What an awesome build! My dd is a 2005 E46 vert. I enjoy it a lot. In the future I would like to turbo charge it. My project at the moment is my '87 IROC-Z. Gonna be quite a while before it is complete. When it is, it will be time to jump into the Beemer wrench first!
I really enjoy this car for DD so far. I plan on twin turbo later on, I want another car for daily use when I do tho. Lol

Here's the PDF of the dyno run. Pulls were done in 3rd, ambient temps were 65*
Right at what I expected, I'm happy with it. Car is much smoother, and the guy had nothing but good things to say about the swap... seeing the cars he had in his shop, that means a lot.

Got new tires
Nitto NT05s very impressed with them!
Gonna be re-working my CAI so the filter is behind the bumper.
Then paddle shifters. I've been looking at racelogic TC too... Not sure it's worth it yet.

I've got those same tires, got awesome grip in the dryway better than the nt555, but will scare the crap out of you on the interstate when its raining, those are some hydroplane happy tires, dont know if width of the tire affects hydroplaning or just tread design, I'm using a 315/35/17

Width plays a big role, but mostly tread design. These are my summer wheels anyway, I'll run michilien A/S' or conti dws for winter.
I run 275/35/18. Been thinking about pulling my fenders to fit 305's...

hey josh
everything looks and sounds good. super smooth can't even hear the thing shift. what were the issues, if any, after the first start and drive down the road. i know it was a new engine and trans but seemed to transform. just needed to be run in?

The ECU needed to adapt to the engine and trans, at first it died a lot and ran rough. The trans was pretty easy, the only problems I've had is a poly mount and getting all the settings how I like them.
Other than that, it's been running perfect after the tune.

Wow, update needed!
Car has been running great! Remote mounted my IATS and now I'm not down on power in hot weather.
Got the tach working, simple programming fix. Don't even need a pull up circuit.
Installed paddle shifters
Wow! What a whole new car! Feels much faster, I can now shift at peak power instead of the pre-set max shift RPM in the TCU.
Also have a track date set for the 21st of this month.
Think that's about it....

Fantastic! Car was keeping up with a GTR and Porsches. Transmission gave out about 3 days after, sent it in and they warrantied everything. The front pump gave out, they said it got hot.
So now everything is back and I'm installing a 16 row mocal cooler to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Also building two sets of headers I sold to guys for this swap.
Had this made too.
It's a beauty cover for the radiator.
