dual 38mm Tial MVS. I'll post pics of the full kit installed tonight if I can grab them off the camera. I think I snapped a few.

Please do... Your engine bay is a little cleaner than mine :P Your downpipe is better as we had to redo it for your turbo and made it fit a little nicer

I've never felt a bmw shifter this direct. I love it. Solid mounted shifters FTW, you just need to run solid or almost-solid engine and trans mounts though, so you don't have the linkage flexing too much with side-loading during cornering or stuff, or it can bend/bind the linkage. (The shifter is designed/should be used with solid mounts only).

It's like 1000x better than my UUC Evo3 was with the stock carrier thing.

-Mike

would you be interested in selling that old UUC shifter assembly??

Were the dual 38mm enough or would 44mm be better? Cant wait to see the pics brother!!

Now thats love lol. Keep up the good work man, u slapped on that head pretty quick, nice work.

[MikeE36]

well the head I got off that M52 has worn out intake valve guides (wtf? not exhaust?) so getting all new guides, seals, etc.

Also ordered supertech dual valve springs and Ti retainers from work, should be here Monday.

/update

I'm sure dual 38s is plenty, but I'll test it at 9psi on the wastegate as soon as it's back together and let you know how it holds boost. Going to oklahoma this weekend and have to wait for a few parts so hopefully going back together the following weekend.

How exactly do you hook up the vacuum lines for two wastegates?


Also with your old manifold, do you think adding in a pipe on the opposite side of the current wastegate, and tying it into that wastegate would work instead of using two wastegates?

Line off the compressor to controller (I'm using a hallman mbc), then the outlet line T's and goes to the side port of each WG.

[ForgedM50]

oh i thought you had the M52 head on already. have you thought about going +1mm on the valve sizes?? not that you need anymore power

did you have Ti retainers b4? what was ur old rev limit?? dude this car is tits

well picked up a $325 craigslist M52, pulled the head off and it looks good so it's off to the machine shop today to get decked/checked out, and prepped for an MLS

156k M52:




Hopefully can have it back together soonish. Been busy with other stuff (turbo'ing my brothers 325i with a GT30R setup)

-Mike

was that the M52B28?? And if so, would you want to sell the crank??

Diagram....... PLZ and THANK U

[RallyChamp]

Awesome build!

[MikeE36]

Small update, waiting on guides and seals still

Going TRM OBD2 tuning and 80# injectors

-Mike

[bennyfizzle]

wtf?

[rpm620]

wtf?

[MikeE36]

wtf?

oh did you miss the 26psi spool log?


TRM has a badass datalogger for OBD2 that can log lots of ECU parameters, so remote tuning is dramatically improved. Ignition advance logging, knock logging, etc. OBD1 can't really do any of that.

Also bought my dad a new fuel system and TRM OBD2 60# tune with logger setup, so his TTS2 M3 is about to be a TRM S2, and probably another 100 hp.

We're going to fly Mike to Texas later this year for dyno tuning on all our TRM cars (we will have 4 TRM turbo cars after this weekend.. my brother's should be done.) I want an 80# Q16 30psi tune to screw around with. Drifting/tracking will stay at 10-15psi for reliability.

wait, lolwut? Jesus is my homeboy

forgot to post this in here, only posted it in FI:

spool log from before I pulled the head off to change the hg



20 psi by 3700 rpm, 26 psi by 4100 rpm. It feels like a rocket.

[bennyfizzle]

oh very cool. also, eff you and your cool toys. I just put harry's laptimer pro on my iphone to record video and I thought I was cool. You can go frig yourself, bud.

[kyillest]

wow. its very cool if you have this kind of info if you know what to do with it.

so you only went a little after 4k on this shot? did you make any other runs at higher rpms? looks llike she had more in her.

looks too be running fat and rich which makes sense because the exhaust temps are pretty high.... probably higher then i would be comfortable with


but good for you mike! hope you have a bigger grin then shammo when your driving this thing

11.15 AFR is right where I'd like it for this much boost. EGT isn't hooked up, so 2300+F is not accurate. I'd say it's more like 1300-1500 F, but won't know for sure until it's hooked up.

Still waiting on the head from the machine shop... and now the OBD2 +80# + logging goodies from TRM. Praying it'll be running in some form or another soon, if the machine shop has me the head back soonish. (hopefully next week.)
