Turbo M10 Build Thread, Running MS1 3.0

[Dj Buttchug]

Yep, well aware, it will be changed.

Id try it out and see first. You might be able to run a restrictor in the oil feed line and slow the flow. Some turbos require a oil restrictor, others dont.

Sick build

not sure if this is going to be a big deal but you may have oil drain issues with a super short line placed relatively low like that.

Im going to have to pick your brain when it comes to wiring my own... Love it and keep it up. Sucks you had to notch the frame rail though

Especially with how clean the body was... He refused to get a different manifold or a smaller turbo. 2Hardcore for that. Replacement metal will be welded in.

Oil pan bung fabricated:






Catch can came in the mail:





Oil drain line, need a shorter fitting on the turbo side for correct drainage.



Intercooler intake side done:



Wideband and boost gauge setup:




Got some wiring cleaned up:



ATC fuse block and relay:

Here's a build log update:


Setting up the boost controller:



Turbo mounted, had to cut a notch out on this clean car for it to fit, but it will be patched soon:






Oil pan off:

Here's a sneak peek of the coil bracket.

M10 is strong and the car is light! On with the boost!

Can't wait to see that finished product! Nice to see other people in Kansas :) I'm looking at getting one of these 4 bangers, but a friend told me they are slow as shit and they are horrible. Then again he only rode in one.

This is LegoTheBimmers older and less-skilled/technical brother here (Live in completely different states)

When he lived here I rode in the bimmer several times and drove it once. It is slow, very slow by today's standards (Especially with me in the car) BUT it runs surprisingly well consider it has 200K+ miles on it. Although we have some suspicions that it had been rebuilt sometime prior. In short, it's not fast, but I have driven and owned slower cars (93' Festiva and 94' Samurai) and so has he (198x Fiero with an Iron Duke)

The fact that he's actually in the process of turbocharging the car is funny because when he initially purchased the car and posted his idea about turbocharging it on R3V everybody told him it was a stupid idea and to do an engine swap, me included, but he's doing it and it should be done soon. I've been bugging him today telling him to upload an update video and update this build log, but he's always busy between work, going to car meets and actually wrenching on the thing.

Sow what your saying is I should go out and find an s42 to boost???

Anyway I gotta come by and see that thing sometime...

Just don't plan on getting a lot of power outta stock m42 boosted ;p. Come on by anytime.

[LegoTheBimmer]

Why not use the stock coolant sensor? You just need to record three different points of resistance vs temperature for MS to estimate a curve. No tapping required.

Its precalibrated and also my old sensor is no good. Somone else did it and the wrong temp gets sent through ms. I dont know

[ThatM20Guy]

Not much power is created out if them surprisingly, the internals would need to be refreshed atleast. 8psi is most you can get out of stock head gasket. thats as much as i know, ill be running 8 then 12 psi on mine. After a while ill get a 292 Cam and MLS gasket with ARP head studs.. it will be a beast. i expect 240hp as of now, but after that stuff maybe around 330... all this im baseing what i seen other m10s do!
