My new motor :D

[veronatii]

UPS came today with parts from Ireland Engineering. This motor will feature Ross Racing Pistons (89.25mm, 10:1 compression), a lightened crank, race prepped main bearings, total seal piston rings, 3 layer Cometic head gasket, 8lb JB Racing aluminum flywheel, 292 cam, oversized eccentrics, and a m3 clutch.

Here are some pics of my parts:

That are some really nice looking parts!

What are you trying to get out of the engine? Will it be for racing, auto X or road use?

Nice!! I'm using the same flywheel. Make sure you take off the electronic pick-up block on the flywheel's side or it will not rotate around the bell housing. I found out the hard way.

I'm hoping to get at least 150-160hp out of it. It's mostly a street motor, but I plan on also to take it autocrossing.

... race prepped and standard BMW main bearings?

The race prepped ones have 4 holes rather than 2..

those rims are hot on that burgundy 2002... they 4 lug?

[veronatii]

umm what burgandy car?

[H_Krix]

Well, i know the car is red, but it looks burgundy in your signature, because you desaturated the photo...

I was curious about those wheels as well. Are they TSW's?

[veronatii]

Yes the picture in the signature was slightly desaturated, and the car does look somewhat burgandy...

The wheels are actually Borbet type BS's with Toyo Proxes T15, 195/45/15..

Hey can you take some close up shots of the bearings? Is it just another hole drilled there like the original one?
