The Papi Express
In this entry, we hit the dyno and the S85-EVO gets tuned. We can finally answer our initial hypotheses on whether high duration camshafts make power, and if so - how much. I go in depth on the numbers and compare with various benchmarks.
In this entry, we go through pre-flight checks, and we start up the S85-EVO for the first time. I documented our process, along with the final installation of the CSL Competition Carbon Plenum. Finally, we go for the first drive and I break it in until its first oil change.
In this entry, the S85-EVO gets dressed with a few nip and tucks: the Bespoke Valve Covers, the Underdrive Pulley and the Silicone ITB Boots are fitted amongst a few restored and replace BMW parts. The chassis then gets lowered onto its new engine and the re-assembly process is nearly completed.
