5mall5nail5's Turbo E34 Builds Part II!

[jfdmas]

yep, after frying my vb921's i switched to the bip's and have yet to have any issues.

[5mall5nail5]

sigh lol

[GT35Rm3]

Sorry

BIP373s shut down when they get too hot. Works well for someone like me and knows he's going to fuck up frequently. IIRC they require less juice to run too.

Transistors don't really require less, they have a max current handling I think like 5 - 6 amps is max most people will ever see.

So I flipped the power on and hooked things up - no fires or smoke, so that's good. I guess I can still wire pretty well.

Anyway, loaded up the config that Ben (babbo) is helping me with for 1000cc sequential fuel and spark, and it cranks, sputters, hiccups, coughs, back fire, no go. So it will take some time to figure out whats up. I am probably going to have to swap an M50TU crank wheel on, which I do have.

So anyway it was super nice out today so I took the time to tidy up some things and finish installing the fire system:

I may need some lotion.

Am I not seeing a cooling fan?

thanks guys - yeah i've never had a fan behind the rad. Its a 16" spal pusher in front of the IC. However, I did just buy a 9" fan, spal 9" puller, that fits on the bottom passenger side of the rad. I just have to put it in. But I won't do that until I figure out if i need to swap crank pulleys.

Fix that wrinkle. It looks like poop and ruins the engine bay.



j/k

[Colby Colbs]

he just fixed it

[bubela]

Lookin good man, Lookin goood.
Can those red nozzles handle one million boosts fires?
It's almost time, right?

[5mall5nail5]

lol bob

yeah i need to just either figure out the maths or why the car doesnt like to run in sequential modez.

Look great!!! Now send me some pics

Did you get my link to the zip file?

What are you going to do with the back seat area?

[5mall5nail5]

Maybe eventually make a sheet metal cover or something

[SiGmA]

Humm. Id put the back seat in, some how. Sedans without back seats look blah. Unless you put ~5% tint on, that would solve much of the issue.

Your engine bay looks freaking amazing Jon!! I hope to have mine that clean some day. I really like the polished fuel rail vs purple, you still have a nice spattering of purple to accent the Wiggens clamps, but not too much. Looks killer.

Oh, and Tom, excellent work on the manifold!!! Have you solved the fit issue with stock valve covers yet? I personally like what Jon did with it, but it would be annoying for some I am sure.

Also, what's wrong with the sequential stuffs? I don't understand why it won't run?

How was it routing the lines for the fire supression? Did you just run two nozzles to the engine bay, period?

Was easy.

I am running 5 nozzles in the engine bay. One at the turbo area, on at the fuel rail from above, one at the fuel rail from the drivers side, one at the fuel rail across the engine bay from the drivers fender, and one at the fuel pressure regulator.

You are as much of an artist as a mechanic.

Seriously... your engine bay is good enough to be wallpaper

I did I want some pics of your car for my website

Gonna make some trick little brackets for those or what?

Looks titties though dude. Good work!

[highboostingm3]

Jon...I'm very sad it's near the end. You can't get her running. Just put her in one of those car bubbles.
