70 M2 build

[2002haus]

Sweet Kris. Project coming into its own. Keep up the great work!

Thanks guys. It's a big day when the motor gets into its' home. The alu tank is a vapor tank modelled after an e28 setup. My battery will be in the trunk, doesn't take up too much real estate and my car will have rear seat delete.

First test fit of the carbon box. Well the easy fit anyway as there was no booster and no reservoir.

Are you planning on putting the reservoir directly atop the m/c? Mine's there now.

You'll have to pull the plenum to bleed 'em though. That's not too difficult.

You'll likely gain a higher capacity reservoir which may be important only if you develop a leak. It does minimize some hoses, though.

Start it!

That's a good idea Ray...food for thought. MC is of the 750 variety. Still looking at a number of options for the booster.

You no likey the stock booster?

tii booster and 750 MC is the combo i hope works! someday i will delete the whole 02 brake linkage nightmare, but not this winter.

Hmm, I thought you schooled me once that the tii booster wouldn't fit...

... I think the stock one fits, but it's rotated, right? I don't look at that when I raise the hood...

Not averse to the tii booster, but fit is tight, more considering other options which might work, such as this well used setup from a rhd coupe.

tii booster fits...stock one does not under the cf airbox for an o2. there is about a quarter inch clearance between the tii booster and the airbox on my car.

Which booster is this?

I want to highlight the work done by Usic Choi and his employees at Total Motor Werkes, just north of Toronto. Since I started on this project with him, more and more 02's are showing up at his shop, which is a good sign!

Here is his most recent work

"Growing" the tunnel to fit the dog leg e21 323i tranny.

I have not been active in the fabrication and wrenching and he has worked really well with me each step of the way. Wish I was building this like I did with the tii, but just not a reality right now. Plus I have never welded

Wow - with my crappy oxy/acetylene "torch" skills on my first VW, I would have completely burned up your car.

Lovely work Kris.

looks great Kris! Love how the project is evolving. Hoping to head up to Usic's shop to go over my car soon and check out your M2!
