S38 built by VAC motorsport. :drool:
Dry sump and high comp :drool: hope it has a sequential box. Sounds like a beautiful dream.

This is my favorite t shirt in existence. -
should have zero slag, as they SHOULD us a tig.

Lots of pumps available for this type of system, ranging from 75$ to 200ish for a good one. Scavenge pumps.

All turbo manufactures have specs for oil pressure. Very very different oil needs for journal bearing and ball bearing systems. Running a separate tank with a ball bearing system can be very beneficial, as you can run lighter oil, for more efficient operation and faster transient response, as you often need quite a thick oil with a high output turbocharged engine.

So you need a clutch master for that Tilton TOB unit, which acts as a slave. Why are there two hydraulic ports on the tilton unit? I would have expected just 1
One for bleeding, at least thats how it is on my evo

I know, just buy a port injection kit and disconnect the direction injection
Why convert to port injection when you've already got it all figured out? But seriously, for straight line power this is all you need. The problem is, single turbo setups weren't readily available or dialed in (tunes, fuel, etc) until recently. You need to add a fuel system (port injection, upgraded LPFP) to your list, but that is pretty much my plan once my stock twins give up. Most people are fine on stock motor until 800whp+. Anything above that seems to develop a problem with headgasket, piston rings, etc.
Would only convert to standalone and port injection if swapping into an e30 for example, otherwise, the wiring is HEAVY on the complicated side haha. Thats why I was talking about it. Chances are slim that I would want a 135i, well maybe when I get old, or they get cheaper.

You buy a 135i to have a well buttoned-together performance car.
It has already been raped beyond being well buttoned-together anymore and would be a spendy platform for a track rat compared to a cheaper more disposable/replaceable chassis.
The world needs more N54 swapped 80's and 90's cars
I guess we all have different goals. If I were to buy a 135I, it would get a large single turbo, LSD, nice coilovers and sticky tires, and be an epic daily driver.

Yes I see that, but I'm saying Completely get rid of the direct injection. That shit is just parallel to stock ecu. Only standalone ecu's that can handle the n54 direct injection are syvecs and I'm not a millionaire haha
-
really wish I could convert an n54 to port injection and run a normal standalone. They are very interesting engines.
-
Am I the only one that thinks that 135 could easily be fixed??!?

No boost this time?

you will be SO much happier with the fortune auto's. Blessing in disguise man! Night and day difference from BC.

Took my first log last night. The car won't make over 15psi because of the shitty turbos. The wastegate flapper won't stay shut and allow them to build proper boost.
Overall, pretty disappointed. The car still pulls pretty good, but this sucks. Upgraded twins or bigger single...
On that note we should still run this weekend LOL. Sorry to hear about the turbos tho, but thats not the worst thing. Just motivation to make it better!

I'm always down. Which car?
m20 turbo e30. Currently around 300whp but I'm only at 70% IDC at 12psi so I have a bit to go. Thats why I want to run AFTER I dyno haha. Wouldn't be much of a race now!

I have a dyno appointment scheduled for April 22nd.
Right now, I'd guess 475whp/525wtq and 3300lbs.
After I get on a dyno we should run!! It would be a very close.
-
Roughly how much power is this thing making now? and how much does it weigh?
-
I also have capabilities to turn this around quickly as well, and I'm sure no one can beat my prices. But I understand Jeff got first dibs. Just putting this out there if he might not have time etc.

First I have a soft spot for the old Nova. I'd have to have it all black with a 572 big block (twin turbo of course
.
Second would be the GTR.. they are just nasty tuned and look pretty cool IMO.
But with all that said I'd like to get my hands on a newer M5.

Good choices! Id drive em all.

but don't worry guys, in the end my evo sits outside and my bmw's are forever well taken care of. They won't lose there position, I just had another void I needed to fill.
-
honestly tho, around 3 hours and I had the thing completely taken apart, and this was outside, birds chirping, while drinking beer on a Saturday, in march, with a t shirt. It was freaking great.

4 active posters on here and the only thing you guys have to post about is a broken mitsu turd haha.
Spun a rod bearing first time driving it more or less. Retard who assembled the block didn't check the main clearances, just believing that the manley crank was good because it was new. They were all over the place.
Oh well. At least it happened under zero load, and everything is just fine. sending the crank out tomorrow for grinding and re-nitriding, and same with the rods. Block is perfect, and so are the bores. Machine work was good, just a stupid PO who assembled. it.
He also put the floater plate on the QM twin disc on backwards LOL. Which is amazing to me, how do you buy a new clutch like that and install it wrong? Its literally brand new, looks like it never had a single pull done.Give me another couple weeks and hopefully all is well!

Is this for a specific engine? CLearly not an m50, as that was just hypothetical correct?
