My 1974 02 is getting a new B48…has this been documented??

Yes i've been thinking about this.

More details pls.

What ECU etc.?

[Noho2002]

Motec Stand Alone…had to send to the UK to get files deleted and reprogrammed to function with all the 1974 parts :))

 

pain in the ass but I think will be worth it :)

 

will send updates

That looks awesome in your engine bay.  It looks like you may have challenges fitting a radiator and the oil filter sits right where the steering box sits in the subframe.  No room for the brake booster, so I assume you will go without.  Looks like a super fun project.  Start a Blog so we can follow along.

Thank u so much brother :))

 

Oil filter just got relocated to the top so car can be serviced from the top instead the bottom :))

 

steering column will be rebuilt and redone and brakes is a whole other headache :))

 

but it will be a rare 2002 with about 330 hp on tap 

 

makes me smile just thinking of that

Great project! 
 

What are the plans for back half of the drivetrain in regards to dealing with that kind of power/torque?

[Noho2002]

Back half will get a diff from 430 bmw…the original E21 could be rebuilt but I don’t want to take a chance. Also custom driveshaft will be made and they will reinforce the bottom of the car in general 

 

tranny will be a 6 speed that comes with the b48. It will be out of a new Supra :))

Following.

 

Great questions so far, and it looks like you've got a game plan. Very interested in this, but had not found much encouraging on how to handle the engine management/ECU controls. Keep us posted on the Motec program and functionality.
