It's going to get the typical black trim, red paint. Will bodge together some "Euro" bumpers for it.ldsbeaker wrote:Black Kidneys unite!!
That really looks sharp with the shadowlining over the red.
Not that you care, but isn't the downturn tip/look "correct"?slammin_e28 wrote: The exhaust is ridiculous....like a 6" straight pipe out the back....I'll drop it down and try to do a nice dual 3" downturn tips like in one of the threads here.....I think Dieselboost's....really like that look.

Lemme know when this car is ready for sale. Would love to tick the 5 speed diesel box on my e28 ownership list.

Anyway, nice car and the 5 speed really makes the diesel so much more enjoyable to drive. Its a shame more people don't do this swap. All you really need to do is turn the fuel screw in a couple turns, bring the boost up to around 15psi, delete the emission controls and the car will be even better. Also if you do delete the emission controls (which you probably will when you do an intercooler) I would take off the intake and clean it, I cannot believe how much build up was in mine when i had it apart to do the injectors. Also since the car started life as a gaser, and now has a diesel wont it not pass inspection in Virginia? or do you guys have some sort of law that says any car that is X number of years old is exempt? IN NJ that car wouldn't pass inspection at all unless you could get it exempted through using classic car insurance.SRSLY.....will get better vids.

It fits but diesels don't like a tubular turbo manifold. A guy from Holland tried it on his M51 with a bigger turbo. He thought this turbo was to big because it spooled very late but after switching back to the stock (but port matched) manifold it spooled way quicker!slammin_e28 wrote: Was eyeballing a tubular M20 turbo mani.....if the TD stuff fits M20s.....M20 stuff should fit the TD.
Nice skid. Whens the drag race with the tractor?
Yeah, that barn is such a mess.Jargo wrote:The car is right at home in the barn there with all the tractors and equipment. Love it.
Interesting.Jelmer538i wrote:Overhere in Holland I know some guys with Rangies and Disco's who put in a M21 and even a M51 with M21 pump. Runs way better than the VM or TD4/5.
