Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

They are ESM 004. They were on the car when I bought it. My style 5s will be on soon. Polished lip, gold centers but what to do with the bolts?? Polish them or paint them gun metal? So many ideas, not enough time.
I have a PLX gauge but I need to get a new "brain". I fried mine.
It is a ton of fun! I don't know how to upload a video to the forum. I'll get one one on Instagram. Follow @drleadfoot.
I'm getting boost creap at 5000 rpms with a 5lbs spring. I think the manifold is flowing too well to maintain low boost. Up I go! 12-15lbs spring today.
I have 350 cop free miles on the car so far. At 500 I will change the oil and "try" to baby it to 1000. Probably will run 5w-30 Mobil, AMS or Royal Purple synthetic.

Oil argument starting now. Royal Purple HPS!! not the API stuff.

very very nice! That must be really exciting! The afrs look nice and stable/consistent too. What psi is this at?
Thanks!! You have no idea on how nervous I was!
The afrs were so rich most of the time they flat lined at the bottom. There is some tuning to do but TRM probably runs their tunes super rich due to lawsuits. I'll see what they have to say Monday. Or I might just put more boost on it!
I had a 15lbs spring in the waste gate. I'm going to run that until I sort out my high rpm issues.

It was a great day! I was almost turning green in the face when it was the moment of truth.

I gapped my plugs from .030 to .025. Hopefully this will help the cause. They all looked the same except for cylinder #1 which was a little oily. #ohgod
I'm guessing that it is due to a lack of CCV and pressure is building up at the front of the motor because the stock CCV is as big as a pencil.
I'm dropping off the car on Monday to get the exhaust work done.

Update:
The car is currently at the exhaust guys shop. Let the welding commence! I'm going 3" stainless all the way back to a straight through 3" in/out borla muffler. I'm getting a flex pipe welded into the downpipe along with 2 O2 sensor bungs and my one way valve for the CCV vacuum. V-band will connect the downpipe to the rest of the exhaust.
Once I get the car back I'm going to port and tap the valve cover for the CCV. Then we should be good!
As for the tune I'm in contact with TRM. I'm going to pressure test the system to be 100% sure I don't have any leaks then see what they can do to adjust the AFR.

What wideband sensor/controller are you getting?
If you get an Innovate LC-1/MTX-L you can run a simulated narrowband signal to the stock ecu which is more accurate than the narrowband. When I still had a Motronic ECU, I did this and it ran the best it ever did until it saw an extra 0.1V from the o2 sensor that it wasnt expecting and threw a CEL. That was before I figured out how to adjust the output values though. They can be adjusted to make sure they dont go out of limits for what the ECU is expecting to see.

I have the PLX Devices unit. It looks pretty smart. Do you know if this is capable of the same thing?

I like the mudflaps, what brand are they?
Kamotors made them. He is on r3vlimited.com

I am not even going to go there on this one!
