E30 M3 S14 Turbo @ Castro's, No. Hollywood

[///schwartzman]

Thanks, should have an update this week. Chris & Alex Castro and Derek of DMS are trying to get her in show 'n go shape now, shouldn't be long now!

[///schwartzman]

Well, received a call from Chris Castro last week, making good on his promise to see my project through and make everything right... He shipped it over to Derek @DMS and I received news from Derek that he has completed the über sano MS3 assembly... And the harness install is underway! I think I can smell gasoline! :)

MS3 /MSX... Itty bitty living space...




Pretty discreet, cause that's how we roll!

[ehrnst]

i would like a PnP MS3/X for M20

[///schwartzman]

I'm pretty sure Derek has that covered... Of course you'd have to specify your options.

Well, forgive the long drawn out thread, I have been without my car for 23 months, 3 weeks, 1 day... Well you get it. But Derek (DMS) has promised that my car will be up and running for pick up at Castro's on Friday 12/14/12 the 2 year anniversary, with its new MegaSquirt3 & turbo gear! I am anxiously awaiting the minute... That means if the Mayan calendar is right I have 6 days to drive it!!! :( Needless to say I'm disappointed at the many timeframes and lack of pics to keep you updated, but relieved it is coming to an end.

I MISS MY CAR!!!! FRIDAY guys, stay tuned...

I'm shooting up there Friday 12/14 @10am, Chris has some work to do on it (fix mirrors, camber plates, & misc.) still but I'm hoping we can schedule it out... Hit me up Barry.

Tuning issues was the main hold up, and Chris thought Osh would be able to burn a custom chip which didn't pan out... So he suggested going back to MegaSquirt 3 this time all new hardware, ID-1000 injectors, COP etc. etc. the "other projects" should've been in line...

Thanks! The goal is to make it to Dockweiler & Archie's... Derek says its going well. I don't expect to be able to run crazy boost until we fine tune a few maps and get the EGT & knock controller set up, but just to be able to represent will be the best Christmas present right now.

COP's light it off! Garrett turbo blanket ready to control heat...

Cam sensor ready...

ID-1000's ready for 500hp flow duty

Tuning was the big hold up? Damn that really does suck.
Osh, as in RMS Osh?

[///schwartzman]

Yup... The tuning has been drama. Cold start and dumping fuel mostly, but with a second set of new injectors and COP instead of dizzy wires that always go bad I think Derek can get the issues under control... He is pretty meticulous, I think he went wire by wire through the harness to make sure there was no install issues when it comes time for tuning.
