I think we may get ignition this week! I'm optimistic... (Damn MegaSquirt... soon to be for sale...)

[///schwartzman]

Just make sure it is ready for Afest 2 in June.

Oops,did I just spill when the next Archiesfest is??? ;):D

Sorry guys, nothing to report... Chris C. hit me back, I text you.

Shant I'm very disappointed I was unable to represent @ArchieFest II, but I'll gladly help with round III & M3 #3 ;)

Damn bro

[goarmy]

Can you post up the engine specs?

Did you lower compresion? And to what numbers?

Any plans for Diff ratio's, injectors and boost numbers?

[///schwartzman]

When S14.net finishes their server update I'll post the build thread but I built the motor in '08, drove it for @two years sans turbo doing a proper break-in and mapping on MegaSquirt 2 before installing the turbo. First goal is to get the car finished and out of the shop with the new Megasquirt 3 ready for active duty! From memory...

Engine specs:
94.95mm JE Pistons lightened / gram balanced / hard anodized & ceramic domes
84mm OEM crank lightened & dynamic balanced with EVO flywheel, P.P & clutch assembly
-Pauter I-beam rods w/oiling provisions
-ARP 2000 bolts / studs throughout (ARP is garbage... switching to Raceware)
-Race Ported BVHead... Disclosure: I'm bound not to disclose specs & pics, long story, but I'll be altering it (inconel valves, hard anodize intake ceramic exhaust & chambers) so it won't be proprietary property. SMH
0.98" Cometic MLS HG (8.8:1 CR)
Denso Iridium Plugs
COP*
J&S Knock Controller*
EVO oil pump
EVO style oilpan large sump (no a/c)

Injectors are being switched from RC Racing 750cc's to Injector Dynamics ID-1000 this week to accommodate E85 during the hot summer months without compromising power or flow.

Turbo is rated for 500hp so I'll be pushing it...My goal is reliably boosting from 15-24psi ~ 400 rwtq. without breaking... much :D

Diff. is 3.73 LSD now plans to go to a 3.46. Transmission is stock, but I have my eye on a Tremec if anything breaks.

[goarmy]

wow sound's impresive! And here I thought 9:5.1 cr
I heard a 2.93 would yield less shifting completly skip 2nd and you can go to 3rd at about 95.

How much you thing a s14 m3 engine should go for with 40k miles or any for that matter?

[///schwartzman]

You can run 9.5 CR to about 12psi... I don't like to think about how much I'm into the motor or the car really... I send the receipts to the insurance and bury them.

S14's go for @$2000-$4500 realistically, with a verifiable 40k on the clock you could get top $. I'd love to build another one but I can think of a couple things to spend $8k on right now...

[Hey_You]

Love your car man, looks like it will be a blasty blast
