I'd not bother with a manifold. fit a bigger turbo. Your ecu is going to hate you either way as it is anyway being lh 2.2. you will have more issues with blowinh up gearboxes before you need a custom intake. Its not a restriction to these Engines For street cars.

Where are you located?

I doubt the e36 coilovers Fit. Guys in the states would have done it by now. And just checked. Nope. They are bolt uo to hub style while 740s are one peice strut and stub axle and hub.
yeah ill see how i go eventually there will be a lot more stuff going on in the engine bay and i didnt even think about the bolt up hub style saw it on another forum haven't tried myself ill have to work out something else
If you go on turbobricks there is rough guides on how to do it. The civic coilover kits on eBay can work. Or kaplhenke.com sell good ones.
ill check out turbo bricks hopefully can work something out
Out of curiosity, how much boost were you running? I'm currently running a bit below fuel cutout
You will be safe Darcy as long as you run 98 BP at all times.
Yup I always run 98, last time I went to Gippsland on my way up to lakes entrance, bairnsdale has 100 octane at one of the servos I believe, I recall putting it in the GL last time I was up there.
That would have been united. Which is 10% ethanol, And they don't have it anymore.
i was running a dual stage boost controller low was 10psi high was 14psi i know its a bit high but was gonna do a conversion in the first place wasn't going to be a b230ft at first until this new motor came up real cheap changed my mind, was looking at a different conversion but it always ran 98 octane
Fuel cutout is around 15 psi as far as I know, and I'm running boost just before fuel cutout so that would mean that I'm running 14-15psi as well, did you develop piston slap before you threw a rod through the block ?

Theres a service station in Bairnsdale that says "100 octane" on the pump, I filled my GL up with it last year!
Some pumps still say it. But fuel cut on most is 12psi. Turbo plus goes a bit past it. Stop pushing it until you do your basic servicing and set the timing right.
are you sure. thats a year ago. ive watched all the 100octane stations change to 98. late last year.

i went searching for when i went for my dyno earlier this year. they all no longer have 100octane. well thats melboune anyway.
United took out 100 as it was confusing to some with 95 , 98 and 100 at most bigger sites.
You could do 30/70% E85 & 98....
Ive done about 10% e85..I would not put any more in a stock car with unknown injectors. Derailing his thread!
