89 325i LS Swap (Rust Repair & Respray Underway)

[varg]

Exhaust pipe doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to stay intact. Your welds are fine, far better than my fluxcore crap!

Looks good. Was it really an LS1? I don't want to hear people give me shit about my wiring job anymore lol

Tune is tentatively scheduled for Monday June 10th

Mine looks average too, I've got the early Vt Commodore(gto) harness and it is just so bulky


what hydro boost do you have?

Running a hydrobooster from a chevy astro van I then made an adapter to flip the master cylinder 90 degrees. I also had to thread the hydrobooster rod to accept a bmw clevis. It took a lot of thought and trial and error but it works. This winter I plan on pulling it and reworking some of the parts to fit a little better. With the new sikky mounts the master is touching the valve cover which is not the best situation.

If anyone is interested to hear how it sounds idling untuned here is a video. You can see the black smoke coming out of the tailpipe lol.
