Obviously the Winter months are when the badass contingent comes out to play. Sounds like you've been bitten by the bug!

Hehe. The new turbo is mocked in place inthe foreground, the old turbo (the one I used on the ten second pass) is held by Herbert in the background.

M Coupes only need one turbo to run you know!

Kenny,

Are you gonna skin the rear bar now it's lightened?

What dash are you using?  Old OEM one or fabricating an Aluminium one?  Motec???

Turbo specs for new one?

Adrian

Adrian, stock bodywork will be replaced, it's just off to fit up the parachute anchor.

Using a Stack dash with a Stack boost gauge, Autometer shift light and warning light. Erik will work out how to fit all that shit into the OEM dashboard.

Staying with the BMW ECU with piggyback.

Running a larger Garrett ball bearing turbo now.

Your TS seems very low for the mods you have. I would put your car on a dyno for a tune

i might get it checked out in a while, i got the car in its current tune, it feels right for what it is... it felt quite slow that day i think because of the heat...

but yeah i know that other cars with similar or less mods have higher mph. i know the motor is good though as i have checked compression so it cant be that..

hey what type of drivetrain does that bm have?

That BM has a stock 5 speed manual BMW transmission driving through an OEM BMW driveline and diff. Basically it's all factory apart from a beefier clutch.

Yeah that time seems very slow for the mods.

I ran a 13.9, 2.2 60ft'r at 205mph with 'just'

- Front Mount

- 13psi

- Turbo Back Exhaust

- POD FILTA BRO!

No suspension mods, and on 235 Marshal Racers (Very very poor tyres)

The morning I went down the strip I had it dyno'd and there was a problem, it wouldn't get over 100kw, the crank angle sensor was full retarded and we only knocked the CAS forward so I could have more power, ran again with 169kw

An as benm said, you really do have to drive it like you stole it, don't be scared to go that extra step you don't on the street :D

Doing fine , i still have the trap speed on him though .

I don't think i'll be doing anymore to this car , i'm waiting for my r34 gtr ( its in Osaka waiting for a ship ) .

Mick should be a bit quicker next time at wsid , new spark plugs fitted and spark plug cover off , thats got to be an extra .2 - .3 sec quicker !

When are you going there next ?

Good to here about the R34 on the way. Mick's Skyline will definitely improve ET and trap speed with the spark plugs. Imagine if he gave it a wash!

We will be out when this phase of build on the M Coupe is completed. We will have to run the new engine in before the final tune as well so we should be out again April-May 2005.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
