M30 swap for my Olive Drab Vert!

Why not use the variable TPS from the automatic M30 engine, It bolts right on.

WhoDWho said there was a member on here that makes an adapter to run a variable TPS from an M5x engine. I need to look into that

Yes MAP for now. I need to get a variable TPS rather than the stock closed throttle and WOT TPS before we can tune with it. The stock TPS made Mega Squirt angry. What are you using?

A Edelbrock 3" TB that that came with a 0-5 volt TPS. If you can adapt a 0-5 volt TPS to your M30 TB you'll be fine.

Looks nice, can't wait to see it in person at the vintage.

I noticed your not running a TPS sensor, your tuning it on MAP...?

Today I realized that I never posted pics of the completed engine bay set up. SO.... here you go! Keep in mind the intake manifold is temporary.

Thank you

A pair of Youtubes in brackets appears.

Paste 7gXU4-z5sMA in between the the youtubes and you are done. This works on all youtube vids, that number is the videos address.

Thanks but now tell me how you did it

I love driving this car! Except for last night. After 3k miles on the new engine my coolant system decided it was no longer happy with the half ass bleeding job I initially did and I found my self sitting at a gas station last night trying to add and bleed the system so that I could continue my enjoyable evening ride.

Another attempt today for the 60-100mph. Same tune, same low boost, just different approach. I feel like I can definitely do it faster even with the current tune and boost. But in this video I am dead on 5 seconds flat.

How do you embed this thing?

Thanks Otis. That is saying a lot coming from you!! If you get up to the Vintage I would love it if you take it for a spin and give me your thoughts
It will be tuned by then and running as much boost as my tires can handle.

Just booked a room at the Hawthorne..!!!! I'll be there.

After doing some research on 60-100mph times and reviewing my video I am impressed with the time. 1st point, I started at 60mph from a deceleration and all vacuum.... The official numbers posted by supercars are derived from a continuous pull from 0 mph up to a speed well above 100, so no loss of boost/power. 2nd point, I shifted during the pull even though my gearing will take the car past 100mph in 3rd gear. SOOOO I will be attempting this time again correcting these two very important details because as it is my current (messed up) 60-120 pull is already in the company of cars such as the Ferrari 512m and the Noble M12 GTO-3r which both do it in 5.1 seconds. I would like to see my car do better and post a 4 second pull at 11psi which will put in the company of the Koenigsegg CC8S. Doable? You betcha!

Car is moving pretty damn quick for 11psi..! Great job Matt.
