Low budget B35 turbo (also M50B25 turbo)

Post by TotiTurbo »

Hi,

I recently made this thing, low budget and low ambition :laugh:

It's a 1989 M30B35
~100k miles
Getrag 260/6
ARP studs
Stock headgasket
~890cc Siemens deka injectors
BW KKK K27.2 twin scroll from a Mercedes OM906 truck engine
50mm wastegate
50mm bov
Homemade twinscroll turbo adapter
Perfectpower XMS3 standalone :puke:

Started out slowly at 0.35bar (5psi) but got bored with that in 3 days and am now running at ~1bar (14-15psi) and it really hauls ass :D

Yes those are paint cans taped together for an air intake :laugh: the paint can has now been attached to the turbo with a paint can-to-turbo silicone coupler :laugh:

Got more details as to how you have arrived at this point? It seems that you have quite a setup there, so what are your plans going forward?

Edit: Found your turbo thread. So do you plan to do more drifting events then?

Is your exhaust pipe a drive shaft? If so, subscribed.

Based on my sales to drift customers, it seems like it's more popular than ever.

Just keep parting the drift fools from their Benjamins.

We don't need narrow minded old men in the forced induction section. Take your condescending bullshit elsewhere. Pathetic behavior really.

The exhaust manifold collector looks like it took some work and came out well. Not sure why you pretended that mandrel bends didn't exist for the intake and up-pipe... Although I got one hell of a chuckle when I saw the u joint on the exhaust piping. But hey, it goes fast so party on!

Ordered one of those Athena cooperring headgaskets so next time I will probably bend a rod or something :D

And I'm also building another shell with a rollcage to put the m30 in

The rusty brown thing is now powered by a OM602 Mercedes turbo diesel +6 speed just so I can move it around :roll:

M30 killed a rod bearing, so that's been put on hold for a while :lol:

Meanwhile the rusty brown turd is no longer diesel powered, threw in a m50b25 nv with an holset hx35 :D (6th engine I have swapped into this car)
