Received the rest of the piping...I'm almost done test fitting all the pipes :)


The routing is all figured out, all fits well and hood closes very well.


Turbo side piping is done and no problem I can keep my electric Power steering :)

All thats missing is joining the pipe that goes from one end to another it will be right behind the intercooler I will weld some hooks to mount the 3" feet pipe..


I'm having lots of fun building this...and at the same time I'm affraid how crazy  powerful this car is going to be it was a beast with 10 PSI of supercharged boost now with 20PSI of supercharger and turbo together cant wait!!

Stay tuned lots more coming....

 Piping is almost done for new intercooler...



Ordered more tubing should be here soon. You can see the blow off valve that will make sure the turbo can release its boost.


This front mount is 2.5 X times bigger then my small underhood one.
This plus water meth injection should keep the twincharged boost heat at bay...

FEDEX just dropped 2 BIG boxes that weight 65 pounds... :)


I was very excited to receive the CXRACING turbo kit for the E30 for a few reasons... and one of them was to take out my magnifying glass and inspect the hell out of it to check out its quality construction... at first the metal is very heavy so good sign :)


I checked the flanges for straightness and thickness, welds, I have to admit that I am very surprised by the quality of all this stuff. I know a good weld when I see one and these welds are very very precise with almost perfect penetration and also the welds are grinded down nice and smooth and haven't seen any pin holes either.. (My old thermal research cat back for my old 91 Mitsubishi eclipse back in the day that cost 1500$ was not as quality as this) so am scratching my head on why people hate on some ebay vendors?!? I cant vouch for others but CXRACING has a very solid kit here...


38mm ext Wastegate again everything looks quality..

The turbo is a replica of a garrett GT35 with a A/R 70 ratio its not a small turbo and again I looked it over and cant see anything different then my old Mitsubishi 14B turbo on my eclipse in the day... How long will it last not sure but all it needs to put out is 8PSI for my goal of total 20 PSI with my Supercharger...

All the fittings, oil lines, and a really well build oil filter adapter to run the feed oil line. All gaskets are metal, every bolt, this is quite a complete kit...all it doesnt have is the oil return like..

So far I have to admit am impressed with this kit... am not sponsored by CXRACING and didnt get paid to say this...I just wanted to be honest and maybe stop the nonsense that all Ebay stuff is garbage...

This kit can be bought directly from www.cxracing.com I grabbed it on special on Blackfriday :)

Stay tuned...
