E21 Project Thread - Part 2
-
Cut new grooves into the new injectors and got them on the rail.
Remember kids, dont throw off the emperors groove ...
-
Got the oil filter housing installed & clocked to clear the manifold, fuel rail and injectors installed, oil distribution block put on and the turbo oil feed line ran. Started fitting the turbo oil drain line too. Just have to cut the braided line to length and attach the other fitting.

Just a couple more things to bolt on and hopefully the engine/trans will be in its new home this weekend.
-
Things didnt go as quick and smooth as I wished. Looks like tomorrow will hopefully be the day the engine/trans goes in. Crossing fingers!
-
The engine has landed!!!
-
Looks really good!
Should have came that way from factory

Install harness, make downpipe, install coolant hoses, radiator and intercooler, install/modify driveshaft, patch floors, install rad. support section, make charge pipes, install hood and seats, check connections and fasteners, add fluids, load tune file, fire it up and go to the e30 picnic.
Did i miss anything?

Thanks for making my to-do list. I'm adding make a center support bearing mount
-
That may work. Otherwise cut old mounts off and reweld in new location is the route most seem to take.

I ended up welding a flat piece of metal across the tunnel, then put in some gussets, and then cut the center section out and drilled the bolt holes. It's a PITA to keep everything flat, planar and level when you're dealing with little 2 inch long pieces of metal. Otherwise bolting the brackets to a spare CSB or equivalent jig would probably help. Good luck. Don't burn yourself while welding over your head.

Ran into an issue with the intercooler, rad fan, oil cooler fitment as I planned it out. Just ordered a replacement intercooler and still have to figure out the room I have for a slim pusher style fan. It will be tight, but hopefully will work out.
Quicker updates!! Lol
If only I had more time during the day there would be faster updates. I am trying to get at least one thing done every day I can before the picnic. We shall see.
-
Been getting things done little bit at a time. A few bigger things have been getting the fan installed as well as fabricating custom mounts for the front mount intercooler. I also fabbed up the downpipe and got it over to kyle for welding.
