Are you only running 104 for a max value on the y-axis for fuel load?

[GunMetalGrey]

That wasn't mine, it was what Google found

how can you possibly expect me to read a post thoroughly before replying?

sheesh. 

well thats good to hear then. That VE table is too rich and too lean between columns (averaging out to the desired AFR during interpolation) and could be smoothed considerably.

That bad boy is on its way! Walbro 255 to keep up with the required amounts of fuel! 

I uncovered the engine bay today after working on a friends e46 for awhile, damn does a clean bay look so much nicer than stock ones!

Good choice!  That is what I'm running and currently I'm richer than Richy Rich.

[GunMetalGrey]

Silly john! Your fuel pump should not affect your AFR's

Ha!! I know that! It has the ability to run rich. I'm just trying to make myself feel better by that statement due to not having a proper tune...

Long time no update, the e30 sits. It's cold. 

I did get a new daily though

Looking forward to spring to get some wrenching done on the e30!

Where did the e34 go?

[GunMetalGrey]

Its sitting in the driveway

Was warm enough to get out in the garage finally! Organized a bit and made room for the new toolbox and did a few minor things to the E30.

Ordered an m42 radiator and cap for it. Looking forward to being able to work on it more.

It seems like everyone is getting e46s as dailys noe

[GunMetalGrey]

Crap picture but the e46 got changed up a bit

The cold does not make me happy, I want to get the e30 on the road!

[GunMetalGrey]

So when I last fired up the e30 it was leaking oil from the front part of the engine and needed to get that taken care of. I looked at it and saw that there was a gap in the gasket, which happened to be the old gasket still on the block. What the hell Ben. 

So either I pull the engine, or drop the subframe.

I went with the drop the subframe route, and bought the engine holder dealio, pretty slick deal.

How low the subframe will go!

Amount of blurry space between the subframe and pan.

 

PAn out!

Problem is here....

Disappointing that I missed this

Cleaned it up and just waiting to get the pan back on till the morning! So far so good.

Got the new toolbox in the spot I want it, and still haven't cleaned up around it  

And a picture of my tweaked out eyes for fun!

More for later!

[YoungCR]

Kinda surprised you didn't pull the motor as that seems like something you do often! Yay for progress.

[GunMetalGrey]

I do love pulling engines! But not this time, it ran before I let it sit, and I didn't want to play with it and mess something up.

That being said I do intend on re-wiring the harness because I don't know why I kept the 88 pin lol
