Yeah looks at home but now iv put the engine on the normal slant the rear turbo is hitting the abs unit and leaves no room for a dump so after pulling my hair out and destroying a manifold I'm having to bite the bullet and go a bigish single. So a t67 will be going on now I need a manifold which leaves me 2 optons I either make one from scratch or buy a cheap one and spend a few hours cleaning it up and re welding till I'm happy all comes down to time which Im short on. This weekend me and dori34 are going to crack the wip and get it to the point where its ready to only have to do the hot side. So this weekend will be wiring, drive shaft. Raidator install and hook up, connect needed vac and heater hoses, cold side cooler piping, install injectors, install seats and finally install sensors and gauges. It's a big list but should get it done with 2 blokes fingers crossed

There is but it's tight turbo would have to sit between cil 3&4 but the engine mount is there and the rack sits back 120mm then a skyline rack making it hard to get to the lower controll arm bolts. If top mounted it will sit between cil 1&2 or 2&3. Not sure how easy it would be to low mount a t67 and tial gate kinda need to buy the turbo before deciding

So next weekend I'm going to spend the whole weekend working on the girl bribed a mate with beer to do all the lock changes and few other bits. I'll be finishing off the bay hoping to get it to the point where it's only exhaust

I'm out of time and money needs around 2 g and it's done I'm devo plus someone stole all my gauges and a stainless manifold the other day so that puts me back there to. The plan was to keep the car sell the 26 buy a cheap 25 and I could finish it. My daily shat a motor today and tow costs and repairs near left me a g out of pocket with no car all while trying to tow a car so I'm stuck. If the 26 sells it will be finished if not will sit there till I have the money

Hahahahaha what happened to this car/project.........

Oh that's right BSA got kicked out of the unit he was living in and left the car sitting in the parking spot! Abandoned the car and left the real estate to clean up his mess.

What's happening with this build? Still going?

My current weekend car is a 98' E36 318is.

I was thinking of doing an individual throttle body kit on my car and rebuilding the motor with 3.2L M3 internals. Would be great fun with a high-revving 1.9L 4cyl making ~200hp.

What kind of coin is required to do the RB25 or the SR20 conversion? If it's cheaper by a long mark I may look down that avenue instead....

    • So last night pulling away from the lights, I lost power for about 1 second. Bit weird, but I kept driving... 5 minutes later the pump completely dies. When I tried to start the car, the pump won't even prime.  I left the car for about an hour, tried to start it and it all appeared fine. Pump primed, car started, got the fuel pressure I should have.... Start driving home, 5 minutes later it dies again. I'm stuck in a shit spot this time going up hill with a car right behind me, so I just let the car continue to turn over while praying to the fuel pump gods. After about 2 minutes of turning the engine over, the fuel pump came back to life and I got home (only about another 5 min away).  So I've been digging around online, it seems like the 525 fuel pumps really don't like to be run at 100% all the time. I've found quite a few examples online of people killing their Walbro 525 pumps within about a year of usage when they are run without PWM.  So, my pump is an Aeroflow 525 (AF49-1057) and I've been running it at 100% without PWM. I'm thinking the Aeroflow 525 didn't like being run at 100% and has burnt itself up.  I really am sick of dealing with fuel pump issues, my current thoughts are -  1. Use a Walbro 450 and run it without PWM. It seems like these pumps hold up pretty well to being run at 100% all the time. I only make about 350kw and can't see me making any more power any time soon so this is probably a fine option.  2. Get a Walbro 525, run it with PWM. I know doing this will annoy me as I feel like with only 350kw, its extra expense that I don't "need" and I'll be thinking the whole time while setting it up that I should have gone with option 1. I know I'll be happy with this option when its setup and running, its only the initial setup frustration and cost as an issue.  3. Get a Walbro BKS1001 brushless pump. This is the fu*k it I'm already going PWM, might as well go full retard. This option just seems better in every way, with the only downside being cost. But I don't know much about this pump so I could be wrong.  Happy to get everyone's thoughts before I go digging around in the fuel tank again. 
    • Doing it this weekend. For sure this time. Thank you forum gods.  And im running map sensor now with the haltech. Still have the AFMs attached to the mushroom dome shaped air filter things
    • Actually, it is probably pretty legit. I mean, it's still woke feminazi bullshit academia, but you would have to agree that it is very likely that there would be a correlation between wanting a loud exhaust and scoring at the unpleasant end of the scales for dark triad personality traits. The fact that they found it didn't correlate with narcissism and only with psychopathy and sadism definitely shows that the loud exhaust thing is more of a "f**k you" than a "look at me", and I reckon that rings pretty close to most of the dickheads who take it to the extreme. Remember, this is correlation with tendency to be closer to one end of a personality trait scale than the other end. Of course someone who is at the literal opposite end of the psychopathy scale is going to be so considerate of others that they wouldn't even think about wanting to upset anyone with a loud exhaust. So the finding isn't that "you are a psychopath". Just that you score more towards that end of the scale than someone who doesn't like loud exhausts (on average, not necessarily even for specific individuals).
    • Blitz ER34 at some point hopefully, should be allowed in Gr3 if they do.
