ok so heres the problem. i have used the diagram off rx7.com to calibrate my map sensor. i got a value of 43000 for scale and 2000 for offset. now i got to enter these numbers in and the scale number changes to 9830. almost any high number in xx,xxxx range will give me that same number. so my question is, is that number converted? is it a true value? is there another conversion i have to do with the rb26 on than other???

thanks got it. are you using 2 map sensors??? is it needed????

With the std plenum and tb's i like to use two sourced of the runners like in the apexi manual, it gives better resolution a part and mid throttle, WOT it makes no difference.

oooh ok. now i am using this ecu on a rb25 motor not rb26, dont know if that makes a big difference, oh and also has anyone experience using gtr cams in a rb25??? the problem im having is it will not crank over that easy, i have to use the gas pedal to get it to crank

Just use one sensor and splice the two signal wires together, use a source on the manifold for the map sensor only (dont use it for anything else like guages etc)

Do you mean you need to use the gas pedal to make it fire or just to crank over, if you mean fire you need to pull some fuel as it is too rich.

yes when i try to fire it i need to put the pedal like half way down then it will fire right up. now if it makes any different i am using e85 aswell with the GTR cams.

yep E85 will require alot of work on the cold start compesarion scaling and so forth. Best bet is to get the car warm tune it, then work on the cold start the next day. At least you then have a good "tune" to warm up to..... no pont spending hours on getting the starting right then having to rescale the maps once the real tuning begins.

      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.
