LsBeema 452 Report post Posted February 20, 2020 Got the halo bar for the mount sleeve. Away to the engineers it went along with the center stainless pipe to get machined and cut to size. Why couldn't BMW mke gaskets like these?..solid thick rubber. Anyway...still luv em...rod bearings and all. Have to get or fab another gearbox mount and support. Also gear lever shaft and stabiliser's like 80-90 mm too long...? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LsBeema 452 Report post Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Assembled..waiting for the ECU....hopefully by Thursday.....going to test out the original fuel pump pressure..just to start up.. which should be around 50 psi...can anyone confirm?...will get an in-tank pump and external reg. New gearbox mount..??...so Y pipe clearances should be better. Abs pump relocation might only have to fab up 1/2 lines, Clutch slave pipe adapt hopefully 3/4 bore on master has enough muscle to push the American pressure plate, and headers material next...oh yea..sub frame strenghten...
