E30 M3 S14 Turbo @ Castro's, No. Hollywood

[///schwartzman]

Well, forgive the long drawn out thread, I have been without my car for 23 months, 3 weeks, 1 day... Well you get it. But Derek (DMS) has promised that my car will be up and running for pick up at Castro's on Friday 12/14/12 the 2 year anniversary, with its new MegaSquirt3 & turbo gear! I am anxiously awaiting the minute... That means if the Mayan calendar is right I have 6 days to drive it!!! :( Needless to say I'm disappointed at the many timeframes and lack of pics to keep you updated, but relieved it is coming to an end.

I MISS MY CAR!!!! FRIDAY guys, stay tuned...

I'm pretty sure Derek has that covered... Of course you'd have to specify your options.

[ehrnst]

i would like a PnP MS3/X for M20

[///schwartzman]

Well, received a call from Chris Castro last week, making good on his promise to see my project through and make everything right... He shipped it over to Derek @DMS and I received news from Derek that he has completed the über sano MS3 assembly... And the harness install is underway! I think I can smell gasoline! :)

MS3 /MSX... Itty bitty living space...




Pretty discreet, cause that's how we roll!

[///schwartzman]

Thanks, should have an update this week. Chris & Alex Castro and Derek of DMS are trying to get her in show 'n go shape now, shouldn't be long now!

[Hey_You]

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

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...

[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]

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]

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?

[Killacortes]

Damn bro

[///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 ;)

[///schwartzman]

Chris says "we have ignition..." Let's get some video buddy!

[///schwartzman]

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