Did you make a new thread?

last weekend is come and gone.... ;)

brb, gonna search your created threads.

EDIT: found, watched, came. post fail on my part above, please disregard.

Well, the vid could have done without the music, I would rather hear just the sounds of the V8.

(I have ADD/ADHD/whatever, i am bad at filtering out sounds)

Nice video, wish the music was not as loud though! :)

Do all OBC functions work also with the M60?

[thealbert]

Awesome build!!!

[Garageaholic]

Everything works except mpg. Mpg reads just about 2x-3x what I'm actually getting.

Does anyone have internal OBC schematics?

[JGood]

The OBC gets it's MPG info from the cluster, which gets it from the DME. Steve (hovernguy) makes a fully adjustable signal converter to calibrate the gauge.

Sorry if I missed it, but do you have a ballpark estimate on how much you spent on all of the engine-related stuff for the swap?

[E30M30]

E30M30 I think he offered it free recently, did you check the M30 section I am pretty sure it was posted as one of the long threads?

[iamsam]

I have it from Frank on one of my home computers, I'll have to dig it up and fire it over.

[E30M30]

Yes please :D I'll also give that thread a check again
