What are the stock DI injectors good for again? Are you really going to need the additional injectors to make 600 whp?

But fuel system is never a bad place to overspend on a build.

This is the cleanest it will be for a while...new ride for the next year.

Oils for F150 and some carbon bits for M3

The kit when ordered and paid for @ 1.36 Exchange was a few dollars short of 6K cad. They are shipping it on my companies brokerage acct on a pallet. They estimated normal person shipping to be about 500 bucks + 200 bucks in brokerage.

The JB4/Precision coils/spark plugs/second HPFP/Secondary injectors & intake manifold was ~$4400.00 but you should buy a tablet for the JB4 kit.

The clutch & flywheel was $1600 shipped.

The M3 bits and pieces (LSD, Sways, control arms, steering rack/axles & hubs) were 1800 off a wrecked car.

I am looking at another 1500 for M3 brakes. - not yet purchased.

I bought the car for 4500 bucks with a "blown engine". Turns out it was blown turbos.

I am still ripping the head off and doing new studs as well as vanos delete. That will be another ~1200 bucks with machining.

Basically I'm about 20K with the car in to get somewhere around 620-650WHP in a comfy and well put together car.

I am basically using the money I sold my R32 gtr for, as a straight write down against this car. I still have about some budget left for incidentals and some nice wheels/additional non essential bits and pieces.

Very excited to see this. Please do a build thread. I have a 135i with everything except turbo/fuel upgrades. (Enrich loaded) want to do turbos real bad, but kids and shit.....

Fantastic summary. Sounds like it's going to be an awesome car.

What are the stock DI injectors good for again? Are you really going to need the additional injectors to make 600 whp? Are companies still making the throttle body injector plates? At least you will have enough fuel to make 1000 whp if you ever want to make some glory dyno runs! You should have started a build thread, would love to follow along. I had a 135i for a bit with some basic bolt on mods, when it was running well it made good power. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

It's the HPFP that is the limiting factor, I am doing a second row of injectors for when I add cams and run E85 into the future. I want to run it till I blow it up then build an engine for it in another year or so. I should be good to 700WHP on the stock injectors/bottom end. However, with that said, there's a lot of dither to worry about from what the guys down at active told me. If the first tune doesn't go well I'll run both sets and lower my duty cycle. I already have a second HPFP going on with the block kit. It's a secondary rail not a Intake "fogger" kit. I have been advised that its torque that kills these engines, not HP. So I elected to go with a higher volume turbo at about 26-28lbs on high boost. I want to try and preserve the engine I have as much as possible. It's gonna blow up, but a full engine build is about 10K so I'll need to budget that forward a year.

At this point I am looking at it from a derate perspective and looking to see what I make with a tune I recieved from pal in Denver. He has nearly an identical setup to mine with the same turbo GTW6465R. I really want to get my car tuned by active autowerke in FL, but that's be monster money. I am hoping I can convince rage2 to take a crack at it lol.

I have a dual pass intercooler that I used on V2 build of my gtr. Its apparently flowy enough for my needs, but I might end up getting another intercooler post tune if I cant control the IAT's.

Nice pickup! Really like the look and size of those.

hahahaha I've been wanting to get a 3putpar plate for a long time now. We probably have the same issues on the putting green.

WTF did I just buy..

Attachment 89971
Attachment 89972

So I bought the same thing thinking it would fit my outside light.

But it has a smaller base then needed.

Any one want to take it off my hands to save me the hassle of Amazon return ?

List price only.

Help me save 8 bux on return charges...

[Disoblige]

^^ Too bad it won't fit. Thing is super bright and works great if that is what you are looking for. I love it for security uses.

New radiator for the forester, will be swapping it out Wednesday.

Also, found a good deal on an epiphone firebird, quarantining isn’t cheap.

Finally got my monitor situation sorted out by buying this and various adapters to get it to work:

[jutes]

Nah


Something to dick around with while stuck at home. Really interested how those highbeam LEDs work out.
