11' Z4 Single Turbo Build

Hey everyone. I'm fairly new to this forum, and Z4's but have been around N54's for some time. My previous build was an 08 335xi, FBO, tons of meth, and 500+ AWHP. After many broken transfer cases and front dif's I parted ways with that car and had my eye's set on the E89 with an N54 that I've grown so fond of. I knew I wasn't willing to pay bluebook or anything close to bluebook and since the shop I'm sponsored by frequently buys salvaged parts car I figured finding the right salvaged Z4 was the best option for me.

I ended up with a 2011 Imola Red Z4 with 60k miles that had been in a front end collision. I paid 6800 plus shipping. Upon delivery we were pleasantly surprised to find no frame damage which simplified things. All that was needed was a complete rad support, headlights, hood, and bumpers and some other small odds and ends. All in all to put the car back to stock I spent less than 10k. I drove it once to make sure everything was as it should be and then it went under the knife.

The install consists of the following:
-JPWorkz Single Turbo kit
-PTE 6266 .82Ar
-CPE Port Injection
-JB4 Gen5 +MHD BEF
-Custom CSF Intercooler
-Custom CSF Oil cooler
-CSF OEM Plus Radiator
-BMS Oil cooler Thermostat
-BMS Oil Catch Can
-RB PCV Valve
-2x 44mm Tial Waste Gates
-2x Tial Q Blow off valves
-Custom 3" Charge pipe with Vband connection to throttle body
-3.5 bar MAP sensor w/BMS harness
-Non Stop Tuning Crank Pulley
-Dual Walbro 450's, with return line and fuel pressure regulator +Hobbs switch
-Black Forest industries Motor Mounts

I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting stuff but I'll update the post as we go. So far the install SUCKS. I'm a member of the JPworkz my fitment is $h!t club. Turbo hits the o2 sensor because of the angle the turbo has to be clocked, the turbo also hit part of the shock tower to which we had to do some cutting, and the dump tubes that come with the kit wont work at all in the e89 platform. While its a known fact that JPworkz kits have fitment issues its obvious that this kit is not made for the E89 platform.

What an awesome project! Keep posting!

Mine was also in a front end collision and I just cant get the hood/front bumper to line up correctly. Drives me crazy.

Yours is looking great!
