Does anyone know how easy it is to find an m50 turbo tune for WAR chip?

[mattdk318i]

i am just now setting up my turbo setup

M52B28
WAR chip (chip,60 lb,injectors,blo through maf)
Hx35 Holset
Split pulse top mount manifold

Getting the base turbo tune was a simple as emailing brody. He emailed me the file and i saved and opened it. Dunno about NV though.

More test fitting

Anyone if you can get an m50 turbo tune on TRM multi tune?

[Jafxod]

Manifold is welded up, intercooler is mounted.

Im wondering if I need to run the rrfpr if I run MS.

It looks like im gonna get someone to build up a MS setup for me and then get it tuned. Sounds like its the best way to go.

You should still run an adjustable FPR so you can play with that for tuning capabilities. Otherwise your limited to what the stock FPR is pushing & something tells me your gonna be going above and beyond that lol

Good call. I most likely will. Once i get money for for ARP studs and a MLS head gasket this thing will be retarted, but I wanna start off safe.

Anyone know what kinda threads/fitting I need for the oil feed off the oil pressure sensor.

Decided on going megasquirt. Should be worth it in the long run. Biggest things still left to do is grab some injectors. I was gonna go with 30lbs ones, unless anyone has any other input on that. I need to fab up the down pipe, piping from turbo to manifold, and lengthen the piping from intercooler to throttle body becuase i wont be running a MAF with MS.

E36 bottom mount ebay manifold modified for top mount and reinforced to shit with external wastegate provision.



Also got the intercooler in there really solid, would not hesitate to drive this with out the valance, which is gonna happen a few times obviously haha.

Getting really frustrated with how I am going to tune this. Megasquirt is looking good but I contacted VAC and they quoted me dyno tuning starting at $1000. My budget is around 2k (I know im gonna go over) but injectors, megasquirt, a wideband and that that tune puts me over 2k lol.

There is a place in Linden NJ that works specifically on 24v turbo cars.

Yup VAC originally qouted me 1500 recontacted them and talked to chris and it was 600 for the first 4 hours then 150 after that.

Wasnt easy but tonight I went from this

You'll need bigger than 30lb/hr injectors, I was close to maxing those out on my turbo m42.

Yup, canceled my bid and now im looking for 42lbsssss

Tacked up the downpipe last night, my buddy tigged it all together today. Looks closer to the valve cover then it is. Still gonna build a heat shield.
