pretty good? those welds are like a great rack on a woman in a low cut shirt

My gf saw those welds and asked me why my welds don't look like that.

I should have responded with something about her rack.

Got the intercooler mounted. Had to do a little more modifing of the core support to fit a 3.5" core but it does fit.

Would you ever consider making those intakes? Looks so sweet.

Maybe some day cause I do love building things like that, but if I ever do it won't be any time soon unfortunately. Klracing.se sells a good intake manifold, just don't ever buy that shity eBay one haha.

Very nice plenum, its been a while since I saw your thread. Do you know what knock sensor you are using?

I was contemplating building a plenum like you have but I have nowhere near your level of fabrication skill. Its always great to see an m20 as the powerplant for a high powered build.

Thanks man, and I'm just using a donut style bosch sensor. I'm excited to how the plenum does but I'll never know what changes it would have made by it self, and trust me I'm still learning fabrication one step at a time. Two years ago I never touched a tig welder before and I've just been playing around doing little projects to teach me self, that's the biggest reason I haven't finished the e34 diff swap yet, just not quite ready to weld two cast pans together and be structuraly strong.

I'll have to check out your thread again too, been a little while since I checked it out.

just to give credit where credit is due, he also is building my twinscroll manifold adapter and it is gorgeous.

^thanks man! I should be able to get it finished up right after I get my car running again.

This weekend I got the oil cooler mounted up and the lines ran. Also if anyone followed this thread and noticed i blocked the oil cooler lines, well don't do that haha bad things can happen because there's a thermostat in there.


Also got the intercooler welded up, and pressure tested. Why couldn't the intake welded look like these. Hard to tell because I broke the camera on my phone but deffilelty my best welds on aluminum!

Turbo is now in and all bolted down for the finial time. Its a TIGHT fit, actually had to move the one wastegate pipe a little to get it in there haha.
