Yes i will be running 1000cc injectors custom fuel line and rail 2x 044 pumps surge tank and a rising rate fuel pressure regulator.. just need to save the coin which pushes the finish date back a bit lol on another note was looking at running these OMP seats any opinions on them? Also a pic of bushes installed with z3 rack and x brace and solid outer ball joints Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorburn 120 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 I'd scratch rising rate fuel pressure regulator off the list. I'm pretty sure you'll be on the upper limits of pump fuel by the time your maxing out 1000cc injectors. Unless your tuner has said otherwise Your engine bay is looking far too nice to crash around a track Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 Basically my only advice when doing manifolds is give the whole car including engine fit in final resting place with gearbox, steering rackand suspension components attached is the only way to make sure it will fit. I learnt the hard way... ended up spending more in labour rebuilding the whole thing to fit in mine. Still thats going to be one hell of a setup!

topcat 11 Report post Posted September 25, 2012 it does look the business, but if the nuts wont thread on/cant be done up with a socket then its basically worthless. having fooled around myself with this problem-its not worth the frustration of leaking mani gaskets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garett 103 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Cleaned up my gearbox today, came up nice and installed one of the many heat shields i will need to fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garett 103 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 to be honest and im sure you dont need another key board expert but your design is very complicated and from the start i did say stand the motor up and you could have halved the piping i run a 4" drop pipe and still have enough room to hold an orgy. as for the plate you use the old header plates as a temp-let for ports and spacing which is 91mm centres from mem but i guess not all key board jockeys offer bad advice, go check my Facebook and you'll see what my manifold looks like compared to what you've done and its not to rub salt in as for fixing yours?........yea Yeah man it looks like it will do the job nicely wont fit in my car though. Dont forget the e34 has alot more room than the e36 in the engine bay. I wanted a set up that i can interchange into any e36 and maybe e46 and maybe even other models with a change of a down pipe... without changing to many things and if i could get around making custom engine and gearbox mounts, making gear selector adapters why wouldn't ya Im looking forward to lineing ya up on the drag strip lol BBQ BEERS Woman and fast cars :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
