This is insane!

Nkc · 08-04-2015, 01:11 PM

You make it sound so simple. Amazing build. Please show us some videos.

Z-Works · 08-04-2015, 04:15 PM

I'm very happy to see you like the project, thank you very much!

It was a dream of me to make this real, and now it comes true.

Haha

maybe sounds easy, but there are a thousand of details that almost drove me mad

But everyone of them is a nice challenge

Some people in Germany asked me if it was Plug&Play

Jep, for sure

Indeed! Subbed for further insanity.

Shredicus · 08-04-2015, 05:46 PM

That is the most of insane engine swap I could think of. Imagine a viper v10 in a miata; this is that nuts

Jakester · 08-04-2015, 06:03 PM

This is glorious, subscribed for updates.

Alpine F31 · 08-04-2015, 06:15 PM

Not only does it make tremendous power, the BMW V10 has one of the best exhaust notes of any engine ever made. I can't wait to hear this thing!

Excellent swap!

einbruch10 · 08-04-2015, 06:49 PM

This is incredible.

Dackelone · 08-04-2015, 06:59 PM

Fabi189 we need more pics! We all can't get enough of your build!!!

Blakkflame · 08-04-2015, 08:23 PM

Great job Fabi, but also your GTR ......

Z-Works · 08-05-2015, 02:32 AM

Wow, so much enthusiasm

David, tell me which pics do you want to see

There are so many details that I didn't show, but they are more technical than show&shine.
Real cool pics will follow when the BBS E88 are finally mounted and the engine compartment is finished

Elsabor67 · 08-05-2015, 04:02 AM

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Really want to see it in person when it's done!!!!!

Kudos for an awesome build!!!!

Z-Works · 08-05-2015, 03:03 PM

So, now I need your help

As in Germany almost nobody uses universal air filters, maybe some of you can help me.
For the first testruns I want to use simple K&N (or other brand?!) universal clamp on filters, which will be directly mounted on the intakes of the airbox.

The inside diameter of the box is 82mm, and I have enough space to fit a filter with about 300mm length and 180mm with.
Round tapered (coned) filters would be perfect, just like this:

What's about K&N X-Stream filters?

Would be cool to hear some recommendation

We want every tech detail.
For instance: what dme did you use? stock? aftermarket?

That aluminium brace to hold the radiators; I assume that is not stock but a custom cnc made piece?

Absolutely awesome!
Reminds me of that Bulgarian guy who did something similar and even uses it for (I think) rallye racing. One of his videos:

GOS7 · 08-05-2015, 04:41 PM

Wow! This is the type of build I dream about. Your skill level is legendary! Can't wait to see vids of this thing moving.
