B23ET Project page

The fully rebuilt B23ET will be installed in my 1988 745GLE. I am planning on changing all of the wirring from the computers to the engine bay and the main multiplugs under the dash. The wirring will be from a 1988 740 Turbo in order to insure decent wirring and the correct multiplugs.

Turbo auxillary cooling circuit:
    I'm planning an Audi-style cooling circuit for the turbo. It will have a separate rad and electric coolant pump. The pump will be controlled by a thermoswitch and the ignition so that it will come on when the engine is running and will only shut off once the coolant has cooled sufficiently.
