Holy crap turbo is bigger than I expected..

[Jon K]

I receive my actual unit on Monday, but my buddy sent me this pic of his Holset H1E (same model I ordered) on an M20 (2.7Li). I am really anticipating this thing now... but holy crap this is like 3x larger than I had imagined it'd be...

but that's never a bad thing!!!!

wow, that is huge lol...its gunna be a monster!

[Alexlind123]

wow...how will it ever fit? lol!

[winfred]

told ya it was gonna be big, the same hair drier will make a 5.9 diesel push around 330 hp and 750 foot pounds of torque, that would be a stock 215hp/440lb motor with a 10# cam plate, air filter and a 4" exhaust, it would need a about a $600 to hold that and be be good till around 450/950 with a bigger turbo/injectors :D

Yeah on the gasoline M20 they're making 420 - 450whp no problem on "low" boost of 18 psi. This is going to be absolutely ridiculous!

meeee wanty (http://www.homeontheroad.org/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/48/products_id/562)

I like that one - looks like a 4" intake with anti surge on the big guy.

Darn! What is the turbo lag gonna be like? This reminds me of Porsche 930 turbo... in early 80's...

[Kalevera]

Mine showed up yesterday. I couldn't wipe the grin off of my face. This thing is huge!

best, whit

[Jon K]

On an M20 they lag making full boost at 4000 or so

on an M50 with 24v it should be a little lower, im happy with 3500 - 3800

[Tiger]

4000 RPM?! Whoa... Porsche 930 Turbo effect.

[Paul in NZ]

4000 RPM?! Whoa... Porsche 930 Turbo effect
shouldnt that be

4000 RPM?! WOOOOW!!... Porsche 930 Turbo effect

[Tiger]

I am not sure... it is more like ahh... not that great and then boom! What the heck? Whoaaaaaaa!

[Alan_525i]

That thing is enourmous. Where the hell are you putting it?

[Torque]

Reroute to Kentucky please. :)

That will be a monster.

Top mount :) It'll take care of keeping dust out of the back of my headlights :)

[genphreak]

Better watch out, it might melt the rocker cover, burn the hoodliner, melt the ebox and headlight liner, put a heat spot on the hood... man its just huge.

And to think, I'd be happy with 6lb of boost... that is just filth.

(cries) Nick

[Jon K]

the Ebox is well far enough away from it not to worry.. it will be mounted low enough to not worry about the heat. If need be I will fix some aluminum sheet metal to the underside of the hood but I am not sure I will need to

[Jon K]

Reroute to Kentucky please. :)

That will be a monster.



Its funny you say that!

crystal meth for the M20 ........ it'll be a fu%#$ck of alot of fun while it lasts ....

[genphreak]

Nice work that. How much are a pair of manifolds like that worth?

I run an M30 and am contemplating a hell of a time fitting a 745 manifold (round the wrong way, so the snail sits above it at the front of the engine) due to my steering box getting in the way at the he back (RHD car).

... but that's a real clean looking setup you are doing.

Even with a custom manifold I would want to get the turbo down low at the front (I only want a baby one- a T-04 or 5 will do). With one like this I'd have the luxury of being able to route the intercooler pipes somewhat discretely: ie not run the output pipe over the top and instead do it 'Alpina style' (ie feed into the stock M30 intake (modifeid to take air from the Left side), pretty much like the way the stock intake on an M50 does it- all down the LH side.

So the turbo will feed the cooler low down at the front right corner of the bay and the cooler in turn feeds the intake via the Left side. It means a bit more piping but does not require so much insulation and makes for cooler intake temps when driving in traffic (I hope)

Who made your manifolds? They've done a fantastic job, perhaps the result of some strong hallucinogen? :) Nick

One thing you need to consider is changing the plugs, get the location wrong and its a weekend job to do them! also, you want to be careful where you put the wastgate (for similar reasons). Problem of heat should be alright with appropriate thermal sheilds etc. On my M30 turbo, my manifold is very close to the steering box, so much so that that side is shimmed slightly on the mount. The wastegate was originally up top but was moved to under the AC compresser as you could not get to the plugs.

Turbo looks sick! I reckon it WILL be like an on off switch, power wil hit and the rear will let loose in 2nd 3rd, forget trying to modulate the power, especially if your using a smaller stock type throttle body. I'll be watching this one, should be crazy!! What CR are you planning on running?

Good luck.

Good luck.


As low as the VAC MLS gasket will take a M50 non vanos... so like 8.5 or 8.7:1
