How many are you gonna be making??

What did you use to weld the tubing together?? (MIG, TIG, stick, etc.)

Will there be a buy it now button?

i have never done a turbo and was thinking of doing it and wanting to know what all do you have to do after installing it like tuneing and wat not can you just put it on and hook it all up and ready to drive?

I like this thread. It is fun.

That looks like a nice piece, worth the price.
G&T, are you building an M42? or is this just a side project?
Whatever you are building now good luck, your m10 was my favorite e30.

Thanks, I am making just a few to fund my M30 turbo build. The M10 was my favorite also, I will build another.

They look like nice pieces of kit.
How much are looking at selling them for?

Do you need to remove the coil pack to fit them and the turbo?

Cristian

They are $500 shipped within the USA and $580 shipped overseas. The coil packs will need to be relocated.

The fender does not need to be modified like it is in the pic.

So I guess fitting an E36 is a no go then?

they look fantastic, what is the coating on them?

pipe size ?

by the looks of them they are a t3 flange?

also are the machined flat after welding?

Sorry will not fit the E36.

Thanks, it's a 1200 degree coating that is baked on.
The pipe size is 1"1/4 schedule 40 with a T3 flange, both flanges are 1/2" thick.
They are made on a jig so no need for machining, the flange is straight.

No problem with the questions ask away, I am here to offer you guys a great manifold at a great price.

Nice Turbo!! Do you plan to make manifolds that could fit E36 cars?

Can you fabricate the piping? Might as well put a whole kit together!

Thanks, just making them for the E30, Neukin makes a bottom mount for the E36.

I decided to just make the manifold for the DIY person, so many options for intercooler and turbo.

You'll probably have to go for something like MegaSquirt to tune it properly.

Awesome looking manifolds mate, gives me very naughty ideas for my M42 touring project ;)
