Ok guys

I have a 3L nitto bottom end

26 head with 1mm oversized valves, jun cams, ported

Single fogger nos kit

Greddy plenum

Trust 100mm drag cooler

Going 6870

Should I get the .84 or 1.0 twin scroll rear

Chasing max power but more interested in how laggy the bigger rear housing is

Any advice would be much appreciated

Pt make the numbers, but they seem to be pretty fussy with oil contamination or old motors compared to Garrett stuff . My mates 6466 leaks oil out the core..after 50km..he didnt fit a filter..as he doesnt ever listen..

Another guy i know went through 2 BB 6766's in quick succession, then fitted a filter and had no problem. Wasnt a old motor.either.

Both rb30s. Bad luck..dont know..

Would i buy a pt ..yeh (and have done and will again when 6870 t3 comes out) , would I ever fit one without a filter, nope , thats for sure.

cheers

darren

made 501 @ 20 psi on 98 full boost around 5k.
still gotta do my e85 tune.

Im looking at going to something smaller but wouldnt mind getting some ideas off you's guys. i have looked at going to the smaller rear housing .62 i know ill loose top end but yeah just trying to find something more responsive. Don't get me wrong shes fun to drive on the freeway and rolling starts. I got the whole kit off a friend for cheap and he made 620 @ 25 psi on e85 on a stock 26 but he was getting boost around the 5500 mark. have got this turbo up for sale as im gonna be looking at a 6262 or 6062.

Don't choke such a large turbo up with a peanut sized rear. Want more low end? Go to a smaller turbo and have a decent rear end. Not a compressor that wants to flow a million HP but a rear that wants to flow 500. Compressor limited not turbine limited. It's a much healthier way of doing it.

sweet cheers for that bro.

^^^What he said! You will turn it into a turd mate. Whats your power goal? Pick the right size turbo for your application. If you are going E85 go a size smaller even for killer response!

Like i said i got a good deal on it at the time i was about to rebuild my twins and had everything out of the bay. im looking around the 600-700 mark. if my bottom end goes ill rebuild. next size down is a 6466 or even 6266

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
