The OFFICIAL 24v Engine Bay Thread

[MR 325]

If I hit a number north of 275 I'll be happy but just like the OEM thing I really don't care where it dyno's as long as it's running optimally ad puts a smile on my face, which it does.

I honestly feel the same way as a general rule. As long as it's fun who cares? Numbers are still cool to see on engines like yours that aren't done every day.

Old dyno is the old plot that goes to redline. Tune so far is plot that just stops just past 4k.

I still don't understand why people decide to leave things looking like this.

Amidoinitrite?

This was the last picture I took of the engine bay. We were trouble shooting some spark issues. It's still being tuned so we haven't buttoned up the wiring yet. I'm not leaving it like that. Don't make an ass out of you and me.

It won't live forever if you are TJ. Just sayin'.

I wouldnt have it looking like that in the first place...but to each his own.

You mean you'd have your wiring harness 100% perfect the whole process of making it from scratch and trouble shooting? Man, you'd be a diligent mother fucker. Ironic thing is that I didn't touch the fuel/spark part of the harness. I just popped off the top.

I wonder why you are having issues with your car

Yes, I would.

I dont think I've posted anything in here yet of my latest e30..

From my project thread, I'll get some new pics when I go pick it up in CA this weekend...

Integrated strut bar behind the towers, connected to the cage, through where the heater box was...


Sloppy and dirty, still while I was working on it


This is my entire spider hose, no heater no port on rear of head:

Amazing. Simply amazing, I hope to post a swap in here someday. I am trying to do some wire research and can't even seem how to do this with having an early 318i, 1984 to be specific. Other than the wire part I could do this swap with confidence. Any help with early 318i's? Sorry for the off topic comment, just figure you guys know best.
