@@marvinpetersen5037 Let's say I've got very little motivation for Leah right now because of this. 🤣 So there will be lots of updates on this over the next few months.
Congrats on getting the 16v going!!...the sound of this car made me watch the whole video twice🤣🤣...Maybe she has some hidden powers after motor loosens up?
@@lowdl You're welcome man👏...The sound of it coming alive is somewhat worth the time/effort and money spent not to mention stress😂...Im excited to see this one unfold bro goodluck💪🙏🤝
Lovely build bro love the 16v set best motors to work with had a 16 set has well back in the day ran 2lt long block digi fan block bmw 328 pistons alot work was needed with re pocketing the pistons but it worked no throttles used the old school 45 Weber set up magic stuff and a uno 1100 distributor was the secret
This video put me such in a positive state. With my car going on the dyno tomorrow. Having just gone over everything, I'm making sure it's ready and so on. Cant wait to see the videos of this car flying around the track. Does this car have a name yet?
That great to hear. All the best for tomorrow. Hopefully it goes smoothly. 💪🏽 I can't wait to fly around the track with it. I'm going to do a track day asap just to shake it down even though the brakes probably won't last a session 🤣 And no, it doesn't have a name yet. Haven't gotten too attached.
Nice man thought it would of been more with that head and you have the right stuff I remember Morgan made 163kw on pump fuel on jvs dyno after salmaan built the motor
The head is interesting, it's got very little port work but the combustion chamber was modified. So we didn't expect too much from it. There is probably some more in it if we revise it but for parts I had laying around, it's not bad. That motor Salmaan built for Morgan was a thing of beauty, can't even compare the two 😅 There are a few strong pump fuel 16v's that make over 150kw on that dyno but it's an art to get it there.
Awesome figures, pitty about the dip in the graph at start of the power run. I see you have lots of engine movement when throttle is applied. If I may suggest, if you havent tried it before, use an old seatbelt and tie it around the front engine mount through the bolt. It will remove alot of movement without increasing cabin vibration when on throttle. Cant wait for 328i / 20v conversion :p. Take care.
That dip in the graph is typical of those 288 cams. The only way around it is VVT or something which these old motors don't have. The engine mount in the video was stock. It has been replaced with a solid mount. We just didn't get around to it before the dyno.
Yirre yessus.... How i miss my 1.8 8v ITBeast Fox. I have a wagon like yours but 1.6 and it's a crossflow head.told my wife now when I have money again I'm slapping some ITB's on it just to get that sound lol.
You should do it to the wagon if you can. That would be epic. Just for the noise. A mild cam and itbs. You're making me want to do some stuff now. Haha.
I was going to ask why not 2.1 or 2.2 20valve NA, like 8V Performance builds...will be interesting to what power those motors make down here at the coast but i understand and respect the goal for the build, will be great to see what is required to go track racing
I wanted to build another 16v because I had so much parts for it. Thought it would be quick and easy without having to buy a lot of new things. Like I mentioned all out power was not the goal and as much as I want more, I don't need it right now. Going 2.1 was an option, I had both cranks in front of me and chose the 92.8mm stroke just for reliability. We'll see how things go in future, I might get carried away. 😂
It takes me right back as well. Hopefully this engine lasts longer. In the process of building this one we figured out why the other one died and fixed it so fingers crossed, we're good now.
Only to get the pistons above deck. It was flush before. Don't quote me but I think the piston height 9a/ABF is the same, it's just the rod length is different.
@@lowdl 9a pistons sit about 2mm below deck at tdc. So the block needs to be decked to get the piston to sit flush with the top of the block to get a desired CR. This is as 9a is a short block.
@@lowdl i never hurd a jumbo like that befor so for me it sounds awesume keep up the goot work boet you will see ale the hard work you pot in pays off best of luck and may god bless you
@@lowdl youre wellcume boet i was thing to build up a mk1 with crossflow engine with side drafts ore bike cabs with a 4to1 branch and a 3inch exsust with one box at the back
@@carelhenze1700 That sounds like a good plan. Itbs is the move if you want it to work most of the time. Carbs is good when it works but unless you're good at it, itbs is the move. All the best with your plans, it will be a lot of fun either way.
The core memory of your first 16v doing runs on the M5 making its rounds in my head. Clarkson would approve.
Back to where it all began. I'm so pumped. I still watch those old videos. Glad I get to make new memories with a NA 16v again. 😅
@@lowdl same bro, Itb’s never disappoint. Excited to see the build continue🤌🏾
@@marvinpetersen5037 Let's say I've got very little motivation for Leah right now because of this. 🤣 So there will be lots of updates on this over the next few months.
That sound though😍 I'm soooo glad there were multiple pulls on the dyno though. Hearing those ITB's at full tilt is a serious eargasm!
Glad you enjoyed it. It sounds amazing in person. 😬
Sound of the gods!!!
So excited to see it hit the track,all the best 👌😎
😂 Haha. It's the good stuff.
Congrats on getting the 16v going!!...the sound of this car made me watch the whole video twice🤣🤣...Maybe she has some hidden powers after motor loosens up?
Thank you very much 💪🏽
We'll have to see, maybe it does make a little more. When it was on the dyno it had very little mileage on the motor.
@@lowdl You're welcome man👏...The sound of it coming alive is somewhat worth the time/effort and money spent not to mention stress😂...Im excited to see this one unfold bro goodluck💪🙏🤝
That sound just makes everything worth it... looking forward to 16v content.
Me too. Fingers crossed it treats me well. 🙏🏽
Buddy I'm so proud of you that this build is done...love the sounds ND the content 👏
Really appreciate it 🙏🏽
Finally 😂 bra iv been waiting was about to DM you on update🙏
😂 The updates should be a little more constant now. Let's see how long I can keep it up. Haha.
That enough power to have fun with and sound damn its sweet
I drove it without a camera until the top of 4th gear, it's a lot of fun. Will be enough power to get me around track to build confidence. 🙏🏽
Well done buddy she's built for your enjoyment nobody elses
That's exactly it. Built for my enjoyment and after driving it again, I'm really happy with the way it came out. 🙏🏽
Big ups lorenzo surely have the best of both worlds now
Definitely. The turbo stuff was a long side quest, NA things has always been my thing.

