Please excuse me, I'm new to cars - E24 Turbo Build
Nope. I had some trouble with the oil return line but I got a 45* fitting on the bung on the pan, routed the return line better, and I clocked the turbo housing so the return line exits at 6 o'clock. Haven't had a problem yet.
Getting new wheels and tires next week. 18x9 RS Reps. Let the flaming begin!
No clue hp/tq numbers, gotta get it on a dyno and figure it out. Wastegate spring is for 13 psi but it's opening and holding right at 9-10 psi, I need to figure that out. Also, in high rpm's and mainly in higher gears my afr leans out, I think the stock pump is having trouble keep up with the fueling so I'll probably put a Walbro 255 in there soon. But other than that everything is great.
Any updates buddy? I wanna swing by soon and see this beast. It's really opening me up to 24's.
Yeah I have done a few things to it. I gotta post an update with pictures which I'll do here soon. I'm pretty sure I'm now sporting a thicker skid plate on my BMW than you are on either of your yotas . Yeah you gotta come check it out, although I have been quite all over the place. Maybe this Sunday, throw me a text.
I did some minor upgrades on the charge piping set up, added a turbo blanket, raised the motor 1/2" with washers, put on a gnarly 1/4" skid plate.. Oh and got some GC hybrid camber plates . I'll throw some pictures up soon
