Nah. 2.8 V8 similar to the V8 made from a pair of Hayabusa engines. Should be good for 400hp, but still be light enough for a single person lift.

I will never look at Bronzit Beige the same 😍 And the imperfections on the seats add character 😉 Also don’t usually like wheels that aren’t OE but the Rays surprisingly look good. This project has come a long way and you’re still adding to it! Hope you’re proud man.

I can recommend BM Workshop Botany based on recent experiences over the last few weeks. they completed a valve stem seal replacement and a few other bits on my 120i without drama or fuss. They have attention to detail and picked out a number of things on both cars that I hope they would! Bellars motorworks over on the Shore are also another option if you are that way, had a walnut blast there and a look and chat with them, soild operation. Dealers are 100% not worth the extra cost, on some things like routine servicing their pricing is comparable to the indy's , but other things they are just having a laugh, water pump replacements, injectors etc. The quotes they will give you will make you wince.

Great work!

Interior coming together nicely!

Aaaaahh that explains it thank you!! Will probably just grab the one on TM mate. Cheers for the info lads.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Follow up on this. Running the new IC for a little while now. Logs show very steady intake temperatures with next to no appreciable rise on anything but the hardest and longest pulls. The very large temperature spikes with the stock IC are gone. Also WGDC is down implying that if there is any pressure drop due to the larger IC , it's made up for by the increased charge density resulting in the turbos needing to work less hard anyway. Very pleased and would recommend. No noticeable increase in lag and bottom end response is better...
