Update > Alright guys/gals, so it's been a while since my last post. This is just a little preface to what you're about to see. It's a rather long-winded story, in terms of how this idea came to fruition, but (in-short) I decided to swap out the N54 platform.

I want to thank > chicken-butt and Wedge in LA for buying my engine -- and the group of people working with me to make this happen.

Here are some pictures...

TUN3D · 04-15-2015, 02:23 PM

New engine on the left, N54 on the right...

New power plant...

Car went home engine-less for the next couple of weeks...

BMW Steptronic out...

N54 getting ready to be shipped out...

Removing the stock twin-turbo setup...

First step in rebuilding the engine. All new head components coming...

houtan · 04-15-2015, 11:28 PM

Woah! Looking forward to seeing this get done. Very cool
