Ryan Castro's Avus Blue LS1 M3 Project (Non-e30) *With Vids*

[kalib0y]

Did some more modding this weekend.

Added a motion under panel and added "cheaper to replace" velocity splitters.

Went to a canton tank set up and since going off track and cracking my lip/bumper, I decided to bring my intake back up into the bay with a heat shield:


and a photo that I thank BMW_Drifter (Ayed) for finding!

THis past Saturday was a beautiful 80degree winter day in Socal so we took advantage of it, gathered a handful of E36s and went driving :)

And a lil vid:

Do you have any pictures of the exhaust?

[kalib0y]

What? why did I post this? What does this mean for the Motorsport Hardware LSM3?... What are your guesses?

[evandael]

Feel free to sell me the LS1 for my S10 after you pull it out. ;)

To shed a bit more light we are doing an ERL Superdeck I 434 ci with AFR 245 heads ported and engine buttoned up by the man Tony Mamo himself.

See one of his builds here: http://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamomete...-afr-245s.html

Saturday, Did some maintenance and fixed a stripped subframe stud. So great to have access to a lift this time.

[kalib0y]

Got some progress done this weekend. LS1 is out. My god its so great to have access to a lift, power tools, and extra hands!

While waiting on the new motor, next up
1. To clean up the old installation wiring
2. Figure out what I want to do with the brakes, change to smaller booster or go manual brakes..., if I wanted to change it up.
- Want to retain ABS so we will move the unit
3. remake power steering line
4. Add more heat shielding
5. Convert headers to v-band and ceramic coat
6. Wait for new motor
-I've decided that once the motor is finished, I will do an engine dyno break in.
