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

I'm not too good with dyno charts yet but aren't the HP and Torque lines supposed to intersect at a consistent spot at a lower rpm?

[B C]

Interesting.....  call them up and ask why they dont intersect at 5252 RPM.

EDIT: It looks like the Y-axis on the left and right sides is unequal. If you equated them, it would probably intersect at 5252

[DrLeadFoot]

I guess the computer auto-scales the graph to make it more "readable".

Just watched the videos
Goodness, that thing squats down pretty hard on the rollers there  O__O

Everyone knows it and has said it, but you have put together a pretty serious machine!

also

your coat reminded me of this.

Thanks for the footage!!

It's cold out there, son! 

Thanks, Snap!  Maybe next winter I'll upgrade the fuel system and go megasquirt.  I'll be calling you hourly when I cross that bridge.

I'll wrap this day up with a couple of words:

From my last dyno run to today I basically got my sparkplugs right, added a full 3in exhaust, fixed a couple vacuum leaks and added CCV.  I thought the vacuum leaks would hinder HP more than it did or maybe the exhaust is way more restrictive now than it was coming straight out of the hood.  In the end I'm in a good spot with only more to gain.  Now who wants to pull out my wastegate for me??

It just loaded for me... But in post 443. That second pic of the front of the car. Is too freakin' cool.

I had the good camera out today!  Thanks!

List of things I need.

-Fuel pressure regulator adapter for a M50.

-PLX Devices power plug for the wideband.

-Bigger I.D. vacuum line for my wastegate and the fittings to go with it.

The vacuum line should raise the boost up but I don't want to do that until I get my wideband working (again). Then I can dial it in with the FPR.

I'm also going to have Kummrow fix my oil leak. Messed my arm up and wrenching probably shouldn't be happening.

Ordered the PLX power cord.  Waiting for I.E. to call me back with a price for the M5X/S5X fuel rail plug and will be ordering that today.

Nice, I like Alpine stuff, my truck has an Alpine CD player from 1995 that still works great.

Fuel pressure regulator adapter kit for the S52 has been ordered.

Your valve cover is powder coated right?  Is the underside coated as well?  I am getting mine done, and plan on leaving the studs and little screws in and just getting new ones afterwards so that they will keep the coating out of the threads.  Just curious how you did it.

I ordered it from Renewed Finishes in Cali. Not sure what he did with bolts. The underside is bare metal.

Ok thanks.  I will try to tape off the bottom then.

[DrLeadFoot]

Hopefully will be getting the car back today.  It should be leak free!!
