ya, sorry.  i fail.

i havnt touched the car since like feb or march.  im expanding the shop and things are crazy right now.  i will be pulling the motor to build a more efficient manifold as soon as i get a chance and project will go on.  i promise.

car just came up for smog too so after i pull the motor i will probably put in a stock one and get it through smog first too.

Im interested to see someone try a .140 MLS gasket.
6 cylinder e36 people love them and are making 450whp at 16psi out of a 3.0
I quess leaking around the profile gasket is a problem in an m42 as prevoiusly stated. But that could be remedied

Heres a guy on BFC. Obviously its hard on the motor running such high boost but I wonder what size gasket hes using?
Im thinking of a .140 one for my car just to try it. There not too expensive, it'd be a pain to have to change the gasket again though.
Someone needs to do more testing with one.  You can get 9.1:1 with just a gasket and the bottom end is pretty strong.
I plan on running VEMS EMS, Holset HX35 turbo, .140 HG and APR Studs.
Id like to get around 15psi. 300ish Whp

todd,

is MS running fuel, spark, and boost? could you setup a MSPnP for me to also incorporate a knock sensor? MAP sensor?

MS is run on a MAP sensor, you delete your AFM completely. MS handles fuel and spark. Boost is handled by your wastegate, unless you have some sort of electronic boost controller, yada yada.

Not my first turbo rodeo, but thanks for your input. former WRX owner here. it just appeared in the pictures that he was running a manual boost controller, but i read matt325is write-up on using the typhoon controller, not sure if he was capable of putting that in a MSPnP for me. It's also a little vague in his posts to whether he's running a knock sensor or not. Here's a spy-tip for you, i joined this forum before you, but only have 10 posts; I read a lot.

After further reading, i found the MAP Daddy 4bar setup on diyautotune.com

I'm curious to know if that location on the oil pan ended up working for the return line? You've got a very impressive setup todd, i'm in NorCal and would love to come by the shop someday.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic in my last post, just fyi.

But Todd's shop is actually way down south.

okay kid, you're officially on quiet time!

I know where his shop is okay, he didn't mention it being in cali; i found it on the Contact Us tab of the dynotech web page and google mapped it. Just like i know you're in Vacaville, maybe i'll come see you someday; i'm stationed at Travis AFB.

Very impressed with the build Todd.

Your Ms is making me reconsider my plans for a rrfp.

Looking forward to the update ;)

We run an E30 Turbo M42 in BMW club racing.  Those layered metal head gaskets aren't that great.  They look good but in our experience they didn't work as well as the stock head gaskets.  We run the stock M44 head gasket.  As I'm sure you know, turbo motors give you the opportunity to learn a lot about head gaskets.  IMHO I would go with the stock gasket and save that extra money for a spare stock head gasket.

Regarding this build thread, it would be interesting to see some dyno results.  We used a Dyno Dynamics which is a steady state dyno and allows tuning with partial throttle.  What ECU are you running?
