How hard is it to do a custom turbo set up? I know I would need a turbo, intercooler, reworked exhaust system to feed the turbo, change fuel and ignition. Anything else? A guy on dtmpower.net claims to have a 450 hp turbo M42 and he will soon be making a turbo kit that produces around 240hp for around 3000 dollars to compete with DASC. He also said he could make other interested persons a 450hp turbo M42 engine. What do you think? | | | 03-11-2005, 07:59 AM | #2 | I miss my Ti....... :( Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 828 | Hmmmmmmmmmmm.....

What do you think? | I am going to guess that if you are able to find a fabricator that has worked on car parts before especially exhaust systems then for a 1 off job I would say in the neighborhood of 5K. Now that would not include an EMS, or software tuning. WOW! 450 HP from an M42? That guy is my idle. It can make the power although I don't know how good driveability would be. -Chad | | | 03-14-2005, 03:40 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: MD/VA/DC Posts: 834 | can you give me his username on dtmpower.net i would like to talk to him | | | 03-14-2005, 04:09 AM | #4 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 | 943184dr is the user name. | | | 03-15-2005, 01:10 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2004 Location: MD/VA/DC Posts: 834 | ok thanks | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
