Cant wait to see your results. I wanted a 300rwkw std RB20 :) But looks like you will get there first. i have upgraded my fuel system so i should be able to make it, had a 10cm housing for the 20G, have the new Plazmaman inlet and 6boost manifold...so i had enough new/better stuff to hve made it.

Still mega keen to be running this stuff when i get back

so far the car is running on corona struts with commo springs, xt130 lca's, lock spacers, 15x8 -9 ajps challengers, and flared guards

the car has a flat front conversion, and is getting a spraycan satin black job soon

motor is currnetly a 4ac in an AE71 crossmember, AE71 radiator & thermofan, and webber carby

gearbox is a t50 and the diff is an AE71 item welded shut.

new motor going in is a 4agte (ze block with custom turbo and cooler setup) with toda cams/gears should see around 150-160rwkw and car is getting stripped and caged

car will also be getting swaybars and possibly coiliver conversion....

ecu will be mocrotech... probably

will get pics up at some stage soon

fark yeah that will be barrels of fun with the turbo motor :P

if I get one in the future I will leave it NA... but only because I love the sound of an off its head 4age... the GTR is for going fast in a straight line anyway ;)

sif leave n/a... :)

i thought about going n/a with quaddies, but i want a little more bang, n/a with quaddies, cams, camgears and ecu might see you to 120rwkw :down:

@150rwkw & 850kgs its about the same as a full weight 33gtst with 240rwkw btw

NYTSKY,

Is it your boost controller perhaps....the boost curve seems lazy when it comes onto boost as well....only making peak boost at 4900 rpm and immediately starts declining.

Yeah agreed. You have a 3litre right? Should be getting full boost after 3000rpm. I made full boost 19psi on my 3076r IW on stock 2.5L at 3900rpm. When you get that sorted out it will feel so much better. Does it feel laggy?

ok so we finally got round to what you were all waiting for...

98ron and e85 back to back, same dyno, same tuner, same day, same boost

the car made 280rwkw on BP ultimate 98 and 320 on united e85

very happy with the results as it's a very safe tune.... pulled 2 deg timing out of the top end and only lost 5kw, fixed all the cruise and idle issues, cleaned up a boost spike and got the car running absolutely perfectly.

my thanx again go out to trent & cat @ status tuning, who always go well out of their way to make sure my car is perfect! :)

all graphs are in sae correction mode so the results are the same as dyno dynamics in shoot 6

sorry if its been covered but why the ~200rpm difference in reaching full boost? actually different with e85 or just different ramp rate on the dyno?

interesting results, wish one of the servos would hurry up and start selling some over here, keen to experiment

Stock internals with 320rwkw, you would think this push's the limit a bit, but the more I think about it it...

You can make big power with engines but there is no head room if anything were to go wrong and the engine not blasting itself to pieces.. So a good e85 tune will never see detonation.

I would be interested in seeing this engine being pushed to 400rwkw with e85... as long as the rod bolts hold up it should be good :)

      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.
