If this works within budget I will convert from Christianity to Danny707ism.

And then I will demand a bible, detailing exactly what I need to buy and how to rig it all up.

lol yeah, this has me so interested. I like the idea of a low-boost option without any real tuning needed, and would be safe for a stock motor.

I can afford ~$1000 easily. It'd be so worth it if it works out! Get some power. Maintain reliability. Life is good.

Haha, thank you! I've only spent maybe 700 bucks so far.

Thats the plan!

I'm going to run just a little rich and sacrifice a few MPGs in order to make sure I don't detonate.

have any of you been on the dyno to see what power you make on 7psi and what are you using to adjust timing and fuel and are you using the factory afm?

Stock ECU for timing, RRFPR for fuel and yes.

7psi should be ~175whp

it's more like 185whp

Awesome.

Hey are you running your AFM after your turbo?

Do you have any tuning software or is it stock ecu?

afm after turbo and no tune for 8psi ... 1 deg colder plugs... Actulay the computer is not even fully retarted at 8psi witch is realy wierd ... I have gone to 10 psi and it didnt throw a knock sensor code and I was under fueling.. It makes me wonder how much we can go on the stock tune

There are about 14 ways to find out

180rwhp on stcok tune and 7psi thats pretty decent so my car with standalone and 18-20psi should be well over 300hp then?? i havent been on the dyno yet im putting my engine together this weekend hopfully will be up and running again and straight to the dyno to find out for sure ill post pics and video for sure.

Gauge pod in check panel place:

Relocated the coilpacks:

Boosted E30 · « **Reply #27 on:** November 20, 2008, 09:56:13 PM »

had the same idea for my gauges but i put them infront of the shifter instead looks good though

So this little fitting I need won't be here till tuesday.

I guess thats what you get for free shipping.

The project will move in steps now however and will allow us to focus more on each thing rather than slapping it all together at once.

Bang, i really want to do this too. Time to start saving...
What was the turbo out of? I'm always seeing these oddball turbo cars in the Junkyard. i need to start grabbing parts off them if I knew exactly what to get. I need to learn more about the details.
