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.

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.

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.

[TheTacoMan]

Working on the exhaust tomorrow and should have some videos and pictures up by the end of this weekend.

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

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.

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.

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

[TheTacoMan]

Car is now running, everything is working minus the exhaust which will made at some point soon.

[TheTacoMan]

Found out why my car seemed fast , it had a 173 ecu already in it. I also got another mystery 173 ecu with a chip on it already. Check out this thread.

Ok, you guys have a point. Well my 2.7 is nearing completion, just waiting to finish my exhaust.

[squidmaster]

no, not hating. I'm just saying that I did the same thing as well, and called it a stroker because I thought it was easier, but there's a distinction.
