Patterson Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Built new intake set up for the Bimmer today. What should have taken an hour or so turned into 4 hours. In the end it came out awesome, price was great, the man knows his stuff. Car runs great, throttle response is better, mid-top end power is certainly up. In a few weeks I will be going back for the exhaust to be built. Jon is the man! Now I need to clear time to Powdercoat it for a finished product.

Patterson Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Whoops, uploading now. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/001-2.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/005-6.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/008-2.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/009-2.jpg http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/010-1.jpg I need to go back to have bungs installed after i decide on which nozzles to install. We also got to looking at the MAF, and figured out that we can do it like a GM and weld a flange directly to the pipe for the element, and ditching the MAF housing all together.

Bam Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Uhhhh....that took 4 hours? Jesus, I could have done that in 10 minutes in a vatozone parking lot, WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Uhhhh....that took 4 hours? Jesus, I could have done that in 10 minutes in an autozome parking lot, WTF? Little more than you would think. Initially, trying to get it to fit with the factory Traction Control was the issue. It could have gone on, but it would have fit like shit, and neither of us would have been happy. A lot of testing was involved, lining things up, and making sure it was gonna all work together. Besides, he is a busy dude. It's no wonder he's so skinny. When I got there he was doing three things at once, and never stopped to take a break. Taking calls from customers, and welding at the same time is an art form he has down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I was giving you a hard time, nothing ever goes right or easy, especially the first time on cars. Congrats on getting it done and the headers look sexy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on getting it done and the headers look sexy too. Oh I know:D, thanks. When it took him less than ten minutes to extend the harness for the MAF I was in Awe. That would have taken me hours.
