M50 Low pressure Turbo

[dsytchov]

I have been driving my e30 with an M50 round for a while now and as much fun as it is its just not fast enough.

To start off I would like to turbo it the quick and dirty route and may be do it properly later.

The plan is to get this lovely cheap ass manifold off ebay

and a HX35-W 12cm housing turbo

I have found https://lowcostracingsolutions.co.uk/ who said they would do a plug and play ECU for around £250

Other than the exhaust and intercooler I want to leave everything else stock and only run 8psi boost.

Has any one had any experience with a set up like this and what sort of power would I expect to get?

Hell fire , that`s something for the "big boys" to answer but in the ensuing wait..............

Pink injectors are only good for 240hp ish and management for £250 ?
That would be my worry.

£250 for a standalone P'n'P ecu? thats a bit cheap.

might be worth looking into what make the ecu is, for that price i'd say it was a version of mega squirt.
contact them & see what they have to say about it.

I am sure the ECU is megasquit based but that doesn't seem too bad to me. I have seen M50s run reasonable power on megasquirt. What injectors would I need and how well will this work without a decompression plate?

[steve_k]

i thought that ECU might be MS, just depends which version,

as for the injectors & decomp plate? not a clue sorry.
