so,
thought I'd better follow through with these pics.
Whats the consences?

engine;

e34 block (early) Hartge
few scratches in 2 of the bores.but used it as the holes were straight and not much wear measured.

pistons;
kept the originals 9.0- compression' a few markes but hey it was cheap.

new rings-nothing fancy/new bearings shells/seals

MSL gasket -25% thicker then standard

head off a e32;stripped and reasembled by shop.best of what i had in the parts bins(valves,rockers) reground cam shaft.
apparently a little more angle(?) revy??

new timing chain-slotted front sprocket,TDC perfect.

after the engine was reasembled i fitted a m5 paddle clutch and dropped it back in the hole.clocked up 1000 odd k's before removing the exhaust /manifold and started fitting up the bits

42lb injectors-cheers Todd
38mm wategate cheers Todd

Turbo-t61 100mm intake.T4 hotside

2.5' exchaust 1 coby and 1 3' muffler at the end.
had it running with the old loom/ecu and it wasnt too loud but has lost the bmw 'burble'

intercooler sourced in US.

frontmounted 18'x12' radiator still to come to cool all the hot stuff down

looking to re-wire a e34 loom into the bay.looks a heap more tidier.and then an ecu.looking to go with a EMS 8860 system.

this is 4 months of on/off mucking round in the shed has produced

cheers guys.
have followed all your progress and pain over the last.
only fair i shared my story so far
