[Vivek]

Haha I've been pretty busy all weekend and Steven was too. He was in AZ and I was just kinda dicking around and partying..went to a frat party at SCU which was pretty fun

[mbonanni]

Vivi, when do you plan to have your car turbo'd

[Vivek]

Very soon actually. The turbo kit as far as I know is in the mail and should be here any day now. I need to fix up my new style 5's and give Steven his weaves back before I can get started on the turbo though.

Well isn't that exciting.

What exactly are you doing to prep your motor for it?

Nope, not at all. Those are the non-power ones. lol.

The seller of the ones I pictured is going to test the power bases, and if they work I am going to buy them.

if you have manual crank sunroof you can get power from the line that would run to a power sunroof and run it to the seat.
the line is green/blue and tucked up under the steering column.

I dont think I can even use the power bases on the recaro's in the e30

you can. you just need to manufacture the correct plate that sits on the floor. someone did it. ill look

[mbonanni]

okay. so instead of making a bracket for the use of my sliders I make a bracket to mount the seats to the floor?

ya a flat sheet of metal will do.
it will make them sit a hair taller but thats ok.

or you could do what the PO did to my blue car and just drill holes through the floor and bolt that way.

[mbonanni]

How much is a hair taller?

I would rather not drill into the floor. I have a local shop that could easily cut some sheet metal and weld etc

I Have never seen this done, if you can find pics please post.

For this motor not much. It's meant to run on a stock engine and its only 9psi, so ill just see how it goes. Jake's sold a few kits and put the same setup on a couple engines himself and I don't think anyone's had an issue. The plan is to refresh another motor with head studs, 360* main bearings, a rebuilt head, and some other things to run 14-15 psi in the future. For now I'm just getting boost and wideband gauges so I can monitor things. My most pressing things are that I'll definitely need an exhaust built and I'm gonna need a new clutch soon after turboing it.
