Either way most are still a pita the put to on

How do you guys feel about s52 camshafts? Are gains for a turbo m52 worth the cost of the cams?

[someguy2800]

Probably good for 30 whp or so on a 500 whp car. Mostly up top. Most people on here run them

[328iFun]

Gotcha.

Gotta a set on the way.

Anyone know of a good boost controller?

Also,

I think my diff currently is a 2.93, was thinking about going a little higher? 3.15 or 3.75

If your 2.93 is an LSD that's what you want. If not, get a 3.15 LSD. Never a 3.73 on turbo , unless your running a C4 trans or something.

Boost controllers there are lots of options. The forums like the Eboost2 and the AMS. There are loads of them. All depends on how many settings you want. If only 1 or 2 then maybe get the innovate one with the built-in wideband failsafe. If you want 3-6 settings, get the Eboost2. If you want real simple, get a grimspeed MBC.
Turbo smart also makes a dual port MBC. I ran one for a bit. Its a manual that gives you 2 settings with the flip of a switch.

I'd sell you my AMS 500. It's a fantastic boost controller, however I don't need it for megasquirt

pretty sure its an LSD. I had read that 2.93 was best for turbo builds but low end power is what I like most

But, 3.15 ideally?

Man, you have all the high $ stuff. Must be a freaking millionaire... ha, jk

I looked up retail on that and I don't think that's a system ill be able to swing anytime soon, unfortunately.

Got the scavenge pump mounted up.

let me know what you guys think. I could find little to nothing online in regard to sp mounting locations.




Please disregard my crusty ps rack. I should have fixed those pesky ps lines long ago. Wish I would have taken this beast to carwash before starting all of this work

I was going through pictures of my old E36's and found these:

poor little e30. I've always liked those hardtops on a vert

I bought that e30 for like $400.00 and they are absolute tanks.

E36 vert + Hard top = way to go.

I actually removed the soft top completely as weight reduction.

I'm pretty sure this is too good to be true. But I was comparing the bends to some custom down pipes Ive seen and they look similar:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...g&gclsrc=aw.ds

Think its possible to cut after the mandrel bend somewhere and route/weld waste gate re-circulation and then run the exhaust to the back of the car?

[E36 328is]

I've noticed the same downpipe on ebay and I agree it looks to be the right shape. For the price it would still be worth it even it needed a few changes.

[NOTORIOUS VR]

just keep in mind, it's cheap china steel... it will rust and it's thin.

Wonder if theres anything I could do slow down the corrosion

Manifold is starting to shape up. Just waiting for a gasket, piping, and oil drain/oil inlet hardware. Had to use a few adapters:

[Mklock]

Wait did you just find a downpipe for an e36 on NEWEGG? What the hell, I know where ill be going next time to buy turbo parts for the bmw. Haha.

I have this pipe at home, new sitting in a box. I bought it w/ a bunch of other turbo parts that I've needed in the past but didn't use it. Make an offer if you're interested...I def wont sell for $160.

Does it look legit and line up? I'd have to get 4 bolt to v band adapter. Ill PM you

ICV hosing - Got to thinking yesterday after looking at the ICV silicone hosing:

Instead of connecting one of the ends to the intake boot couldn't I just use the vacant hose end from the CCV and loop it? I don't see why this wouldn't work, not sure if there's much of difference between the air at the boot versus the manifold?

my ICV hose is completely torn, not sure how that happened. But It would be one less thing to order or find at the scrap yard.

I honestly have not tried anything w/ this pipe, the seller however said it lined up fine using a GT35R. The routing angles down and away seem on par w/ E36 routing but of course, I can't say for sure. If anything, perhaps it maybe worth something to use pieces of it.

I can shoot over some pics this coming weekend as I am out of town. But I can tell you right now your newegg.com link is dead on.

Okay, sounds good.
