      totally agree.

      I got a spare E30 with a 2.7L in it am really tempted to built it on the side too...

        Thanks Matt! Very pleased to see the great fitment, nothing hits or needs adjustment. Bolt on and go, the only thing i did is go down and get higher grade bolts for everything.

        Yes, I love the potential these motors have on stock rotating assemblies but everything has it's limit.

                I bought mine at a parts store, that is one of the most annoying things to me. TTY bolts are used everywhere, just give me a final torque range not this degree bullshit lol.

                Excited to see your build finished!

                  Got some more work done on the car today. I goofed and forgot to buy an adapter for my oil feed off the block, so monday I will be able to get her fired up finally. Gives me more time to tidy up the wiring anyway :)

                  Mas fuel-

                  19lb vs Deka 80lb (thanks KAmotors for the help here)





                  Downpipe wrapped and re-installed -



                  Moved the coil and cleaned up that whole area -

                    YEEEEEEE.

                    Are you going to loop your charge pipe up and over like that off the compressor?
                    Since no A/C you have gobs of space under QUE NO?

                        there is no way not to loop the piping with that manifold.

                        looking great:)

                              What was used on valve cover and intake manifold? I plan to do this shortly and am weighing pros and cons of expensive powder job vs. crinkle from autozone. Thanks!

                                I used a 20% wrinkle black powder for both parts. I have never tried the stuff at auto zone, worth a try though!