Very nice setup🙏🏼very beautiful sounding aswell
I can't wait to hear it at Killarney
16v content for the win😁
Hopefully it will be out at the track soon. 💪🏽 A few more things to sort out and then it should be there.

Makes me wanna not do the original Kjet on mine and graduate to some throttles....sounds insane
Throttles is always the answer 🤣 it makes all the right noises.

Nice one Mnr L, small bumper conversion on the 16v for the future perhaps ?
I've considered it but I'm not sure. Maybe I should, just to differentiate it a bit. Two of the same is a bit much. lol.
@@lowdl I agree. 7 slat grill ftw.
She sounds good.
😬 I agree.
Sounds amazing well dune.
Thanks, I'm loving it.
Sweet 16 🎉🎉
It was nice having sweet 16 in the background of some of the pulls. 😅
reminds me of leahs 16v days😮💨
It takes me right back as well. Hopefully this engine lasts longer. In the process of building this one we figured out why the other one died and fixed it so fingers crossed, we're good now.
Dictator Boiz to the top! 💃💃💃💃💃💃
Only the best will do. 😎
Great video and sufficient insights
What gearbox are you running?
It's a 6 speed 02s box.
Thank you sir
Haha. Thank me for what?
lovely stuff
Thank you 🙏🏽
Sounds very nice👍
🙏🏽 much appreciated.
Very Nice Very Nice. 👌
Thanks 🙌🏽

Did you have to deck the block for the 9a pistons to work in the long block?
Only to get the pistons above deck. It was flush before. Don't quote me but I think the piston height 9a/ABF is the same, it's just the rod length is different.
@@lowdl 9a pistons sit about 2mm below deck at tdc. So the block needs to be decked to get the piston to sit flush with the top of the block to get a desired CR. This is as 9a is a short block.
dont think ive been following lately , did you purchase this shell with the motor or was this the motor laying in your storage
Bought the shell last year and then started building the motor with the parts I had in storage. Took 9 months to get it to this point.
Sounds amazing👌 ! What ecu are you running ?
Only the best, a standard Dicktator. 😅
@@lowdl one of these days she will also be fitted with a ECU Master🤣.

Abf or kr?
It's a 2e bottom with a 9a head. So a bit of a Frankenstein. A budget ABF.
