Weather is looking kind of ugly next week so it will be questionable for me.

3. Jason-(m50 e30)
4. Zander LS1 E36 (out if there is snow)

can they tune megasquirt? if so im in..

[balooshinakus]

This isn't a tuning session, but I'm sure they can tune megasquirt. There won't be time for that unless you go earlier in the day though.

Zander: It's just rain man!

I was seeing snow on the weather report. Now its back to rain so im still in.

if they do tune megasquirt ill probably be there before the dyno sesh then.. thanks

Last time I dyno'd there, they wouldn't touch megasquirt, so I had to tune myself, while one of their techs drove the car. However, this may have changed now, since MS is a lot more popular these days, and they now have a proper dyno. Good luck to all! Wish I could make it.

[balooshinakus]

They will tune MS, you will need to call them though and schedule to go before everyone else gets there because tuning takes more time then just getting in dyno runs (obviously).

This was fun. Thanks for putting it together. I found out I have some kind of issue around 6200 rpms as you can see from the graph. He said if I could figure that out I'd be just over 200whp probably.

M50 with s50 cams, TMS under drive pulleys, 3.5" HFM, pink top 21.5 injectors, TRM chip, Raceland headers and e36 UUC System U exhaust.

that looks like a big issue! your AFR is crazy lean , you will damage your motor if you run it like that for long. should be sweet when its fixed tho

[Zander]

Really wished I could have came along but I was having some issues with my car sputtering at WOT. I think it might be a coil pack but not 100% positive about that.
So I just drove home and started ripping my cooling system apart.

Here's a consolidated plot of all the cars that ran:

The cars are Tom's m30 (max hp:170); Martin's turbo m30 (253hp) , Jason's m50 with s50 cams(193hp. He discovered a fuel issue that was preventing full-power), Steve's M54 OBD1 (214hp) , and Joe's S50 w/ PS delete & 3.5" MAF (227hp)



Here's a plot of just the S50 vs the M54. Joe's S50 was running lean and will gain some power with better tuning. The M54 was dragging an X5 power steering pump.

Maybe i'll come out and watch again....

[hoveringuy]

I swapped ZHP cams in and want to go back for some more pulls.

Anyone else want to jump in?

[nando]

to carbconn? I'm thinking of going soon. I wonder how snow tires affect the dyno readout. :p
