Bassboy3313 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 Doesn't feel like I accomplished much but took a lot of time. :/ Finished up the lower oil cooler mounts and got them tapped and jb welded on. We'll see how it holds. Then I went ahead and made the top oil cooler mounts as well out of flat stock aluminum. I also bolted the front euro bumper to the euro valance with two longer carriage bolts (thanks Kyle for the trick). Since I have to modify it all to for the group 2 flares, it works perfectly. I then noticed I wanted the two air duct holes in the alpina spoiler to be open, so I cut the lip off the valence. Much better!

Bassboy3313 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Been working on getting the charge piping cut/ground/welded since realizing that the e30 ellipsoids with HIDs I am running interfere with the SMIC placement. For now I will run it without an IC like I have been in the past. Until I figure something else out that is. Been a slow process which really makes me wish I had a welder and the skills to do it myself. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassboy3313 Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 Got the welded up charge piping back the other day. The pieces that were made back in the 80s turned out to be mild steel instead of aluminum, so I had to get a coat of paint or powdercoat on them to prevent rusting. So I opted to paint all the piping in cast iron gray color. I love the color and it goes with the old school theme of the car. Looks brownish gray in the sun but kind of army green in the shade. I still dig! I got it all mounted up and snugged down. Along with the IAC to intake hose as well. Just need to hook a few more things up and fill with fluids and I should he able to try starting it.

Bassboy3313 Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Thanks to kyle (kyletime666) for doing the machine work on my side 2.0L project, I got the cleaned and polished crank back today. Did a few more things to the car today, but hopefully tomorrow I can crank a lot more of the piddly stuff out.

Bassboy3313 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Got quite a bit of the piddly stuff done today. Ran fpr vac to fitting on manifold, filled with coolant, changed oil, secured return fuel hose to hard line, got a large vac cap for a spot on throttle body, tightened oil cooler lines and turbo oil feed line and tightened alternator down. I also figured out a spot to mount my custom catch can, hidden behind the brake booster. I took the spare piece of aluminum strip I had and bent up a bracket for it. Drilled some mounting holes, powdercoated it and boom, done! Just need to run the hoses from valve cover to intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B C Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Making brackets is more gratifying than it should be. I expect to be plenty busy later this week helping you and milwaukeeandy , the thought is quite exciting The Full Banana 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
