92 vert turbo build

[Dirty3024]

Installed the second diff mount today from garage tastic. I know I'm probably spelling that wrong but. Fitment was spot on when the car goes to the body shop I'm probably gonna see if they can weld it as well. Just to add some more strength to it.


Also ran all of the intercooler pipping. This was a lot more cutting then I thought. I cut out the front bumper mounting points/crash bar. And had to cut some of the rad support and more off the front bumper. I know there is probably ways to do this with out as much cutting but I wanted to keep everything as short as possible. Also didn't want a million and one couplers as well.

Thanks guys

Still waiting on the engine hoist to get here. Keep trying to find little things to do in the mean time. Debating on how I want to run the intercooler pipping. Thinking about cutting the front bumper supports off to make more room and then having the body shop custom fab me up like a small mount or another way to mount the bumper. Trying to keep the amount of piping and couplers used down to a minimum. I'm also using 3 inch so it's gonna take some more cutting to get everything to fit. Kinda a off question but I've been looking into larger throttle body's. Found this company riot racing any one use one of there's before ? I know it's only a couple MM larger but im just trying to make it as effeicent as possible. Also started looking into meth. But that's gonna be at a much later time.

Nice!
Is the manifold/compressor placement sparkplug removal friendly?
Miller's setup won't let you run the velocity stack because of the draw-thru MAF location :o

Plans for the wastegate/downpipe? Recirc or screamer piping the wastegate exhaust?

It appears that it shouldn't be a issue removing the spark plugs, just gonna be a little bit of a pain in the ass. Waste gate im running a Tial 44mm MVR. And hell yeah I'm going to run it open lol. The exhaust is going to be full 3 inch from the down pipe to just duel 3 inch blast pipes. No mufflers or anything. The turbo makes the car so much quieter to begin with i don't see the point.

So worked on the car a little today. Wired the gauges, mounted the boost controller and cleaned up a lot of the wiring. Waiting on the engine hoist so I can change out the oil pan. So just trying to do all the odds and ends.

So more parts showed up.
JB racing flywheel
South bend clutch
IE shifter

Also everything for my turbo oil feed. When I started thinking about this build I googled my balls off. Creeped through all the forums to get all the sizes down the first time. So for anyone getting ready to turbo there car here's what I used


.

Now I'm not going to be running the factory oil pressure sensor. I'm using a Aem digital oil pressure gauge.

made some progress today, the full exhaust is off forget how much of nightmare the headers where. Pulled the trans and pressure washed it. The bell housing was filled with oil and clutch. Oil pan has been leaking for probably ten years. So the whole underneath had a thick coat of oil. I grabbed the wheel brush and just started scrubbing and then pressured washed the whole underneath of the car. Clutch is being replaced with a bayside stage 3 with a JB aluminum flywheel. Shifter is IE ultimate shifter. Then DSSR from garage tastic. Also replaced the clutch line for a stainless one. Didn't wanna cheap out this time around. Just waiting on the engine hoist to get here so I can lift the motor to swap out the oil pan. Also if anyone has any tips with the crank scrapper please let me know.

I have the car fully gutted factory power top is removed. All the sound denting and the weight in the trunk. Deleted the power steering and the AC.

Also swapped out the factory seats for the Sparcos so hopefully dropped some more weight there.

I have the mason lower x brace as well and your right probably the best bang for my buck handling wise. I ordered a DTM fiberwerkz hood and trunk to hopefully shave some more weight off of it. Once I get the car fully done I'll get it weighed because i really wanna know as well. Seeing not to many people have fully gutted a cabrio.

Super !!! great mods actually

no,, i am NOT going to put a cage in my car,, it is a top down car,,
my car is 3200 lbs,,,, I know,,, VERY HEAVY same weight with V12 and S38B38


sorry for offtopic

[Dirty3024]

Great looking cabrio you have,,, and i can see you have the hardtop and rollcage also..

small OT as difference between M20 turbo and other engines,,,

do you know the weight of your car............. with turbo,,,incl cage+hardtop,, I would really like to know !!



i was using my cabrio ,,drifting ,, and driving a lot on the Nürburgring,, but to be honest. an E30 that is oem 300 lbs more in weight vs 2d car is not a great solution,,

i have been using 2 powerful engines i can see you have strut brace,, that is great,, but as the car is a vert i really recommend X-brace,, i had both and there was a colossal difference,,
today i have neither,,,and i can really feel the difference,,,


looking forward to see more
