155whp on custom TRM tune. My ignition system (coil/plug wires(original parts)) have since started to fail so I doubt I'm still seeing that number. No dyno graph sorry.

all that for 7whp was pretty sad, though. :(

As stated, I asked him to check his TPS. Basically 14:1 the whole way suggests WOT is not activating. 135 is on the low side of what we have ever seen, but you can't really compare cars on different dynos, right?
TPS is almost ALWAYS a problem, a TPS that clicks doesn't mean its working for WOT. The last three e30s that came in this month all had TPS problems. We had a stroker Cabrio come in for a MAF and tune, TPS no worky. Came back with a new TPS and made 217 WHP and 236 WTQ.
Also, if you were running our 14# tune with 17's you naturally should have been a little bit richer. The fact that you were in the 14's before and after tuning suggests you are not going into open loop WOT.

We build the most powerful SpecE30 engines in the business. We average between 160 to 165hp. The differences lie in the supporting accesories, coil, plug wires, fuel pump, AFM etc.
To clear things up they are .5mm overbore so not so stock, but SpecE30 legal
Most of my local friends make 130-150whp on high mileage motors.

Or you could move your WOT map values into the highest part of the part-throttle maps as a temporary fix, but you are absolutely correct. When we are reading the EEPROM live, we can see what the TPS is doing and if it's working. Very quick way to tell is hook your ECU to a laptop. I'd say 80-90% of the TPS switches are bad and the customers have no idea because they did the click test.

And yes, I am right on par with the 80 - 90% figure.

Originally posted by brody View PostYup you can do that, and we did, but it still won't give the same power potential. Also, its not just as simple as the last column in P/T. It doesn't jump right over, it will take a diagonal downward slope across the map TO the last couple columns. It can definitely be tuned like that BUT most people don't want to waste time on tuning something that has a much easier fix. That's how we show the customer it is or isn't working. They always argue with us and say, "It clicks" but when we show them in WinOLS that the maps are not activating they get the hint LOL.

Yeah we don't use WinOLS for tuning for the most part, TP is quite fast and are used to it after years of GM/Honda/Nissan tuning EEPROMs. Add a custom definition and off you go. Let the others crack your code :)
BTW, sent you a PM.

It doesn't end with the e30, either. All the motors after the m50 have severe PCV issues. Why would you use tubing/plastic that's NOT oil resistant for a crankcase ventilation? BMW charges $2400 for an oil pan gasket replacement, stuff like that keeps us in business sometimes :( Rather be building turbo/suspension kits and tuning cars lol

Guys the engine died on saturday, little bit of troubleshooting identifyed that there was 0 spark. I had a brand spanking new cps laying around, installed it and voila!! I hope this had something to do with the tune.. Bad cps= poor performance? I still have to troubleshoot the tps though so stay tuned..
