Last Friday I was able to put the car on scales and finally adjust the suspension. Results are:  

Fuel delivery has been installed and tested. It is now time to set up all of the electrical parts. Wiring under the hood was cleaned up., since there is a lot more of it coming.  Battery cable is now terminated at junction block.  A new lead runs from there to the starter. Another distribution block was set up for all positive connectors under the hood.  They all used to terminate on the starter.  That was a bit messy.  

First thing that EFI requires is a 2 fuel line.  One feeding the fuel injectors and the other to return access fuel back to the tank. A stock BMW 2002 only has one line. It;s a plastic line that runs inside the cab and was designed to feed the carburetor at 3.5 PSI.  The news system will put out about 50 PSI. 

After driving with a big 533 alternator for a few years i finally replaced it with something a little more speedy.  This one if from Performance Distributors and is 6lb and produces 50 AMP.

Installation is not too complicated.  The smaller of the mounting holes is threaded for the M8 bolt, same size as used for 2002 alternator mounting.  A spacer was used to place the alternator in the proper spot.

A few broken rockers did not stop KGB-Racing BMW 2002 from attending SCCA Solo Nationals in Lincoln, NE.

Three weeks prior to the departure date at American Autocross Series event at Marina CA a disaster struck.  In the end of the day car lost power and start making a lot of noise from the engine bay.  Fear we had was that the bearing were gone, but to a pleasant surprise, after taking the valve cover off we discovered that the problem was in the head.  Exhaust rocker for #1 piston was broken.  The pad fell off and was sitting in two pieces next to the valve spring.  Lucky for us it did not fall into any oil passages.
