'91 318is, 16V swap.

[FunfGan]

When are you planning on having it done?!!

If I can find the parts I need? Before summer. Thats my self instated deadline. Its not just the swap though, I'm doing tons of other little projects too.

[lolcantturn]

There is a way. Am I going to take my time to do it? No.

Dumb. It'll take you 10mins of designing and 30minutes of actual doing to get heat. Take the time to do it right, not having heat is half-assed.

I doubt this car will ever run again

[dnick]

+1 on the heat thing

My heat never worked anyway. The lines have to be totally relined and the firewall cut to pieces.

By the way, why so obsessed with me?

Why can't you just get a new heaterbox and have all the lines there?...

And I'm flattered you think such.

Have you seen how big a v8 is? It sits pretty much against the firewall, theres no possible way to run the same lines.

And yes, deleting something is half assed. I assume all race cars are "half assed"? The car is obviously going to be streeted, but I couldn't care less about comfort, haha.

By big I hope you don't mean physical size because it's not physically bigger then a straight 6 but yes it does sit against the firewall. You can re-route the lines and have a perfectly working cooling system and great heat...it'll take you an hours time.

Basically you have to cut off the lines that are coming off the firewall and run the lines through the firewall to the actual heater core. Basically what M60 guys do.

Bonkeh isn't obsessed with you. He's trying to convince you not to be a moron and do all of your swap "BECUZ RASEKARBRO"

Which it looks like....due to the obnouixious idea of the exhaust coming out of the fender...and no heat.

Good luck. looking forward to the outcome.

*obnoxious

Not running exhaust until I can get a second set of shorty headers, I will be doing a single pipe out the end of the car.

My Computers autocorrect failed me.

Not running exhaust? like just strait out the head so you burn everything in the engine compartment to a crisp?

Running turndowns with heat wrap to the skid plate. Theres only 1 way to do a full exhaust, and its a pain in the ass. But I will be building it as soon as I can score a second passenger side shorty header.

[Roysneon]

Wait...are you talking about open headers?

[FunfGan]

Essentially. Just with turndowns. I think I found a second set of shorties though, hopefully I can pick those up before I get her running. I know a few mustang owners that run open, but I like the sound of straight pipes with a glass pack or small muffler.

I need updates!
