Lucan 196 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Oyea and before anyone asks about the Garrett sticker. All these little side projects are a distraction from a more expensive project slowing moving along... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorburn 120 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 Specs of turbo How is the megasquirt going? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Can't remember trim or inducer/exducer numbers but some sizes off the top of my head.. Compressor 0.70 A/R 4" inlet, outlet 2.5" T3 Exhaust 0.63 A/R 2.5" out Looks like a GT35 series or something similar. Oh and I'm just waiting on an IAT weld in bung as far as parts go..Finished the harness adapter, just need separate wiring going to the coilpack and IAT sensor and she'll be good to go.

Lucan 196 Report post Posted July 18, 2011 Cheers guys, I love the idea of boost. What is your budget and what power are you after? Budget? mmmmm...whats that? I dream of huge numbers, but I'm going for 'reliability' first and foremost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DrphTa 5 Report post Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) Ha how silly of me to assume you had a budget. I have seen a few turbo e30's in Auck but nothing with huge HP. Would love to see a local m20 pushing more than 400rwhp edit: my spelling is atrocious... Edited July 19, 2011 by DrphTa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lucan 196 Report post Posted July 21, 2011 What manifold are you using for the turbo? I'm not sure where it originated, I bought it from an E30tech member in Aus. Has a T3/T4 Flange, need to get a welder/fabricator to mod it for the wastegate. Haven't bolted it up in the engine bay to check steering linkage clearance, which I hope isn't an issue, but it looks good on the spare engine in the garage It doesn't clear the oil filter either but I have a relocating kit, just need to find somewhere else in the engine bay to mount the filter etc...

Lucan 196 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Small update Received ARP main studs today, still waiting on Head studs. Bought a whole m20b20 for the rods/manifold/spares etc... Spare b25 block has been stripped right down and will be getting cleaned up & O-Ringed Couple of things welded up Spacer on the m52 crank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrphTa 5 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Are you using a m52 crank in a m20? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Yes sir.. 2.8 m20 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorburn 120 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 What pistons and size head gasket do you use? What sort of compression ratio are you aiming for? Is the spacer heat treated? I'll be looking forward to seeing what this turns into Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Im using 2.5 pistons so the comp should be around 9.75:1 Spacer wasnt heat treated AFAIK .. Theres no load on it as its only to fill out the oil seal gap, so does it matter? Stock HG for now. Haha hopefully it ends up running, reliably.
