Default Hi new guy here

Hello, I`m Chris, 46 from Quebec. Found this forum while looking for some technical info, as a new ls powered BMW owner. I`m currently into building stage but get pretty much all that i need. I`m far from a mecanical expert, but i learn a lot doing this project. Bought a manual 2011 128i that turned a rod bearing so out with the 260000k N52 and in with the LS and why not having a tr6060 while at it? Real good info on here thanks in advance for the newbie question but i promess that i`ll use the search button first

Our cars have something in common, my Firebird also has an LH6. Only things left from stock are the block and crank, however. The rest is full tilt boogie turbo goodness

I have a deseace that`s called ``while at it`` but i stopped just before the turbo haha. I still have to put some meat in this tiny car, ford 8.8 rear end, stronger links, upgraded brakes, but the turbo and complete engine upgrade are all on the list, but at least for next summer i want it to be a reliable, fun to drive little go-cart. Im aiming for 500ish at the top.
Even with the straight 6 lighted up those cars are super fun to drive

Hi Chris! Cool car! You’re definitely going to love being here—I know I do! It’s such an awesome space to share ideas, get advice, and connect with like-minded people. Recently, I’ve been able to enjoy life so much more, all thanks to the support I’ve received from https://academized.com/book-report-writing-service. They’ve helped me manage my academic workload in a way that’s allowed me to have more time for myself. Being able to invest that time into my passions—whether it’s a hobby, sports, or just simply relaxing—has been such a game changer. On top of that, I’ve been much more present with my family, which has been a huge priority for me. It's amazing how clearing up some mental space can lead to so much personal growth. My priorities have completely shifted for the better, and I honestly feel more fulfilled than ever
