S52 turbo build E85/RK-Tune AR design mani BorgWarner turbo

[twirknolove]

LOL

I was talking about oiling for the turbo, but I see now.. carry on.

[Butters Stoch]

Return = Fuel
Drain = Turbo

Pressure = Fuel
Feed = Turbo

Let's go by these from now on.

Lol

This car should be fast.

We shall see once its finished. I am definitely waiting for your help with fuel pumps and running the lines.

You must have missed Jordan's e34 build that made ~800whp with stock fuel lines on e85..

He's running a fuel set up that I sent to him
Also made BIG power on a BASE tune. 0 revisions.
also ran the car at shift sector.
ETC.

Nice when cars are stored !

STOCK dme still FTW

Nice I thought you tuned that car in person at Castro for some reason but either way definitely an awesome setup all around and I am still amazed what those stock fuel lines can handle. Has that dual dme/ flex fuel idea panned out? I think that would get a lot of people back on board with stock dme tuning as its one of the main reasons myself and many others are considering standalone, with the shortage of e85 stations throughout the country.

every E85 tune purchased comes with 2 tunes.
obd1 can come with a Switch + wiring that plugs in to be able to swap from a GAS tune to E85.

OBD2 includes flashing of TWO dme's OR flashing one dme with both files.

I have not had time to set up one DME with 2 tunes and a switch yet.
It can be done. i just haven't had the time

I think doing this would help make up peoples minds that are on the fence about whether to go stock dme or standalone and I hope you get a chance to figure it out.

Dammit back level 1. I dunno what to do again, we already discussed McDonald's, Burger King even mentioned jack in the box and Wendy's.

Here is what I would do if I was in your sneakers.
Call these people ...

Talk to ALL of them, don't pull the trigger till you have had the time to speak to each one of these guys. Then once YOU do, you can make YOUR own decision on where YOU feel most comfortable spending YOUR money. Explain what you want , what you have , and what your looking to do. Picking a tuner takes time. I wouldn't just have your internet buddies spend your money. Remember this is going to be a long term relationship. When you tweak, upgrade, make changes, so will the tuner. DONT LET OTHERS MAKE YOUR MIND UP. do it yourself.

Or go standalone.

This is pretty simple (but time consuming) to do with OBD1. I was planning on using a blank chip to run wires from each pin to a switch bus, and then switch from one chip to another. Jordan explained that it's even easier than that. You just need to connect the pins together on the two chips (minus ground), and then ground the chip that you want to use via a switch. He mentioned stacking them in the ECU (I assume soldering them together). But I am planning on wiring two chip sockets to a remote location so that the two tunes can be switched between, and each chip can easily be removed/replaced if necessary.

I think that OBD2 can just use two different bins as Jordan stated and that would be very simple if it works.

+1 on this. I wish I would've done more research on tuning options. Literally the only thing I'm worried about regarding my build.

Who's Tune did you end up going with? Or is it still in progress?

[Fender13Bender]

Miller performance comes with a 4 position tune switch.

I went with rktunes. I don't regret it but obd2 flash tuning can get expensive if the tuner isn't there to alter afrs. Dyno sessions ain't cheap.

[pbonsalb]

For OBD1.

[Fender13Bender]

Correct

Just make sure when you talk to people about standalone, that they dont have a biased opinion. Im not really sure of who here has alot of experience on both sides of the fence, but you may wanna take the time to find out. Because alot of people are partial to one side. Im on the standalone side, but i know there are tons of people on the stock DME side. You gotta find someone that does not have motive towards either direction and really talk to them about this.

I had a tec3r in the e36 m3....hated it, and just never seemed to been done with the tuning. I went back to stock dme and never have to think about it....plus, I can still use my code reader. My e30 has MS2 and once again, I am driving around with a laptop constantly tuning it....looking into stock dme options

[wazzu70]

For your situation stock DME might be a good choice for emission testing. Just something to consider since a badass car with no tabs is no fun

emmisions are also taken care of lol. I registered my car in Lynden (somewhere close to Bellingham) so no emissions ever for me

[bmw328m52]

Hah! There are an infinite number of ways to get by emissions. It shouldn't even be considered a constraint in this day and age.

Appreciate your experience. I called a few tuners already. Technica don't have free revisions that might end up costly. Miller never answers their phone neither replies to emails, that shows poor customer skills in case I do go with their tune I wouldn't be able to reach them. Vic Sias said I can fy him in from California for a in person tune for a tec3, I have people to rent a dyno for $70/hour and ticket from SF area is not that much and also I have spoke with Jordan a few times which sounds convincing to stay stock DME, but few members mentioned Jordan's remote tune is rich sometimes on cold starts?

[cdmbmw]

Sound's like some solid research, I have heard so much good about Technica. Didn't realize they didn't provide any free revisions. I would think throwing a free revision or two in would be very good for business..
