Ultimate budget build.

[Danny]

The m42 does have a cam sensor actually.

I just cleaned mine up yesterday lol.

Trading my td05-12b for a tc05-12a tmrw.

[lifeiskaos]

do you already have your fuel lines, adapters, fittings, etc? i may have suggestions for you as i just spent 3 weeks finding deals on mine

[Danny]

Yeah I have everything I need.

Just need to fix the damn manifold.

[SamE30e]

Duct tape Danny. If you put enough it will hold your turbo in place.

I just cleaned mine up yesterday lol.

yeah I wasn't sure. it's probably running sequential injection too, which is nice.

[Danny]

Its all good Nando, no worries.

The critiquing is nice because it makes me rethink things.

[SamE30e]

Danny, just do it. Don't be a bitch. lol

[Danny]

Oh it'll get done.

Probably Christmas break though lol

[Jesse30]

dude this is awesome. i thought you were just joking around about a turbo. good luck man. i hope to see this at bimmerfest.

if the m52 is boosted by then we're going to need to create a boosted e30's club at bfest :D

[Danny]

Yeah, Idk if I can make it down to Bimmerfest as its during the school year, maybe I'll just take a few days off.

It'll be done for sure by then.

[e30nub]

Any updates?

[Danny]

Well my friend Tim (wtfgerman) who is helping me do the install is out of town.

I still need to cut some flanges and get them welded up but after that everything is ready.

I cant believe I didnt see this thread earlier. Cant wait to see how it goes with stock management. Hurry up and get it done!

A friend of mine is running standard Motronic on his 2.7 turbo @ 6psi -- doing 263whp and it's been running perfect for almost 20 years now. 14 solid years on the track too.

Budget turbo build, oh yeah, nothing can go wrong here.

Oh well, we shall soon see.

Trey, dont forget that Aaron's turbo setup cost him $1000. I mean, yeah it's slow, but it works.

How does it run so far? low, mid, high rpm?? Ive always been interested in this however the mapping turns me away. Are you running stock injectors?
