yeh exactly

which would point to an overall fuelling problem, not an individual injector. a problem which should come up on the AFRs. bcos if theres supposed to be heaps of fuel according to the o2 sensor where is it all coming from? its not goin through the combustion chamber...

is it possible that the dyno is faulty? (maybe a dumb question)

I think I'll make a few hp, it needs a couple to push the whale over the 1/4 in 13.3seconds.  

I'd better clean my engine pipes out before I go. They have almost 100,000kms of engine blow by crap in them. even the bleeder valve has sludge coming out of it.

cbf sifting through 120 posts to check, but wouldnt it be fair to get a dyno figure of the "current" state of tune, after all this is the state of tune you recorded your times in.

No cheating!

The dyno I had done 230rwhp @4700rpm with ping issue, IS the state of tune I ran the 13.3 with.

I cbf looking up the threads that contain the details of the night at the drags story, it contains the description of the symptoms I have still got today.

Plugs are white in modern engines unless very rich so be carefull

reading plugs if you don't know what to look for.

The sensors fine and changed often and this week we've had

heaps of race cars on the Dyno for the 2 day event and some

have made big HP and not broken so the sensors good but will

need to be replaced after the all Avgas.

my plugs showed no signs of leanout, so it makes the problem even more wierd. It's possible still that one piston is running out of injector flow at the ping rpm.

I've gapped the 7s down to 0.7mm now and will see if this helps any.

I cleaned the intercooler, it had a reasonable although thin coating of blow-by oil in it. So that should help a little.

When my back (now completely stuffed) has healed I will change the fuel filter and I'll think about the upper plenum removal so I can get at the injectors.

On the same dyno my car only has about 190hp at 4700rpm to make 245hp peak power by 6630rpm. I figure once sorted dave should be making around 280hp :)

I know what you're saying Rob but I tend to disagree.

Rev210's car has a stock turbo, intercooler etc. With only boost and safc I doubt any r33 could record 208Kw at the tyres on a properly calibrated dyno...

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
