yeah

edmonton FTW

well heres a little update.
good stuff first.
vibrant exhuast 3"in and dual 2.75" out, stainless steel turbo coolant and oil feed lines with stainless fittings $$$$$, Ross machine racing billet fuel rail and fittings.

Heres a pic of the exhuast, See through

,
shouldnt be much restriction here.

Heres some more stuff,
high flow fuel filter, 3" exhuast flex coupler, adjustable short shifter, and the sweet adjustable dual fan controller and wiring from diftech.com.

Now heres the shitty part,
i was installing the OEM fuel rail with the stock fuel injectors that i was going to use for the break in process and while installing the injectors the plastic tip was so brittle that it broke off into the intake manifold.
Unfortunately it fell into the port where the valves were open so into the cylinders they went.
they set up shop right on top of my pistons . I tried everything to get the pieces out but since plastic is not magnetic it was very hard. needless to say, i had to remove the entire cylinder head to retrieve the pieces.
heres a pic of the crappy OEM injectors.
notice the two broken ones on the right compared to the normal one on the left.

anyways, i got it all back together in a couple of hours but im not sure what to do know. i might get a tune for the new injectors with no boost for the breakin.

driveshaft wasnt done for this weekend so i guess i will have to wait to start it up untill next weekend.

thanks,
///MAT

ouch, that sucks...dont worry, i am going fishing for a spark plug tip right away

i have my stock injectors if you need em...think they should be the same

**TechniqueTuning** · 07-25-2007, 09:39 PM

Nice looking manifold. Looks like the setup has a lot of potential.

**B_w.** · 07-26-2007, 12:55 AM

hope you get that beast up and running soon bud. hopefully that autronic is all its said to be.

nick, how do you feel the autronic sm4 stacks up against the stock ecu for an application like this?

**bill@bimmerclinic.com** · 07-26-2007, 01:08 AM

Nice work! Any updates?

**Kasei** · 07-26-2007, 01:27 AM

Wonderful job, I bet it will be sweet to get behind the wheel and let her loose after doing so much to it.

**scooter** · 07-26-2007, 01:58 AM

beautiful dog, i love boxers.
the car's O.K too...

**B_w.** · 07-26-2007, 04:28 AM

Thanks byron, i hope to have the car back in a few weeks. the shop is backed up so they wont look at it for a week or so but when its done we are taking a road trip and gettin a video of the dyno runs and then some video of the trip home

gonna be great,

sorry to everyone for the slow progress lately, ive been swamped with work out of town and am only home i day a week which leaves little time to play with my toy. but it will be done soon

**denyo77** · 08-02-2007, 09:44 AM

then good luck!

**MTurboPower3** · 08-02-2007, 02:30 PM

Wow I didn't know what kind of power you could make when putting 2k in your car but 550 is more that enough.

Rooz · 08-02-2007, 04:24 PM

This is going to be massively sweet

. Good to see someone taking the time and effort to do this... love the pics, look forward to seeing some vids of this beast unleashed

**dinan540** · 08-02-2007, 08:05 PM

I love this project.

**justshawn** · 03-01-2008, 03:48 AM

youre making me hate the fact i have the ix from what i hear turbo is no god on drive shafts for ix any opinion

**denyo77** · 03-01-2008, 09:53 AM

ixes are awesome! And they got LSDs as stock parts

I'd love to have one

**capitlj** · 03-01-2008, 06:06 PM

Pretty schweet boost build. What did you use to weld up the manifold, had to have been a TIG?

**MTurboPower3** · 03-01-2008, 07:50 PM

Wow that looks like it will be a sick car when its finished, 530-550 hp out of an e-30 is rediculous. You should be able to hit 170 easily on it.
