DanChave 98 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Wow, loads has happened on this since I last saw an update on E38! Cracking stuff Did you get the gold engine bolts plated or bought from somewhere? And tell me more about the Bosch coilpack!! Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 It's been a while since this was updated. Been working on loads of carbon parts for it. They are obviously not finished yet but you get the idea. Sold the schimmel and the rocker cover. Just didn't work with what I wanted to do. This is what's replacing it. Not actually a fan of it at the minute as the plenum so far too small and the pipe works going to be a nightmare....But it works with my plans so we will see. That's all for now.

michael5556 247 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Downpipe finally arrived... Wrap it in titanium heat wrap. Also bought a titanium cover for the hotside Here it is fitted without the wrap. Here it is with the wrap and head shield on. Hoping to keep under bonnet temps as low as possible. Had to modify my wastegate adapter. Nothing I seem to buy from the states ever fits without me adapting it lolMore wastegate springs This picture is just because I was bored lol but it shows my us fuel rail.

First wash from new paint New wheels for it. Test fitOld vs newGot bored and skinned my show plates. Bought another block. Very very high spec Did this for the mk3Went back to standard manifold for now too See how much power I can make with it. Off for post pipes next week Edited August 5, 2015 by michael5556 Bealieboy, JayzVr, c00k and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites
c00k 435 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 How come you went back to standard manifold buddy? Surely with high boost and bigger pistons etc, a short runner would make higher figures. Standard manifold looks much better Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Honestly, I just couldn't fit a Sri that fitted perfectly with current set up. This fits perfect so no issues with it all. Can still use my 4bar fpr too. It's just a win win tbh. Yeah I agree that inlets like the schimmel etc give more power but they also loose the vr6 noise...
