it is from a bmw e46 m3

 

a few new bits

 

aproved, looks ace great colour to, nice flat top to the torque also i should think it pulls nicely. prommis not to over do the outside styling keep it simple as it already is.

 

this came in the post today.

2 meters of fire sleeve to go over the hoses where they go near the exhaust to give abit more protection

 

all fitted

 

small update, since last year i have got a new air filter and 6 speed

 

nice build mate, what mods ie up-pipe and downpipe are needed for the s206

 

The S206 now available with a Billet compressor wheel BTW, requires no uppipe changes fitting the stock or aftermarket headers just fine.
It comes with it's own 3 inch elbow and a flange that can be welded to your existing system. Alternatively we offer a Hayward and Scott made downpipe for £180 + carriage and vat.
The only other changes can be seen in Ian's pics, Ian has made a very nice 3 inch intake system and the intercooler pipework will need changing on the drivers side.
None of these tasks will scare those with a bit of engineering skill !

 

oooo yeah

 

I have got the air filter fitted now and with a cold air feed from the front bumper.

 

Which 6 Speed did you go with and how are you finding the ratios etc?

 

its a version 7 sti (uk)

tbh i havent driving it much at all, so cant really say at the mo, ill have a better idea after a few miles, but so far it is v good

 

great looking car mate just needs a proper spoiler now to finish it off

 

Nice car! I love it!

 

Still looking great Ian and one of my all time favourite Classics !

 

got my PB of 12.0065 at the pod

Nice one Ian



Jura

 

New toaster?

What tubby did you get?

 

lol someone else said that to me on fb, yup argos value ftw :-)

its a s206b, billet version of the s206

 

Looking good Ian,look forward to hearing your feelings on the difference from non billet to this billet one

 

up pipe re-wrapped

 

Just had around 3.5 hours slog at wrapping the manifold. not to bad i think, its the first time i have wrapped one in about 4 or so years.

some pics are with the flash, so they look a little different.

first 2 pipes


the last 2


all most finished, as need to lock wire it all now. but the wrap is on so the hard part is out of the way!

 

looking good

 

Nice job mate, i remember doing mine, it's a horrible job to do but strangely satisfying once done.

 

all locked wired up now.

 

next on the list of things to do, was to use the DEI turbo insulation kit.

I have the dei kit, and some dei heat tape.


I first used some magma exhaust wrap on the turbo elbow where it joins onto the down pipe, and the tan mat is from the dei turbo kit. I use some stainless locking wire to help hold it in place.




next was to stich the outer section of the kit with stainless cable ties. i also used a little heat tape on the edges to help them from coming undone.


the finished shot




all in all, i think it has worked well, and it covers more of the hot bits than a off the shelf turbo blanket would on this turbo.

 

Done a good job there mate. I use DEI products too and their Titanium turbo blanket has been doing a superb job on my turbo for almost a year now.

 

Looks absolutelt stunning this car. Id love to get mine to the same standard looks wise...

Good luck with it mate. Ill be keeping a close eye on this one!!
