You guys should make a radiator for the BMW E30 as well by the way. Nobody makes one and with over 200 SpecE30s out there racing, we deserve a quality aluminum radiator.

What did you get rid of the Evo? So clean...

How do you know we don't

? We have a few prints that fit 1988-1999 E30 and E36. One is a lightweight model (more race oriented) and one is a standard 56mm core. E-mail if you're interested, I'll try to cut you a deal.

For a BRZ

!!! Duhhhh. Some days I wonder why I did, or why I didn't just buy another one. However, I'm mostly glad I got the BRZ. Once it is turbo'd, I'm sure those Evo days will be behind me

This should be a fun build to watch. Will be keeping an eye on things. :-)

Good luck! Get a sleeved block, forged internals, springs and valves, turbo and you'll definitely forget about the Evo lol

Looking forward to your build. I went from an Evo IX to the BRZ!

Few updates:

Messing around with an aluminum exhaust - didn't like the sound so back to the drawing board.

Side note: it did save 23 lbs of weight, all located behind the rear axle.

Mock up catch can:

eric6 · 06-16-2014, 10:30 PM

Alright, playing catch up:

Had a prototype catch can made.

Designed a better one but am still testing prototype.

Built rough prototype of splitter ties.

Been working on an exhaust. Which is when I ran out of argon, which royally pissed me off because I wanted to finish haha.

This thread is addictive...we need more updates

I always told my brother he went into the wrong engineering field...

My bro and his wife are mechanical engineers. You all are genius!

They're for sale via FT86 Speed Factory. I'm not sure any are left in stock right now but I'm finishing up another order hopefully this month. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/ft-8...tter-1648.html
