Can you provide some BMW pump info for us lowly folk?

Truck looks ******* mean. I dig it

 

pierburg cwa400 - i think is the pump hes referring to, oem for a few manufacturers. simple power and pwm control connections. they also have a mini controller thats reasonably priced as well

also, that turbo placement is tiddies

 

Yeah it's the CWA400, same one Atomic runs for his intercooler. I have another one for my IC that I still have to install. Pump was $70 on eBay for a legit Pierburg and I made the controller myself. Super cheap for a strong cooling solution.

 

Also...anybody have a line on some spark plug wires that are like 14-15" long? Need to clear the flipped manifold on the passenger side and reeeeally don't want to make my own lol.

 

Custom order some firecore ones or buy the MSD kit and make your own. Be there spent the 100s on plug wires done that

 

Did Rey measure an 8.1L wire for you?

 

Yeah. He said he measured 8" wire length, which with 3" boots on either side would be enough... But those wires only list as 12.5". His are 90° plug boots anyway. I need to come straight out from the plug with no bends to clear the exhaust.

 

Had this issue with the turbo truck after "some one" Bent some rods when it went lean.

Went to Oriley's and got the longest set they had. There listed at 12 but I think that was between the boots and not overall.

They where longer than the "Long" factory wires. Maybe try that.

 

Welp it finally runs, albeit without a belt and on a battery charger. I had to bend up the power steering pressure line to fit with the blower stuff and its too haggard to seal now in the stock location. Ended up cobbling something together to get the truck operational with the square coil plug wires...






Plug wires, coil pack mounting, coolant reservoir...basically everything on the passenger side of the engine bay will need to be redone but this will make sure it is mobile enough to move to the new house in a couple weeks.



I can grab the turbo shaft at idle and stop it, and it stays stopped until I rev it back up.....its gonna be a laggy *****. Have a nitrous kit to install yet though, that ought to save me some spool time. Horn and hood latch still fit

 

New House??? Smog exempt hopefully...
