Projekt 2.5-16v,

[JM Motorsport]

I like the design, thats the only reason. I will not use these for track-days so weight is not that big issue. Will need to find something else to use on track.

Gave my rocker cover and spark plug cover some attention today. I had removed the paint a while ago but today i sanded it and applied a few thin coats of grey primer, AMG cover was also painted satin black. Didnt have time to do the rocker cover.

I haven decided if i should sand it down or paint the bars and text with silver. Perhaps i should try to paint it using a fine brush, and then a few coats of matte clear laquer?

Original covers off an Evo 1 in 1990

Making progress, most of the engine has been assembled now,

You can clearly see the ported exhaust ports

If you can paint like van Gogh, make it with the fine brush.
However, is a lot work, or you can varnish it maybe with a role?
Sand much easier goes
Afterwards paint a matte clear lacquer, otherwise get dirty metall very fast

Recieved this from VEMS in Hungary today, well suprised of the quality of the harness, it actually comes in three parts, main harness, relay and fuse part, and injector parts, all parts are detachable. Makes it a lot easier when removing the engine. Notice the thick rubber grommet on the large part of the harness, will make a good tight seal through the firewall.

Small update, waiting for two big parcels late next week. Anyway ordered a set of Goodridge hoses from Ebay, very cheap £44.

Also picked up a water temp sensor from Bosch, there like £13 new. These are fitted to many BMWs but i think they are more expensive if you go to a BMW dealership instead of as i did go to a local auto parts store. The funny thing is that Bosch Motorsport also list this particular sensor on their webpage (http://www.bosch-motorsport.de/pdf/sens ... TC_M12.pdf).

alve cover and AMG spark plug finally done, satin black with a few layers of satin clear coat



Trial fitted covers and ITBS with manifold, bit worried that the carbon airbox might not clear the brake booster.
