So I'm trying to follow all this and a lot of it is new to me. I'm interested in budget building as well and am willing to take some time and collect the parts I'll need.

Any way of putting together a "shopping list" of essential parts and the cars they come from etc? Mitsu or Volvo turbo or Isuzu intercooler etc.

I see you are testing various parts so I assume things can always be improved down the line. Great info so far, I'm also looking at the thread on the bottom mount turbo option.

And I can't tell how close or far you are from your goals:
"7 psi under a grand.
~175whp without pulling the motor.
Done in a weekend."

Well let me think.

A list:
Tc05-12a from a Mitsu Starion(Any Volvo 740 turbo will work as well as any small turbo)
M50 manifold fipped and cut with welded on up-pipe.
Flex pipe for down pipe
Down pipe w/ flanges from a Volvo 740 turbo
Magnaflow Muffler
Cartech/Begi RRFPR/FMU
Universal Intercooler piping (Ebay)
GOOD hose clamps (Home depot)
Intercooler (PNP/Craigslist/Ebay)
Various lines and fittings for oil and coolant and vacuum (Kragen/Ebay/Summit Racing)
300cc injectors (From a turbo 740, green tops)
Boost Gauge
A/F gauge
Diverter/Blow off valve (Ebay)
Grinding wheels
Welding wire
Lots of sweat and blood
Really knowledgeable friends
A little extra money because things WILL go wrong and you WILL be making late night trips to Kragen/Autozone.
PATIENCE

As for the goals, we did it in 3 days, give or take.
I'm afraid to add up the total because it may be a little over a grand esp. with the last minute things I needed, but I know its close.
And the 175whp... That'll have to wait till I get it dyno'd

I really do appreciate it. I had some of those things in mind as I've read through things.
I'm going to see how many Volvo 740 turbos I can rape for parts as it looks I may just need one or two good donors in the PNP.

Volvo turbos have internal WG too correct? So all "management" is done with RRFPR and stock computer? We've got no knock sensors so I guess we are just relying on the forged bottom end to take the stress.

So welding is necessary right? Only for the manifold? I need to get some more friends...

Yeah PnP always has tons of donors.

Thats correct, as long as you stay a little rich and don't over do the boost you won't knock.

I accidently hit 10psi when I was fucking around with some settings and still didn't knock.

You could get the welding done at a welding shop for cheap, it won't take them long.

Danny, you just made me push back getting my wheels and push up installing the turbo... shame on you.

Thanks for that shopping list as well.

For sure!

And to the pan

Oil feed

Intercooler shit

RRFPR, not yet mounted.

Exhaust shit

Needs hangers.

ludiagsm · « **Reply #146 on:** January 22, 2009, 04:58:42 PM »

Hey man your oil feed is wrong ,dont take oil from that place because that oil is dirty you teke it just before oil filter.You must take clean oil after the oil filter,take it from the oil lamp sender place, use T fitting and everything will be fine

Boosted E30 · « **Reply #147 on:** January 22, 2009, 06:53:10 PM »

ya just make a "T" off of the oil pressure switch

bearsbmw · « **Reply #148 on:** January 22, 2009, 07:02:34 PM »

lol unfilterd oil will not hurt your turbo at all... check and remove your hose and blow it out with compressor once a year to keep it free of crude and build up ... running a filterd setup with still produce oil sludge build up over time
