5mall5nail5 Turbo E34 Build Part IV!

[EuroBot]

Overboosted E34 is always bad ass!

[5mall5nail5]

I was about to dis the machining on the brass nozzle until I realized how small it is and your crazy lens just makes it look huge.

Nice work on the DSSR too.

Yeah its the macro photo - if I took a pic at ordinary semi-close distance it almost looks polished or satin. Smooth as can be!

Do I have files waiting ?

MIL connectors by Jon Kensy, on Flickr

Big one on the left looks like a STE/ICE connector.

[herrubermensch]

Wow. Great trash!

Similar!

[EpDarks]

Can you, by chance, weld titanium?

[futureroadracer]

Yup, def mil connectors...

[5mall5nail5]

Can you, by chance, weld titanium?

If you mean such that it'd pass inspection/xray, no. But if you mean can I get two tubes to weld together...sure.

[ZimDoc]

More details on those connectors? Always love following this build btw!

that purple piece in the pic above looks like the a front tranny brace from the auto transmission (my jatco transmission uses one, i think i have seen the gm autos do as well), do 5 speed zf transmissions utilize it as well in the e34? the e36 with zf 5 speed doesn't.
also that dssr you made, do you mind sharing some dimensions with us? I would be interested in the width of the opening on the end pieces and also the distance between holes. also the selector rod on some cars is a bent piece, is that necessary on the e34 w/ zf 5 speed? Did you just use bolts as pins for the joints?

Yeah thats the trans brace that I ended up not reinstalling - it was on my '92 ZF e34 I think my '95 getrag has it too but I haven't checked yet. I obviously didn't bother putting it back in.

The dimensions on the ID of the U joints is 0.810". The length of the rod depends on what you need, but I have a '92 with a ZF which has a straight selector rod while some cars are bent.

For the pins I made them on my lathe out of 304L stainless with very tight dimensions like.





Received some more nitrous stuffs for my install:

Purge solenoid and bottle gauge.

All those connectors remind me of Motec stuffs, bad ass photos as well. Never cease to amaze!

Thanks colby

hey , i have been follow your car for years , i like it a lot . but did you know the uuc dssr for e39 m5 fits if you still use zf 310 ?
this car is a never ending story

[Ragnorak]

What are you planning on changing up with the nitrous system? I've seen the pictures of your old install before, looked extremely clean and symmetrical (which can be very tough to do with the feed lines!)

No idea man - I ended up just making my own because its easy since it's straight on my car.

Thanks man - before I had the direct port setup I had a single fogger. I am going back to a single fogger but I am trying to control it with good strategy using my ECU.

[Ragnorak]

I need to find pictures of the nitrous setup on my GTP. The only thing I didn't like about the single fogger was the across the cylinders. I went to direct port because of that (although not as clean as yours!). Perhaps with the boost pressure/intake velocity and BMW manifold design you get more even distribution?

[Fender13Bender]

Less nitrous more Vanos motor build.

Yeah if I were spraying 100 - 150+ hp it'd be direct. I plan to shoot the nitrous in far enough from the throttle that it'll mix nicely. Some guys are talking about spraying it right after the intercooler.

Haste makes waste grasshoppa'!

where did you source your mil connectors from?

[5mall5nail5]

where did you source your mil connectors from?

I get most from http://www.034motorsport.com/ but I've used Mouser and Digikey as well. The ones on the ECU are from AMP/Tyco.

[5mall5nail5]

Got my solid state relays in, they look trick and are PWM friendly!

Got a bottle gauge and waiting for an order to come in from Summit

Your bottle there reminds me of a well fed Chef
