E39 V8 Big Power SC / Turbo DeadPool Tracker

Don't you think that by simply MENTIONING it in the same sentence with a single turbo swap on a 335i he has strongly implied everything he needs to? The two projects could barely be further apart in terms of difficulty.

yer right, I'm probably being too demanding! allways a ballbustah that GG.

[tptrsn]

Haha.. I about spit out my coffee when I saw those two projects mentioned together like that.

Maybe he didn't really mean anything by it other than, "I found out that I like a nice turbo setup so much, I decided to bite the bullet and undertake the massivity (made up a word for this) of the turbo e39 540 with A/C project."

I'm guessing an AZ boy ain't gonna want to be trashcan'ing the A/C, afterall. I'm so excited to see what ensues!

[philly98540]

Lol at you guys!

[tptrsn]

HOLY COW! Look what else the cat dragged back in (besides DK and me).

You got any car guy adventures planned for 2019 Chris, or are you still waiting for someone to dethrone you and thereby light a fire under your azz?

And by the way, Merry Christmas to everyone!! If you aren't into Christmas, then Happy Hanukkah! If you aren't into that either, then I don't know what to tell you other than f-off. Hahahahaha... I still crack me up.

[philly98540]

Miss you too Thad! I am due for some suspension refreshing I guess. No play, but some boots are rotting away and I still need to change out a rear swing arm where the anti sway bar bracket busted off. My engine has been running great! We need some LRS updates!

Well, I'm obviously going to be hitting around 700whp cause that what my 335i can do and V8 is superior. I'm trashing the AC cause racecar. And I am going to be running a 6466 cause that what all the lsx guys do so its sick.

Actually, I'm hoping that I can just get it to run stably within the next year and we will go from there. Probably going to use my old 5858 cause I have it and it works well. My buddy is going to be helping me with the manifold design since we go to asu and have access to all that fancy plotting and flow software. This is also gonna be the capstone project for my minor so really I can't lose as long as I learn stuff of the way to blowing out and losing cylinder 8.

Ok, but you can't seriously run a 300hp N/A engine through a single 5858. Maybe you mean you're going to run that, plus another one like it. That would be a sweet setup, albeit still kind of turbine limited.

Are you actually planning to try to keep the A/C then? And do you have a plan for tuning yet? Or waiting to see what DME you end up with first?

[dk500]

Lol!

Im waiting to see what I end up first, and then I will plan how it will all go once I can model flow and all of that with whatever I end up w with the tools available to me at ASU. For tuning though I am more than likely going to go standalone. I have a bunch of guys in Formula SAE that are gonna be helping me with the tuning side of the project and stand alone DMEs are what we are all experts in.

Looks like you got autocorrected a bit there or something, so I'm not positive I completely understand your meaning, but that all sounds good. Hopefully your braintrust can come up with something cool. I think this is the first nerd group entry into the deadpool.

[douglawrence42]

Never underestimate a group of engineering nerds. If it ain’t broke, it doesn’t have enough features!

Well said sir!

Summers Comin... So is the Project! This Year...

What project?

[MisterM52]

Sorry, Wrong Thread! Was Looking for the Deedpool

I've never seen a Deedpool, I see you now in the deadpool, still dead, still no progress pics

[MisterM52]

Just wanted to give you guys a quick update, we are still on it but had no progress in a while, we intend to get it done by this year though. At least the prototype.

This will be the same blower you see here on our current setups

[dk500]

Little deadpool update - nerd group has put the project on hold cause I'm getting sued over the dumbest thing ever. Will update progress when my lawyer finishes the job and I can reclaim costs from the other party cause almost all of my money for this project has disappeared cause of this.

edit: you can be sued if someone slips on ice in your property, even if you don't know who they are and never told them they could try to break into your garage.

That is definitely one of the top 5 all time best posts in this thread!

And here's hoping that the bastard has enough funds (or a job to wage garnish) for you to be able to recoup some penalties for a bringing a frivolous action. Have you counterclaimed for trespass or anything?

Yea, I have but I doubt they have remotely enough for me to reclaim costs. They have a lawyer doing their stuff pro bono so I doubt I will get anything more than maybe a few hundred right away. When I win my counterclaim I doubt I will get all the money until at least a few years after.

[tptrsn]

Typical... That's tough luck dude. Good luck!

That makes me angry for you!!! I friggin' hate that s**t.

Yeah. But the reality is actually "you can be sued for anything at anytime".

Doesn't mean they are going to prevail, and in those "burglar sues cuz he hurt himself whilst burglaring" cases seldom do (despite the scare stories you read), but the sky is the limit on what some asshat can try to bring. Its a different story if you set traps or some crap like that, then you're eff'd. Booby traps are for sure a lawsuit goldmine for a burglar. But from what I understand he can only win if you were well aware that he was trespassing repeatedly and regularly, AND you were aware of the hazards, AND if the hazard was reasonable to believe the trespasser would run into. Like if the ice was on a path on your property and you knew people constantly take that path and ignored it... And even then, the counter-argument would be it was the trespassers duty to expect natural conditions in winter on an outdoor trail and they couldn't possibly not have been aware the hazard was there. It is stupid though, and unless there's some other bit you haven't mentioned he almost certainly won't prevail.

But as you seem to have run up against... doesn't mean that some douche won't try it. Is his real angle actually to intimidate you into not pursuing the breakin-in charges via the fraudulent tort?

#notalawyerjustinterestedinlaw

[douglawrence42]

That’s the game though. My ridiculous lawsuit can be easily disproven to a degree that would shame Lionel Hutz, but it’s going to cost you $5k to do it. Or, for the low low price of $2k, you can get my attorney a little closer to hell and me enough money to meth out for 2 weeks, and we go away. I don’t have a solution, but this is definitely one of my top “the world is going down the toilet” old man rant inducing rage topics.

Bingo.

And BINGO! Some slimy sorts squirm through life on settlement value from frivolous lawsuits because they are unrecoverable on counterclaims, and insurance companies just pay out to get things concluded at the lowest possible cost. And the cries of "I gots me a lawsuit!" are heard across the land. Lol

^All that makes me sick. I hate that subset of our human race. Gimme gimme gimme... cut their balls off already.
