Have photos of the motor in but has my mate's face in it so rather not post it on a public forum lol.

Here are 2x teaser photos for now.

Has a BOV, said no one ever :D

 

Change your username to BOV Psssssssssssssssssssssssht then :D

Dose pipe installed, should dose pretty good :)

Last night, connected up all of the harness, re-pinned the CAS connector, and installed a new VCT plug to suit the R34 NEO head.

Next big challenge is to make all the oil lines for the oil relocator and oil cooler.

Overnight parts from Australia. This should help me blow the gear box faster!

It already grinds 2nd, 3rd, 4th and the input shaft has heaps of free play.

Throw some redline lightweight shockproof in her and she will be alright

might have to till the box goes boom lol...

from there, well I am not sure.. these are my options:

  • New OEM Box, use it till it goes boom again
  • CD009 Conversion
  • PPG helical set

Started it on 14 month E85 lol... (dw cuz, has ethanol stabiliser in it)

Primed the oil first till it dribbled out of the relocator, plugged in the CAS and to my surprise it actually fired! I roughly rescaled the injectors on my old map and flattened out the timing as I now have no idea where peak torque would/could be made on this motor.

As of last night (after the car starting) all fluids are topped up and will take it for a light spin tonight. I've filled up the entire tank with 44L of 98RON, so might take it for a lap tonight and dump the oil before I start to push it a bit :)

Close to it so many times, believe me.

However if someone walked up right now and asked to trade for a N55 335i I would swap straight up.

    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
    • I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.
