This build escalated quickly...

Taking a look at your trans brace, on the defunct Acr Site it seems tyler intended for the brace to be shimmed to the chassis:

From his site. BTW anyone else, skip ArcAsylum. He is defunct and ran with peoples cores and money.

I did use the shims he supplied but maybe I put them in the wrong location... I cant tell if the image you supplied is looking at the rear of the car or the front. Currently, the shims are on the front driver side bolt location.

Edit: Pretty sure the image is looking towards the back of the car. I think my shims are in the same location as pictured.

Its a shame, quality fabricator and product. Absolute trash business skills. He told me he sells insurance as a day job... Personally I think he should have quit, hired a secretary/manager to deal with the business end and focus on fabrication.

Naturally, as I received the plenum, I had to inspect the quality control by putting my whole head inside. Everything checked out! Thankfully, every particle of my body is still connected as it should be.


Its the Karbonius CSL replica, the best OE looking CSL box imo.

I am planning on going to that in the future, just wanted to get the car done first.

Glad you like it!! I got a quote from them the other day. I have a Carbon Fiber Engine cover coming and eventually I will do that intake as well.

[masterofnone]

You took the practical approach aha

Dont forget to ask them to modify it for use in an E30 with brake booster! I didnt even know that was a thing until they offered it.

Made Gen2 wiring for you:

[masterofnone]

Wow, you are the friggin' man!

Im sure Ill be calling you soon too

[Staszek]

Made Gen2 wiring for you:

Can you make one for the first Generation just like that?

That is awesome:)

Beautiful build!

[masterofnone]

Thanks Dave! Hopefully it will be more of a car and less of a paper weight soon, Im getting tired.

Verified AC Pressure sensor connector is P/N: 61132359998. Comes with pins, connector and rubber inserts

[masterofnone]

Good lord man, where do you find the time!?

Any info on the lower hose temp sensor pigtail?

[R3Z3N]

Time? I find it. Then I lose it again...

BMW lists: 12521427615 working for both upper and lower but that is clearly wrong as the locater molding is offset, whereas on the lower rad hose it is centered. CORRECT P/N is: 12521427787
*ucking REALOEM sometimes...

You CAN USE the above and pins P/N: 12521427608. Just shave off the locater molding.
Looking for the damn rubber boot P/N now...
Did find the boot name though: Bosch Jetronic 2 pole Protective boot

[masterofnone]

Wow, seriously tough to source that damn boot aha I couldnt even kind the name. Came up with this Bosch P/N: 1280703031

Edit: Dont think that is an accurate P/N...

[R3Z3N]

I saw that P/N (non-BMW) as well. There are 3 versions, I think that is the long version. I know I bought one from Turner or Bimmerworld years ago...but alas no idea anymore.

Outstanding job so far. Earlier on I noticed you used the same green welding table I’ve gone to a few times! Bravo on the engineering part of your build. Can’t wait fore more updates
