Single Turbo 335i with just a 3.5" downpipe

Roy Cormier · 05-10-2013, 09:57 PM

Sounds like crap, my muffler hasn't been delivered yet and I have a few exhaust leaks to fix. But after working on the car since last Sunday, I needed to hear it run again. I'm sure the neighbors hate me even more after this one.

That turbo looks SICK!!!!

Beemw335 · 05-10-2013, 10:18 PM

Very nice, you should make a build thread on e90post!

SneakyDeeky · 05-10-2013, 10:20 PM

Woah! That's some serious fabrication work.

Tunerhead · 05-10-2013, 10:22 PM

Looks good man!

Datsik · 05-10-2013, 10:28 PM

Cool idea, but why not just put a 2JZ in it?

Is that loud clicking normal?

Sounds like a leak to me, as stated by the OP.

Roy Cormier · 05-11-2013, 12:03 AM

Correct, the exhaust ticking is mostly due to the fact that I haven't welded the inserts into the header flanges yet, they extend into the head and seal with carbon rings. I could feel the exhaust leaks from there. The other ticking which has a slightly different tone is from the DI injectors.

onesuperboi · 05-11-2013, 12:16 AM

Can you make another kit for me?

Looks and sounds good!

I'm making a jig for all the parts, but since this one was a PITA to build, I haven't decided if I'd want to build anymore. Maybe just the headers so people could DIY from there.

so awesome can't wait for you to finish!!!

Eric335 · 05-11-2013, 12:40 AM

Loving the top mount, cant wait to see it running completely again

JDane07 · 05-11-2013, 12:43 AM

What are you expecting as far as power output is concerned?

Roy Cormier · 05-11-2013, 12:59 AM

My main goal for now was to replace the stock turbos that smoked, i don't want to be the first to blow one up since this is my DD, so I'll watch the HP/TQ progress of others and turn it up from there. I still need to test out my ideas on tuning with the external WG.

creaminz · 05-11-2013, 01:36 AM

Some people on this forum amazes me...awesome work!

skate_E92 · 05-11-2013, 10:49 AM
