Its not real... unless there is pics... lots of pics. :thumbsup:

Looking forward to your build.

How much boost?

What engine, exhaust mods will you do?

 

Dont worry, I wont let the grand i spent on the iphone x go to waste:hi:! Im gonna keep the boost low at first, 7 or 8 psi probably around 300-350 hp range. Then later on, when i can afford a new fuel system and forged internals, a e85 conversion on 13 psi, making 500 hp. With my exhaust, i will get a custom down pipe since its a top mount setup. It will go from down pipe, aftermarket resonator, x pipe, magnaflow muffler.

My plan for the oil and coolant lines are... My oil feed line will come from the vanos line, rally house sells a double banjo fitting for a supercharger but will work the same. Oil drain will go down to the top of the oil pan. My coolant feed will be coming from the coolant drain block on the side of the plug, and coolant return will go to the bleeder screw on the upper radiator hose.

 

I've never seen anyone use the bleeder screw before.....interesting idea.

Not saying it won't work....

 

Update...
I ordered a 10 microcon filter with 6 an fittings
Walbro 450 fuel pump (genuine)
Fuel pressure regulator

My plan is to go one step at a time. First i will install the new pump using the stock hanger, fuel pressure regulator, and fuel filter and drive around for couple of days to make sure everything is good. Then i will install the HPX or Audi maf (Havent decided on which one yet) and tuned ecu, drive normally. Then install turbo kit with new fuel injectors.

 

Everyone check out the google spread sheet created for items i used in post #1.

 

Why did you go Walbro? and not a Deatschworks or Bosch?

 

Walbro 400 LPH was only 100, compared to DW400 was 250. This is a daily car and is on a budget. The walbro is more than i need. So i probably wont be pushing more than 10 psi on e85 within a year. My personal plan is to daily it for a year, then in spring of 2019, purchase a 335i.

 

A good saving, for sure.:thumbup:

Where did you find a cast iron top mount manifold? 150 bucks for a fuel pump is not at all budget lol. I bought a $30 320lph eBay fuel pump that I’ve been running in my turbo 323 for a year with no issues at 14psi boost.

Also, not exactly budget but just smart buying, especially if you’re going E85; check out snakeeaterperformance injectors. 1500cc for 25 bucks each.

 

The volvo injectors , I wasnt able to find injector dead times for them , I did come up with some random numbers that seemed to work . but tbh I wouldnt trust them unless your info is legit.
And send a link for that cast iron top mount manifold id like to see that)))

Yeah, Im willing to bet he thinks its top mount lol
Thats the same thing that happened to me, I bought a cast iron manifold thinking it was top mount and I learned it wasnt when I tried putting it in. Ended up just making a top mount manifold myself

You can actually make it fit , but it would need a shape up. Which you can make to youre liking , and it would prolly fit better than cx racing manifold , because my hood literary sits on top of the cold side of my turbo , u can see a dent mark )))

 

Did this get finished?

 

Hey I couldn’t find your Instagram to follow the build but I’m definitely following the thread and yeah if you have pictures and links that’ll help
