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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

[m3t4lm4n222]

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




More wire stuff:

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.

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