Here’s a video of my almost-complete project V12 E34. I now have manual throttle bodies instead of the drive-by-wire ones. I had problems with drive-by-wire throttles due to the absence of the stock automatic transmission and probably some other sensors which just seems too tedious to incorporate with my plans of fusing the V12 and M20 harness.

In the ECU compartment there are a total of 4 ECUs. Continue reading

Painted M70 intake manifolds

V12 is in!

Okay, fast forward. The old M20 2.5 engine is out and sold. The V12 however, is in the engine of my E34! The intake manifolds have been cleansed and sprayed in a red and black theme and the head covers are wrapped in carbon fiber. I will post the pics up soon

Custom exhaust manifolds have to be made to clear the steering shaft since in Asia, most of us drive a right-hand-drive. I’ve already thought of my design for it. They wil be made tomorrow.
