with some luck I won´t need to change brake booster - I would only need to relocate vacuum inlet and BFC and maybe lean engine bit more towards exhaust side
some pictures from today measuring
I also measured intake lenght and it is 44cm (17,3 inch) which should be optimum till 7000 RPMs and maximum torgue near 4500 RPMs
I would also need smaller starter from S14 to have a place for M3 airbox.

I had no starter clearance issues with the S14 throttles/airbox on the slug. No brake booster problems either thanks to RHD (and a bias bar pedal box). For once RHD is less of a problem when doing an upgrade!!

hmm , nice setup mate
I didn´t know, that you have it - how is it working for you?
you used bigger adapter between head and intake, so you couldn´t have starter clearance issues and I envy you your RHD now

Good progress, you may need to modify the fluid resevoir, i tell you, the clutch fluid resevoir has a pipe from it going to the clutch cylinder, that plastic piece that connects to it, get 2 of them and fluid piping, mount the brake fluid resevoir and tie clip the pipes and connect the plastic pipes to the brake cylinder and you should be ok!!! also Ive noticed you have 325 injectors there, shouldnt you put 320 injectors? you are over fueling that engine, OR fit E36 injectors, it has 4 pintl injector holes better, its what im running.. M3 injectors.

I ordered connection pieces from 02 - they also had relocated fluid resevoir
they are not 325 injectors - they are stock 318i M10 injectors now, but I can change them easily in the future for M3 ones

Ok, but those injectors in the picture are 325 then changed to 318? cos 325 injectors are light blue, try M3 injectors and get the ones with 4 pintl holes, not 2.
