<![CDATA[Build thread/running log of my E28? Guess I can do eet.]]>This car started out as my friends car, over a year ago. he got it, because his previous E28 (1987 533i) Had to much rust, so he sold it, bought this one. Didn't do shit to it. Winter came, he stored it in a heated garage all winter, then spring came, an we traded vehicles.

That's what it looked like originally.

I picked it up with rougly 189,xxx miles on it.

Since then, it's been upgraded with, an exhaust, 25KHID Purple fog lights(not my idea, but they look legit), M sport steering wheel, and some replacement speakers. oh and a bit more low.

Here's photo's from a few days before it got lowered. (Damn my timing!)

I talked to my good friend Cory C-Hutch Hutchinson, about his E28 (Hank the Tank)

He gave me the secret, and I followed.

Disregard that cancer spot on the door. The rear is up a bit more. So I can alot more room for new rims.

When do you plan on being up and running with the HX35?

What HP/PSI are you planning on

What are you doing for fuel management

I wanted to be up an running by late spring. But Idk. Might make it wait..

Shooting for 450rwhp daily, an whatever I can Max it at for shenanigans.

Fuel management, stand alone fuel management. Possibly full stand alone if money allows!

Right now I've got my eye on a ratrod build. So I may swing into that project first

Guess I can do eet. on Fri, 29 Nov 2013 17:29:56 GMT]]>Its not a bad design IMO.  Manifold inlet is centered for best chance of equal cylinder filling, Long runner length to improve low+midrange power (turbo can take care of top end power ), Equal length (if not very close to equal length) runners. Im a fan of flipping the TB position though

Guess I can do eet. on Fri, 29 Nov 2013 06:05:49 GMT]]>Exhaust or intake? Exhaust, I'm putting my down payment on my tubular exhaust manifold once my wheels sell. Intake is getting modified. Factory m30 intake Mani is poorly designed

Guess I can do eet. on Mon, 18 Nov 2013 15:32:09 GMT]]>How many miles were on it?  Just curious, the M20 in the picture had somewhere over 280k and still had no ridge , only about .003 wear towards the bottom.  The shop I had inspect, tank, and hone it was very impressed, he said a 350 chevy will have a big ridge at 150k lol.  And the m52 I did had 215k and the crosshatching was still there.  I don't have a good pic of the M20 but this is the M52.  And both of these had overheated from a cracked head.

Guess I can do eet. on Mon, 18 Nov 2013 13:16:46 GMT]]>Possibly. I like the SR20's color better. really pops. Which is nice, considering 90% of the M30 block is masked by a gallon sized starter, and a stupid as fuck intake design. SO the bits that will show, will look like a sex machine in the shadows. ;)
