Haha, I agree the problem will be keeping the power down before the chassis can handle it, which has previously resulted in 2 blown diffs at the track lol. Or maybe it was the drag radials instead of slicks on a stickshift car, who knows lol.
What is the 40 mile radius, starting from Brandon area? And I definitely didn't know Nick was in FL, within driving distance of us?

If you can get an in person Nick G tune, your crazy not to.
I agree with Bry, when going to the next level above 500 things get much more $$$. Maybe for first, get yourself a 35r make 500-600 wheel. Unless you want to start out with a $1650 clutch ? These last years you have been stoked with your NA car, jumping into a 62mm turbo will make the na car look stupid. I would start there. Get used to it. Then go for the bigger power.

What do you guys think about this fuel pump kit? Is there an E36 specific one or one such as this on ebay would be fine?

Be careful of fake stuff. Not saying that's fake, but just be careful.

i think the real ones are 140-150 or something like that
the walbro 485 is a great pump, I have one and made over 700whp on e85.
I've seen the horror stories of fake ones killing engines due to fuel starvation so I'm not trying to go that route. I rather have a known genuine pump and would pay more for it. The price seemed kind of low to me. I see CES has a walbro kit, but do you need a complete kit or just the pump?
Did you use 1 or 2? Can this pump be used on 93 also or is it e85 specific?
Hadn't looked at the 485. Is that E85 specific? Did you buy just the pump and place it in the stock location or a full kit?
Thanks for all your help guys, I really appreciate it!

I'd say contact Jordan he can provide many interesting things with obd 2. I still say stay N/a

I think you are obligated as a fellow car guy to at least pretend to be impressed
I had the opportunity to drive a supercharged e92 M3 at an autox event and after a couple of runs I couldn't wait to get back in my car.

I've been in a lot of fast cars before. But the only really fast BMW I've been in had an LS swap on a very healthy shot of nitrous. All others were Supras or turbo American V8's.

I run the walbro 485. I cannot even hear it and it flows like crazy. You are always welcome to stop by and check it out.
I checked google for technique tuning and no address. I checked techniquetuning.com and no address. Its either in Daytona or Down around Miami. I cant remember now. AA is in Miami for sure.
So what is the hardest thing about leaving the NA world and entering the FI world? Its the knowledge gap.
High end tuners may not be available at all times for questions but if you are comfortable with the relationship or response time get the tuners opinion and do what he advizes after you know what you want for HP and so on.
I know you have talent and know guys with talent. Second choice is to fab the stuff yourself but you have to coordinate the project.
Reasons to stay conservative on first build
1-tuner availability
2-you have to manage the project and picking a well documented base of components will help you
3-cheaper (from tune to mech and mistake correction)
4-you will make less mistakes
5-you will have more advice
6-powertrain
7-daily driver
Most guys start SC or do a 400hp turbo build. They all get hooked even at this level and develop a feel for what works and what doesnt. Whether you start at 400 550 or 750 you will go for more if you like power and cars. Shoot high enough to not create a bunch of show stoppers or demotivators during the process but not so high that you dont know its your fault that the car broke at the track and why it broke.
There are some foundations that you can implement that can be used as you move further up.
Clutch
Steed
T4 but do your plumbing in a way that you can move things around when you change. I v-banded everything so angles and lengths are easy to change if required at all and the clutch is easier to get to.
485 pump whether you use E85 or not
Very large arcing motor mount arm
I'm sure there are a million more little things that will set you up for expansion later.
Here are some problems you need to research
Bottom mount oil return and oil smoke
Coil grounds
IACV clean
Maf placement
BOV placement to not mess with MAF placement
Wastegate lines that dont burn
Opump nut
Over rev brown note (car shites the bed)
Cam timing
Leaks in the manifold and plumbing
FMIC mounting
Temperature problems and techniques to solve them. Fans, sealing, oil cooler
Dif bolt breakage and how to make it easy to replace
Plugs (ngk 4554 at .023)
Vacuum routing
Crank case ventilation
I cant believe I'm saying this but try not to reinvent the wheel. You will have enough problems.
Count on friends to help and make mistakes like anyone. Feel free to give me a call or message anytime.
I used to go all-motor once upon a time. Once I drove a 600+ skyline I was ruined. There was no way I could stay NA.
4 different turbo cars/1 BB chevy/1 all motor+nitrous...7 different turbos, 4 different intercoolers, 6 different EMS systems etc etc. Looking to play E36 on boost.
These are some great points. I was wondering about vacuum routing and CCV, how do you turbo guys usually do it? Some of them I've already addressed or intend to address once the car goes back together, there's still a lot for me to learn as I keep googling and searching the forum.

I know for the CCV you can either dump to atmosphere, to a catch can or back into the exhaust. I wanted to do the exhaust route since I was tired of the oil smell.
