NEW PAINT JOB for my Bimmer.......

[Digitalwave]

Engine bay does not equal engine block. Plus it looks to me that he painted the bay already.

Diego, you should have color matched the block of the engine to the same blue as the body of the car :)

That's true...but I will leave like that, once is all pieced there you won't notice what color is painted the block, you can see barely the color of it just with out much piping.

I'm going to runa big HOLSET HX50 turbo, twin wategates...all that piping won't let see or appreciate much the color of the block, at this time I really don't care the block look.;) I just my car back (almost 1 year with out driving her)


EDIT: I forgot to mention I still have to paint the bracket, alternator, etc. to make it better looking.

Thanks. Probably 1-2.5 months more:-x

just cheking for all the components (trying to keep my A/C) not to hit against other parts....looks like a very tight place to dropp all these things.

The header is under construction yet, it won't be a really equal lenght manifold because the bends I have aren't to close and can't do much but I will try to make the best.

I think the two 40mm wasteagtes are going to be mounted like the picture shows...what do you think?

[c0rnfl4k3]

why two wastegates? one on the intake, and one on the exhaust?

I could run one, but a big one, but I decided to run to because my system is a split pulse flow of the exhaust.

That is a fucking awesome car. How much did it cost for the paint for the whole car?

it's not fair when you can paint it in your own shop ;)

[diegom6]

Did the header, not a fully equal lenght, but kinda close for what bends I had in the shopp. Now I have to make WG's pipes and finish welding the whole thing and re make the downpipe.





What do you think? :-k

It's a good mainfold, i have nothing to complain about really.

I would design the collector alittle bit different. But thats me, lucky we all are not the same, then we all would use the same crap and nothing would improve.

Great mainfold, your first?

[diegom6]

Thanks Peppe, it's the first header/manifold I do...so no experience for us. Like I siad the bends didn't help us much, they didn't have a nice 180 degree.

Do you have pictures of your colector? What would be the best option for design in this case?

[c0rnfl4k3]

Looks like the work is coming along nicely, now repaint your engine bay to fix thise parts where you scratched off the paint.

[KangamangusDriver]

The work and dedication to this project is absolutly fantastic!

Amazing to see all the progress you are making!

A real photo shoot will be in order upon finishing!

What are your plans for engine management? What horsepower/performance goals do you have in mind?
