Where did you end up mounting the FPR?

IIRC he utilized the E39 528i OBD2 rail that has it integrated.

I used the S54 regulator housing mounting at the frame rail immediately off of the hard lines. I swapped the M54 3.5bar regulator in place of the M3 5.0bar unit. Really awesome integrated unit and it allows for the quick disconnect fuel rail hose, and the factory E30 fuel filter in the factory location.





More updates to come soon....

Just power read through the whole thread. Great work and it is truly motivating.

Harbor Freight FTW! ;D

I really want this car now

That sound is orgasmic. Can't wait to hear it when the catback is done.

That car is almost silent haha

First actual run in of Project Lessmeister. Warmed up to operating temperature and rapped out.

Camera (iPhone6) can't even deal.

Catback fabricating coming this weekend.

Subwoofer highly recommended.

The catalysts are from a F10 535i, rated at a higher capacity than the ones on a NA M54b30 no doubt. I have very little concern that it would not pass a tail pipe test.

Would it meet all of California's ridiculous laws regarding swaps and such? No idea, but probably not knowing CA.

Have to be California approved convertors with part number specific to make, model and year of car. So, probably not.

I see you are using OBDII, and I'm not sure if you have a catalytic converter in that exhaust piping, but if this was put through an emissions test, do you think it would pass similar to the engine's donor vehicle?

The build is looking awesome!

Thank you

On plastic you can usually do prep with a maroon scotchbrite pad, followed by a thorough cleaning.
