    Not worried at all. A friends 04 Sti runs on 18psi with a smaller turbo and doesn't have any boost tapering off.

    C/R hasnt been changed at all yet. Might lower it when looking for bigger HP.

    Good ideas on lowering C/R?, I have heard of the thicker gasket trick

    This is my best mates car Andrew. His name is Marc "MarcG" im just speaking on behalf as he doesnt use BS at all

    What is everyones guesses for HPatw on 5psi? Id say 220-250hp?

    Subaru is a different kettle of fish tbh

    Mine has a similar size turbo to dsr380 and i have full boost by 3500 and it holds solid

    till redline and i could probably bring that down lower with a little more tuning

    Put simply with a smaller turbo your going to need more boost

    to reach your hp goals so if you want to retain that turbo

    and shoot for big hp either lower your compression

    or use a bigger turbo

    Thicker hg with arp studs works fine going off the usa forums

    Lower CR pistons would be best

    Im using standard CR with buckets of overlap and a big mumma turbo

    for my current build

    Makes it sound easy, is it really that easy?

    Nope dont bother with a piggy back

    dme uses internal ignitors making it difficult to tune ignition timing

    Either get the dme remapped or use a standalone

    Ive looked into every alternative including fmu, safc2 etc. and these are the

    only two that are worth doing imho

    Just use your megasquirt its been proven to work and

    it will save you alot of time and effort

    Simple, usable power...

    Want to see boost before 3k

    lag is for dialup

    Fair enough

    I used a similar sized turbo on my last setup and had next to no lag

    Your not worried about boost tapering off at higher revs?

    I would have thought the dsr430 would have been a better match

    nissan guys use them and still have a low boost thresh hold

    Have you lowered compression or standard C/R?

    its a dsr380g2

    Compressor side

    Inlet pipe 70mm, outlet pipe 50mm 48 trim compressor; inducer 53mm, exducer 76.5mm.

    Exhaust side

    0.64 or 0.86 A/R turbine housing, turbine wheel outlet 46mm, outer diameter 53mm.

    Awww how cute :D

    Jokes aside

    Why are you using such a small turbo?

    You need to do your own maths and research.

    I'm only selling some engine parts and it's pick up only. I havent got time to frigg around wrapping , posting, or organising freight.

    BTW: The M54 block went out in alloy scrap. This lot will probably end up there too

    i thought about that haha lots of pipe work though, thinking one big one on the left front of engine bay and down pipe on the left hand side split to 2 pipes each having a muffler one out each side of the side skirt. could join the manifold at the rear and front from bank to bank so its like one plenum. i really want to incorporate the ac system into the intake as well as a big ass intercooler.. and maybe even a air to water intercooler as well, hmm or what about this an evaporator in a tank of water with electric pumps circulating through an big water air front mount intercooler.. any ways its got to have really cold air going in some how :D

    Haha I love the extravagance

    Rego says 1990. Realoem says January 1991.

    You can see what the reinforcements look like in my other thread.

    I had considered doing it the cheap way. But I'd probably have sleepless nights knowing that I hadn't done it properly.

    Was it obvious when it started ripping?

    Got all the measurement done so the new piece's will go in the right place. I've got a feeling it'll fit snug anyways and this might have been pointless

    I dunno if i would say making it yourself isnt doing it properly

    but to each their own

    It wasnt so obvious at first thought it was just

    worn bushes then as it got worse It sounded

    like a wheel bearing.

    Found out it was the diff mounts when i pulled over in cambridge

    then drove home to welly with 1 bolt holding my diff in :lol:

    its not going to be a 1990 as its an E36. 93 onwards.

    and good on you that your being productive and furthering your skills with your time out of work instead of watching soaps all day!

    Mines a 1990

    I had the same problem with the diff mounts.

    mine ripped out 3 of them though.

    I dont know what the reinforcement plates look like but

    to fix mine used 6 mm plate folded around the contour of the mount area

    then welded the crap out of it

    .....and never ever swap tuning tables that equals heart ache.

    Dunno if thats aimed at my post or not

    but i just assumed he had a new ecu with zero settings on it and as a newbie tuner

    myself ive found working off a "base tune" is easier than starting from scratch.

    It might be different for you cause you know what your doing

    but for a ham fist sausage finger like me I like to know that

    at one stage that tune worked for someone else so if i mash enough

    buttons it will eventually work for me :lol:

    Go on the mapecu forum and search for m30 turbo map

    Pretty sure they had a base map or someone had shared one

    or something along those lines

    Then just modify maps to suit your setup

    EDIT-

    go on mapecu.com > support > base tables > BMW

    Lists "BMW Turbocharged 535i" as a downloadable table

    tweak it for your chit and Job done.
