Looking forward to seeing how this goes.
What numbers are you hoping for?
I will be doing the same eventually.

Hellrot Turbo Build and eventual LS Swap!
Well ladies and gentlemen, it has begun. This morning at 8am, we started.
Phil gave me the inspiration with his cooling system thread, so I didn't take pictures. (Actually I forgot my camera) but you can all imagine what it was like :rofl:
First, compression check, 190-200 psi on all cylinders, I was very impressed! :thumbup: Especially for 195,000 miles. BMW makes great I6s! Not that anyone didn't know that...
Removed intake manifold, all exhaust, cams, radiator, bumper, cams, and finally the head.
Cylinder walls were in good condition, obviously they looked like it had many miles, but it was very well taken care of.
Mounted T3 manifold and turbo, mocked up downpipe, intercooler.
Next we will put in the .140 MLS headgasket, tighten up manifold and turbo, make exhaust, intercooling piping, and ect.
But, I am leaving for New Orleans on Friday, so it won't be done untill after I get back :thumbdwn:
I'm getting very excited already!
I will have pics next time I work on it, as for now, I am going to sand blast the valve cover, and repaint it.

How much did you build your internals? You might have answered this but I'm too lazy to search every page.
Does that worry you at all? How many lbs are you pushing?
I like that the two fastest cars on this subforum are both hellrot.
What one's mike again?
Didn't include Corey cause I never see him anymore and his engines about equal with where I'm at and he's got no suspension work or weight reduction.
