Any idea what sort of power this should generate? Will it handle the hot season?
Cheers
v8 turbo deliciousness....
Looking for at least 500whp, anything more than that is just icing on the cake.
Our hot season is no more than a month long here in Seattle, I'm more concerned about having functional traction control since it rains so much over here and it can rain unexpectedly. I'm deleting the factory ASC+T system even though I like it, and am using DTA S80 traction control.
None so far, been working, fixing up little things on the E38 and have another 540i auto to fix before I get back to this build. Crazy hot weather was also slowind me down, working on a black car in 90+ degree weather is not something I would do.

Bought a brand new miller syncrowave 200 this week and my DTA S80 has finally arrived (it seems like DHL uses snails to deliver their packages.) I'm getting pretty motivated right now to jump back into the build and build the manifolds.
I'm planning on ordering either 60 or 72lb ev14 injectors in a next week or two.
No more updates other than this for now.

Ordered a set of EV14 Bosch 1000cc injectors, proper 60mm height. Should just drop right in, they also come with EV1 adapters to fit the factory harness.
Just spent a little bit of time to work on the intercooler fitment. I had to cut a little section of the front support out, to make room for the inlet/outlet of the intercooler. Fits in there perfectly, and the radiator is back in its original location with original mounting hardware. I'll be deleting the high beam on the passenger side and cutting up the head light bracket a little bit, that will allow me to space the intercooler and radiator further apart. It should help a little with keeping the IATs cooler.
See guys, the B30 motors are good for something. Got this sucker out and on the engine stand. Also, I cut off the flanges from the passenger headers. Just have to grind them down and run them through the belt sander now to make them look pretty and flat.
The said flanges. The look pretty ugly right now, but they'll have to do. They'll actually look new after a little work.
My pile of V8 headers, going to get scrapped soon. 3 x v8 m60/m62 headers = 12 little headers in total.

Ordered the couplers and t bolt clamps last night.
Today, I started on the passenger side manifold. This is about all I had time to do today. It's not much, but at least I made some progress on it.
Cleaned these up, so that they're actually useable.
And the first manifold build begins !!!
Here's where I stopped for today. Got the T's all tacked, and welded a couple of inches. I'll weld around the flanges and finish the runners next time.
Clears the ac/motor mount just perfect.
Time to go eat some food and watch Taken 2.

Looking good!
Hmmm M60 twin turbo in my E30M3 race car... That might be fun!

If you can take it apart you can make it faster!
ThanksOriginally Posted by tptrsn
That would be awesome. Crazy at how cheap you can pick up an m60 motor for these day. I would still recommend a single turbo over a twin.Originally Posted by GGray
It is very fun. I know log don't flow that well, but they do work awesome for spool up, especially in a twin scroll application. The drivers manifold will not be a log.Originally Posted by Colby Colbs
Nothing new will be done today. Going to a mustang shop dyno day right now and then maybe to the track. Free spectator admission and 1/4 mile test and tune only $10 today, racers appreciation day.

Your manifold skills are A1. That's some dedication.
nice
When u gonna scrap the headers cut of flanges and make sure they count it as stainless steel
Loving it! Where did you buy the manifold elbows/T's?

Test fit the manifold on the car today, also made a little jig to place the t3 flange where I need it. That's it for now. I got new vision glasses today, and it will take a couple of days to get used to them. Don't want to be wasting a ton material because somethings look skewed at the moment.
Bosch 1000cc EV14 injectors arrived yesterday, they sent me the wrong length. I ordered the 60mm set (would drop right into the fuel rail/manifold like stockers), received 48mm (would need to use extension adapters) from Fuel Injector Connection. They offered to overnight the right set right away and even sent me a return label. Great customer service. I told them to save a little of coin and just ship me the new set with priority mail.
Here's a few shot from today. It seems like the passenger side is going to be packed with a bunch of pipes going to and from the manifold.
