This guy owes me 400.00 and has yet to pay and it has been over a year and I have sent him so many emails and never a responce. We cam to an agreement about a bad deal on a crank and he never emailed me back and I even let him keep some of the money to cover the missunderstanding. Very Bad Business

Engine management / Will The Stock ECU Adapt to ITB's?

« on: July 23, 2007, 09:55:24 AM »

The stock ECU does not have the resolution or speed to calculate the required fuel for a set of ITB's. I am doing a set and switched to a Haltech for the added flexability and control to run ITB's. Dont waist your time, do it right or dont bother you will just get frustrated.

Engine + Driveline / Diff swap

« on: July 06, 2007, 01:11:26 PM »

The E30 318is came with a small case 4.10 diff but there are a few out there with a 4.10 LSD in a small case. The small case diff also came in a 3.91 lsd in the early 318i with the M10 4 cyl. engine.

Now the 6 cyl E30's came with a medium size diff in many different ratios. This diff also came on the E30 M3.

In the early days of my mods I decided to get the small case 3.91 lsd diff. Now that I am aiming for more power so I will be looking for a 3.91 medium case lsd diff. The small case diffs cant handle too much power and there is only one clutch disc in the LSD as oposed to 2 in the medium diffs which equals more surface area.

As for the plenum, I want to duplicate the the stock e36m3 set. I had wanted to reposition the alternator so that I can install an oil cooler, but that is a project in its self. I will be making the plenum from carbon composite and use the stock trumpets. The length of the runner through the trumpets and through the throttle body is about 12 inches, which is long but this is the correct leght acording to the pipemax software I am using to design the header and the old Hayabusa set up lenght.

By using the stock stuff it will look clean and be more reliable. The added benifit with moving the alternator to the location of the old A/C compressor is a lower CG, HA HA.

Although I have been preaching the use of MAF's I think I will be switching over to MAP. I have realized that the Haltech system was designed as a MAP based system so the load grid and fuel grids are designed around this.

I chose not to use the Hayabusa stuff because it looked less than stock. I am all about form following function but when you open the hood of a modified car and it looks stock, that is a big deal to me. Its more ego than anything. Ironicly if I had not gotten the adapter made and just went for the Euro stuff it would have been cheaper for me. I paid 775 for the adapter and 100 for the throttle bodies and 150 for the trumpets. I then paid 550 for the throttle bodies shipped form Germany and 150 for the plenum shipped from Germany and 75 for the factory ceramic spacers that go under the trottle bodies. All in US currency. So I live and learn.

The next step is the carbon fiber plenum. I will keep yall up to date as I make progress.

Here are the ITB,s that I will be using for my set up. I was going to use the Hayabusa set up but after much thought I chose to get some Euro E36 M3 ITB,s like the ones Tim_s has and make them work on my engine. It was a good decision I think.

Tim_s
I need a timing map for my Haltech. I know that it is not the same but rather I need just another opinion on timing increase and rate of change form one load point to another. What ever you have would be apreciated.

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / E36 M3 throttle bodies vs Bike throttle bodies?

« on: June 07, 2007, 08:36:24 AM »

I have purchased a set of S50 ITB's and will be using these instead of the Hayabusa throttle bodies, I had a change of mind and sold the ITB's on ebay. I like the factory S50 throttle bodies better.

I put my Hayabusa throttle body adapter up for sale in the clasified section. Check it out.
