s50 vs m54 vs m50 vs m30 dyno

you'd have to couple it with a shorter diff/higher redline. it just changes where you'd shift is all.

200whp is great for a 2.5l, but I don't think having that power only at 6500 is that useful. The problem is that his torque is down 50ft-lbs across the board.

Displacement!

BTW, ESS is selling a complete factory ZHP cam kit with gaskets and everything for $299. These are 10.0mm/10.0mm 248/248 vs the 9.7mm/9.0mm 240/244 Intake/Exhaust stock M54 cams I currently have.

I think an s50 has 10.2/9.7 252/240, so these would help close the gap on the top end for me.

From all your work with dual-vanos cars, do you have any idea if those will work in 323s and 328s or just 325s and 330s?

Thanks!

If I do it I'll send you the old cams and you can compare the journals, timing wheel and helical gear specs with those motors.

ZHP cams in an M52? that would be interesting.

[matt]

M52TU.

There is no chance they will fit a regular M52.

why would you do a speed input delete rather than just hooking it up?

well being that it was a 85 the c101 (early square port) did not have the pin and would require runing and extra wire into the car and to the back of the cluster and any after market tuners (good ones) do a speed delete that eliminates this. thought I asked you about that when you bought the adapter from me?

Bingo. It does look like that is the problem.

Greg, I was willing to work with you to straighten out your car, but you started bashing me on here instead. As far as I know you tried none of our suggestions.

If your solution to a motor that isn't running right is to swap in another motor, you don't get to blame the chip.

hahah typical matt reaction to Deflect first and call into question the customer/car/motor/whatever as we all know its never the tuners fault...

well first off my car did have the speed sensor hooked up from day one and your retune made less power than the first tune right off the bad. not to mention driveability was horrible

second I tried all of you suggestions from retiming the cams to getting new injectors and it fixed nothing on top of that when you relized your tune was the problem you blew me off and stoped returing my emails and phone call for 4 months until I started (like many others) bashing your product.

moreover you refused to refund my money after your tuning (for my car) was proven with out a dought in the main problem.

hell even talking to nickg and others about it all of them agreed a s52 camed m52b28 should make more than 18something hp and 166tq and not have a 14:1 afr??

btw I still would like my $400 some odd dollars for the crap tune you sold me and Ill eat the dyno time and cost

also for more back story pleas see this thread

3rd I did a v8 swap becouse I wanted to because I was tired of the bs and wanted more power reliably

on that note I know your a site sponsor and you pay money to be on here so IM not going to try and talk anyone out of anything this is just my experience with the guys at trm.

I didn't buy an adapter from anyone, unless you meant the OP. I modified the harness quite a bit anyway, the X20 to C101 was nothing. :p

I was more curious as to what that feature does. I don't see running a wire as a big deal to have it working the way it's supposed to.
