My Turbo E320 project, the beginning
 

I got all the parts, now i just gotta weld it together. Heres the start of the turbo manifold which I'll have it done this weekend. Next week? Downpipes and Oil lines(If they ever show up :mad:) :D

Much more coming soon.(TiAL 38mm, #30 injectors, 5.0 bar fpr and oil line install)

The 38mm TiAL wastegate is too small for your application. Go for the 44MM. Get bigger injectors unless your going to run the stock ECU. How much boost and/or horsepower are you going for?

I want 7 psi initially and in the lower 300's on power at the wheels

The mechanic at star imports said a head shim would lower the compression to around 8.7:1 but he didnt tell me which size .060 or .075"

310cc Injectors and fpr are going in last

good start,
were are you geting the 5 bar fpr?
is it going to fit the standard fuel rail?
7psi on the standard compression shouldnt be an issue, and will produce a good amount of torque :cool:

1. Ebay, Nuespeed 5.0 bar fpr
2. Yes
3. Lets hope :D

Yes i know its supposedly inefficient but after driving a 450hp teg with one i think i can survive. So i present my big log. Its was ovaled, coned, welded a while back just gotta find the cams memory. :D
Thats a junk M104 head i got to borrow from Star Imports, the local mercedes repair shop around here.

Logs are a little restrictive however, your tubing is nice and big. I'd say your lookin good!
