Jared's 1987 635CSi

[EdgePerformance]

Here are the specs sorry it is listed like a for sale ad cause I was thinking about getting rid of it but not anymore... Not especially after driving Hondas, and tons of other cars recently and they fail to show a glimmer compared to my rough 635csi.

For those of you all that do not know me I go by AsphaltJungle on many other boards and just got back on DTMPower.net for the first time in years.

I am rethinking the turbo setup presently to include a T70 turbo instead of the K27 turbo or something else that is just larger then the k27's tiny size.

Paint and more custom insanity is coming in the next 6 months. and feel free to call me with any questions.

Thanks for posting this for me Defacto!

T70? You'll have to do something about that manifold first!

Can't wait to see what else is to come...

There are two easy options for me! Use the 745i turbo manifold and invert it and make an extender pipe or use the stock manifolds and make a custom adapter for a top mount. Either way this is what I want to do I hate bottom mounts.

No big thing to do either, thee is a few really good tig welders around here I know, or worst case i just go to Ohio and have a custom full manifold made from a guy I know.

Pics Link is updated in the new post, debating now on selling the turbo setup I have and going just with a MAF conversion from Miller Performance, or going turbo with the k27 then upgrading or just getting something insane.

Here's what you do, if you want to do a great setup. Ditch that dinky log manifold. The 745 and the TCD manifold are a joke for making power and having an efficient system. Talk to Andreas at PPF about getting yourself a nice tubular M30 header...they know how to do those. Get a B35 for super cheap at a junkyard...PnP the head, bigger valves, etc. The M30 really needs it. Put the head back on with ARP studs and an MLS gasket (VAC sells 'em). Have WebCams regrind you a nice turbo cam. Extrude hone B35 manifold. Buy Megasquirt II setup, run full fuel+spark and MAP. Buy turbo of choice (I'd go with a GT35R, personally). Get LWFW and a suitable clutch+PP. Fabricate, assemble, and tune. Bam, you have a quick spooling, very efficient, very powerful setup! And after all is said and done, just yank the B34 motor and sell it, along with all the other spare stuff you have around. The best part, if you and your friends can do most of the install+fab work, it really won't cost alot of money. Now go get some power!

accidentilly replied to you in email

Sorry to sound so grumpy, need some sleep I think...

I do have tons of connections and know about all the options i can do for a turbo setup. I already have a Built B35 head that has had all the performance work done to it ie shrick 282/282 cam, etc. If I do turbo the car I will use the 745 setup for now as I already have it, or else it will be up for sale, which is more likely VERY SOON! I need some different car, my 6er bores me to tears even though there are only a few around the region here, I just want something different. Nothing is going to come close to the performance of my bike for the money so cars have kinda lost their luster anymore for me except Porsches, some BMWs, and anything fuel efficient. Thus why i was considering a 99.5 Jetta TDI 5-speed since gas just hit $2.45 a gallon today for crap gas $2.64 for premium.

around or more then 50mpg is real tempting right now. If not I am looking at a small truck so I can haul all this crap I buy and sell, and my bike.
