Holy cow.. making sure it's precisely 90 degrees.. that's something i've never seen anyone do. Mostly just eyeball it.. but wow, that IS important and most of the time the cause of any oil seepage.
I have a PPF tubular bottom mount manifold which sit turbo even lower. I also have a G35-900 (Pulsar). The manifold is made for Precision turbos which mount at a different angle so the G35 sits a lot closer to the block, i had to grind webbing off the block and tranny. PPF normally run a scavenge pump with this manifold, which i dont want. I clocked the entire drain flange on the turbo so it's pointing directly at the fitting on the pan at about a 10-12 degree angle, and the fitting itself points up at about 10-12 as well. Will be interesting to see if it works. The drain flange is a little bit above the pan gasket level.
@@Drift.Things Yesterday i weld oil pan from fiat 1.4, I have to make more room for exhaust due to 4x4 conversion and that bitch was so dirty I have to weld it 3 times 😆
Is this set up working? I am have an internal struggle of deciding to run top mount without A/C in the desert or fighting oil drain issues on a bottom mount 😅🥴
@Drift.Things let me ask a follow up though, what's the oil feed situation? I've seen some guys getting a lot of smoke from over oiling as well! Really wanted to get this right the first time 😅
Help…I have a bottom mount turbo for my E36 S52. I want to retain the AC. Any help on how I should route the tubing? Do I need to move the AC thingy that sits in front of the passenger headlight?
Remember the name folks your watching the best here 🙌🏼

That manifold really puts the turbo low. I will be surprised if that oil drain doesn't smoke.
this was filmed in July 2023! It’s been running smoke free for months now 😊
Nice! I did a tube that ends on the side of the oil pump sump. Never had a problem.

Good luck!! I don’t know how I could be any lower than spa without doing a sump pump
Try use some 80-90Hz and ~30-35 % balance, it shuld weld better
90 hz 35 balance! BMW castings fight me like hell for some reason

🤢
Sick
Where do you get the oil for the feeding line?
Vanos distribution!
How do I get my hands on one of those Wastegate pipes?
Which turbo is this. Very nice fitment.
G35-900

Ya man it’s worked for a few years now!
@Drift.Things hell yeah!
I'll be referencing this video when I put my junk together.
If you don't mind, what manifold and turbo did you use?
Spa bottom mount and a pulsar g35-900 clone .82 ar
@Drift.Things thank you brother!

Hi! I’ve never had ac in an e36 or any fast car before 😅. Sorry haha
Nice work, shame the music floods your voiceover but still cool!
Thanks! And ya editing is hard I’m doing my best 😅
@@Drift.Things I'd imagine! I can't be too critical as I'm not a content creator. Your engineering is sound though! Good stuff! :)
