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

Coils are all wired up.  I need to see if I need to run them to grounds coming from the harness or if I can just run them directly to the chassis ground.  I'm leaning towards running the grounds to the harness.

I disconnected the grounds from the MS3 and Expansion board from the pins.  I'll run these to the chassis ground for sure.  I don't want to overload those pins.

I still feel like I'm winging it so please help with any input.

A wired up coil.

All sealed up.

This is what they are resting on when in the stock 413 red label ECU. I could use this as the heat sink and bolt it to the cover to dissipate the heat. What do you think?

Form follows function. Increasing thermal efficiency in the name of broken axles is the name of the game

Do I seriously need to remove and sandblast my exhaust manifold for a third time....

With those chrome rims I need to be realistic and think about performance to make up for them...

Your ability to completely disregard industry terminology that has been used for twice as long as you've been on this earth simply because some vaping flat brimmed fucktard has given it a bad stigma does not make its use incorrect.

"Vaping flat brimmed fucktard"

I'm dead haha

I was referring to them as wheels long before vapes=) Just because industry used a term incorrectly doesn't mean that it is now acceptable. We are talking an assembly versus a component of the assembly here. That's like calling a light bulb a filament.

But chrome rims has that ring to it. This is great, hahaha

I'm not following you... Because the industry that uses the product has historically called it something (has for YEARS and still does) - we shouldnt because you don't like it?

You're partially correct - we are talking assembly components: A wheel assembly is made of a rim, tire, valve stem, etc...

This is normally the time when someone chimes in with the "but da rim iz da edge - R u stuped?!?". The edge of a cylindrical object can be a rim (edge) however in the context of a wheel assembly it's a lip (a rim can be a 1-2-or-3 piece assembly of a barrel/face/lip).

I've got bill of materials at work with Alcoa rims (from 30+ years ago through today) that call them rims - just because the current trend of today is to hate the term doesn't make it wrong.
