88 BMW E30 325is LSX/T56 Turbo Build

[Dirk HX35]

Going to run e28 hubs in e30 trailing arms and move the shock mount.

Haven't made much progress, 745i swapping my e28 so I can still have some fun while I build this car.

So it's been a while since I have bought anything for the car.
The 5 series is basically finished, just needs a few little things buttoned up.
Recently bought a 60mm JGS wastegate, S475 1.10 T6, and v bands.
Turbo is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and I will post how I plan to fit it then.

where did you source the goodies? Pricing?

where did you source the goodies? Pricing?

60mm JGS wastegate from Race Part solutions for $500
Tial 50mm Q BOV I bought over a year ago for the hx35 so I forget.
BW S475 I got for a steal, $700 from Smeding Diesel.
The vbands, sandwich plate, and spark plug boots I got from Squeeze Performance.

^ that does seem like a deal! thanks, looking forward to more progress.

[Dirk HX35]

S475 finally arrived, fits just like I wanted. Very very satisfied.

Just saw this on fb, then on your insta, and now here lol.

That front end is almost as epic as the turbo setup.

Deff can't wait for vids, once it's road worthy, also really digging that rear window louver.

anything between the downpipe and fender? straight dump? shit's gonna be loud!

[mikey G]

dump it out the fender!!!!!!!! This is sick....

[Dirk HX35]

Once the crossover is all finished I will indeed dump it out the fender.
5" fender dump and 2.25" valence dump for the wastegate for everyone's enjoyment.

Thanks for the motivation and kind words everyone!

YESSSSS!!!!!! Keep it goin man, love this!

[Dirk HX35]

So I ordered an MGW shifter, Monster clutches Lt-1sc w/ lightweight flywheel and a circuit soul shift knob. So far I've only received the shifter so here's that, very nice piece.

Shaved the valve covers and installed power steering and alternator.

And I'm contemplating cutting up the car instead of sticking cheap fender flares on it like everyone does.
