Thanks, easy And bether than the m#%## bolts that makes troubles.

BMW M3 parts

 

You'd be surprised how much room there is when you ditch the ac compressor, headlight mechanism and convert to MAF:



Your setup looks great Noah, keep up the great work and posts. I love following along.

Heres how I mounted my IC:

 

Oh, and are you keeping AC, why haven't you relocated your alternator?

 

Holy DarrenD!!

That piping and IC mounting is phenomenal. DELICIOUS. Yours is one of the real success stories.
Are use still using a SC?
I thought you might have split the scene.

-BTW- you can't just drop a bomb like that without posting more pics or posting a link to your build!

 

Midnight had to sort me out... I've been going at this "all wrong" he says. He's the brains behind Wilson Racing so I guess I'd better up my game to his standards.

He told me the solution is at the hanger. Where I messed up is trying to duplicate the 951 setup.
"You need to figure out that the strength of your design is in the turbo hanger". You need to figure out how to maximize the hanger to "tweek" the fitment of the turbo & related plumbing.



I installed the intake spacers and also slipped the turbo stainless plate next to the turbo to bring it forward, but those mods were enough.



So Midnight sketched out one option to adjust the angle of the dangle.

 

Noah,
do you think there's enough meat in the manifold to enlarge the M6 tapped holes for the TB to M8?

 

No there isn't (in my opinion). That would be sick if it was poss.

Completely agree with your earlier statements of brackets are required... it's just that until final position is 100% nail down... the brackets will be one of the last components.

I just came back for shopping for spherical ball ends to mount the turbo.

 

Made up these spherical rod end mounts in my never ending attempt to fit this darn turbo

 

I wanted to give you some fuel for your ideas. I no longer have the red car. I parted it out and bought an 86 turbo. The SC kit however , lives on. My brother has all the pieces and we are slowly building a new monster. It turns out my motor had been tweaked at some point and had very high compression. I broke the rings in 3 cylinders on the back straight at Mosport. I love my turbo, but damn its tough to work on. I love your posts and you inspire me to continue modding Noah. The red car truly broke my heart but it was a college course building it. Keep up the great work and the chronicles, if you're ever in the Toronto area, please let me know, I'd love to meet up.

 

Noah, that turbo mounting is truly fantastic.

 

I think this thread is cemented as the official response to "how do I turbo my NA 944?"

 

You can't! Didn't you remember??!?! You CAN'T, you have to buy a 951. Have you never been on a 944 forum???



You can't turbo an NA, but you CAN get yourself one of those new "Noah Wilson turbos". I've heard they look kinda like a 944.



Noah, I was thinking, you may want to make sure your taking measurements, and keeping a detailed list. Drawing blueprints and the like. I'm betting if you get this beast up and running you could sell a kit!! Make some of your investment back!

The parts wouldn't be hard, but most people can't Fab like you. Your...ummmm. fab-u-less at it!!!

 

Geez! Thanks for the compliment, but it seems to me that most of what I post is what isn't working.

 

Popped V2ROCKET's coolant elbow onto the front of the head in order to see the conflict with other pipes. There is a conflict, but someway some how we will correct it. Of secondary priority compared to that large intake/exhaust pipes.

Tested the oil feed to turbo bearing to see if the stainless line is long enough. It's perfect but I need to "clearance" the hanger to make it fit. Not a priority right now.

 

I have decided to run the exhaust to turbine feed via the FRONT....



TURBINE not turbin! What's Dustin Hoffman doing in a turbin anyway?






I know it's weird but this is essentially what I'm thinking is wrap the exhaust feed around to the front.
