E36 twin turbo build

[Wes1311]

Well it's about time I create a small build thread for my 325is now. I purchased the car for $400 dollars and stripped the interior. Later I found a twin turbo setup from a Supra for $75(what a steal! No shaft play, perfect condition!). Well I dove in and there is no going back now!


I spent some time fixing an overheating issue, replaced all the cooling system parts, converted to an electric fan too after the new oem fan exploded while I was driving taking out my new radiator.


Skipping ahead, everything is working like it should now and the process has started, very slowly but started no doubt.

Alright guys, I apologize for more than a single tread showing up, I was having an issue with Tapatalk on my phone but I think it is all sorted out now.

My plan is to mount one of the turbos on top like a top mount then a second on the bottom like the bottom mount kits. there seems to be enough space so far.

That would be interesting and sounds pretty cheap. But I dont think the spacing would allow for that twin setup on an e36 with the strut tower placement and tilted engine compared to the 2jz. To be honest for that amount of effort / power you may be better just finding an s52 to swap in. Your car is about as light as an E30 and I know those are plenty fun with bolt on s52s. I think theres an issue with the pics btw.

My plan for placement is one turbo in the top front then a second underneath where the bottom mount would normally go, it seems feasible so far. What issue with pictures? All seems normal for me but I created the thread from Tapatalk and it was having issues posting earlier for me.

Ah now I see you already started! Definitely looks like you need to get a little creative with the plumbing. I really want to see how this works out
