I will post pics. I don’t have photobucket and flicker any more. They want to charge for my pics. Any other site I can post pics?Philo wrote:Would love to see this build
Thanks.
Re: S38b36 turbo
I'll be following this as I'm tempted to turbo mine as well. Is the engine already in the e30? I not, I'd focus on that hurdle first then see what kind of room you have left...it won't be much.

Re: S38b36 turbo
I have ben ordering turbo parts for the s38. I do have a PPF turbo manifold. I need to modify Hartge H35-24 oil pan for oil return. No the motor is not in my red e30 m3. There is room for turbo install.
Re: S38b36 turbo
Any updates ? Where's the pics !!

Re: S38b36 turbo
My advice would be to make sure you get the best tuning available. Use a good stand alone engine management that your tuner is experienced with. These motors are hard to find and not cheap, a tune can make or break a engine. I would also do forged connecting rods and pistons so you can turn it up safely. Excited to see what you do, good luck!
Re: S38b36 turbo
I wish the OP would update this thread with progress, that E30 FB site sucks donkey b*lls.., from a navigational standpoint that is.

I’m going to use mega squirt II. I have to look into who can tune professionally. I was only planning to boost low for now.
