My turbo e30 m10
 

I know this is mostly a honda forum but I figured I'd post some pics of my current project. I got some useful info from this site so I'll give some back. 1985 BMW 318i m10 4 cyl. 1.8liter

Turbo is a Garret .42/.48
Audi Blackstone intercooler
12:1 FMU
24 lb injectors

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

that's looking real good.
where's the bov and what turbo manifold is that? looks like 2 piece.

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

it's probably once piece, cause it is a 4 cylinder.. but i does look kinna funny tho.

I like it :)

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

The BOV hasn't been plumbed yet. Hope to get it done today.

The manifold is a stock mani flipped upside down and then I made an adapter w/ a t3 flange. So yes it is a 2 piece.

and what. man your funny...


gj so far terry.. ur ic is gonna be heatin up pretty quick tho. then serve no purpose. gonna add a scoop or sumthin?

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

Exactly what I was thinking, does the intercooler even do anything in that location? i.e. have you datalogged IAT?

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

Looks like a good start.That is one of the first HMT BMW's i've seen.Any idea on what kind of power it's making?

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

doh! i forgot bmw hoods open from back to front, that ic is located right behind the headlight n he could just pop it out when he races for maximum flow. the dp is facing towards the back n isn't fabbed yet. awesome job! my question now is will the hood close with the piping up like that?

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

Looks good! Don't forget you get to play with the fuel somewhat with the AFM's cog tension & idle bypass screw!

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

looks good , finish it up then post some vids O0

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

keep us posted with new pics!

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

Exactly. I am going to remove the high beam so the air will be flowing directly on the cooler. I had to cut a channel in the body to move the cooler down 3 to 4 inches. So now the hood closes nicely.

You may want your MAF on the INLET side of the compressor. ;)

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

you don't have to. as long as you face the maf in the dierction air is flowing its called blow through. jeff did it on the kia and johnny did it on the stang.

Re: My turbo e30 m10
 

Werd.

If you're not running EMS, it's beneficial to blow through an AFM (That's not a maf...). The flap will spring open farther during a transition (richer throttle transition) & stay open farther-easier without out of spec spring tension (If it's not already pushing out of it's movement range).
