it started life as a 91 318is to replace my dearly departed 90 325is that was my long term runner of 94k miles for a total of 216k
i was days away from installing the 2.8 stroker i built when it got squished but enough of the past
it was a running driving 318is prime for molestation that i picked up from auction as a donation (women owner died and someone donated it) for $450 8-)
now it has the m-coupe 5 lug from my old car and the m20b28 i never got the chance to install
yea i know it's a little tall but our roads suck and i prefer function over form, less changing of oil pans and buying of lip spoilers that way, anyway with a bath and a polish it shines decent too
heres some various shots
extrude honed intake
13# 323 flywheel
bobbed counterweights on the m52b28 crank to clear the short skirt I pistons, BAS 280* cam 10.6mm lift 110* separation, it's a little lumpy at idle
balanced the pistons and rods to with in 1/10th of a gram across the set, the pistons were 2.5 grams off and the rods were 4 grams off from light to heavy
racetech studs top and bottom
built a cam sensor
i have a megasquirt ready to install and after that i am going to start building the bracket to make use of the pulley i built
i have a paxton ready to install as soon as i get the bracket built and the plumbing ready, i plan to run a intercooler but haven't bought one yet as i haven't gotten as far as screwing with pipe routing to figure out what style i am going to use yet
