I also bought a ACCUFAB Throttle body because my brand new Summit Racing throttle body would leak through the shaft seal on the butterfly. Accufab is good

I like your arrangement with the resistors, I have the same but they are not as neatly placed.
Is the connector part to the resistors some extra-part of the premade v3 harness? I just installed that one in mine, its pretty neat.

I havent really worked on the car lately. i have been really busy with skateboarding. I been filming tricks for a new skateboard movie that comes out in March. Im out in California while my E30 is back home in garage in Massachusetts. I hope to have the new 2.8l "ppf" M20 motor finished soon!

I found out why the car suddenly stopped making power last year. The woodruff key on crankshaft broke and moved bottom timing gear over. The motor was out of timing. Machine shop just told me

Did the valves clear?

Yes!

They did not hit the pistons. Just ordered extra woodruff keys and will extra torque the pulley so will not happen again. How is the new setup coming along Nisse?

I dont think the bolt should be over tightend though

I always use a new key and torque it down with the right specs and never had a broken key.

Its going well, the engine will be in the car soon and then its time to work out intake and exhaust manifold. Pretty sure that PPF will be a part of that

Heres a little updated. The 2.8L engine its being assembled. Just ordered need Spiro Locks for the pistons. The Crankshaft and support girdle is in place. Once the spiro locks come in the rods and pistons will go in! The head is welded and planed. I will inform you guys once the build process goes further.

PPF ROCKS!
