perfect fit...

those headers are amazing for an oe item.....

[blunttech]

Oh yeah.

Glad to see you're keeping the a/c also.

No one likes an old dude with butt sweats.

Jakes really not that old.. You should apologize. If my ass were to ever sweat it would look like the glistening buttocks of a young Swedish boy

We plan to have electric cut outs.... :)

Those are some sexy headers! I cannot wait for more updates ;D

Started fitting the s85 into the e30.









It is sitting a little high in these pictures.




This is a WIDE engine.



Looks like we will be able to keep AC. This is a street car afterall and will be driven.


The trans is tight in the tunnel but it fits so far without any adjustments. It might need a little opening up in a couple spots just to give good clearance but so far so good.





Might do something different with the heater hose connection to be able to push it back a little further and give a little more room here.


But it is pretty close to the firewall already.


The cat is built into the header and was hitting the bottom of the car. The plan was to cut them off anyway so off they go now.

These headers are equal length.


Inside the collector.


They dump in a nice location.


The main issue now is building a new subframe and/or modifing the oil pan to get everything to work.

You can also see the catless header here.





Steering shaft actually has a fairly direct shot. Might go to a smaller ujoint/shaft. Also something without the rubber flex disc.

Judging how close the bolt holes are maybe its something 'merican that came in a 5x4.75" bolt pattern, aka 5x120.65?


can't wait to see how this plays out for you guys it looks like your onto something!

It looks much further off than that. I'm betting the rotors are 5x130.

The BBK info is worth it for readers alone, Jake going big yet again. Helps to have BT sourcing parts with ease!!!

Don't all American cars have drum brakes though?

my '67 Dart had manual drums on all for corners. talk about stopping power! it was like having an early version of ABS, since you couldn't possibly lock them up. :p
