I am starting a custom turbo project on my 95 BM 318ti. I was blessed with a m42 with stronger internals.
Here's the plan
This summer
-turbo placement and manifold building (have a spare stock manifold to work with)
-dedcide which turbo is in better shape and mount it.
-Run oil lines and tap drain line.
-link the rear exhaust into the turbo (already have a flex pipe i put in my custom cat back)
-plumb in RRFPR (rising rate fuel pressure reg)
-mount a front mount intercooler (hopfully behind the kidney grills)
-plumb it all in.
-use a BOV from friends MR2 turbo (easily can hold the boost i'll be running.
-Plumb in a in car boost controller 5 psi normal and max 8 psi
-boost guage and oil pressure guage install
hoping for about 180-190hp at the wheels 200-210hp crank under 8 psi
winter
-cars coming off the road
-new clutch
-thick metal head gasket from
www.VACmotorsports.com -pcIII injector controler
-30 lbs injectors
-will up the max boost to about 10 or 12 psi
I know i wish i had seen someone do this and post pics about it, so i'm going to update the post through the project.
