Not sure if i missed it, but what kinda brake booster you running?

i thought you knew? the typical 320 brake booster some people use for these swaps lol

[KillaCams]

There's a few options for boosters, was just curious what you decided to run since i imagine you want the pedal to feel as close to stock for when you run auto-x. Good job man, car is coming along, it's come a long way since you first bought it. I think i've had my car longer than you and haven't gotten as much done yet lol

thanks! and what happened to your swap?

Long Story! made short--- Took the head off cuz of a leak from the timing chain cover once the engine was swapped; head off again because of bent valves (at least I thought); Tranny off because broken pressure plate; now it is at the shop to get timed properly since it probably isnt timed exactly. Hopefully that should be all.


OP: Why in the front of your motor all black?

Looking good man!

update for today...so the car is running, but bimmerworld fuel pressure regulator sucks, and the car leaks fuel bad from the fittings, so tomorrow i'm going to buy an aeromotive regulator. thanks bimmerworld.

Dude, nice work man!!

Seriously, you did the swap fast and you did it legit. Looks really good and I like the white/black theme.

You should paint the "BMW MPower" logo on the valve cover white. I think that would look sick.

Anyways, keep it up man.
