Definitely going to need the 305 tires witch are ordered bit wont be able to fit them until the wide body goes on. | | | 04-28-2017, 02:16 PM | #107 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | New tires came in and new wheels are sent off for powdercoat. | | | 05-05-2017, 12:04 AM | #108 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Wheels are done. 245s in front and 305s in the rear. Hopefully i can get some wheelie action! | | | 05-08-2017, 04:39 AM | #109 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Played around with the new wheels and can't wait till i start the wide body kit. At least i measured correctly, both front and rear clear the suspension without any spacers. Cant say the same for the fenders. Fender roller maybe? Lol | | | 05-10-2017, 11:46 PM | #110 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | I put the 10psi pulley on last night and started play with the boost controler. Got it up to 17.5 psi and blew out the injector adapter o rings on the dasc manifold. But its a rocket and I've just started to crack into its potential. But gotta work out the little kinks along the way. If i get it back together i may shoot some videos of pulls this weekend. | | | 05-13-2017, 06:48 PM | #111 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | Ebay turbo kit wastegate didnt last. Blew out the shaft seal and now its blowing boost into the exhaust and giving me a false lean reading. So i ordered a new wastegate and we'll see whats next in line to break. | | | 05-30-2017, 02:13 PM | #112 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | I got the new waste gate on. Not much room to spare, but im just glad that it fit without modifying the downpipe and dump tube. I also had the o rings blow out for the oil filter housing mount blow out so i had to do those this weekend too. | | | 09-17-2017, 12:57 AM | #113 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | There wasn't a whole lot of attention to this thread so i slowed down on the posts. But i started tuning on it and found that with the 10lb pully on the supercharger ithe 44mm wastegate wasn't big enough to control the turbo pressure. I was getting boost creep in the higher gears. So i went back to the 6lb pully and it then was able to control the boost. I haven't heard back from barrie at midnight so i went ahead and tried out ecu masters det3. Was working well and started to play with the launch control function, and blew out the rear end and broke the driveshaft. Now I'm considering options for diff and driveshaft, even non bmw stuff possibly. At 4500 rpms on the launch control it makes 12psi and i had the final boost set at 17psi when this happened. | | | 09-17-2017, 01:49 AM | #114 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: US Posts: 315 | We love this thread. It's a bit to advanced for me so i'd rather sit back and admire. As for diff there are few options to add a 2nd mount. https://store.garagistic.com/e30-secondary-diff-mount I would imagine a 188MM could withstand this build. Many turbo e30 guys running 500+ on stock medium case. | | | 09-17-2017, 02:57 AM | #115 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | It's the size of the ring and pinion gears thats hurting it. In the photo above thats a full tooth off of the pinion gear. Im going to tear into it tomarrow and ill post some pics. Lately I have been taking Nikki (my silver ti, Markos old one) to the open night at the track. The first two nights i ran the drag strip and it was pretty consistent at 14.6 @ 97mph. Its mostly the way marko had it with the metric mechanic fi motor and 15psi pulley, i did change the exaust to a long tube headder into a 2.5 collector and it has an electronic cut out valve right after the collector. I also made it a free vent pcv system with a catch can and made a more efficient cold air intake on it. But the motor and tune is how he had it. Last time out i went into the drift pit and had so much fun with it I'm going again next weekend. It's a tricky one to get to slide, it has a very fine point where the back whips around so violently. Witch is making me want to start tweeking the suspension on it. Too many projects at once, and I'm still working when i can on my 68 camaro to get it back on the road. | | | 09-17-2017, 06:17 PM | #116 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | So there is the pinion gear missing teeth. Welded up my original open diff to throw in it to get me by till i figure out what I am going to put in it | | | 09-30-2017, 06:09 PM | #117 | Member Join Date: Nov 2015 Location: missouri Posts: 99 | The welded diff is holding up for now. I found an m roadster diff for a reasonable price and its on the way, but I've been trying to get some more tuning done. Finished the maf to map conversion and removed the maf completely. Also put in the 72lb injectors, but now i think i need a tandem fuel pump setup especially for when i start to bring in the nitrous. And with the bigger injectors and some tuning it makes 15psi on the 2 step and shoots 4ft flames out of all 4 tips. Can't wait for the next person to tailgate me | | | 10-01-2017, 12:44 AM | #118 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2011 Location: SoCal Posts: 702 | Quote: Originally Posted by andakn The welded diff is holding up for now.

Definitely keep up the work! Very unique and I look forward to the build getting completed with video, and with more pictures! Great work! I would love to see it in person sometime! __________________ ***328ti Build thread. *** Even more important: SUPPORT 318ti.org! CLICK THE LINK ABOVE!
