Catuned *** 1976 BMW 2002 Project F20C Swap NOW TURBO 400HP

[catuned]

LOL I think they just dont know or not sure.
In any case that cover wont be there.
And the plan is to make it run for now and then stroke the motor out and add ITBs to the motor which should make around 300HP. That will be fun.

you should totally develop a swap kit for the e30 while you're at it...

Those wheels are COOL! Roundies are cool because of their bumpers.. the tails are just shitty Ford Falcon knockoffs imo.

I figured it was the tails. Either way, I couldn't give a shit about the tail lights, this thing will rip!

igor, do you have a baby crib in your shop? how do you work on such amazing projects with addition to the family?? you have one lucky and understanding wife sir

Why is '76 = fail? I am a 2002 noob.

Looks like a fun project! Can't wait to see it finished

Probably because in California, a car from 1975 or before doesn't have to smog; they're going to have to pay registration/smog fairies with a 76.

Looking forward to updates, I've got a 1969 1600 sitting in the driveway that I hope to some day do this to.

Ha- yes I typically work 7am till like 7pm. Have done that for the last 15years or so. So Im used to it. My wife on the other hand is not but is getting there.. lol No she's very cool. I get mad just sitting at home not doing nothing. Good thing I got tools and a garage to work in. :D

[catuned]

ok update time.. Not a huge one but here it is:

Put some BBS rs3 on it just for fun

Took like 4 ppl to lower it:


Pulling old motor and trans out:






Interior is stripped of the seats and carpet:

Small rust hole found; Lucky it's not bigger:


Started to mock up the motor for transplant:
