My SuperEta. About to get a lil more Super!

[88SuperETABD]

So, I ordered DIYPNP MS2 today. Plan to solder it up, got everything I need to install except a aluminum pipe to weld the bung for the IAT sensor.
Excited to start tuning with MS and get my car running proper and learn it so I can tune myself for turbo.

Also, in prep for MS, and to help me try to tune on the Miller WAR Chip in the mean time, Ive been working on a gauge pod ashtray delete to house my AFR gauge. The empty hole will either get Oil Pressure or Boost. and another gauge will go in the ac vent to the left of the steering wheel.

Also mounted my sub's bass knob into the hole of the e46 center console.

Awesome job u have done there bro.. Enjoy it

Got my DIYMS2PNP in the mail! I hope I've done everything correctly. I'm pretty much done with the main board...just gotta do the jumpers and merge all of em together and put it in the case.


Also I screwed up my splitter...I scraped out of a driveway pretty bad and kept driving and hopped on the freeway. Before I knew it I could hear some scraping. My lip had lost like 4 screws so the driver side of the splitter was flapping down from the wind and scraping the ground at 65+mph for like a mile before I realized it was my car and pulled over. By that time, the damage had been done. Guess I should change speedbumps to driveways, This sticker belongs on my headers (They hit speed bumps)


I also got my wideband installed...have a huge vacuum leak still. My car idles at 18-19:1 without the o2 sensor. fluctuates in the 15-16s when the o2 is warmed up and helping out.


Can't wait to switch to Megasquirt, Miller WAR Chip is fine, its just slow and can only do what Motronic can do, and not that big of a fan of motronic.

Heres my progress on the assembly of the MS2.




It's not too difficult if you can solder, just time consuming, and gotta pay close attention to details.







Also washed and polished the car with an orbital my Dad gave me. I only spent like 30 mins to do the whole car, and didnt wax or clay. I plan to clay my whole car and re polish and wax. It's been a while since it got a whole detail.

Been working on my Rx-7 BBK. Ground off the Mazda and stripped em of their paint and sandblasted em for prep for powdercoating.



Gonna talk to a powdercoater today.

Went to CaniBeat meet in Fremont, was pretty cool. Different cars than I like but cool none the less. Here's a pic my friend shot with my camera on the way to the meet in the small caravan we had.


Sorry, But Black is the best color on a car. So DEEEEP

Also ordered my Paul Burke Turbo Pistons.....it's beginning.

[88SuperETABD]

Got my calipers back from the PC.



I like em a lot! They're super bright, the pics dont do it justice. The color is Safety Orange. My only worry is that they melt when I take my car to the track. Supposedly PC is good for like 300° F

How wide are your wheels?

[88SuperETABD]

16x7 et 35, 20mm spacer in rear, 10mm up front.


Also, Finally bought these. thanks to mr vang on this forum for hookin it up!


I've dreamt about having these for years....its finally time.

[MR 325]

Love the caliper color! The headlights are going to look great too.

I always love popping in on your build threads. Every time I do, you've done really cool stuff since the last time I'd looked. You've built one pretty special car there, man!

[88SuperETABD]

thanks guys,

I'm looking to get my car swapped over to megasquirt...i gotta go to pick n pull...need to get 19 lb e34 m30 injectors, and thinking about getting the 25.4mm 750iL master cylinder to go along with the bbk. To help strengthen the rears.

The bronze guides and rebuild kits should come in the mail any day.

GF's bday is putting a delay on my build haha. But Pistons should be done in the next couple weeks hopefully

[88SuperETABD]

Haven't updated in a bit...been super busy working full time + doing dual quads + aluminum heads on the camaro.

Here's the lights installed....they cut off's are weird compared to my US ellips. The light cut off is slanted like this " / / " Not that drastic but you get the point. Is that how its supposed to be? Or do i need to aim them better? Like twist them?



Also got the bronze guides back. lagging hardcore on doing the BBK because I still need to get the rotors/brackets/pads....but I wanna finish my 2.9L.


Finished putting together my DIYPNPMS2...haven't tested it yet, but wanna get it swapped over soon.




Also picked these up off a member here....BNIB


The lightest is 549.5 g and the heaviest being 550.1 g. thats only .6 g difference. pretty happy about that.


iPhone Snap Shot....haha

It's funny I have a Nikon D5100 DSLR and never use it....always use my iPhone. But it takes great pics i think
Another...


Also took this bad boy back home with me to begin the tear down to prep to go to machine shop

Some how on the trip (engine didnt move), It let out about 2 quarts of oil into the bed of my truck. I looked around the engine to see where it came from and couldnt tell...still baffled. that was a mess.

Pistons Out...undoing main caps to remove crank


anyone need eta pistons/rods/crank? from a 87 es with like 200k but the block is in great condition, crosshatching still on it, everything was suprisingly clean

also traded my tails with a local e30 friend. these were tinted professionally..i think they look awesome! another iphone pic

[88SuperETABD]

Oh...and pistons wont be ready til Sep 14th....hopefully...theyve been delayed due to Paul having some health issues.

[squidmaster]

can't wait to see the completed engine, should be insane!
