I got it cheap and didnt know any better. Somethings wrong with it so i might be buying a 3.0
Ill try to keep the progress going forward but its going to be tough with school. im planning on running around 10psi to start with. Ill see how much power i make. Then the next step will be mls, studs, injectors and more boost :)Leave a comment:

Awesome man, looks like a great start. Are you gonna use an MLS Headgasket with that or can non-vanos M50s take that kind of boost?
Be sure to update often. :DLeave a comment:

The official turbo build thread.
Alright, so i guess its about time for me to let all of you know whats been going on in my garage for the past month.
I decided to turbo my non-vanos m50 e30. So i bought a bunch of parts.
So far i have:
Garrett t3 .63 ar /t04e 57 trim .60 ar stage 1 turbine
turbonetics deltagate wastegate
Audi diverter valve
Ford 30lb injectors
Custom turbo manifold
a bunch of 2.5" aluminized steel bends and straight pipe for intake
a bunch of 3" stainless bends and straight for exhaust.
21x9x2.75 intercooler
bunch of silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps
Megasquirt v2.2 with some add ons which is giving me some problems...
I just bought a Holset h1c and a 16cm^2 turbine housing so that will be the turbo of choice.
decided to put the MS in a spare motronic box:
Manifold, took stock obd2 manifolds and flipped them and added some stuff:
Intercooler and some piping:
Still need to go over my welds again on all the pipes including the manifold. Just to make sure. I go back to school this sunday so this is probably as far as it will go for now. Progress will probably be super slow... :(
Im hoping to get megasquirt all sorted out while im at school though. Im having some seriously annoying communications problems and can not flash the extra code to the processor.Last edited by So Live; 02-26-2008, 07:30 AM.
