    Default Norwegian E34 w/ twinturbo on a 850CSI engine

    Pretty insane if you ask me...

    A couple of low quality movies (you need quicktime to get the sound working)

    Clean looking setup, but I'm confused by the hard pipe running between the two charge pipes. I suspect they were trying to equalize pressure but the twin setups and engine management runs each bank seperately, so I dont see a point to it.

    The use of zip ties on oil lines like that is kind of sad too

    Safety? If one pops, the other bank will not be thrown out of whack... also, it ensures consistent pressure, keeping everything the same. Makes for easier troubleshooting.

    I don't get how all that stuff can live (ABS unit, heater valves, ebox) so near to the turbos. Up on the towers the turbos are not gettting any airflow. ONce they get hot they will melt anything near them. The pipe work is awesome but I can't see how all that heat can be delt with... it could end up a pretty big mess- then again it depends on the boost one uses- if its a low pressure it won't get too critical but one needs to design this stuff for a little abuse... has the AC been deleted too? I can't quite tell but can't imagine a compressor and an condenser in there AS WELL...

    That is certainly the way to charge an e34 though... what a nightmare it'd be getting it all to fit, or even just changing the plugs.

    Looks like a chore to change the air filters (least the left one)!!!!

    Awesome! He really need cold air intake instead of sucking engine bay air.
