Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

[Dirk HX35]

pure awesomeness.... just swapped in a s50 into my car.. drove it for about 50 miles and texted Otis to order a turbo manifold... LSX with boost is going to be out of this world.

You will love it! Boost is always better

Yellow square headlights, sounds perfect to me.

Wow. Looks so much different (in a better way) with the colored lights. What'd you use, that transparent spraypaint for glass or something?

Krylon stained glass paint, thanks!

Yeah I don't know, for whatever reason with the clear headlights it kinda looked like a weird crossover between e30 and a corrado or something. Yellow, it looks like an e30 again

[Dirk HX35]

Going to run e28 hubs in e30 trailing arms and move the shock mount.

Haven't made much progress, 745i swapping my e28 so I can still have some fun while I build this car.

Square headlights has me thinking.

[Dirk HX35]

So it's been a while since I have bought anything for the car.
The 5 series is basically finished, just needs a few little things buttoned up.
Recently bought a 60mm JGS wastegate, S475 1.10 T6, and v bands.
Turbo is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I will post how I plan to fit it then.

[Dirk HX35]

S475 finally arrived, fits just like I wanted. Very very satisfied.

wait the headlights are real???

Nice turbo choice, that Borg unit is stout, I run the SX300 91/79 and it spools quick. I'd rock those headlights, cool as hell.
Better have your passengers wear pampers if they ask for a ride...!!!!!

I almost think those square lights fit the lines of the E30 better than round lights!

Either way, this is an awesome build! Keep it up!

[Dj Buttchug]

tell me more about e28 hubs and moving the shock mount.

Now I just need a proper turbo cam, and sell my current ls6 setup.
Thanks for the continued support!

Thanks, some love them and some hate them haha

tell me more about e28 hubs and moving the shock mount.

As of right now I have the hubs pressed into e30 trailing arms, the rear end is next after the the motor and everything related is finalized. I will document it as I go

[jalopi]

Huh. So I assume the e28 hubs go into the e30 bearings? Because I read the two bearings are different sizes. Maybe they've got a larger OD and the ID is the same?
