MK60 ABS and PTG Widebody

[325isBimmer]

Just for an update if anybody is interested. I ended up going with Forgeline GA3R wheels 10.5" front and 11.5" rear. I am going to use 285/645/18 front and 315/680/18 rear. I just used a straight edge from the fender to the floor and measured from the wheels i had to the edge of the straight edge and gave them the specs of my current wheels and they made them off of those measurements. I will update on fitment once I get my car back from paint and fit the wheels. I am also using the fire orange from the e92 M3 lime rock edition. I also ordered all the wiring for the MK60 swap from prowireusa and I will update on the wiring of the MK60. I will also try to integrate the wheel speed into my Aim dash that I got for MPH and traction control.

Thanks Mike!

Question for the larger group and Mike, with my MK60 install using the z3 3.0 brake master setup, e46 330i front rotors/calipers and e36m3 rear rotors/calipers, my brake pedal feel is softish and has too much travel for my liking. Kills my heel/toe as well with the extra brake pedal travel.

Guessing my only real (simplish) recourse is to swap in a s54 mcoupe master once/if I find one? Wish I would have just modified the e46 pedal system/booster/master.

This shows the master rod length difference from the e46 m3 versus the e36.

I will update you with how my pedal feel is when it is complete. I do have the Wilwood Race BBK front and rear though but pedal was firm with stock e36 m3 master and booster. I have these kits installed:
Front BBK: https://shop.middletonmotorsports.ne...5a6f1e29&_ss=c
Rear BBK: https://shop.middletonmotorsports.ne...5a6f1e29&_ss=c

If anybody is looking for these kits I can get deals on them or any other brand we offer

Thanks,

Update: The Wide Body is done and MK60 is working great. I am checking to see if anybody has any info on the wake up signal for the can bus on the MK60, I have a Link ECU and I have all the receive signals configured for all 4 wheel speed sensors but it will not send anything until the MK60 is sent a signal on the CAN bus. Does anybody have any info on this?

Thanks,
-Mike

Car looks great! Are you looking for where the signal gets set from or how it is triggered?
Would a Bentley wiring diagram help?

Got a lot of the stuff worked out with the car and finally started getting some laps in at Road America. Got a 2:21 lap in this video here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOfyHkDp2t0
I think I can get into the teens next year after some more tweaks and driver mod. It rips with the wide body and the slicks, MK60 was a huge upgrade also.

ONE SIXTY SIX. That's some mv^2 going on there.

Thats just absurd.

Definitely starting to push the car a bit, I am working on trusting the brakes a bit. I have had it up to 176.6MPH on the front straight before when I had it up to about 700whp, working on getting back to that.

Thanks, I am slowly working on trusting the car more and pushing to the limits.

Remind us, what rotors/calipers do you have?

[325isBimmer]

Front Brakes are: https://wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeK...emno=140-16010
Rear Brakes are: https://www.wilwood.com/brakekits/Br...=m3&option=All

No complaints on these brake kits so far, I was having a issue more with the ABS side but the MK60 definitely fixed that!

I knew I would find your build thread somewhere, keep up the great work!
