Kamotors E30-Turbo to ITB M20

Did I hear you ordered a Alpina 157 spoiler for your car?

[kamotors]

yes, just need to wash the car before I slap it on:)

also finished up a bit more under the hood and got a good test drive in.




DRIVE IMPRESSIONS-
the sound is amazing
car is still a bit rich
car spools the turbo SLOWER it feels like:(
revving to 7300 and it falls out of the power band between shifts.
I'm at 1 bar of boost and it is fast but.... feels lazy below 4krpms
has very low vacuum at idle around -5psi but -30 on the down rev
MY BRAKES ARE HORRIBLE I can not lock up at all, takes like 300feet to go 60-0 and it feels like it fades fast.

Alpina rear spoiler

Nice spoiler. Looks like the mtech 1 on steroids.

I love the angle the spoiler sits at, and its more "subtle" than the M3 wing so it makes the flares and wheels look a lot better IMO.

Looks killer

Tuned the car to 16psi and it still needs some leaning out but it feels great now, feels like 400whp again.

awesome pics, I love this car.

Bring the old spoiler back! It had the looks and feel of that raw street mangler that this car most definitely is.

I really appreciate your contributions to the community and wish you well. Hope to order some of those flares at some point for a future project. After all, no need for them on a vert :(

i am in love with your car !!!!

on my 6th tune revision with the cams, the car is pretty fast, running 17psi now.

Its as if the car is now hypersensitive to imperfection in a tune now, something as simple as being off by 2 numbers on the fuel map upsets and bogs the car.

good news, car idles as good as I need it to, no issues to report, and it pulls like crazy past 7k rpms.

raced a pontiac g8 gt and I won by at least 10 car lengths from 55-120mph, car still has some slight stutters/rich spikes doing 4th gear pulls, but I've only been doing casual street tuning, as soon as I get a couple virtual dyno pulls for 1-3 gear the drivability will be seriously improved, my fuel map looks good, its about 10x smoother than the previous map which I made 400+whp on but its just a bit rich in spots.

[kamotors]

15psi run on rough tune:)
I still need to clean up the tune but the power I'm making at such low boost is really nice and look how hard its pulling at 7k.
also I've been trying to get a good autocross tune so I did some first gear dno runs, there is no boost in first until around 6600rpm but I made 162 to the wheels in first gear.
