    looks like it could have used quite a bit more tuning. was that from your first motronic session or after MS?

      This was a first rough tune of MS, could have been tuned better for sure. But I was late for work.

          yeah but don't expect it to be reliable or last long.

            This is a reliable boosted M42. Inexpensive compared to a 24v but I wouldn't say cheap.

            Also not exactly street legal.

            It was reliable enough that we finished every race we entered last year (running with BMWCCA club racing). Compared to other cars running in modified class we had excellent reliability (we finished every race we entered and drove the car on the trailer after every race).

              Do you have a parts list of what you used on this engine?
