Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / M42 Turbo setup
« on: September 02, 2011, 04:24:56 AM »
Hello All,
I have been checking this club for a time, but just now I thought about registering here - so this is my first post.
I have one E30 M42 for ... hmm stupid things like drifting and racing
and now I am after turbo build. So I am thinking of the following setup :
M42 standart pistons
M20 135mm rods
M47 crankshaft
little port and polish of the head (just to make it smooth
MS as standalone
The thicker 2.03mm gasket from BMW 11121721550
I think I can go with 1bar pressure.
So I need advise for two things for now - the turbo and the crank. I was reading and reading about the M47 cranks but I am still not exactly sure what things need to be tweaked so I can use the M47 crank. Some grinding of 0.6mm on the front and some other thing I saw. Can you please explain me in simple words - pictures better
About the turbo - because I need not so much power but response instead - I was thinking of veeery short turbo piping and also some turbo like from Subaru, Mitsubishi or Nissan - the stock ones. Or at least for the first phase of the project. Can you please say - I have this setup with this turbo and on xxxx rpm I have full boost until xxxx rpm.
The car currently is fully stripped, yesterday I removed the dash also. I will have some work on the body ... you know 20yrs cars can have "little" rust :p I want to build the car slowly but to have good product at the end. I will try to not rush things because my wish to drive :cool:
