my bone stock looking 318is

Can Good & Tight do M42 manifolds??

Yes I've made them before.

[phreshkid]

Blunt, I just bought a clean dshwarz2 sedan with 100k original miles from a guy named Aashish out of Milpitas which is really close to San Jose. Any chance it can be the same guy? He also said he has an s52 swapped e30. Any connection?

Oh and I'm gonna go ahead and email you tomorrow about new swap parts I need. Mostly just e21 tranny mounts, new e30 csb to fit on the e36 m3 driveshaft, is sideskirt mounting hardware, and some other stuff. I'll holler at you tomorrow.

yeah same dude. He bought the red car a few years ago. Good guy. hes got a bad car habit.

[phreshkid]

Heck yeah he does. He delivered the car to my friend's shop in Sac for under a grand which was getting a nicely prepped m42 out of my white coupe which is getting the m52 as we speak. I recall buying all the parts from you 2 months ago or so.

We need udates......

Fuel system is done. I pulled the 318is intank pump and replaced it with a low pressure early lift pump. The good thing is this uses a 12mm out hose that mates to my bosch 044 that I mounted in front of the left rear wheel. Moved the filter in the engine bay. so its a clean set up.
power steering system is done. Gotta trim my m3 harness cover for whatever reason,... I dont recall having to do that on the last few swaps Ive done but this one wont fit. Then install the intake. Im ordering oil cooler hose fittings today. Im real close. but still lots of little shit to finish like fan wiring,a/c lines and adapting the stock m20 oil cooler.

That pump is good for 550hp easy so your set. I like the new sig.....

Are you bringing this to FarbinFest???

[z31maniac]

He can do anything but there are no plans immediately for the M42. We are concentrating on the twin cams for now

Ahem.

[blunttech]

Are you bringing this to FarbinFest???

Maybe. I think I may bring it to mid america fest in november.
but yeah I figure i can get to udaho in a few hours

[YetiX]

For now at least yes. If Ben thinks it needs something else hes likely to sell it to someone to get the work done and then buy it back once completed

I hope he doesn't think that's happening with my 318i. After all the work I've done since I bought it from him (including the exorcism), I'm driving it until it dies. :p

Diggin this project, looking forward to seeing it on the road.

[blunttech]

goodies from Otis came in today. 3" downpipe oil lines, wastegate flange and some other stuff. Otis made a jig for these downpipes so we will be able to offer them as part of a kit with the manifolds

[Ian Bowers]

hahahaha Otis is an artist.

[ZM Blue Devil]

the angle looks way off... Dont see that thing working well at all.










The drawing that is.

[Iain]

That's a pretty shit drawing of a pipe wrench... oh...
