    What was involved in fitting the nuke fuel rail? Does it have brackets to mount in same method / location as stock ? Does it use the stock clips to help secure it?

    What fuel rail brackets are you using with the new manifold/adapter ? I have the early version which didn't have the bent brackets

        Mine never came with any sort of mounting solution at all. I had to make my own mounting brackets. Wasn't too hard though, just used some angle aluminium bracket. Hard to explain, but i think i have some pictures of how i did it earlier in the thread.

            Recently shot for Performance BMW mag :)

            Only allowed to share one shot until the feature comes out sometime next year.

            Resizing the image on a free photos upload site kind of kills the quality...

                So I recently had an opportunity to buy back the Compomotives that I sold last year. I made the decision to sell the Work Emitz and buy back the compo's.

                Got some new tyres on and whacked them on today. This time I added 15mm spacers at the rear and 5mm spacers up front.

                Very happy with the decision :)






                Also installed the Cam Sensor kit for when it go's in for a new ECU and tune at the end of the month.

                  I love the compomotives! I want a set so badly. My RS' are so boring.

                      Thanks heaps mate :)

                      Car is currently in the process of getting a Haltech Elite 2500 ECU installed with a fresh tune. Has been at the shop for almost 5 weeks now so should be finished any day now.

                        Finally got the e30 back from the workshop yesterday.

                        I Had the Microtech removed and replaced with a Haltech Elite 2500 + Haltech CAN Wideband controller with a new tune from scratch, while still using the Microtech X6igbt ignition module for the coil pack setup.

                        Car now drives perfectly, pretty much drives like a standard m20 but with a bit more power and plenty more sound :) Absolutely stoked with the result.

                        The original tune when the ITB's were first done was 105kw ATW and the car was more or less undriveable after about 2 months from picking it up. This got worse and worse over the following months... With the new tune, using the Haltech, it made 115kw ATW. So no change to the engine setup, but picked up 10kw's and some actual drivability. Not a powerhouse by any stretch of the word, but feels great to drive and sounds amazing.




                        The glove box has been reinstalled since the photo btw, also cut the floor mat to fit without bunching up like that.

                          Wow, thats cool to see how much more power you picked up by switching to a different management system.

                              Thats a sharp look with the compo's! Did you cut the rear guards to get them that paper flat?

                                I think the ability of the tuner had a lot to do with it. Honestly the car was tuned terribly the first time and there was no chance i was going to take it back there again. I took it to another place for the new tune, I had taken my old civic trackcar there plenty of times in the past and i trust them a lot more. Was well worth it.

                                But yeah, the Haltech does have a lot more functions and options for the tuner to utilise, along with the added cam sensor and Wideband controller, i guess the tuner could get a much more efficient result.

                                Thanks mate :) Actually no, I just rolled it a lot with a guard roller. It's a pretty rough job when you get up close to be honest, but no rubbing at drive height so works for now.
