^^^^ I like the NAME and the PERFORMANCE. :nice:

Interesting thread Nigel.... GLW the project. You and Chris should have no problem dominating the market(bang for the buck wise).

I've got one.

Now i already forgot the info on the exhaust you gave me last night. Can you post up some stuff when you get a chance?

Thanks

[accident]

can i plug your bung?

[einstein57]

of course there is spintech. Other options would be Dynomax VT, vibrant, any turbo muffler, magnaflow outlaw, or i could build a custom one from scratch to mimick my setup.

Dude, you've been hanging with E too much!!

[ethrtyiS]

so itll look like this when done?

[einstein57]

If your wallet can support it

We are in the process of finalizing a 3" exhaust setup that will be mated up to a high flow cat and connect to the factory headers until you guys are ready for the complete install. This way you guys can have a sick exhaust and reduce the time it takes to mount the turbo setup. I'll be welding the oilpans later this week so get them in asap to lock in the crack head price installed for the oil drain bungs.

[mammoth_e30]

Start with a tapped oil pan and wideband sensor ($200). Then get a 3" mandrel exhaust system (starts at $300 for cat back and $500 including 3" cat). Engine management comes next.

No updates recently as everyone has been pretty busy :)

Nigel has my car while I am in MA. If all goes well he will have the 3" pipe (mandrel bent) welded with a high flow cat and magnaflow muffler completed when I get back.

-Nigel you still have my oil pan correct? Need anything else for that? money? lol

-I need to pick up a wideband sensor. Retailer and type suggestions? LC-1 right? Been looking at DIYAutoTune.com

-I'm researching other guages, but it u have a preferred source please forward. I'm looking at mostly VDO guages at the moment and filling in with Autometer etc.

Oil pressure guage, EGT guage (exhaust gas temp really needed?), Boost Guage, Voltage guage

-Where did u pick up the Metric Blue head studs? McMaster-Carr? Many say use ARP but those are $200 vs $50 Metric Blue. Savings worth it?

-Were we going to do a group buy with the Megasquirt? I already forgot which kit so please remind me.

Cheers

I would highly recommend the ARPs...the Metric Blues will hold fine though up to 1 bar or maybe more, but I wouldn't recommend reusing them if you had to pull the head off again for any given reason. They are cheap enough to replace a few times....which by then you'd probably should've bought the ARPs.

Do it once, do it right. That's my take on things.

[einstein57]

I'll be doing a group buy on wide bands pretty soon. I'm also a diyautotune dealer and can provide pretty much everything on their site. And you decided on the dynomax vt remember. I do have a preferred local company in the south bay. Gonnah see about having gauges made with my logo. But VDO does make some sweet gauges. You can often find used sets of 3 on ebay for cheap. I really like the cartech as well. Very slim and easy to plumb. I'm going to be offering the single column pod within the next couple months. Expect big moves for 2011. My silent partner offered to buy an e46 m3 developement car :twisted:
