Brody, how does that work with injecting meth after the MAF? Doesn't that screw with the IAT readings?
Here is a pic of where its installed on my car:
As far as intake temps, no this is not a problem, as the IAT is in the MAF and it is always adapting for ambient temps, so if its hotter out side it pulls some timing, if its cooler it adds timing. Doesn't matter so much whats going on in the manifold, it more about how you tune the car in the setup stages. if the water cools the air a certain amount at 10 degrees, it will still keep a relitive cooling ratio at higher temps.

So I took a drive down to seattle again, only difference is that this time I had an extra 80 WHP! So I was driving this thing and runs from 60-130MPH is Amazing. If you start at about 3K rpm and run to 4500 RPM and then shift into 5th and run it up to 130ish, its amazing, the pull is so smooth and hard! Its accually scarry how nice the car is to drive, its all around nice. I am a firm believer in building cars that not only accelerate fast but also feel the part. BMW cars were meant to be the ultimate driving machine, and all of those companies out there that are modifying these BMW`s are just trying to bring us an even more ultimate driving machine! If I could give anyone who is looking do build their car into somthing like what we have done here, I really suggest you give us a call and we will help you in any way we can to give you sound advice as to what will help you meet your goals in a affordable and effective way.

On the first page of this thread Dan posted that I had come up with a better name than "red monster" for his car. Optimus Prime. Then today, I was just admiring something and noticed MEGATRON!
I thought this was quite funny, and rather appropriate. Looks like BMW knew what they were doing.
So I have updated the badge on the car to match its new HP, the car is truly a Miller stage 2, hence the MS2. We have re-tuned the car with a new experimental MAF Sensor, and it is working great! The cars power delivery is so smooth now that it doesn't feel as fast as it is. But with all our street cars, this is our goal: Smooth factory like power and drivabilty.
And here is the latest dyno graph, as you can see it really is smooth power.

400hp is great daily driver goal. Congrats!
So you're not going for the 500 ?
At first (looking the tittle) I thought it was something with the MS I, I mean with MegaSquirt I and MS II as well....lol
Stunning job guys, your kit looks lovely and the response of the whole engine/output power must be hella fun to drive looking at the dynographs

Where is the intake temp sensor mounted at on your M30's? The only way that the meth kit is going to affect readable intake temp drops is if your put the nozzle upstream of the temp sensor. This is what i have noticed with LS1 cars due to the temp sensor being in the maf. But it isnt that hard to mount an external temp sensor on a ls1 and wire it up and have it function. Just wondering is all, and if you could get a temp sensor mounted seperate of the maf and still have it function due to mafs dont like meth being sprayed thru them.

Your point is very valid, it just that there is so much change in air temp after the compressor, and the way that this ecu works its not super beneficial to have it read such big changes in Air temps. For instance when its been heat soaking after sitting it will be a huge dog for the first little bit of driving because the intake manifold is so warm.

So I have now completed my door panels, I went down to the local BMW Wreckers and stumbled across some super mint door panels from an 1995 530i. As you may know, the interior colors in the later years changed, well some of them did anyway. My car is a 1990, and it has the early beige color interior, this car has the later beige interior. Its a darker color and the tops of the door panels and dash are a darker version of the rest of the interior. So What I did was remove the grey uppers from the new door panels and then I got the lowers died to match my beige. I then glued the black uppers on my new door panels from the original ones that came in my car. I also painted all the wood trim in the car the same color as my wheels (Smoked Copper). As you can see from the picture below, the center piece that is glued in the door panel is leather in the later e34`s, and has a different, more luxury look! So Ya I pretty pumped that I was able to put together new door panels for about $300 and have them look as good a s new.

That trim looks GOOD!
Miller your tune's are so smooth. Outstanding work on your car. How far away is the WAR chip on the E36? IS the software easy to learn so after the engine is tuned and we add upgrades we could adjust it ourselves or is it for experienced personnel only. I can't wait for you to come down to CarbConn and work your magic.

Thanks Rohan
Finally we Got to the paint, here are some pics of the paint process that my E34 MS2 went through just recently...
There will be more Pics to come as we have some time to get all the videos and pics together, we are very busy right now getting ready for Bimmer Fest, so we will see you soon!

Finally, some Pics of the car with the new Exhaust manifold, Exhaust system and intake tube. This car is now officially a MS2 Plus, reason being is that the only thing it doesn't have is a built bottom end, forged internals.

I just love how your work looks so clean and factory like, and your results are incredible.
If I ever get an E34 I know where to send it.

I want to know how that exhaust sounds! Great looking car, so so nice!
