Did I provide you with the information you needed or do you still need larger pictures? Let me know, and I can email you.

Thanks,

Hi Armond,

Thanks for chiming in. Hopefully; but the devil is on the details and sometimes the little things hold us up.

Got my fingers crossed!!

Thanks,

Rey

Got it! Thanks for the info.

Trying to keep everyone interested...here is a

pic with the wheels on it.

Engine and tranny going in. Should have them installed within the next few days.

Sits a little high

Ray, it was great meeting you at the SoCal Vintage BMW Meet... The Bob Murphy Tii is better in person than the pictures show. Can't wait to see your NK's in person one day.

If you ever feel like parting with those Alpina wheels, I know of a TiSA that could use them.

Tom,

Nice meeting you as well. Next year I hope to have some of my NK cars to the SoCal Vintage meet. If you are ever in the San Clemente area look me up. You are welcome to stop by and check out the cars anytime!

IF I ever did sell those ALPINAs I will let you know first!

Thanks,

Rey

Getting the engine ready... Decided to hold back the A4 engine and put that engine into a 2002Tii project I am in the process of planning with some help from a friend of mine....in the meantime we are going with an M10 2.2L build and EFI on this engine. Also considering the five speed 320is OD tranny.

Some pics of the engine build..."Pure Performance" owner Dan Wennerberg is my engine builder...I think one of the best..prepping for installation....

Rey, can you give me some information on those fuel rails? I'm soon to be in the market for some. Are they commercially available or are they custom-built? Thanks!

David,

I believe Dan had them made for this application. We worked ith a local company.

Try Borla. They just purchased the company that we obtained these from. You are referring to the fuel rail and ITBs correct?

Email me and I can get more details from Dan.

Thanks,

Rey

I'm curious as to what type of cam position sensor you have and how it works. I plan on doing this with my 02 in a few years as soon as I get out of school!

[rey949]

Nathan,

great question! Dan is putting all of this together so he is he expert, but my take on it is we are using a hall sensor and positioning it so it works off of the cam as you mentioned using all stainless fasteners and one steel fastener to trigger the sensor.

I am not sure if he is using a batch or sequential fire system, but I will get on the front end of that and find out.

I hope that helps!

Thanks,

Rey

Rey,

I am just talking about the fuel rails themselves, along with mounting, plumbing, etc. I have a set of dbilas ITBs. I was thinking about running a short fuel rail for each pair of throttle bodies rather than one long one. If you want to e-mail me off-line, I can be reached at leaningleftATgmailDOTcom.

Edit - I took your suggestion and looked up Borla. They purchased TWM. They seem to make a DCOE-style fuel rail system, which looks like what you have. I'll contact them to see how pricey it is.

Thanks!

Rey,

So it sounds like you're using a steel cam gear bolt for the hall trigger correct? I'm curious to see how accurate this is. I'd assume fairly but this will be very interesting to see! I will be following!
