E39 Project
-
So today I sent up the new radiator, install kit, all new accessory compnonents (minus the actual accessories), new water pump and new VC cover gaskets. The Radiator is to be mated with a new Ford GT fan and shroud, which is extremely powerful and efficient.
I'm finalizing design on Machined stainless collectors for the Turbo manifolds.

Awesome! I'm itching for the next update!

I was up by the car Friday. Unfortunately I had to do a bunch of work to my beater truck, so I only had limited time on the M.
I did get to look at mounting options for the lifter air tank and pump. If I cut the divider out between the battery box and M-mobility well, I can drop the tank assembly in and have it live completely below the floor of the trunk.....completely hidden!! Then I think the battery will go in the left side of the trunk where the CD changer is now.
I removed the entire windshield washer system. No need anymore. Wife was pissed about that....not sure why, but she had a fit when I told her that.
We discussed the final mock-up of the headers. They are extremely tight. The builder said these are easily the most difficult headers he will ever create, and not by just a little either, as he says.
The charge pipes are changing again, they will be difficult to say the least.
I'll see if I can get a pic or 2 uploaded soon.
