they're black electric e28 seats

Sounds like something I need. How much? Need any parts?

Einstein I left the wheel for you.

Awesome. Now I can go all mad scientist on it :twisted:

anyone know what the stock ecu can handle psi wise?

Its not the ecu as much as it is the air measureing device. Afm, maf, etc. I know the afm can handle 1 bar, mafs are dependent on which one you use.

Oh, that was YOU texting me.

It really all depends on what you're doing setup wise. Are you talking about using an off the shelf turbo chip or having the car tuned?

From somebody who swore he would never switch from Motronic to Megasquirt let me tell you, GO WITH MS.

[ethrtyiS]

yes that was me lol. well would the stock ecu handle 5-7psi without a tuned chip or swapped ecu?

Anyone have any ideas on how to soften up fabric that has been dyed? I went a little think on my seat :/

[ethrtyiS]

pics?

[Balleristic31]

Just sent u one via phone

I would say yes. My car was running a stock 173 with stock chip at 10 psi. Used some tricks to get it enough fuel though. Not ideal, glad it's all gone.

thoughts on how these would look on a e30?

what were you doing in terms of getting enough fuel? adjustable fpr and some beefy injectors?

[MR 325]

24lb injectors, Vortech FMU, additional in line fuel pump.

[ethrtyiS]

could i get away without upgrading to a fmu? how'd you get an additional inline fuel pump working? would there really be any need at 5-7psi correct?

@Mcr_drvr; seats are definitely cool and done well but cheap. If you go custom, why cheap out with vinyl? Looks pretty decent IMO.

[mcr_driver]

didn't notice they were vinyl but definitely liking the diamond pattern. i would have gone suede personally.

A steel brush like the ones used to clean a grill, i used it on my carpet & worked great, but it might be too harsh for a seat
