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.

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 :)

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 :P now I need to find one for myself.

Slowly :P

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 :D and add the turbo when the weather turns again.

I'm going to LPG it as well :D

you wont hit 600 on a standard engine either
wont need a decompression plate either

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.

yes it is. as the weather is crap its more reason for me to lock you in the workshop. if you need warmth you better get the car running, HURRY UP. (thats me stamping my foot now) cant wait for this i think i am more excited about it than you, see you soon and HURRY UP!!!!
