Hey guys,
This is my first official post! Been on BF for a while, and you guys have always been a great help. For the past year or so I've been working on a spare M50 motor for my 1995 BMW 325ic. My plans have been to boost, and I'm in the current process of swapping out the old motor for the new one and finally piecing together all of the turbo goodies :D. If I have time ill be sifting through all my old pics and start a build thread.
MY QUESTIONS/CONCERNS for this thread:
I've been reading up on boost/vac line setups, but I thought it would be sweet to have a fresh thread to finalize/debate on them, compiling it all in one place for future users (unless there is another out there, then I have failed as a youth in internet researching skills:help). I'm planning to use new silicone hoses for all lines regardless with clamps for all lines.
That being said, I was wondering exactly which vacuum lines can stay where they are on the m50 manifold (i.e the fuel pressure regulator, etc...), and which need to be located (and where) to avoid boosting something that shouldn't be?
Which lines are best to tap for a boost gauge and BOV?
Also, is there a trick to better seal the plastic connector that leads to the ICV to the manifold other than silicone glue haha? If needed, how would/should you cap/seal off any ports where any lines are removed?
Lastly, my car has a charcoal canister, part number 16131180886. What should I do with it, a delete somehow or relocate its vacuum source (i was thinking to tap the intake of the turbo somewhere for a new vac source).
Cheers!
