DeadPool DEFEATED! -- 540i6 Front Mount Turbo Build

Bro, does your MS3+ allow use other benefits of origin dme? Such asc, abs, traction control, conditioner, etc.? If i decide to buy ms3+ and change my electronic throtel to mechanical can i use your flash file?

[tptrsn]

I know right ... Can you at least make a video for us you teaser you. Come on man vroom vroom pshhh pshhh

So far I just can't see the sense in dragging someone out somewhere to make a video. When the car can do something that impresses me, I will make a video. Either a rolling burnout or at least some really good acceleration. I will say this, the time is drawing closer! The way the power comes in is actually feeling pretty good to me today.

Well, I don't consider ASC (traction control), or ABS to be a benefit, so I have removed them. But having said that, you can definitely use ABS, air conditioning, and cruise control with MS3, at least on a '97 model 540. I think ASC would cause a lot of problems.

And you could definitely have my tune, but if you have too many things different than my setup it wouldn't work correctly. I'm not even sure if the crank sensor and cam sensor on the TU engines are the same type of sensor.

IMO, ABS is essential for street cars, and I believe the ABS is a separate system from the DME; DSC/ASC is not.

[tptrsn]

The ABS definitely is a separate system. I had to DISABLE IT SEPARATELY! Clearly you can tell I do not share your opinion about ABS being essential for a street car (if you know how to drive without it).

I'm not taking a shot at you there, it's a real thing. If you have only driven with ABS, then it's pretty important. On the other hand, if you have learned to modulate your braking, and respond instantaneously and correctly to a locked brake, then there are a lot of situations in which you are actually better off without ABS. On the street and elsewhere. But as I say, those skills are becoming relatively rare among the totality of the driving populace.

I learned to drive without ABS, and when I teach my.kids I like to pull the ABS fuse to let them feel how a car brakes without it.

AGREED!! First thing I taught my daughter about driving was to lock up the brakes, and then to be able to modulate them. Second lesson was donuts. Lol, but seriously.

After that she was really able to start learning about traffic because she wasn't freaked about potentially losing control of the car because she pressed a pedal with more than "standing on an egg" pressure.

[StRaNgEdAyS]

Exactly!

Unless you're Data, I doubt you can out-perform any ABS. I know people drove without ABS for >70 years, but todays cars are faster and safer with ABS.

If your ABS system was working, why did you choose to remove it? Simplification? That's a very valid reason; I'm just curious.

[tptrsn]

I don't think you're going to be able to accept my answer because you seem quite sure of the overriding benefits of ABS. It's very simple really, I just don't like ABS, and prefer in most circumstances to have it not functioning if I'm driving a car hard. But I've been involved in various forms of high performance driving since before ABS was a common thing (maybe before it even existed, I'm not sure really). Initially ABS was horrible in quite a few circumstances, and in a few others it was a bit better than a normal driver could do. I've been able to see how it has improved over the years, and it has become less bad.

There certainly are situations in which modern ABS can do a better job than me, but not that many, and not by much. There are other circumstances in which ABS is actually a little dangerous, or at least annoying. Specifically with the 540, the ABS rarely bothered me when the car had stock power, because I just didn't drive it real hard. Not to mention that there were other things that annoyed me a lot more about the car like forgetting to turn off the stupid ASC, or worse yet, having an open diff before I installed the M5 diff, and just spinning the crap out of the inside tire when trying to steer with the throttle. So with all of that nonsense going on, I was way too lazy to bother with disabling the ABS.

Drifting activities are my best excuse to disable ABS, because for drifting you certainly will get very screwed up by it. Now the car has sufficient power and a good enough diff to really drive it -- ABS becomes a big annoyance for me at that point.

Personally, I like a non-ABS brake system with an adjustable proportioning valve best. Most likely, when I have an engine out of either of my bimmers, I will completely remove the ABS system for simplicity as you mentioned, and re-plumb the way I like brakes to be. At that point I may be able to change my passenger side plugs without swinging the downpipe over, which would be a fantastic bonus.

Bottom line, since nobody wants to buy this car for more than the price of a beater, I just decided to build it the way I would actually enjoy it.

And that's exactly how it should be

That’s a very fair answer; ABS doesn’t play nicely with drifting for sure.

This dude is speaking the gospel!!!:



And BTW, I think my LRS falls into the motorcycle zone.

[doktor b]

Nailed it.

and my 328 is barely a 5 on the fun scale.
probably more likely a 4.
need to fix that or bail on it.

[tptrsn]

Dude, if you want to fix it, it is cheap to do. $230 coilovers from eBay, weld the diff, el cheapo turbo setup on RomRaider with a $169 "GT35". You're in the motorcycle zone in no time.

[tptrsn]

BTW, is the P-car project moving forward?

[philly98540]

Good vid! I like the girl one better, but this still hits it good.

i have some bootleg $400 coilovers on it already. and i just did new control arms and tie rods up front. but i think the $400 crapovers are knocking when i really yank on the wheel.
i have a 3.23lsd from the M laying on the welding table waiting for me to care.
and idk what a romraider is. sounds like less fun than watching Raiders of the Lost Ark.

but this is my only car as i continue to save for P-car purchasing. the car i had lined up magically went up in price the day i sold my car. significantly up.

so i'm being miserly in an attempt to pump up my pcar account. if i get any less patient, there's a gnarly 69 Fury VIP with a 440 in it local (that i can drive home) for less than the pcar (that i can't drive home).

but i'm trying to stay the course. i have a history of getting impatient and settling on some other form of radical and not sticking it out and buying the pcar. so i'm trying as hard as i can to hold fast.

also. i started a new job today. no longer a tech. office job with the State of Indiana now. trying to be a grownup just enough to make a better living (afford better toys. to hell with retiring.)

[tptrsn]

Pics of said 440 Fury would be most appreciated.

Congrats on the new job! I've done my time as a bureaucrat, if you need any help with coping mechanisms, hit me up. Lol

and thank you! this is my first foray into white-collar work. hoping it is less boring when they let me actually do some stuff. first days are the worst days. so slow.

Oh god no! If you need a good c-body, i have this, and as many 440's as you want. Drive her home.20170728_155421.jpg
Need more money for BMW projects.

[tptrsn]

Maybe a big cam 440 in an E36.. Lol

[doktor b]

Maybe a big cam 440 in an E36.. Lol

Any 440 would literally crush an e36. Lol

No. I'm going the other way. M62 in a mopar. Hence the m62 to torqueflite automatic adapter.
Convert with cage @3100 lbs

What chassis would that be? A Dart or something? And how is that adapter coming???

[wagons ho]

While i enjoyed my Dart, I'm known for my opinion that it costs as much to build a Dart/ Duster as it does to build a "good" car.
It's God's chosen vehicle, a 1971 Barracuda. With live rear axle for motor ballet and pure fun.The other P car.
Trans adapter is out of the hand built mockup stage and waiting for the machine shop to finish the program. But these are the same people who did my S/C adapters. So we wait.
Congratulations on annihilating the dead pool!🏆
