REKIII Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sorry PJ. Been really busy at work! I did get the engine brackets released for the other e39 project I'm working on. Motor mounts and a plethora of other small bits for that person next. Hopefully I get to reverse engineering my intake manifold soon.Stupid KW had to order a replacement rod for one of my coliovers so the Umbrella bits are on hold.

REKIII Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Sure. I'd need geometry, or one to reverse engineer. I doubt I'd be cheaper than someone producing them in qty, unless you think having a qty machined would be worth while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Damn. Huge blow on the progress today, although for good reason. My tuner has decided it would be best to get the car running on the Adaptonic Normally aspirated and put some miles on it, before turbo charging.Makes great sense and will make for a better end product, but at the same time very dissapointing. So no Turbo M until mid to late summer at the earliest.Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just motivation so you can all prove me wrong. NA M20 FTW ok now im screwed I will indeed take this as motivation.. This bastard won't give me the engine!! I'm not going to paint it until it warms up, and lately I have just been saving up my dimes for welding consumables and parts for my exhaust manifold. Man I just bought an argon tank. They aren't cheap! And I spent the rest of my pay check on filler rods and stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowleym Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Did you buy a brand new argon tank....? Nah, but it was still 275$. I didn't think about consumables when I bought the welder lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowleym Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Oh, and the whole wiring the garage for it. They quoted me for 500$. This just sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Those would be simple problems. The worst thing about the way mine is going, is I'll actually have the car partially modded, but not turboed. Boo! Can't even go to any events because no turbo = no show for me.

Guest sean_thao Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sounds interesting. Ill be excited to see when you finish. I just recently purchased an M5 down in Arkansas last week. Good to see that youre one of the few on here who owns one. Forced induction on the S62 will be somthing else. Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted July 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 What? An Update? Holy crap!! These FINALLY came today: Still waiting on the tank and pump. Ordered a bunch of REALLY expensive stuff from VAC, probably another couple weeks before delivery on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
