nice. Keep things posted.

" Best guess, what rpm's will the boost kick in on that gt28r? The faster the better"
My guess is 2000-2500 rpm gt are 500-1000rpm faster spollup then non BB

not yet but it looks like its going to fit. But I may run it bottom mount.

I'm gonna see which I like better and go from there. When I get some time I'll put it on and see how it all fits.

Well the MS is on the way and I have decided to pick up the AEM EBC.

The manifold will be done on March 3rd. I'm not sure if anyone has tried yet but I think I'm going to try and use a m20 TB w/ a mustang TPS for the MS. I am doing all I can to have this on before Korman's Open House on March 17th. Time is hard to come by w/ a job and college but I'm hoping for the best!

Please, when you'll have your MegaSquirt write all about wirings, settings.... all about it:D I want to know if it can fit to a M44...
thanks and good luck with your project.
bye

The MS came in yesterday, I was going to start w/ it last night but I just got back to my room now lol.

a little update...

I've spent the day workin on the car. I have the whole exhaust off as well as the front sway bar. For those who don't know taking off the stock manifold is a PITA! I bolted up the Tubo manifold and its a no go on bottom mount as the compressor side of the turbo would hit the subframe. The top mount looks nicer than I thought it would but the adapter to get the turbo where I want it is looking to be a pain as well.

I am heading off for the beach in the morning but I will be back about thurs or so and will be pickin this back up. Also I finished building the MS kit and I am about to start installing it.

yep as I figured. I knew that it would if I used it as a top mount but I was hoping that it would work for a bottom mount

My o2 sensor was toast so I just ordered the AEM wideband. It'll be here when I am back from the beach.

I was hoping to have the turbo on for the Korman Open House the 17th but that obv isn't going to happen due to the fun setbacks that always happen. I am hopefully going to finish up the manifold while I am at Korman fri and sat this week so that I can put it on up in boone.

Any updates? Also, do you go to ASU right now? Obviously your name is asubimmer but the location being NC is throwing me off

I'm maybe looking to turbo my E30 this summer, I found this kit on ebay and I just posted a thread on the BF forced induction section to get opinions on it:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=018&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=280097205482&rd=1,1

It looks like a pretty good starting point, the only thing I need to figure out is what engine management system(s) to go with. I've seen a few guys running Mega Squirt and MSD for spark, the SMT-6, Tec3's, etc so I need to keep researching that. I also need to call around and see if there any shops that can help with tuning.

Let me know how the Mega Squirt system is because as of now that is up there on my list. Also, what are you running for ignition? You may have mentioned it but I skimmed the thread and might have missed it. Hope everything is going somewhat alright! DIY turbo kits always have a bundle of asspains as I'm sure you know..
