nice

Nice valve cover. I wonder how the intake manifold will compare to the factory "i" manifold under boost.

Well the runners are equal length and shorter so other will def be more torque higher up on the rpm band. Equal length will help with overall air flow. Plus it looks bad ass :p

Any updates? I have a renewed interest in the M20 engine now!

[Perry Wilson]

for anyone still following this thread, I have been super busy getting the E46 ready with a new tuner switching it back to 110 and other mods. Also I have been working on maintenance things on the E34 M5 touring I just bought. plus this week my 11 month old is sick. BUT the e30 is still being worked on, im gonna get the engine running N/A for a little and save up extra cash to finish all the turbo and engine management stuff. plus after driving the M5 im realizing I dont really NEED more power than it in a car that will weight half the weight. any ways the rebuilt head is sitting on the block and the fuel rail just came in so I could test fit the injectors to the custom manifold before I paint it to match the valve cover. I also got in all the lexan I needed to finish the driver and pass. windows and rear window. a few pics for now. you can catch a glimpse of the shaved bay behind the engine pic

[Perry Wilson]

manifold paint is done check it out, those top spots were touch up spots that hadnt dried yet



now someone buy my turbo shit im selling so I can put this bitch together

[Perry Wilson]

here is a sneek peek

[IronFreak]

Are there going to be clearance issues with the steering linkage?

[Mlarsen]

I had the same idea for the bitch tube. I'm interested in seeing where this intake manifold setup goes.

your doing a great job. i hope you wouldn't mind me snagging a few ideas from the shaved bay for my own? ive been inspired by all the work you've done in there, and it changed my perspective on a few things in a better direction.

no problems here man, take away... glad you like the work

[Perry Wilson]

all motor parts will be in on wednesday. then its time to build

[broach328]

looks incredible man, that engine bay is top shelf. Also, glad to know it wont be a full track car. I was wondering right from the beginning how track car and show car can be made synonymous.
