Overkill Garage - DIY Single Turbo GTX3584RS

[OverkillGarage]

Creating my own single turbo setup. A few suspension parts are being replaced in conjunction as well as new fuel system components.

Feel free to follow here or on FB/IG via username OverkillGarage. Constructive criticism always appreciated and encouraged.

I love to see DIY projects like this.

good work man

I am sure you will not but don't forget the 02s

Bottom mounts are so simple, love them.

Very nice. Keep posting the progress.

Still waiting for a single for an e60 chassic

great , where do you plan to put the WG and o2

That will be coming up soon. The wastegate was on back order and finally came in on Friday.

7.5" Race installed. Configured a pass side charge pipe from the turbo and started generally locating the WG placement as it finally arrived on Friday.

DIY turbo kits FTW! Also how did you get that manifold deck so clean? Mine was pretty good without any real effort but that is clean

Thanks! I think what you are seeing is the head flange mounted to the cyl head. I got it cleaned up, but probably about the same as most. Unfortunately it appears I don't have a picture of the bare head currently for comparison.

Love these builds, great work!

Progress slowed a bit. Worked out the lower profile motor mount/bracket and some of the turbo oil/water fittings. Also tacked in the wg flange and O2 bung locations.

I’m sure it’s just the picture angles, but do you have enough room for the water inlet to the block?

very nice o2 placement and wg... keep it up, when it comes time to make the DP try making it 3.5"

Aren’t the O2 sensors likely going to be getting bad readings since the collector isn’t divided and the sensors are angled with the flow stream?

It's pretty tight back there. I worked on the tube routing a bit last night and I think I've got a plan in place. I'll try to get pictures up as I make progress.

Thanks! I believe you had a manifold similar to this at one point right? I'm planning on running 3" turbo back. The price penalty of 3.5" comparatively seemed disproportionate for a small gain in power output.

I'll let Omar reply here, but I think they should be fine. I'm planning to use the VTT screw-in adapters to keep the sensors alive.

best spot for o2's are at the end of each bank where each bank collects at a straight... given this manifold doesnt have much surface area to work with , OP setup will do just fine.

I got the downpipe and exhaust going this weekend.

I finished things up this past weekend. Running on WG pressure only at the moment.
