Prolonging the Procrastination...

I admire the way super duper does things Every detail is perfect. I had a very hard time not telling him I wanted to buy his Mini while I was there. I would be warm in that thing this winter instead of the awesome e12 with "flow thru" heat

We have confirmation as to why he is known as SUPER DUPER (add rhyming name here)!

So sweet. I hope some day my engine is in & looks 1/2 as good.

Congrats! I bet it feels great to see that thing where it belongs! :D

Thanks guys. Blunt came over yesterday and helped me put the motor back in the car. After 18 months, its finally back in... :)

[parkerbink]

Very very very very nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am missing a few very(s)

[Simon S]

I remember back in the early 80s – and reading about this guy who starting working on his e30 -

but never finished the project..

Oh wait – that was you..

=P

wow, just simply wow

Artwork.

Fresh motor build with boost = automotive porn. Great work.

[TwoJ's]

Looking great. I think I've said it before, but I love that manifold. It puts the turbo in the perfect (for me) position and it looks wonderful all polished. The opportunity cost of the tiny bit of potential flow is well worth having their exhaust manifold. Way to go man, keep it up!

[FunfGan]

Wow, have missed this up until now. That motor looks beautiful, and the progress so far is excellent.

[Mtriple]

can you get some more pics of the engine mount modification? I'm going to run a td setup as well and was considering a different modification.

Here you go, sorry for the delay.

So.... Ive been so busy in the last few weeks that I really havent had a chance to work on the motor. I stopped by Bluntech world headquarters last week and picked up the last significant hardware order for the motor.

I'll just throw up some pics and let them do the talking. At this point, I'm ready to take it off the stand, bolt up the clutch and flywheel, put the tranny on and then put it back in the car. I have a million details to address but I will do that over the winter once I get the car down to my other garage.

This is awesome!! I wanna do some similar things to my M20! You make good inspiration. Sub'd man.

[ZM Blue Devil]

That's one seriously beautiful M20. I may be a 24V swapper, but a cleanly-built M20 makes me just as happy as it ever did.

says it all, great work.
