The lines arent there, just where they hook up. You can see the two intercoolers in pic #2 (2nd down) and one from the side in pic #4 (4th down). They both have those 2 ports protruding. That is where coolant is pumped though each intercooler to cool the charge air from the turbo. The lexan model clearly shows Turbo->Intercooler->throttle body->Intake Manifold on each side.

It looks like you are confusing the exhaust manifold with the intake manifold and the fuel lines with coolant lines.

Pure sculpture. Though, as someone mentioned before, heat problems? That plastic engine cover must be very heat resistant.

I like the twin water/air ICs too. I hope the main H/E is big enough, that would be my only worry. The efficiency of piping here is pretty remarkable.

Good to see you as a mod!

I am glad BMW took a turn towards efficiency and power. Conveniently enough they run hand in hand with turbo and direct port injection. Its good to see BMW at the forefront... (now they need to incorporate more diesel..)

Are you kidding? Only Europeans would think thats impressive. Chevy, Dodge and Pontiac have been putting out V8s that make a hell of alot more power than that for 40 years without any FI
