has anyone turbo'd a m30 engine

[m30e30]

looking to turbo my car just was wondering how far to go internaly.
i have got my webbr 45 inlet manifold ready for the carbs but toying with slapping in some injection on it for when the turbo cuts in anyone done this or is it too much

[Kos]

its been done by me ( originaly with dips about 5 years ago ) and i'm re doing it now

toby una has a running example as well

a quck search using the wonderfull facilites of this foum will help you find what you need

[m30e30]

how did you do it do you have any pics

[Kos]

B7 alpina turbo manifold with a matched T3 turbo, custom pipe work and intercooler, piggy back ecu with extra injectors.

low boost set up which made 265 bhp and 315ft/lb torque. no pics sorry

re doing it now to make 400/400

[m30e30]

im running 240 bhp at the flywheel and 260 lbf torque at the mo just looked at some other forums and they were bitching about who got 600+ some nice info on there spec engines though

[Kos]

any thing more that 400/500 in RWD car used oin the road it OTT and unusable. i'm building a reliable and abusable car which i'll be confident to use on a day to day basis.

which forums you looking at ?
