Hi at everybody! Just a short introduction of myself, I'm from Austria (a tiny country somewhere in Europe, if you have heard of it :D), 22 years old and I'm in possesion of a nice little E30. So, since I got a lot of information of this forum, i thought I'd share my build here.
It's obviously a turbocharged M30B35, I wrote some Details at the pictures. Beware, no show&shine content in here, I don't really care about cleaning and painting things:rofl:
What might be not the regular choice, is my engine management. I'm using the Ecumaster EMU, this thing has a lot of capabilities and is very reasonable priced (at least here in Europe), I really can recommend it!
So on to the pics:
Started of with a rebuilt B35 which I drove NA for a year (half a year with the standalone, this really woke up the NA M30!), head and block decked, honed, new rings, bearings, camshaft, rockers, timing chain & guides and so on, just one pic of this because everbody knows this
I had a TCD manifold for a short time....but i wasn't happy with the log design, so I sold it.
As a turbo I'm still using a Borg Warner S2E, it has the regular 56mm compressor wheel of the s200 with a slightly bigger turbine. I got it new and for cheap and it works well!
The regular T3 turbo flanges don't fit at all with the BW turbos, so i built my own (using just very basic tools :roll: ), which fits exactly.
collector for the manifold also built by me (of course i cleaned up the inside at the end). Turned out nice, very smooth!
Started to fab up the manifold:
Finished (tac welded) twind scroll manifold which I tried to keep as equal length as the tight space of an M30E30 allows. It's made of mild steel (didn't want to spend a lot for my first try) and tig welded at the end, holding up great so far.
My engine management system, the EMU:
Siemens deka 60lb
This might be interesting fo others as well, i fabed my own camshaft sensor adpater plate to run sequential injection. The sensor is the same as used on the crankshaft trigger, just with only one tooth to count.
Made an adapter for an M51 oil filter housing (to use an oil cooler and it also has a nice exitfor a turbo feed). Not very pretty, because the welds leaked and I had to reweld it :roll:
Aeromotive 340, fits nicely in stock location
Downpipe:
kind of extraordinary oil cooler placement :laugh:
Had to use every mm to make the PTE 46mm wastegate fit
the whole hotside (wastegate plumbing only tac welded):
ARPs installed
Intake modification
Oil return (no welding required! works great!)
turbo block off plate for initial start up to blow out some possible residues in the manifold.
Thats how it looks today, had to add a second Greddy knock off BOV to eliminate surge at backing off of the throttle, not because I think it's cool to have a lot of BOVs :D .
For sure I did already break a 168mm diff in pieces :rofl: (were around 14 psi)
The last mod was adding a sintered 4 Puk clutch disc from PPF, works well with the stock pressure plate at 14-17 psi. Didn't push it further so far. Also the driveability didn't suffer too much, even with my single mass flywheel.
the car itself
I'm running about 15-17 psi on 100 RON pump now and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations :). If someone is interested, I can upload a video of the speedometer while accelerating...
If in the future somenone would be interested in the manifold with turbo&downpipe, I might be willing to sell it at some point (need a BW S366 in my life :bow: ) :rofl:
