Ok more pics guys...Cosworth Block being assembled.













Close up of the L19 Head Stud





That's about it for now...More pics coming soon

 

No fair...you're such a tease

lol

Looks like everything is right on schedule! Kudos

 

^ Yes everything is somewhat on schedule...we will be a little delayed. But I am getting pretty antsy at this point. Can't wait to fire her up!!

 

What do you think its going to sound like?

 

At this point all I know is that its gonna be loud. Im hoping it has a nice rumble with the Cosworth cams, all of the head work, the APS 3.5" downpipes, and APS 3" exhaust. I will definetly post video clips when its done.

 

wow..that is just sick...and u also own a 335i sedan too? wow..talkabout baller status..i can't wait to see wats next..

 

^^ Dude I have lots of bills haha!! Not baller by any means, but I do have a good job that pays me well. I will say I did get hooked up big time on the parts for this build. Cost is not as much as you would think. Thank you Treble Racing!!! (i know you guys are lurking)

 

Especially now that they've removed the names on the bottom...you'll never know who's lurking your threads now haha

I want that Cosworth Plenum! Sure add another 1500 to my bill while you're at it

Something tells me your car's going to sound a little something like StylinZ's car over on my350

 

^ Yes I saw his build. He has the turndowns right after the downpipes though. I wonder if that makes him louder?

Yeah and why did they get rid of the names at the bottom...

 

Are you talking about the open dumps? If so it should increase the volume since the wastegates are venting in the open air. Did you upgrade your cams too?

As for the names, I'm not sure why they did that. I just looked one day and they were gone

 

No I was referring to his lack of exhaust. It is cut off right after the downpipes (and turned down). He is still running the external wastegates just like me...not a complete open dump (that would be really loud ). But with the exhaust chopped off right after the down pipes I could only assume his car would be a little louder than mine will be.

yes I did upgrade the cams to Cosworth 270 degree cams. I beleive the stock cams are 265 degree.

 

Stock DE is EX240 IN238

 

Oh ok! That clears it up. Yeah his car is loud in the videos. I can only imagine what it'll sound like in traffic! I'm bound to find out soon enough at an upcoming meet.

How do your cams drive/idle compared to stock? Will the idle be lopey?

 

Really!?!?!?! Then going to EX270 and IN270 will def be more aggresive. Thanks for the info Rookie!!!

 

Im not sure how the cams are gonna idle. Based on the info provided by Rookie they are def more aggressive than stock cams. I am hoping I will get a little bit of lope

Let me know when you see his car. I am curious to get some first hand feedback on how it sounds.
