M20 Turbo => M50 turbo fun.

[Earl]

Buy that one for $180. That's a steal and it's good quality and just needs to be bolted on. Then you can buy my 38mm wastegate too=D

[Rowleym]

lol. Thanks for convincing me. I will pick it up hopefully. Trying to get it for 150 haha. How much for the wastegate?

[Earl]

It's brand new in the box, never mounted. It's a Tial. So the best of the best quality. Looking for $220 since they're about $250 new.

[Rowleym]

What lb spring in it?

[Earl]

I forget

I think it is an 11 or 12

I can try to figure it out

[240sxguy]

Is that the tial MVS? 220 is a good price.

[Brian.]

Spring shouldn't matter. They're cheap

[Rowleym]

Yea I guess. But it's a convenience thing haha. Should I buy a new clutch or arps first?

[Rowleym]

No one have interest in oring-ing their blocks?

[Earl]

I would o ring mine maybe just for the hell of it. Lol and springs are stupid cheap;)

[REKIII]

I o-ringed a neon block once. Problem with oringing is you need to be very careful what head gasket you use. Many of the modern MLS headgaskets wont work with o-rings and are actually better than an o-ring/alternate gasket set up.

[240sxguy]

I agree with REKIII, I wouldn't o-ring just for fun. I am not familiar with the bmw motors and boost, but my experience with other I6s has been good with just head studs. I run a stock head gasket on my rb25det.

[Earl]

I has m42 that will probably get charged via cooper s charger.

[Rowleym]

Well I already bought a new gasket that is supposedly perfect for o-ringing my motor. People use the stock head gasket, or a replacement of it, and oring the block with mig wire. With .08-.1 protrusions I'm pretty sure. Know any good machine shops? And cheap ones? Lol.

[REKIII]

Good ones - Kilpatrick Engine in Waukesha......cheap ones? no.

[Earl]

Pm me if you're interested in the wastegate;)

[Rowleym]

Bought the manifold! Might be interested in that pretty soon.

[Rowleym]

Any advice on pulling the engine and trans together? Hopefully getting that done today. And then getting the bay ready to paint. Good fun!

[Rowleym]

Well, I'm getting confirmed today. Hopefully getting some cash. Lol. Also, bought a stage 4 f1 racing clutch lol. Trying to buy some arp's from this dude on the forum. Hopefully it goes through. Didn't pull the engine today. Decided to finish building my megasquirt and wasted spark setup.

[Rowleym]

Dude sold the studs on me. Dammit! Anyway, decided to go with a 1g dsm BOV hahah. Supposedly they are actually good, and cheap as piss. Probably try and piece together an intercooler from some dsm dude. Worked on the diypnp for a few hours today. I'm gonna finish it up hopefully before it snows, so I can learn how to tune without a turbo.
