Congrats again man, glad it's up and running. If I were you I would drive open headers at least once. ;)

I have to drive it that way to the exhaust shop, about 10 minutes away.

Finally.

Finally.

Tell me about it. Longest engine swap ever.

BMW got scizo for a while. LOL at CPS and ICV being mixed up. They are pretty far apart on the harness. Glad it runs! W00t! in for vids.

Actually, unplugged, they were the same length. There are like 4 plugs under the intake manifold that you can mix up. It's kind of dumb.

Congrats man! I love your attention to detail and everything turned out awesome as usual. I look forward to seeing whats next.

ps, Im sure it was a one time scenario but continuously running your starter for a long period will overheat it and eventually cause premature failure.

Sweet dude! Makes me want to buy an e30 with a blown engine and swap in a 24v.

Going through the anticipation while fuel gets to the rail - then hearing it fire always gives me goose bumps.

Mad props.
