isnt the akg adapter 200$ ? ouch

wiring is not that hard, my adapter was 50$ off e30 tech

yea it was 200. pricey but worth it in my opinion...

here's my engine bay on my first swap.
never thought id see myself doing this at age 19.
been seeing a lot of painted valve covers as well as plastic covers, decided to do it myself.
tell me what you guys think.
sorry for it being dirty, its clean now, for sure.


also, im using two 10" pullers, will that be enough to cool my engine?

[e30shmobberr]

ohh how soon mine will be on here

My buddy took this for me over the weekend.

Looking good Josh! Definitely invest in a strut bar, it really improves the turn-in and feel of the car.

[10-66kruk]

So fresh and so clean.

[giantkeeper]

^^ yup, still like it, a lot!

This is what I believe to be the final iteration of my engine bay. Nothing else really planned, save for maybe a strut brace down the road.

this looks great! my m20 is getting pulled out today and my s50 is already out. is the wiring hard to make it work? i bought the akg adapter but i mean all the other wires that used to go into the m20 motor...

Still needs a few things, hopefully completed by summer

Finally ready to share - even though I finished the intake, cleaned up the black plastic on the wiring, and paint matched the fuel rail since taking the photo.
