turbo

[KIRASIR]

Manifold - the most important part of your turbo setup
Turbo - get one that can be water cooled
Intercooler - the biggest you can afford.
AFPR
Piping
boostgauge

Once everything is installed then you can install a blow off valve. Don't need injectors, same goes for a turbo timer.

So for a basic turbo setup to run a steady 5Psi on a stock M20 what would you need other than:

Exhaust manifold (custom make one, or use 324td or 524td manifold $?)
Turbo (Garret T-25 turbo from an eclipse, used $120)

turbo timer (Used HKS HKS Turbo Timer Type 1 $100)


Blow-off Valve (turboXS BOV, $200 new $100 used)

Boost gauge ($5 used)

Fuel Management Unit (Cartech FMU, $160 used)


Besides piping and possibly bigger injectors, what is missing? would you need an intercooler (Greddy universal FMIC $250) for a small boost application?

I'm not going the RRFPR route. I hope the fuel pressure will be enough. I'm just going for different injectors and letting the Engine management do the rest (fear not.. it isn't bmw)

Does anybody here know if a 324td manifold can be mated to a dsm turbo? I really need info on BMW td setups.

Miguel, a T25 if yuo have it, don't use it, it won't work with your displacement... believe me, look for a T3/T4 with a AR. minimus of 60.....

do a custom manifold.. it ain't expensive.. costin me $500 kiwi..around $270 US

I wouldnt even know where to begin looking for someone to make a custom manifold.

[nzer]

Any machinest could make the part that bolts onto the exhaust ports.. I have an exhaust shop making the actual pipes.. I'm not sure if every exhaust shop can do that?

[nzer]

A rough idea friend made for me.. Not sure if one like this is getting made...

best place to get any turbo manifold made is jr racing they bu\iuld all the manifolds for sem and altech splitfire etc. they have also made an e36 setup. right now thet are working on that blue e36 318 convertable that is turbocAHARGED THEY ARE helping me out with something

Wow, what do they charge for a custom manifold? one arm and two legs?

[davide30]

I would like to know if you put a FMU or RRFPR, because me I have one and which kind of fuel hose do you use to resist to the pressure...
and also your AFM resist to the air pressure ???

thank you
Dave

I contacted them... $660Usd shipped to Canada.
Not as bad as I thought.

Miguel, I've seen some custom turbos where the car used the stock manifold, but had a Y-Pipe system created for where the manifold meets the main exhaust, and one side of the Y went to a turbo flange. It basically worked the same, except there was no need to modify the manifold
