Turbo M42 done! Almost..

[gsxrcop]

Project is about 90% done, still having issues with the Megasquirt. Made good power on the dyno, but is having problems running on the street with MS. I have the AFM and stock ECU on it now until I figure out what to do.

It's all good. I just wonder why peeps always talk shit about my car when I post something and then you see their car and it's a POS.

Good and tight manifold.
T3/T4 turbo, int. wg set at 9psi, HKS bov
2.5" exhaust system (cat still on)

Well, most people are not a fan of those side grillzzzzzz. Those should only be found on e46 M3s. But whatever floats your boat. And like the guy said before, its a little bit of c/c. I dig your car, except for the grills, and those wheels. But if you like it, then rock it my brotha!

I like the front , side and rear valence's , what are they anyway , almost look like racing dynamics , oh and nice looking turbo setup too.

Get that bitch to a dyno and have them tune it with the MS.

At 9psi you're really testing the stock system, I wouldn't run it that high.

Holy shit nice car :o Im normally not a fan of e30 cabrios but yours is damn sexy :D

[gsxrcop]

Danny, I'm only running about 5psi with the stock set up and 30lbs injectors. It ran good on the dyno, then had no power going home and misfiring like mad. Todd thinks the drivers for the coils might be shot, cause it was running lots of dwell.
