[fisher84]

Awesome job dude. Very impressive. Just was wondering what from is your turbo?

[ross2009]

cheers dude what from is my turbo ? lol

[fisher84]

I mean does it come from truck or is just brand new. Is it K27 by any chance? And one more where did you get exhaust manifold? Cheers mate

[ross2009]

o right tbh I aint got a clue what it's from hot and cold side where about the right size for what I wanted , I bought it off eBay 2nd hand
my manifold is just one of them cheapy ones from eBay but I've modified it

[fisher84]

Alright. Me and my friend are building 2 325 turbo. Ill be happy with 400BHp but he want go over 600 lol I seen that cheap manifold on ebay but tbh I though is some kind of Chinese fake shit. What mod you done it to manifold? cheers

[maxfield]

Good project. Loving the inlet manifold.

I'm buying all the parts now to do my own turbo. Hopefully I'll make 400hp. At the minute I'm only buying all the bits.
I have a cheap ebay manifold but I intend to brace it to stop the welds cracking.

[ross2009]

how you planning on going for 600 engine wise ?? my new engine is going to be fully forged there's no point in going for that sort of hp on the rd it's unusable imo
400 is a good target I'm going to push for 500 easy
them manifolds arnt that bad either that it's make ya own or spend like 800 quid on some thing like a 666fab one

cheers max its getting there what parts have you got so far ? it took me 2 years to build mine I'm so glad it's done time to get it bk out I think

[fisher84]

he going for 600+ only to build show car more likely but still road legal. We already welded head water channels like you, got decompression plates, intercoolers, got injectors, he got turbo K28, a bit bigger then yours now I need to find one for myself.

[Steve]

cheers steve how you getting on with yours mate ?

Slowly

Getting the head welded in the next few weeks (did you "O"ring yours?)

I'm going to put car on the road for the summer, I just need to drive it now and add the turbo when the weather turns again.

I'm going to LPG it as well

[ross2009]

your gonna have to spend a little more money than that does he know whats involved to hit that sort of hp
you wont hit 600 on a standard engine either
wont need a decompression plate either
what size injectors you got too ?

[ross2009]

cool beans
no i didnt o ring it most people either do one or the other
thats what i did i put it on the rd with out the turbo altho it was still bolted on lol then just added the ecu last summer

[maxfield]

So far only got a turbo manifold. Will be buying bits over the summer and doing over winter. Still unsure on what turbo to use.

I'll be after some ARP headbolts soon too.

After reading posts by Gunni I'm aiming for 400hp. Which in an E30 will be plenty enough.

[ross2009]

400 in a e30 is a right animal
a word of warning now dont skrimp on major parts if your gonna do it do it right the first time

there a bloody lot of fun tho even with 300 or 350 there aint alot that will kepp up with ya i love embarressing the porshe boys when they come up side of ya with there lady friend in the passenger seat and they go to put there foot down and you sit with them then leave them best feeling ever seeing there face

just give us a shout when you want some arps ill sort you out

[Steve]

We need to get a thread together to post turbo/supercharger project in, there are a few of us now, it would be great to see all the different builds
