So steering wheel and gators are self exsplanatory. The big blue thing is a oil cooler. With custom brackets. The silver thing with the black fittings is a home made filter cap that has a feed and return for the cooler. The hose connects it up I think I have the fittings to connect it all up.
Hopefully a happy monkey day Saturday

Hi monkey, your new filter cap looks round without any flutes, so I was wondering how you will tighten it?

I machined a 22mn hex on the top that’s the biggest monkey wrench I own.

How are you going to make the rest of the oil cap? (the central feed/return pipe that also functions as a plug to the sumpdrain)

I am using the BMW center bit it disconnects from the cap. And I will make it a press fit in the aluminium. Job done.

We will see. Should be quick aiming for 400 Bhp right now. The turbo is good for 550-600 so I guess that’s the end goal. I am interested to see what it weighs and how it balances out. I thinking it should still be less than the standard 3.0l Z4 and most of the weight I have added is rear left. So hopefully making it closer to 50-50 weight distribution. And offsetting me driver weight.

I have ditched the heavy electric seat bases and the stupid heavy standard exhaust. I honestly think my turbo waste gate oil system and new exhaust weight the same as the standard exhaust wish I had weighed it all.
Plus my new tinny battery is about half the weight I can actually see my car weighing 50kg less than a standard z4. And that’s just from ditching the electric seats. Them things are bonkers heavy!!
