looked like it was pretty crazy fast  for the first couple seconds in that video I was trying to figure out what you did to your dash   |  |  | | 06-25-2010, 12:16 AM | #62 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: PA Posts: 283 |
I don't think anything's been done to the dash. I haven't done anything to it anyway. There's an Autronic CDI stashed behind it, and a boost gauge in one of the vents. As far as I know, it's a stock ti dash.
When I watch the video I thought: it doesn't look that fast. You want to see fast, check out the guy who's been working with me on my car. This is his e30:
Also wanted to update a little something I forgot to say before:
When I was pulling the head off, I didn't see any issue with the head gasket. So I'm pretty confident in the ARP2000's when I reuse them. Coolant was the same level as it's always been since filling in last year. | | | | | 06-25-2010, 12:46 AM | #63 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: asdfasdf Posts: 10,002 |

I keep forgetting to ask. I'm sure it's out there if you look for it. It has air bags and is running on megasquirt. He's nuts.
The motor is in, and I'm 95% done. I installed a thermocouple in the #6 cylinder exhaust tube. I'm moving the Autronic analyzer sensor to a new location closer to the turbo and using the old location for the new o2 sensor. Still need to wire all that up.
My buddy said I need new charge pipe from my turbo to intercooler. So that shall be done before it gets fired up as well.
Side note: I pulled out my oil pressure sender and uncorked a piece of teflon tape. Maybe that's why my pressure gauge wasn't working? | | | | | 08-25-2010, 08:11 PM | #67 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: PA Posts: 283 |
FYI, that bug is going to be shot for a magazine sometime soon. I'll get some details for you. I'm 99% done now. Waiting on a friend to come over then we'll fire it up. I have very minor detail stuff now. MY new EGR/AFR display is installed. New bung welded in for the Autronic analyzer/installed. SS charge pipe is made/installed. Pretty damn excited about firing this up for the first time. Also.. just thought I'd mention that a 275/40R17 MT drag radial fits on the back of our cars. NUTS!  | | | | | 08-26-2010, 06:03 AM | #68 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Avondale, Az Posts: 203 |
Waiting to see the new numbers. | | | | | 08-26-2010, 07:28 AM | #69 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 |

I rolled the fenders with a pipe when I had 255's on it. I also have a 9" wide wheel. Not sure what the offset is, but it clears the spring tower. It's a little close to the spare wheel well. Might trim that up, we'll see. I'm definitely more "go" than "show" with this car. Whatever it takes to go fast, I'll do! | | | | | 08-26-2010, 01:47 PM | #71 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Location: Sydney, Australia Posts: 593 |
