Long term non BMW project teaser

Here’s how mine looks these days...







Changed up the color scheme.

Not me...but it makes me happy to see another caged 16v running around the streets of Manhattan!

Saw this street-parked. Thought it might be this car but it doesn't have the sweet vanity plate ;)

dammit! Why not post some pics here for those of us that avoid facebook

[Emre]

updates?

Everyhing got moved over to Facebook. Created an amateur sports group called HAMMERZEIT that documents the build.

Fixed the issue of interference between velocity stack and brake booster...



Switched to a single-diaphragm booster from a W201 8v...



Found a good spot for the billet oil filter housing and oil cooler adapter (both Earl's). Plenty of room for a bigger and better filter...



Larger capacity radiator (Behr) and oil cooler (Mishimoto)...



Everything is connected with Aeroquip fittings and "Startlite" hose. The Startlite Kevlar/Nomex hose isn't as blingy as regular braided steel hose, but it's lighter and stronger (unfortunately, it's also about twice the price)...



Just a few odds and ends left.

Shouldn't be too big of a job

famous last words....

my brother has had a grey market 16v for about a dozen years now so I love seeing one of these out on the track against the bavarian counterparts.

Whats the solution to the trumpet? Ireland has these curved ones they sell, Ive seen them used on old british cars with small engine bays

That's part of it:

• Switching to shorter, mushroom-style velocity stacks from TWM
• Switching to a "sausage" filter from ITG
• Switching to the single-diaphragm brake booster from a W201 8v

Shouldn't be too big of a job

this suspense is taking too long!

The engine builder took WAY too long to deliver the engine to Guten Parts.

We lost a whole season of racing because of that :???: :rippedoff:

Today was a big day:



And...we have a problem:



But I think we've got a solution. Stay tuned!

[Emre]

More pieces to the puzzle...



Staring down the barrel...



Trumpets...



OK, this one scares me a bit...

[Emre]

coming along...
