@bimmerheads killed it with this new head for the 3.1L m20. Can't wait to see how she performs! I cannot thank them enough for the support over the years. 280/284 cam this time around, oversized supertech valves, welded jackets, nuke cam gear, shit ton of port work and port matched the @bklynmfg made intake parts.

Have been working hard to get the design on this plenum done. Since we decided to do it in carbon fiber, the whole design had to be re done to make it mold friendly and strong. Here's a little teaser with how things should look once it's complete. Huge thank you to @stim.tech for taking on the cf end of things! 

Cant thank @bklynmfg enough for the work put into making these. These are the first and only dual plenum billet aluminum m20 intake manifolds. Some pics are the completed renders, also couple of pictures of the finished intakes (less the plenum)

Finally after months of waiting I got the correct crank scraper and was able to button up the bottom end. The large capacity oil pan from bimmerheads is awesome!

My spare heim joint arms ready to go!

Got the rails and mounts from @stim.tech  so had to do a quick mock up of the mostly finished intake manifold (ignore the hardware, or lack of). The plenums are being made and will be seeing those in the coming weeks. Then stuff is off to get anodized. @bklynmfg did an amazing job with everything, can't thank em enough.

@stim.tech finished up the first set of our e30 dual caliper brackets! These are going to be tested for a bit then we'll be doing a full production run. They fit 4 lug e30s, require no hub removal and will be offered in a variety of anodized finishes. They are designed to use wilwood dynapro calipers.

Lock down has me trying to get everything sorted on this car for whenever the damn season finally starts, and also putting @strawberry_meow to work ?

Trying to be as productive as possible while we've got the time. Hope everyone stays safe! 

@tangentinnovations hooked it up with this custom mount for my @aimsportsdata digital dash. Fits like oem and looks amazing. Thank you! 

These aluminum door handles are looking awesome! @sublimesurfacing was able to get the finish just perfect. Keep an eye on @leogrande_racing for the pre-order link which will be up as soon as I get a car in next week with oem door panels for pictures. They will be first available in black and raw, clear anodizing will be next up, custom colors to follow soon after.

Fuel system is basically done, every single fitting, hose, and adapter that @phenixindustries had available was used ? @raceartparts flex fuel mount, @injectordynamics filter @nukeperformance surge tank and @deatschwerks pump to complete the package.

Also we (@leogrande_racing) are a Phenix dealer if you need anything, let us know!

T51R mod ftw ? 

8/30/20

Slowly more and more pieces come together. Had to push it outside (thank you @strawberry_meow) and take a few pics of some intake and plenum mockup (plenum and base plate printed in pla) . The next time it'll be with the finished cf version from @spage.sport, and as much as I hate to retire the valve cover the full cnced one from @stim.tech will be ready for pre orders soon.

I asked @condorspeedshop if they had an M3 poly rear window, they didn't but would work on one. A few weeks later usps shows up. Thank you ?

Got a care package from @vacmotorsports, can't wait to install this bad boy. I run a large case diff on my e30 utilizing a e46m cover. Thank you @driftylicious #vacmotorsports

She got a big booty so I call her big booty ?

Huge thanks to the guys at @vacmotorsports and @driftylicious for the diff cover. Had to massage a few things since this isn't exactly an oem application, but worked out great. Also decided to throw on a pair of @stim.tech fill and drain plugs.

This project was a few years in the making, and with the help of many friends, and countless hours, the dual plenum m20 intake is finally approaching its final stage. Soon no more printed mock up ?
