I'm diggin that cover paint! What headers are those?

[DeM3n]

Here's one of mine.

[bimmers4life]

it's suprising how many people have not built some sort of heat shield around their cone filters. I would think after all that hard work that went into the swap they would at least try to fab something up.

Oh ya, im diggin the german flag paint sceme on that valve cover! nice!!

The coolant tank gets in the way too much to make something effective. However, if you have an M42 radiator...

Here's my engine bay:

[DEV0 E30]

will thoses firewall covers work with m20s? how much are they and where can i get one?

I'm not sure if they will fit, maybe the intake would get in the way?

But here are the part #'s and prices. You can probably get them from BMA cheaper.

Nice. What supercharger is that? Any fitment issues?

Thanks. I'm running a Powerdyne BD-11A Supercharger. The only fitment issues occured between the front of the blower at the top & the rad hose. The 2 rub together, so I added another layer of heater hose to avoid any potential disasters. However: I'm running an e36 rad. This wouldn't be an issue with the e30 2.5L m20 rad which doesn't stretch as far across the support.

Also thanks for the P/Ns for the M3 covers. I'll get right on that.

[SchnellerVert]

Mr M tech do you have any dyno charts for your car?

Good to know, that thing must haul balls. Seconded for a dyno chart.

No problem, they really clean up the engine bay.

[Mr. M-Tech]

Yeah it pulls pretty hard once the tires stop spinning.:)

My ride isn't tuned. So I haven't dynoed it yet. I'll strap her down next month when I receive the proper chip. I'll post the results as soon as the pulls are complete.
