Melted a piston, now LSX Turbo

Is the ebay pfeba lip from the guys in Slovakia? Classiceuroparts or something? I was looking at their stuff for my e28, just wasn't sure how well they're made. Thanks.

It's from Latvia, not complete garbage but definitely not something to put on a nice e28.

Cool, thanks for the feedback man! I was looking at the euro m5 lip they have, just wasn't sure how the quality was. That lip looks pretty good on your car, although it can be hard to tell in a photo.

Waiting on my diff to come back so I can order a driveshaft for e30.
So I figured why not put the equips on the e28 for now.
Looks so good, guess I'll have to decide if I want the bbs on the e30 maybe.

Love those back lips

Equips look awesome on the e28 :up:

The Equips do look good on the E28, but I think the BBS's will look better.

so awesome! Thanks for sharing this build with us. This was a fun read. amazing to see those v8s in these tiny cars.

Headlights make it look like a Corrado I think.

Thanks guys.

Bad picture, but cut the bottom half of the radiator support off and replaced with tubing so I could fit my fan easier. Also welded up brackets and bungs to radiator so I can mount it and make coolant piping tomorrow. Even had to shorten the lower inlet since there's barely any real estate left in the engine bay.





Down pipe all tacked up, ignore the last piece with big ass gap.

Finished up coolant piping today. Diff showed up from reshimming too.
Now I need to seal up the diff and put that in so I can order a driveshaft.
This thing if finally getting towards the end.

Thanks.
Finally made an idler pulley for up top that bolts over the water pump.
Alternator bracket is adjustable and ended up using a ford 5.0 belt.
Also ordered my driveshaft soooooo this turd is almost ready to melt some tires.


Also the 2 step works....can't wait to turn it waaaaay up

Tacked up the downpipe, just need to weld it up tomorrow and start the oval.

The last few days got a lot of tig welding done.
My friend and I are building a Volvo T5 w/ hy35 swapped e36.
We made a new oil pick up tube from scratch and shortened a t6 oil pan and redid the front section to clear his rack/subframe. Came out awesome. Then I got all the welding done on my down pipe, it's such a good feeling to make something from nothing and progress with quality as time goes.

Your welds are looking great man! Mad props for all your hard work!!
