E36 Five Oh Swap

[oHSo EuRo]

Wheels are torqued and sealed .

Harness is 75% in, waiting on the rest of the parts I nee .

Time to get the headers fitted. Gonna fuck the shit out of these brake lines.

hurry up fgt.

I want to see some rad burnouts.

[oHSo EuRo]

Theres only 1 of me, come here and help me then fucker.

Sealed



Fitting the headers was one of the challenges with this swap. Many guys just bend some lines and add extensions on them and blah blah. Not me. Didn't feel like spending the cash on that shizzle so I came up with my hack job solution. Not proud of what I did for this to work but it did and thats all I care about at this point. Ill let the pictures do the talking.













Money is getting real tight, so my plan was to get this finished for Dustoff on the 31st of May but that most likely isn't going to happen. My vacation took priority over this Tomorrow I'll probably cut into my quarter arch lips and trim them down so I can squeeze them in between the lips and tires when the wheels get mounted.

Headers need to be reverse mounted so they clear the steering shaft.

Me either.

I'm at the exact same spot with the headers/abs lines. Confirmed my fears that I'll probably have to extend them, or get lucky with bending them. :P

[SnazzyQ]

tfw you live super dooper far away

[FunfGang]

Be careful, make sure you heat wrap/ heat tape/ something between the headers and brake lines!

I will but im not too worried. DOT 4 fluid boils at like 500 degrees I believe.

It should turn over this week. I think?

I'm running Nankangs on mine right now and they stretch pretty well and are really grippy. Like almost oddly so. They still pick up rocks and gravel and launch it everywhere and my tires have about 30% or so left on them.

Motor turns but no dice. Hoping it's just a spark issue,
