DrLeadFoot Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Hello, TRM CCV kit for the exhaust and Bimmerworld oil pressure sensor adaptor! I'll run the oil for the turbo and the sensor for the VDO pressure gauge from the adaptor. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Why not just run a catch can off of the valve cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Slightly ported and polished up my exhaust ports. Bought a m-coupe diff cover and started prepping some pieces for paint.

Earl Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 I knew it was from Merton. I texted him about his and he said he sold it to you:) Good snatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Wrapped most of my hardness and clearly labeled everything. Also primed my alternator and started media-blasting my m-coupe diff. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Why not just run a catch can off of the valve cover? I want to pull vacuum for the crank case. More power! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 More power? Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 I've read and talked to people that if you pull vacuum from the CC you make more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 A little painting. Still waiting for the Rods and Pistons. I need to head to the junk yard and pull some wiring harness brackets. Talked to the engine builder and he will take 2 weeks to do the bottom end.

Earl Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Did you disassemble the alternator to paint it, or did you just tape parts off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 You weren't afraid of particulate getting stuck in the cover and contaminating the oil? Maybe I'm thinking too much=P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
