once i sort out power steering i will reconnect that stupid BOV.

I thought seeing as the rb30's had no bov that i would be alright.

they dont seem to cut out.

It normally happens after the car is warm. And doesn't always happen when i build up some boost. Further investigation be will be done, once timing is set right, and i have some temperature readings, and thermos hooked up.

well i am getting it tuned within the next couple of weeks i have decied.

so i am contemplating just pikcing up a second hand safc as the amount of black shit covering the car is definatley caused by it running to rich.....

I put spacers between the crank anlge sensor (as i dont have a cover on.... bonnet reasons), and it seems to have helped, this and the fittment of constant thermo fans also.

I am flushing the radiator and the engine oil out now aswell, so if all goes to plan hopefully no probs from here on in.

Also have found that there has been some sprayed coolant at the back of the motor, whether this is the heater hoses or the head i dont know..... too hard to tell. but ehater hoses are all clamped really tight...

i let you know my dyno result also... hoping for anything above 160 rwkw....

Bit of advice for you:

Get it running right first with what you have. By putting an aftermarket ECU or piggyback controller, you are merely masking up any original problems you have.

The reason its stalling and running rich is there is no BOV. Put the factory recirculating one or any non-rice recirculating one (if you plan on running more than 12-14psi) and you'll see your car will stop spewing out unburnt petrol onto your bumper. Its not a blown HG or anything else serious. At worst there are a few vacuum hoses that may be leaky.

Using the stock turbo, putting it to 11-13 PSI will result in 160rwkw with your setup. It will reduce the life of the turbo though, its unknown how much by though, may be a week, may be 5 years. Expect 140+rwkw as it is.

well i am going to see the fabrication magician tommorow. will have a chat to him about wacking it back on...

the continuos fluttering through the cooler piping, and from the turbine wheel chopping up the air is getting pretty annoying... Especially when your not actually getting pulled back in your seat.

catcha.

p.s

theres a guy in ringwood that we might be able to check the speedo singals off. Picking up a power steering line fitting next weekend hopefully.

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
