I also find it odd that the GN never came with a manual trans. option, although I once read that when the '89 TTA came out, the automatic was actually a faster car than the manual version. I guess this would make sense, as it's easier to keep a turbo spooled with an automatic than a manual. __________________ 1995 318ti Base - Cosmosschwarz/Sandgrau R.I.P. 1997 318ti Active - Alpinweiß III/Sandgrau 2013 328i Coupe - Le Mans Blau | | | 10-07-2013, 11:33 PM | #32 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Florida Posts: 404 | I'm scared. | | | 10-09-2013, 01:06 AM | #33 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 100 | here is a few more shots | | | 11-10-2013, 12:49 PM | #34 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 100 | well after getting the exhaust wrapped and the power steering all plumbed, I now move on to the start of wiring the beast all up. I still have much more to do yet so wish me luck! also I did swap the stock turbo back on as I did not want to break the engine in and chance wiping out a new turbo as well | | | 04-07-2014, 11:59 AM | #35 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 100 | Spring has arrived to the WI area and now I can get back into my build. Today I sent out my a/c lines to get a slight modification done to them so I can mount the radiator, trans cooler, fan, and intercooler all in one shot. This will get interesting.... | | | 04-08-2014, 12:40 AM | #36 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 | __________________ ... ʎɐqǝ uo pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ı ǝɯıʇ ʇsɐן ǝɥʇ sı sıɥʇ | | | 04-09-2014, 08:47 PM | #37 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2011 Location: Michigan Posts: 183 | Nice work!

I also connected all the piping for the turbo, intercooler and mass air...hmm, where did I put that air filter now? | | | 12-12-2015, 06:22 PM | #42 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 100 | Its been a long while since I last posted, due to life getting in the way of my project fun but I have been tinkering here and there. Here is the beast in its current form, I still am going to get it repainted and the little spot of rust fixed but its coming along. I also am trying to figure out a better way to place my air filter but do not have much room to work with. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/11...910/GFrisJ.jpg https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/49...911/Z70I5W.jpg Last edited by 1ofakind71; 12-12-2015 at 06:41 PM. | | | 12-12-2015, 06:34 PM | #43 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2008 Location: Milwaukee Posts: 100 | Hmm, for some reason I cannot get the pics to upload! | | | 12-12-2015, 07:36 PM | #44 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Los Angeles, CA Posts: 1,464 | Impressive, sir. __________________ 1995 318ti Base - Cosmosschwarz/Sandgrau R.I.P. 1997 318ti Active - Alpinweiß III/Sandgrau 2013 328i Coupe - Le Mans Blau | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
