Blunttech / Classic Daily S85 V10 E30 M3 Swap

[Row2k]

I ended up passing it along to Epic who gave Steve an awesome deal including a performance tune (as if the S85 needs it!). I was stuck on the EWS, and I just didn't have the time unfortunately to dedicate to researching it. A Pectel ECU would be a complete waste IMO, the stock DME is super advanced.

can't wait to see it running! I still need to send back your CAN module though.

Very very cool.

BTW since I have your attention maybe you know the answer to this as I haven't been able to find out from anyone yet.

The two auxiliary sump pumps on the s85 are supposed to be activated at high lateral G-loads. Does that mean that there is a G-sensor that must be carried along during the swap or is the G-loading assumed based on steering input,speed,etc? I would imagine for those two little pumps to actually do what they need to do this must be controlled or Steve might as well trim them off the oil pan.

yeah I've been in touch with Jake, I'll forward it to him tomorrow.

We greatly appreciate all the time and effort you put into it Chris. Hopefully you picked up some knowledge along the way too.. Can you send the can module back to Jakes when you get a chance?

[nando]

that's incredibly exciting and just awesome that you and nando (I assume he's doing a lot of the DME related work) are clearing the way in regards to this swap without relying on extreme measures like the Pectel ECU.

BTW I noticed you cut out the oil level sensor to gain some space. Are you going to build a manual dip stick into the oil pan?

Yes it will get a dip stick added.

Thanks man... We had a few hiccups with the DME but I think its nearly done. Its done in such a way that we will run the stock cluster and wont need the key. So it will be stock appearing inside.

Should have it in our hands this week

just joined to say absolutely awesome build and very interesting to stay subscribed to, good job.

How is the MSS65 DME backwards engineering going? Are you going to retain the m5 gauge cluster, key, etc??

No traction

I have far more torque in my turbo car than the S85 produces and it hooks pretty well. Depends how its set up

[ForcedFirebird]

Blunt doesn't need traction, he needs to tame that timeless hair. Because of that gorgeous hair, his traction is instantly pronominal. therefore he can run on 195/65-14's with 900whp and hook all day while rubbing the comb through the golden locks.

[King Mufasa]

This build is awesome! I ridden in the e60 m5, and can't imagine what this m3 will be like.

No traction

Epic Build, Can't wait to see what kind of monster you make!
