removed hose nest under manifold and replacing with Samco Sport silicone hoses

I for one would like to see some pictures of how you sort out this.

I had the pleasure to actually see this thing, simply beautiful. This guy truly knows what he is doing, great stuff Eric. When and if I get enough money together for a turbo build I want this man in on it. Thanks for the parts by the way, car runs like a champ.

Before you had the parts powder coated, what did you do to prep the parts? Did you remove all the grease/oil and cosmoline? Or did they shop take care of that?

How much did the Fidanza Flywheel cost? How mm is the S52 Clutch? Do you use only the disk or the whole set S52 Clutch?

Its a masterpiece...it looks a lot like mine...even picked the same valve cover colour.....

OK I know this is redundant, but I wanted to be SURE M50/M42 oil filter caps were interchangeable. I looked it up on realoem.com and it checks out.

My biggest question (like many other people) is how that Samco kit is going to eliminate the cooling system hose NIGHTMARE on our cars. Please provide details and pics!!

What color silver is on the parts? I'm getting some parts done and can't seem to find a bright enough silver like yours. What brand/color code is it?

Thanks!!!

It turns out that the Flywheel that Fidanza manufactures for a 91 318is doesn't fit a 91 318is, the flywheel makes contact with the inside of the bellhousing. The powdercoat color is called Super Chrome, the heater hose bypass, i am going to use 2 elbows to go from the plastic pipe to the nipple on the cylinder head ant i'm going to use a combination of straight hose and elbows and reducers to go straight from the valve cover and the IAC to the intake boot.

The oil filter cap fits, I had it on the engine for about a year before it blew.

It's nice! Keep it NA and it will be a great backroad burner

Too much compression to boost it anyway
