So hot - so excited.


I might have to do the fuel rail in purple now

are you gonna run that strut bar?

Cant wait for you to post a vid.

I dont think I can fit a strut bar :( at least not a custom one :)

wawaweewa

Id leave the fuel rail red

yea i remeber the thread a while back where you were asking for clearence. Man, i wanna see this thing wide open, with nitrous pouring in!!! So what kind of rear tires are you gonna be running? should find some solid ruber tires, as thats the only thing thats gonna last longer then a few miles:buttrock

Snails, I'm seriously digging the purple...you need more of it!

Thanks i like the purple too! I am debating back and forth on doing the fuel rail in purple.


My wastegate is purple, the clamps are purple, and my blow off valves (when I get them in) are purple. The fuel rail is red to match the nitrous fittings though

id keep it red, need a little color. And then your nitrous fittings would look out of place if you changed the rail.

True...

Before you forsake mechanical engineering and go into your calling:marketing,please do us all a favor and stop this madness and join Boosted Anonymous.Plese repeat:

1)I admit I am powerless over boostl—that my life has become unmanageable
2)Come to believe that a Power greater than me could restore me to sanity.

:D

I moved to e34s after I joined boosted anonymous... and what happens, Jon starts in with the damn boost, waving it in my face again, tempting me to max out my CCs to resume my addiction.

If you put some yellow in there you could turn it into a Mardi Gras float!

Very nice, I like the purple wiggins. Still not sure about red/purple on fuel rail though.

I do like the purple a lot. Although, it may be out of place with everything else? Purple and green always looks hot though...

just outta curiosity (and you may have already posted about it) but are you going to strengthen the drivetrain besides the clutch? (ie driveshaft, diff, half shafts?)

With all that power (a lot) seems like something has got to give lol

For now the car has aluminum/urethane mounts and all - I'll be making a driveshaft hoop, and later once its tuned I'll be driveshaft shopping. The axles - we're not sure hat we're going to do about that yet - but yeah, there are plans to do something.

Nutter!!!








:)




If i attempted to do something like that my significant other would make jewellry out of my testicles for spending a mortgage on a 15 year old car :)
I bet your part supplier gets hte champagne out when you enter the shop :)
looks awesome still :) cant wait to see some finished pics

Just curious, but is that an aluminum (aka hard) tube running from the turbo to the intercooler?

yes

So how do you account for engine movement? The engine is isolated from the chassis with soft engine mounts while the intercooler looks like it's mounted on the rad core support. Without a flexible connection the aluminum will develop a stress fracture and fail. Most systems that use hard piping still have silicone connectors and clamps. Unless you're running a huge amount of boost a samco flexible hose would do just fine and transfer less heat from the engine bay.

Wow..... That is like telling Tiger how to play golf !!!

purple fuelrail for sure.

Those are nice :eyecrazy.. I was wondering the same thing, but that definitely answered my question.

There is a source overseas for stronger halfshafts, it was posted here once before. If you run slicks you're going to eat them it seems.. what do the e36 guys do?

Hey, that looks like Jon K's car from bimmernut

EDIT: I am retarded. I am not even going to delete what I said, because anyone who talks to me deserves to know how retarded I am.

hahaha!!!

heheh :wave

you need something like this:

Now seriously, that's effing funny.

Jon, car looks like it's coming along, I vote go purple.

Nice, they didn't have those when I was playing around with my GTI 1.8T. Didn't realize they had o-rings to allow for flex. 125psi is some major boost :devillook

Yeah they had them when you had your 1.8T - they've had them for years... they're just $215 a clamp so not many people use them!

totally agree, green and purple ftw! case in point: my honda odyssey (the original one) which is way cooler than the minivan

I know these words, just not together... :confused

It was on the radio, and the pipes were getting finished yesterday so the engine will get cranked......

Leave me alone :stickoutt

I vote more purple with little Barney stickers strategically placed.
