First run...
Running it off the same map as the L28, with some overall fuel trim. Needs a lot of work of course.
Got a handful of loose ends to address and it will be ready for it's maiden voyage.

So... I have to watch an advertisement to earn the privilege of watching an advertisement? Nice. And what's with Han? Did he Rick Roll the producers? Yes, the Grumpasaur is alive and kicking.

And since you listed "more expensive car" in your poll, you need this 600hp streetable E36... http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1570818

ZO6 if autocrossing is important. Great 'tool', but not the most refined.
NSX... positively drooling AND the wife will probably enjoy the right seat as much as you enjoy the left (is that sexist?).
Clown shoe... fun AND practical. Drive it every day anywhere and still embarrass most other cars.
P car... Yes

You just described the intent of this forum.
This is very much the 'drive' of our aggressive rules enforcement. Descriptive titles, accurate spelling, and as fact-based as practical. This place *is* a Wiki just as soon as the whole group applies reasonable diligence.

Thanks guys. Quickie update-
M50 manifold conversion complete.
Battery, starter, and alternator are wired.
ECU mounted.
Water temp sensor, water temp sender, air temp, crank sensor, VANOS, TPS, oil pressure sender, air regulator, and canister purge are wired.
All downhill from here. Guessing about 30 or so hours left...

Understood. Let me know what you decide.
I'm going to hang on to it for a while longer. Thanks for your patience.

Any suggestions for brands or companies that do a whole package, I'm thinking 1.5" down from standard height on 15's.. don't want to compromise the ride quality too much either

Hey Ron, is this flange available? I was planning on cutting and modifying a stock flange for a new intake manifold, but this is a better option. I sent you a pm on this.
I did receive your PM. I have one left, but I haven't decided if I want to sell it or for how much. Give me a little time.

I installed the smaller Innovate G5 in the clock location. Not as attractive as the others but suits me fine...

how many guys have or at least want..some of the larger machine tools in their shop?
Owner of a 2800 lb vertical mill, 1100 lb lathe, and a Millermatic reporting in. One of these years I add a TIG to the list.

I'm supprised Tim isn't insulted.
Tim knows us quite a lot better than that.

...just an observation, the injector holes for cylinders 3 & 4 (on this drawing) should be on the opposite side of the runner centerline. That's how their shown and dimensioned on the previous injector spacing drawing. Again, just an observation.
Your observation is correct! Good catch. The injector layout in post #2 is accurate. All these drawings are old and unorganized... the remains of dual hard drive failure. I'll put it on my todo to re-create and scrub them.
Thanks again.

RTZ you don't get the cookie, your documentation of that horspower is posted in the wrong thread!
-
What are the details on this build?
I have no idea. Google loaned me that sheet. It was simply to make the point that a dyno sheet doesn't constitute documentation. It's the Internet and people do funny things. Without supporting information, claims ought to be taken with the proverbial grain.

422 Horsepower. Do I get a cookie now?

Documentation of my 3.2 Z...

Whats the part number on the master cylinder you ended up using?
Tilton 74 Series, part no. 74-812U
Pegasus uses part no. 3505-.81

I replaced the clutch MC with a 13/16" model. I was planning on waiting until after start up, but it was haunting me. Pedal effort is firm, but reasonable. More like a C4 than an M3
I think a 3/4" MC would work (15% less effort) but I think it would be approaching the minimum travel limit. The Datsun pedal has roughly 20% less travel than the BMW, and that's not helping matters.Another item to check off is the water temp sender. There really isn't a good place for it. I came up with an easy, but less than ideal solution. I used a stock Z sender (BMW sender is a very different range), the BMW hose barb (screws into the head) and a 16mm nut (the nut from the diff strap is the right size and pitch). Machined a sleeve with a tapered seat and welded it together...
It's in contact with the water, but not exposed to water FLOW. I'm expecting this to slow the gauge down some. Since the water temp sensor is in close proximity and Wolf will report the numbers real-time, I'll get a good feel of how much I can trust it. If it proves to be unreasonable, there is a plan B... the port in the head was originally used to supply water to the throttle body, and returned water to the water manifold just below it. It wouldn't be difficult to create a similar path with the temp sender in between, exposing the sender to water flow. I'm trying to avoid doing this because all of this water then bypasses the radiator. Or, I may just cowboy up, use the BMW sender, and do some electronic work.
Ordered a new OE oil pressure sender from Jordan at Lithia Nissan. BMW used an oil pressure switch with 12mm x 1.5 threads and a copper gasket. I machined a bolt with matching threads, and tapped 1/8" NPT threads into the head...
Installed the G5...
And when I wasn't looking, BRAAP was kind enough to install an airbag for me (he probably thinks I need it)...
On a tangent, I made another set of engine mounts for a fellow enthusiast. He'll be doing some fitment testing on his car to see what else we run into...

This was designed for 1.5" ID runners, and it put the runner floor even with the port floor (raised the port centerline).

Hey ron, you happen to have a full dimension breakdown of that manifold flange? I assume it's got the larger diameter ports which are slightly raised, yea? If not that's ok, I'll figure it out on my own eventually, just would save me some time (not that what I'm working on will go to production, but it's fun non-the-less).
I'll see what I can dig up for you this weekend.

BRAAP is celebrating his 6th birthday today. Have a good one, Bro!
