take away the tec3 and the entire kit sits right at 4458.65

in my opinion a pretty good price for full kit which still includes a clutch kit, full exhaust, gauges and all SS lines and great quality parts that can make over 400 hp.





and now for the pictures







All going on this dirty baby

I wondered about mixmatching spark plugs....don't you suspect any problems? Why not just run all the same plugs?

im not mixmatching.. i got 2 sets.. 1 step colder 7 series and 2 step colder 8 series so when i go get tuned i can try both sets out with various gaps from .28 - .32 and see what best works for me.

they say for every 100 hp go one step colder than stock.. well my goal is 400 hp and thast over 100 but not quite 200 hp over stock so i just got both sets and wil try 7 series first and if i need to ill take them out and try the 8 series..

once i find the heat range plug i like and proper gap i wil drop some money on the Denso iridium plus in whatever heat range i need.

nice setup and good luck. Are you installing all your self?

[CosmoE36]

i will have a few friends with welders help me out if posible when mocking up the intercooler piping and downpipe and exhaust piping. so not entirely bymyself ill have help

[m3j0n]

NICE!! great job! thanks for the write up! keep us posted on the progress.

[RRdawho?]

Nice setup.

How much space is there between your dump pipe and the area where your downpipe is supposed to be? I know w/ my GT35R there is almost NO space between them. Its gonna be a close fit.

[RRdawho?]

Also,

Are you planning to run stock compression?

[fritzintn]

I think your oil drain is a bit too short .

yea its kinda close but i know it will fit with the DP.. i might not be able to go with the 4 bolt to V band adapter flange and just go wiht a standard 4 bolt flange we shall see.

and yes planning on stock compression. id like to see where i get with this setup first before i start tearing apart the motor..

I think your oil drain is a bit too short .

figured someone would catch that lol

i am definately cutting the line shorter when i test fit the turbo on a mock up motor with oil pan i was just foolin around with that -10an hose end fitting on the end of the drain line because one hose end is earls and the other is russels and i wanted to see how much harder one was over the other to thread onto the SS line. turns out its about the same hardness i stil got blisters on my hands lol

tuning? tuning? tuning? tuning?

u kno thats what we want to kno

[RRdawho?]

What is the Diameter of the 4 Bolt? 2.5 so it fits the SPA Downpipe or larger?

[CosmoE36]

u kno thats what we want to kno

im really leaning towards the PnP E manange ultimate offered by MA right now but i came across a great deal on a AEM 1050U box from a honda friend of mine for 1000 dollars barely used.. so all i would need is a C2DI box and custom harness form the 1050 box to the 88pin DME ive been talking to someone about making the harness for me and setting the 1050U box for me with a flat price

and with everything i have priced together for the AEM setup going my route i am saving a considerable amoutn of money over the evosport kit (not saying its bad) im just always open to cheaper alternatives even if it takes me longer to get there because if i had the money right now i would get the evosport kit no doubt..

tec3 is still in the air.. has a great pric for their PnP kit from Sias tuning so those are my 3 options..

What is the Diameter of the 4 Bolt? 2.5 so it fits the SPA Downpipe or larger?

well there are 2 types of 4 bolt turbos. ones with 2.5 in outlet and ones with 3 inch outlet

i have the 2.5 in outlet yes the SPA downpipe would have fit perfectly but its 2.5 in all teh way out.. i want a DP that is 3 inches all the way from the flange..

[Bm3R]

nice, how much have you spent so far?

that would be great if you listed where you bought each peice for the kit

[CosmoE36]

updated my first post for your request.

it was at this point i just realized and noticed my magical paper with price list with everything i had planned out and marked as gotten and not gotten yet.

i must have left at barnett performance wen i left.

[byron]

keep it up, cannot wait to see how it comes out. i too am slowly collecting the parts for my car

[RRdawho?]

Similar setup to mine except mine has thicker headgasket, arp bolts, new exhaust manifold studs and nuts, bigger turbo and a cartech engine mount. I changed the valve cover gasket, spark plug gaskets and stuff too while I was in there.

What kind of power gains are you aiming for? How do u plan on doing the intake side w/ the stock engine mount? Oh and bolting on the SPA manifold is going to be a B*TCH with the head on. It was already time consuming with it off

Good luck!

i forgot to mention i am purchasing the BOOST LOGIC motor mount that clears 4 inch intakes.. only 150 bux..

or i might have techno550 fab me up one for a price ifs he up to it since hes local he does great work.


i just picked up a new oil pan gasket so when i take the pan off to tap for return line ill have a new gasket there..

i always make trips to my local stealer for little things like gaskets i just didnt mention them in my prices lol figured they were minimal and a give in.

[RRdawho?]

They do add up, trust me

[Julz69]

Keep a tally of your costs please. I want to know how much DIY's are dishing out for these turbo kits.

i did look at my first post..

i did NOT include any costs on gaskets and such mainly because when you buy off the shelf kits you dont get any of that stuff either..

also i included price of clutch, PP and flywheel kit but that should NOT be tallied into the cost of what i have spent for the turbo kit because as i said before i dont see any other Turbo kit out there that includes a full clutch kit as well.. AA, TT, TSI, Boostlogic, MA ect.. none of them include clutch kits so why should i u know lol

[RJ's325ITS]

I seeeeeee you.

So this time you are going to get the " 0 BOOST " in the E46 M3.

Congrats

Nice Kit

[328iJunkie]

Nice setup dude... You gotta let me check it out sometime... I live in duluth... lived in norcross for a while... i graduated from GACS if you know where that is...

[e36widelip]

Nice to know you bought some of your things from kinetic.

Kinetic Motosports is just a skip and a hop away from where I live.

That's where I got most of my stuff. I know the shop owner.
Shawn. He's a great guy and knows his stuff.

In the first picture of this thread their is a line coming off the turbo going towards the top of the picture (the thin one), is it the oil feed? And why is the oil drain hose so long? And where are you going to tap in for an oil feed? Sorry im a newb. thanks
