Awesome project! Still runs and drives? Do I dare to ask pictures of hydroboost bomb and reservoir placement?

I hope it does. I would take some pictures, but the car was sold. I know some others on the forum are running the hydroboost setup. It's not that hard to install. We had to make a custom bracket to mount the reservoir & bomb, get the high pressure hose lengthened, and modify the linkage to the pedal.

Was that a Fram oil filter on your M20?!

Yup, I always used Mann, but that was the last time I was going to change the oil before I yanked it out so I just picked up the Fram filter where I was buying oil. I sold the engine to a guy who was going to rebuild it.

No problem, I am the same way. Do you remember what size pipes he ran did he keep it dual. Seemed like you used an entire E36 exhaust from the headers back.

Did you like the sound? I dont want mine to loud.

Thanks in advance!

Yeah basically. It was dual 2.5" tubing. It wasn't loud.

I don't, I'm sorry. I let my professional muffler guy handle the exhaust setup so that my engine swap was in full compliance with federal laws.

Andrew, do you have a picture of your exhaust setup? Its the last thing I am working through on my parts list for my build (well last of the big things). I like the idea of using a stock rear box and I wanted to see how it hung. Also what cats did you use, stock? I didnt see that in this thread.

Thanks!

Curious.. Thinking about selling at some point?

The car in this build thread? I sold it to a gentleman from California in 2012.

Hey Dimitris,

I used a stock Euro E36 M3 muffler that is then plumbed directly to the catalytic converters. It sounded very nice. It was not loud at all. No "drone" at highway speed as some E46 M3 owners complain about.
