At least something is going on. Hope you smoked him
We weren't side by side, to be fair the Honda was quick to 60. It can Rev to 8.5k RPM but once it hit 60 it started to struggle. Both runs were done in bad rain and on slippery roads. I should have switched my traction off really, but it was just a bit of fun.
I'll have a go at the throttle tomorrow.
Here you go

Sorry couldn't resist a bit of Astley
Here is the proper clip, it was edited by the Honda driver....you can see he added a little bit extra to make him look faster
After a bit of moaning I got him to sync the cars to hit 20mph at the same time ........

YOu have some good taste in music
You had some traction problems. The honda looks like it is faster. I hope its not
yeah, have you been Rick rolled before?
Honda faster? nah it's just a souped-up sewing machine without traction He was a second or so slower and my traction killed the power at around 40MPH. To be fair to the Honda it is fast to 60 but lacks torque, you have to scream it to 8.5k in every gear, miss a gear and its all over. The traction on it for a front wheel drive car is amazing. We will do another Dry run soon, with the traction switched off
I tried a quick run in my E38 today, It's really quick off the line. I'll try and edit the footage later.
It was my first rickroll
I see you want some war here
then lets maybe not start one. It would become one crazy offtopic. It could also maybe make you work less on your CSI and that is something no one here wants and for that I might get a BAN
Rick-rolling is sooooo 90's!!

I wonder when the very first Rick roll was done ?
Ah here it is, 2007. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling

Right, back on track. Dyno booked for 2pm tomorrow.
Ohh yeahh!!
Thanks well I want to check to see what difference the ignition revamp and other changes have made. The exhaust will be the next on my list if results are lower than expected.
Going in the right direction, 382bhp this time .
Next on the list is the Exhaust.

Those Innovate guages are great but when they are displaying the afr average of six cylinders are they of much real world use?

Good thing I check this thread everyday, because your updates dont know when the posts merge.
Your cars color is stunning.
.
Unless the Dyno is faulty then some odd things have happened. Max power and torque have shift up the RPM range. My theory on this is that cleaning the throttle bodies allowed them to open up fully, allowing higher RPM and ultimately more HP. It would have also decreased airflow velocity from lower rpm's hence the drop in torque in the mid range. This is because the operator starts from idle with the pedal to the floor.
So if this is the case and the throttles have allowed for an extra 20HP, then having slightly larger throttle opening could give some more. I'll have to check the diameter of the throttle plates and make some calculations
Thanks for the update on this absolutely absorbing thread! It is interesting to watch the dyno runs, most of them on YouTube end with the engine exploding or the car escaping the rollers.

Thanks. Yes the CSi makes it look effortless on the rollers
Having the 6.0 conversion, i often wonder what Hartge did with my EML's and what my options would be if I went down this road.
E30 1992 335 Cabriolet - Transplant nearly finished
E31 1992 850ci - Hartge H8 6.0 conversion
E34 1995 540A - Stock, low mileage, hi spec and soon to FI'd
E36 1994 M3 - GM LS3 Transplant
E38 2001 735 - Daily driver
E46 2002 330 Cab - Stock
M62B46 with TTV flywheel, dual plate clutch and 6 speed box sitting in a corner waiting for me to decide where to put it.
Thanks a very interesting thread. Subscribed.
