Should have virtual dyno soon, Im curious to see what Im making.

I just downloaded it. I Wonder how accurate it really is...??

[squidmaster]

You mean this software?

We used a similar method for Subarus. Only it was an excel file with a bunch of macros. Same thing that's going on here, it'll take your time, rpm, and vehicle speed and make estimate from that against various constants (atmospheric pressure, elevation, temperature, etc). The spread sheet we used was often within 1-2% of a comparison dyno.

I have some oil leaks to sort out, but other than that car sounds and runs awesome. I smoked the shit out a little civic ricer today, made me giggle.
Also spinning the tires all the way into second was pretty sweet.
Some random pictures.

Kamotors driveway pretty much every weekend.

my cow is so ugly ha

......and another E30 beast on the road!!

Very cool that you guys can hangout together like that... where I live there is 2 E30's and there both mine :( hopefully my E30 will convince others to join in the E30 love.

I will try the virtualdyno when I get my car on the road... I also have the GTECH PRO the new one with the GPS based microprocessor which is dead on accurate.

So probably going to build up a head this summer using a myster-e re grind cam.
Looking dynos, these m20s dont seem to breath to well above 5500.

suh-weet vid man, that wastegate it LOUD!

[TheTacoMan]

So, after five speed. Im thinking wide body. Probably going to go for kamotors flares, then save some pennies for some m3 fenders. Kinda thinking about riveting on the rear m3 fenders because race car.

[TheTacoMan]

Well, 5 speed is needed. Auto is leaking alot now, plus shifts are getting slower and slower. So anybody have a driveshaft and a flywheel?

[Peattie]

check the classifieds. there was a guy selling a 5 speed swap. maybe he'll part it out

[TheTacoMan]

Yea I have most the parts.
Reverse is going, false neutral. Good thing e30 s are easy to push

[squidmaster]

haha that auto didn't last long with the turbo

[TheTacoMan]

Yep, I didnt expect it to. However it was fun, 1st went like 45mph.
Rolling burnouts are fun :D

[Denny]

Sounds good, did it turn out to be the CPS?

They don't last long on boost, but then again either did a stock clutch :)

Its fixed, now to get ready for 5 speed. Auto turbos are fun whilest they last :D

Am curious what was the FIX for the 4000rpm Cut?? I think I may have the same problem...

fix was adjusting the crank sensor to sit closer to the toothed wheel.
