Newbies e30 m20 turbo in the making :)

[D4BOX]

Hey my names sam or box I own a e30 325 2 door that I have just decided it's time to turbo iv took 2 weeks off work to get as much as possible done to her
The manifold arrived this morning (that doesent fit!! Cheap ebay rubbish) so iv spent most of today making that fit oil cooler pipes in the way! So iv had to remove that! And now the bolt holes don't line up so iv sorted that and she's ready to be bolted on today
But on the bright side I have got the turbo housing painted lol

And now to post pictures off my iPhone!? Can I do that!? Lol

Welcome to the zone !!! - you can rotate the oil cooler thermostat so that it faces forwards, this might help your clearance issues if the filters in the way. The pipes bend easily to.

That's todays efforts going to fetch intercooler and pipe kit in the morning so hopefully I will have got a bit more done by end of play tomorrow

[danaidh]

can I ask where you managed to get the manifold from?
do you know if they have the 4 cyclinder ones?

[D4BOX]

I got it from toyosport but I would NOT recommend them to anyone! The fitment was terrible took me a full day to get it fitting correctly ££21.50 in drill bits and £20 for a gasket that actually fit! Iv spoke to them about it on eBay and they basically told me to deal with it and look at there positive feedback!

[D4BOX]

Ino it doesent look like iv done a lot these last few days mainly because I haven't!! but intercooler on and mounted turbo is bolted on and were I want it to be just waiting for some braided lines to arrive to pipe up the feed and return

The pressure switch for the 7th injector is in place and just waiting for the exhaust flange to arrive to start making the exhaust thinking about having it straight out the drivers side wing just for the flames and bangs lol

What do you all think!?

Looking good so far... i am not sure about the blue turbo though

[D4BOX]

No me either only did it because there was paint left in the gun lol just going to paint it silver again lol
Didn't take any photos today but it's running oil feed and return on today boost pipes made properly 7th injectors in fuel pressure reg is on lots of bits and bobs done

Still no exhaust flange though hopefully it will be here in the morning

Looks & sounds awesome! What are you using for engine management? A chip or standalone?

[D4BOX]

Nothing so far mate just a 7th injector to a pressure switch seems to be getting enough fuel on full boost lol

[D4BOX]
