damn. have fun tuning that.

 

thats going to be sick. friend of mine has a boosted black m coupe with gold center ccws. its rad

 

Thank you! Any chance your friends name is Carl? The one you described has a tan interior with a Bride Exas driver's seat right?

 

did those originally have ITBs?

 

That M is going to be a beast.

 

S52's do not, S54's do.

 

correct.

and thanks for all the comments I appreciate them.

More pics of the teardown, some parts and some new pics of the meth tank and collector. We had originally planned on using a 6to1 collector, but because the cam chain tensioner is in our way we have opted for a 6-3-1. The fourth pipe on the collector is for the wastegate which will sit in front on the engine, behind the radiator.

 

 

wow, talk about a snug fit. Love the build.

 

That turbo is awfully close to the metal body! Looks like a cool build!

 

Great choice on the turbo. Im fabbing up a kit for my subie using the same turbo Ive been having alot of fun with the 6262 in the past few months.
Heres a pic to compair the 6262 to a stock sti turbo.



Going to be a bdass car when finished.

 

yep thats who im talking about hah

 

Nice!

 

sickkk M

 

Is there room for a Downpipe? lol

 

in for more pics

 

Thanks for all the comments I appreciate them.

Yes, it's a tight fit, but that is what we are working on today. Here are some updated pics of runner 1-4 tacked together. At the moment my fabricator is finishing runner 5and 6....

 

Manifold tacking complete!

 

Very nice man! Check out horsepower freaks bmw kits. What are you going to be running for management?

 

Thank you. HPF makes nice stuff, unfortunately I don't have an e46. I'd still go custom because I don't want anyone to have what I have. For management I'll be using a custom tune on the stock ecu. There is a guy I know on the other coast of FL that will tune it for me and he is a BMW God.


Here are some pics of the Downpipe.

 

Looking good. Good thinking on the dp routing. You going to wrap it?

 

wow....its coming together pretty quickly!

 

I used to auto-x with a guy who had an m-coupe.

Great little cars...handle well...just expensive to maintain/work on.

Your setup looks like it will be fun.

 

Great work. Can wait to see the finished product.
