Driving the beast for the first time since engine swap up and down the driveway =

It needs a lot of tuning (paging Mr Brian. Mr Brian. You have a telephone call). New clutch feels great, brakes are good, shifting is nice.

Hello all, please put this event on your calendars.
BMW car show, sponsored by Badger Bimmers chapter of BMW CCA and BMW of Milwaukee North.  This is the 13th year of the show.  It's at BMW of Milwaukee North (formerly Concours BMW), 5990 N. Green Bay Avenue, Glendale WI on Saturday, June 4, 2016.  Open from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.
If it's nice outside, the show is held in the service parking lot area.  If it's raining, the dealership clears out their showroom and service drive and we have the show indoors.
There will be people's choice voting in 7 classes and complimentary light refreshments.  Spectating and entering a car in the show is free for everyone.
Hope to see you all there!  Maybe it will be warm by then
Jeff

when i took off my stock intake manifold, i heard a rattle inside so i had to investigate.
found out that the early m60b30 intake manifold has individual velocity stacks inside, just like the early m60b40 manifold. BMW later did away with them and did a simple curved mouth integrated into the manifold molding, obviously to reduce cost. the later b30 manifold i pulled off the parts car did not have the stacks.



 

update: cobb flash is done and starting on jb4 map now. The BEF used in the videos taken above is hitting about 11 psi at 3k and getting up to 18 at 5500 and holding that to redline. For JB4 will be initially on 17 psi across the board from 3k rpm, and with a couple tweaks hopefully end up closer to 20 psi across the board on e50. 
I still can't believe how well this turbo holds boost at higher rpm. It's such a staggering difference from a stock N55 turbo which just utterly ran out of breath at like 5200. This thing hits 6500 and keeps going. 
if this shitfuck wisconsin weather would just...fix itself...

Thank you captain obvious!

2 Wibimmers dudes sharing a ride. Only audible words "this guys gonna get his ass rammed"
Pretty standard
Car sounds great

To be fair, its possible he has had his registration sticker cut off before from someone needing it more than he did. I have seen it all too often. So putting it where he did could justify that. Who knows tho.

Got the exhaust rubbing fixed as well as the Muffler rehung. I then finished applying the sound/heat proofing padding before the carpet goes in.


After that, I took the door panels off and was surprised to see power door actuators already installed. The wires were cut, so they were inoperable. I removed the old ones and installed the new ones in their place. Wired it up and tested them. Seems to have issues unlocking once locked. I kept the old arm pieces that connect to door lock pins, so I'm assuming something with that is binding. Who knows! Which may explain why previous owner disconnected the actuators in first place.

I bought my intercooler black from the factory. That is all.

Saw a clapped out saturn yesterday with the plate ETALLIC. He then finished it off with decals of the M and A from the Metallica logo on their appropriate sides of the plate.

Car is running like a top.
Need 15 minutes of the girlfriend's time to bleed the brakes and then she is road ready. Hopefully I can get some better videos this time.

valley pan done. brand new mounting hardware used.  painted copper because it will be fairly hidden by the intake and will just disappear if it left it aluminum. also, copper kicks ass.

 
 

Usually if I have a friend coming over to hang out in my garage it's because I'm fixing their car and they just ask questions over and over and over, which is ok but not the same as having someone stare at you with those judging eyes and critique every decision you make and periodically call you a bitch.
