Wanted - M10 or other 4-cyl

Boards got here early. Pretty ridiculous that I can order custom PCBs, with SMD assembly, on a Friday, and have them the next Friday from China.

Oh hey, not sure how much you've messed with pulling data from MegaSquirt, but I've got a library for that if it's helpful:

I'm eventually planning...

Big order from DigiKey arrived yesterday, and an order of Deutsch Connectors are out for delivery today. PCBs should be here Tuesday!

[mikey.antonakakis]

Also, PCBs have finished production and awaiting DHL pickup. Need to place a DigiKey order tonight for various odds and ends, such as the Teensy boards, pin headers, etc....

Thanks! Your project is looking pretty awesome too!
Wasn't planning on conformal coating - mine is designed more as a development board, where the user can configure to their use case using jumper...

Order placed for 15 PCBs! Should have in 2 weeks (maybe sooner).

I used the same stuff that LukeJ mentioned for a mostly-remade engine harness for my Megasquirt+other. Works well. I prefer to the inline style in your original post. Here's a great tutorial on proper...

Board revision finished, maybe. Need to go back and double-check some stuff, make sure I'm not forgetting anything. I think I may order 15 of these to start.
I will have to order the VR sensor signal...

Z3 rack (“031”) install finished, also swapped the solid aluminum transmission mounts for 95a Garagistic poly and replaced the steering flex disc with aluminum. Quick and rough home garage alignment...

Not sure if there is a more recent thread, but it sure seems like “2.7 turns lock to lock” is not the key metric, and surprised to see the actual important metric not mentioned: rack travel per turn....

Looking for an engine to replace the very tired 2-liter that was swapped into my ‘71 1602. Open to probably any BMW 4-cyl, engine doesn’t need to be perfect, I’m expecting to do a rebuild in all...

PCB design updates well underway. Kind of a lot to it, so far I have the schematic updated and I still need to redo the actual layout. But, I am having a design review today with the design firm that's...

Rack came out without a fight this morning, lifted the engine about 1-1.5" and there was plenty of room (not too hard, undo downpipe-to-midpipe v-band, pop air filter off turbo, loosen intercooler...

Whoops, guess there was an update in February! And I had the wrong year for the sub-10min run (2018).

Should work on click-through, uploader settings preventing playback here. Here's the link if needed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VG-T23WkTzs...

Biggest pain on removal: splines didn’t want to let go on the rack end of things, but not too terrible. The rack is totally free now, and almost has enough room to escape its confines behind the oil...

Z3 rack swap started, about 30min and close to pulling the rack out. Just need to loosen motor/trans mounts, lift the engine an inch or two, and then should be able to pull it. Garagistic swap kit should...

Looks like it’s been a bit since anyone posted about this team. They went 9:59 up Pikes Peak in 2018 in an e30, sub-10 is a pretty exclusive club!

They’ve been changing up a lot on the...

I'm in the same boat, though - I think my timing map is pretty conservative at the moment, except for maybe at peak torque at a little over 5000rpm where I can hear the slightest knock if I add any more...

[mikey.antonakakis]

I should point out that I did not directly calibrate turbo powertrains while at Toyota (did do some evaluation, though - BMW's modern turbo engines are pretty darn awesome, they do some fun stuff to maximize...
