That last post by me was supposed to be a photo of a stock m50 just hanging out the back of my daily driver Malibu. Wierd it didnt show up. I tried to use a dropbox host, guess it didn't like that. Anyhow heres the latest update for the hell of it.

I put another stock m50 in again while I am still building a crazy cstom low compression stroker. I will get some pics up this week of those toys, but I put a new head gasket in this OEM non vanos motor and am boosting it as a test bed before the real engine is done. It's up and running on megasquirt now with 60lb injectors, but I still have a lot of odds and ends to wrap up before its driveable. Heres a youtube link -

got tired of waiting for the rebuild to be finished...fuck real builds are real expensive...so i did this ....



I need an e30 to just drive. The Malibu is sweet and was lots of fun with a "m50 swap" in the rear :rofl: but its definately not an e30

Thunk. Another one bites the dust

oh, i cant let that happen....

here we go again!!! the budget build was fun but this ones gonna drain the bank...keep watch but be patient. time is money and and money is power and more power means forced induction and forced induction costs money so time = forced induction?

After much patience for a little part here and there, temp sensor, slave cylinder, etc etc, she did her first burnout tonight. Have to clean it up, and will get pics up later this week.

IT LIVES!!!!! just had the fuel lines switched....I'm such a noob hehehehe. Someone had installed the fuel filter backwards back by the tank and when I traced in and out from the rear of the car they gave me the wrong lines. Quick switch with a little advice from LOLCANTTURN here on the forums and the ride is good to go. Need to button up a few other things but the hard part is over.

G frickin K!!!!!!!!!! gK gK gK gK!
