    Not trying to thread jack OP I'm also not sure if it's against the rules to link another forum but here goes...

    Rules? What rules? :rolleyes: We're all about spreading the knowledge, thanks for sharing the links. Those are impressive numbers. Would like to see some videos of those cars in action.

              Im totally not against m20's in anyway, and I'm totally open to constructive thread jacking. Thanks funny. I had an hx35 12cm and literally everything else to turbo my m20, but for some reason, I went m50. I think basically because for the future, I want to be making big power, and I think that the m50nv is a pretty good base to start? I also like higher revving engines. Welding my head+Oring was over 400$ at my machine shop. Not only that, but I had to pull the engine anyway, so why not buy an m50 for 300$? All i have to do is arps, and mls for a decent 400. I dont know. I'm not saying anyone was right or wrong.

                A LOT of other stuff goes with putting in a turbo, I have a pretty good link selection going on right now for all the feed lines, oil blocks, return lines, fittings, injectors, all kinds of crazy freaking suff.

                If you have any questions with the swap or anything else for that matter do let me know, I have done it a few times now ;)

                  The only thing i have left to buy is intercooler piping, oil feed(I have the fittings), do i need to relocate the oil filter? Most people did with m20's. And i have to hook up my oil cooler. Thats about it. and buy mounts and stuff.. I will definitely let you know though

                      No I have 42lbers. Anyways. Little update I guess? I've been finishing up my Volkswagen recently, and tearing into my father son project. We pulled the tub off the frame in the cj7, looking to buy a YJ tub, powder coat the frame, run new brake lines/fuel lines, rebuild the brakes, add about a 3 inch lift with some fender flares to hopefully put some 35's or maybe 33's. Re-ring and bearings for the AMC 360 coming in, carb rebuild(that was a first for me) and I guess that's about it? I will be finishing the heap before I put time into the bimmer. I have lots of time for the bimmer, but My father and I are taking a trip to Colorado camping when I graduate so I want this bitch to be done. That is all.

                        Little update. Sold the DIYPNP and wasted spark setup in like 10 hours. Bought ms3x with Jim stim and 80# Injectors. I'll be running cop on the m50 with sequential injection. Me gusta e85

                          Are you encountering any other M50 turbo guys running injectors that size? you must be shooting for 500-600hp, no?

                            Haha I wish. I'm actually just shooting for around 400, but I'm using e85, so I need around 30% more fuel!

                              Gotcha. I am not too savvy with cornfuel but what you said makes sense based on its energy concentration in relation to the good ol' stuff.

                                          Anyone know of a fuel pump set up that I could use to flow enough? I only have 1 Walbro 255 and I don't think it will be enough.
