Original turbo setup.
I posted a build thread on here a while ago from when i first boosted my E28. It ran great for a year on a stock 745i turbo/manifold with a stock Motronic DME with a TCD timing chip and begi FMU. I was playing around on the highway a month ago and lifted the head due to the stock head bolts. When i pulled the upper timing cover off i saw the timing chain guides in pretty bad shape so i decided to pull the motor and do a rebuild.
I dont have any pics from when i tore it down, but here is a shot of the bottom end all cleaned up awaiting the ARP head studs and cometic MLS head gasket
I sent the head to the machine shop and had it refreshed. New valve guide seals, lashed the valves, and had it decked and polished for the MLS gasket.
I decided i was bored with the stock 745i turbo. So my buddy andrew sold me his upgraded 745i turbo that uses a 60mm garret wheel. Here is a pic of the turbo's side by side.
I also decided i needed a standalone. TCD and PF tuning to the rescue on a plug and play MS2 extra setup!
Here is a shot of the motor back together and on the engine stand.
And finally in the car!
A overall shot of the front end and running!
It runs sooooo much better on the MS2 setup! Right now im tuned at 8psi but will crank the boost up to 15psi this weekend when i have time to tune. I'm hoping for 360-380 rwhp and 400-420rwtq! Here is a run down on my setup.
MS2 extra with boost control
upgraded K27 turbo
745i manifold
Tial MVS wastegate
Tial BOV
custom TCD W/A intercooler with massive heat exchangers
3" exhaust
TCD 6 puck clutch
ARP head studs
cometic MLS head gasket
47lb injectors
TCD valve cover
And here is a shot of the whole car
