacuum lines.

I’m working on MSII to bolt up in glove box. I’m a bracket that will work for me. The e34 m5 wire harness barely makes it in glove box. I had to extend some few wires.

I was not happy with turbo oil drain rubber hose line. The rubber was easy to get damaged and cut. I bought black braided nylon hose. It is little hard to damage it.
I’m ordered a new PPF s38 flange and turbo t4 flange. I will be ordering more piping and Vband turbo flange for a Precision ball bearing turbo 7675. After I get the car running on this turbo.

I’m going to weld aluminum piping. I need to order Tail blow off to figure where to weld flange. I been bolting everything on motor.

I bolted up turbo up with gasket. I didn’t like the gasket. I ordered a stainless steel gasket. I also bought this for my car. I will be adding some euro parts to this project.

I’m having second thoughts on my oil feed from oil housing adapter. I might order a Alpina B10 Biturbo oil filler housing. The Alpina gives me more access to sensors.


I been thinking about buying this cluster with out M tenchnic. I will be having them add Hartge 300klm. I have real Hartge 280 klm.

Was the blue tape supposed to come off?

The blue tape was holding my steel gaskets in place. Some of them were slipping off while I was to aligning turbo manifold. They are off for sure. I don’t want any leaks after 32 bolts to tighten down 😅

progress is good

Yes!
I had to pull the water log off because I couldn’t get two bolts on. The turbo manifold piping was in the way. I was able to get them into log.

I been researching on coil packs. I need to buy one that I can test to fit.
I’m need bolt up studs and copper nuts.
