I may be interested, I'm curious what my Frankenstein motor puts out.

& makes that 5! I see things of wiring shenanigans on the Instagram, but I haven't fully understood the why :o

I'll definitely let you know...

As far as WHY. Charlie is never satisfied with good enough

5 here

Edit: I can't count. 6 here

Make that 4!

BTW Sh3rpak!ng Im again going to try organizing a dyno day soon at JMP. Interested?

Yes.

We want updates

Car is running well. This project took FAR longer than I anticipated. Waiting on dyno time to do the power tune. This will be interesting since I've never had a true custom tune on the car. Dynoed like 6-7 years ago on a hub dyno and made 238whp.

I'll try to give photo upload another shot using a hosting service. Can't believe it's been almost a year since I properly updated this thread.

Amazing what you have done to this thing! Did you get your brakes sorted out? Have an s52 swap, and about ready for more brakes...Thanks!

Leaking coolant extension drain. I'm just going to put a plug back in the block. This was really tight against the headers.

What part of this was leaking? I want to do this too, and I'll add a fire sleeve to it. Maybe with a little more length, it could have been pointed forward to be further from the headers?

I use imgur, pretty easy

Thanks guys I'll give them a try

Car is looking fantastic!

Do you have an update on the brakes? I am working on refining someone else's M60 swap into a usable track car and it has a terrible remote booster setup that has to go. I currently have the Garagistic pedal box bracket and was planning on going that route, but I'm just not 100% sold on their solution. Is Lee @ Massive still doing this stuff even though his website is down? What's the best way to get in contact?

I'm looking for a true dual purpose solution, I learned my lesson last time around going full track car and I want to put together a brake setup that has enough pedal feel and low enough effort for moderate street use.

I was strongly considering the garagistic setup + wilwood pedal box for a while and decided against it because of the space constraints under the dash. I just didn't want to have to undo all the work I'd just finished cleaning up the wiring. Also cost overall was quite a bit more than the massive "pedal box" solution. Yes Lee is still making loads of stuff, contact him at massivebrakes@gmail.com

I think I'll end up dropping down to the .625" master cylinders from the .750" cylinders I have now. That'll gain a bit of pedal travel and reduce effort. They're pretty stiff now which is fine as long as you remember, but irritating if you get caught in any stop/go traffic. Its felt great in canyon driving. I'm waiting to have a track day or autox until I make another change just to feel how it operates in those conditions. Might be a while though since I just started pulling things apart to do a link standalone ecu.

Very annoying to upload photos through tapatalk... just straight up not working. I hope the photos as attachments works. Any advice on photo uploading is appreciated. Especially if it can be done solely through from the phone.

Anyway. What do we have going on here? That's an electronic throttle body from an M54 and homemade adapter plate. It also serves as an "oem" bbtb upgrade. I mightve gone a little excessive refurbishing and finishing the parts, but it looks awesome imo. E-throttle pedal is on the bench to be fitted next.

I am transitioning to standalone link ECU g4x xtreme with a custom dyno tune. Also working on getting modern wheel speed sensors adapted so we can do cool things like launch control, traction control and eventually modern ABS. This is a project I've looked forward to for a while.
