    Fixed the locks today, and have a narrowband Air/fuel ration just for ballpark numbers of where my engine is at.

        You have KAmotors to help you with tuning, you will absolutely love the sound of the exhaust/intake when you get things dialed in. I was very impressed with the power gains I felt going from a 2.7 ETA to a 2.7i.

          I cant wait to hear it with the miller setup and exhaust. I am planning to switch to megasquirt and possibly compound turbo it next may after saving up for a while. Kamotors is the one who got me into e30s, along with a few other people in the Reno area. I want boost pretty, would have happened this summer but money was tight.

            Megasquirt is awesome!! I am going to run a Holset Hy35 on min next year as well, mirror builds ftw!

              Haha, same suspension, same tire size, similar color, 2.7i, shadowline... I need to catch up with the fancy head and roll bar but this will get there. Eventually.
              :D

                  So got some exhaust done today, kamotors made an awesome Y pipe. Also got picked up a decent brand new bucket seat for 60$ brand new. Still working on some brackets.

                  Also car runs awesome Wot but was throwing a 1215 code so I have to check into some of the maf wiring. All in all good day for the e30.

                    So went to summit racing to pick up metal and clamps to get my 3in exhaust done and found a pretty damn nice bucket seat brand new for 60$ on some huge clearance sale. Got that and the exhaust done today, sounds awesome with a straight 3in pipe back from the headers to a muffler. No cat, I will also get some videos up of the exhaust asap.

                    Also having some issues running rich with the 173 i ecu, miller and the 19lbs. Going megasquirt will fix all issues and also the ability to tune should pick up some serious gains.






                    and a photo casue i got bored.

                      Car is running great, hopefully this video link is working to give you guys an idea on what the exhaust sounds like




                      If you watch the video the oil pressure light is on but something is wrong with wiring. Oil pressure is perfect.

                              Looks like Im going to megasquirt asap, Everytime i sit at a stop my cel comes on. I need to have the ability to tune so I dont run pig rich idling. Hopefully when I get megasquirt I can get the virtual dyno going to see how much power im putting to the ground and maybe ill setup launch control and some other goodies.

                                could be o2 or cat... there are a bunch of other things that can throw CEL. try the stompt test, too

                                MS is a great idea though so if you've got the extra cash do it!
