Bi-monthly contribution to the car industry, seems weekly at this velocity lol.

Needed an undertray to protect debris and stuff flying into the engine bay which may or may not have caused my power steering belt to pop off at the track.

Turns out OEM plastic one is quite hard to come by so this alloy one was chosen instead. They're readily available and also cheaper than a brand new OEM one.

Oh yeah new dust sheilds for the rose joints because Black Friday sale dis dat.

who made the undertray? obviously the main shape is pretty simple but looks like it has a large 90 bend too which is not so easy to do neatly in the shed

Greg Kruse Tech lol..

Funny enough he's bought a F80 M3 and racing it.

I sense GKtech parts for it now. He does post things on what he plans to do and you can tell the BMW FBO purists are eye twitching and getting all hot and bothered LOL...

It's like getting a custom exhaust, using SP Mufflers, an AES valve, etc. BMW fan boys will all have heart attacks.

I reckon you nearly could email Greg and tell him he needs to make them lol.

But at the same time, he's too busy playing with his F80 M3 now.

  • 2 weeks later...

OEM clutch on the fan assembly seized, probably why it always sounds like a taxi.

Went online to buy a new aftermarket clutch, turns out it doesn't fit.

Shit box..

can you measure the PCD for the fan and the coupling? I just went through this on the stagea and have a GKTech adapter I can't use that might fix your problem

Isn't the consensus with these, oem only. Everything else is shit seems to ring a bell. 

EFI Solutions has no stock 😞

Just Jap wants $649 

Lol...

This one is already a 2nd, 2nd hand one 😭

I've destroyed two already, they don't seem to like high RPM and track use. Them seem to seize and become static units.

Might have to buy a 3rd, 2nd hand one...

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
