    swap pics

    I started this rebuild/swap project back in September of 09. I originally started with the body/paint then with the swap..

    I have gather all my pics to actaully show what this car went thru but here is some for now..I just got the car back from Azevedo Motorsports and they are the one who cleaned up the swap by painting the engine bay and painted the M stripes on my already painted valve covers..

        I was just looking at your thread on S14.net. Sweet car! I wish my engine looked as good as a Euro S50.. Every time I look at a Euro S50 I think to myself that BMW took a step back with excessively covering their newer engines and removing the iconic "M Power" script from the coil cover..

              I did most of the work including the valve cover. I sent my car to Rui Azevedo when i ran out of patients, so he pretty much painted my engine bay and re did the wiring. Like I said I have to gather pics so everyone can understand...

                  The engine bay is so clean. What did you gain by going to Alpha N? I usually see people going Alpha N when they get a carbon intake plenum so they can delete the MAF, but how much is really gained going AN with a stock intake plenum? Any other engine mods?
