SR36 Build!!!!! (sr20det into bmw e36)

[tunermt]

sick swap to say the least my friend be sure to take your time with it, shame to see parts fabricated in a rush. Although sometimes you just have to make shit happen with what you have on hand!

for everyone that made a comment on wrapping the down pipe, i know most people dont read what the poster said but just look at the pictures, but i did say i AM wrapping the down pipe , i have buddy in Osaka, Japan that did this same swap and he said it was much better to rout the down pipe the way did it because there isnt enough room on the left side of the motor to go down.

well not exactly, but there is not enough room between the trany and the fir wall to run the down pipe straight down.

Make sure its not to small or you could have a problem. Everything looks good though man.

im not sure but its not very small. and thank you ive been working really hard to complete this build and build it properly, but seems liek everyone has something against my work. but oh well.

That looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

Really nice build though and i think this is a sick swap, but you gotta figure the dp out!

i know its dosent look very appealing, but im wrapping the down pipe so i should have no problem, i really wanted to run a typical down pipe set up but there was no way i could find the room. and thank you i was trying to do something different and new and exciting, im glad you like the build.

the oil drain is at the bottom of the turbo, the top line is the oil feed, the right side is water drain and the left side is water feed.

well im not in a rush, but the ass hole who bent the front section of the down pipe did a real shitty job and wouldn't do it over so i had to deal with it and use that pipe.

Dude. Cut the fire wall. Make room. Your welding shit left and right anyway.
Who cares what your friend in Japan says, its a bad setup.

Otherwise I dig this whole thread.
