Unfortunately I had no way of making the 3” down pipes work with the bottom feed manifolds. These top feed ones are not as nice looking but they alow for better down pipe and waste routing.

going to be tight on the plug wires??
Nice progress! Sucks that Precision and I think most other turbo companies don't offer mirror image turbos like the Nelson Racing Engines do.

Sorry huge delays. Lol.
Moved the turbos again... just no room to get 3” down pipes past the frame rails and manifolds.

been working on the plumbing. Unfortunately had to go under the cross member worth the 3” exhaust. Just couldn’t find another way. It it bottoms out I will try something else. But the low points are inline with the wheels. So speed bumps will not be a problem. Just something sticking up a few inches in the middle of the road could be bad.
the exhaust is dual 3” into a single 4” with a vibrant oval muffler.

cut and flipped bits around on the ABS pump mount to move it over about an inch.
Picking at the fuel system now, cut the bottom of the hanger off to fit this hellcat pump. Then to a 10 micron holley filter that fits in the stock hanger. feed in -8 and -6 return. all earls super stock pushlock.

nice to see you are still making progress on this. Do you think you will be able to fire it up this summer?

nice buddy to have!
What are you doing about heater hoses? Looks pretty tight in there coming off the water pump (from what i can see)

Gates and dayco make these ones with a moulded 90 and 3-4’ of hose. But unfortunately I will have some splices. Probably less than the factory BMW engine with its half plastic half rubber cooling system
yeah i have those hoses in my car but I dont have turbo stuff haha.

Thanks. Still have a few expensive parts to buy but after that it’s just the stuff that nickel and dimes you.
Just putting the tank back in. -8 feed and -6 return. With the walbro 525 hellcat pump

I didn’t want to use anything less than a 1350 u joint. Unfortunately the z3 is tight in that area. So angle grinder... hammer and welder sorted it out.
