Turbo M10 Build Thread, Running MS1 3.0

[LegoTheBimmer]

Update: Havent been working on it lately due to school, But i got the MS In my glove box now all wired up, it has power. I also put my fuse block in the glove box and grounds for them. In the process of wiring up the fuel pump relay( tried using the stock setup with the MS wire to it but didnt work well) Im trying to make the harness cleaner aswell. I have the intercooler piping done, and the catch can relocated. Took my IAC "Adapter plate" to my metals class in school and i am having a block off plate made with the correct threads for my IAT Sensor. If any opinions let me know!

Also forgot to add: We used universal coolant hoses so we could re-route the thermostat so there would be enough room for a air filter. Also made it so there will be no contact with the fan during driving. other thing is i got a downpipe made and installed. i could be missing something but i am not sure. ill keep this updated.

Update on the build.. My ECU got fried so i shipped it out to get professionally built and modded for LS coils. Redoing some wiring and getting the engine bay cleaned up. id give it a couple weeks to see her running. one can hope.

It should be easy to finance a build like this when you steal money from your fellow R3V members. I've heard its good practice to sell people parts that you never ship and then refuse to refund their money.

Maybe he is planning on delivering the parts in person

Just a quick non-visual update. The Bimmer should (Needs) to be completed and up and running within the next-month as I plan to drive it from Kansas to Washington State.

For the picnic?

Can you post a picture of the back of your coil mount and how its mounted to the valve cover?

It is welded on.

Turbo side charge pipe done, maybe a bit more tweaking needed:




More wire stuff:

You couldn't clock the turbo so it points downward instead of upward?
A 45* drain fitting and some hose will make that drain work. Doesn't have to be AN.

My intercooler is behind the grille, would have to run insane piping for it to work, also my turbo is close enough to the ground... Test fitted the turbo clocked down, the coupler and pipe would be in a bad spot.

Not entirely sure if he can or not, i'll see if I can get back to you.

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

A response from my brother:

""The restrictor is on the turbo already, came with the oil feed line."

So I guess there's already one. He is however worried about the fitting on the turbo causing some issues.
