Holy mother of God. How are you going to keep that much power on the ground?

Nice, but you really ought to have painted your remanufactured brake booster. It's going to turn bright orange/brown when the surface rusts like mad.

Anyway, you may want to post a link to the thread that detailed your swap/turbo if you have one or just post details here as well. Inquiring minds want to know.

thats not good to hear.. i was tempted to paint it, but the paint seemed to be pretty decent and for some reason i liked the color..

guess its in there for now.

i don't have r3v thead on my project, but you might be able to find one on some of the other boards..

Is it already painted? I picked up a remanufactured e21 320i brake booster when I did my conversion and it was a bare metal finish that looked just like that. I used Rustoleum satin black and then it looked factory.

I thought that was you, but a different name so I wanted to make sure. Keep us updated.

Well, it's a start huh :




Offcourse all the wiring is going to be worked on. But except the oilcooler, radiator and airfilter this is about it.

Pretty headers, what are they?

Thanks, the headers look good but don't give any extra I think. We bought the engine without headers and we got these of ebay. Since the car is a complete rebuilt with many unknowns we use this engine for setting up, testing and getting to know everything about the suspension, brakes and so on. After that, a s50b30 replaces the m50.

What kind of oil coolers are you going to run?

Mind sharing if you gona modify the M50 lump to fit the oil cooler?

Just a mocal cooler installed where normally the passengerside headlight would be. Not going to modify the engine, instead we use this oilfilterhousing cap :
