Christmas in June of course!

All that is missing now is the Cometic MLS head gasket, the injectors and the MegaSquirt setup with custom wiring harness... oh, and to put it all together of course.

Everything in one shot:



Ceramic coated turbo manifold:


GT35R Turbo (T04E compressor housing):


Water-to-air intercooler and storage tank:


Some other goodies include two radiators for the water part of the intercooler, an auxillary in-tank fuel pump, 9 puck "Ultra Smooth" UUC clutch kit with pressure plate (I already have a JB Racing lightweight flywheel), single 3" exhaust going through a Magnaflow muffler, Tial wastegate set to 1 bar, 5/8" fuel line, and all kinds of connectors, clamps, and gaskets. Just gotta finish rebuilding the motor and I'll be in good shape.

I will be documenting everything I am doing to the E34 on my website, No Decal Performance. The spare engine is currently at the machine shop and the car itself is at the body shop getting ready to be touched up. I ordered about $1700 worth of car trim pieces from BMA Parts (including an OEM keyless entry/alarm system), and I am picking up the black leather interior from a 1994 540i from the salvage yard on Tuesday (not to mention I have a set of Genuine Alpina front/rear seats and door panels coming in about a month). I have also stated in other posts that I have gotten smoked Hellas front and back and will be playing around with the lighting system to see if I want the HIDs or if I will just do the H1s.
