...while listening to Justin Timberlake's "You Got It On".
The car sounds fantastic underneath that bridge. Can't wait to see in person.

I'm glad to see you guys didn't end up in a fiery ball on the side of the road.

i was wondering if anyone was gonna catch on to the music. I wanted a nice cozy environment for taking Brian out on our Mexico racing date.
also great timing brian, LOL - there was some slow SUV in front of us and all you hear is me saying "this guy is gonna get assrammed" LOLĀ
my friends are known for their comedic timing
so, the update: Ā I have boost again after unplugging my JB4 boost solenoid sensor. I put the stock one back in and all my boost issues disappeared. It's odd because as of right now, we haven't even started a JB4 map 6 yet - my car is still running with JB4 in Map 0 (disabled) while the cobb BEF gets sorted out. It's possible i didn't seat the sensor properly so I'm gonna re-do that when the weather is better, but if there is still an issue I will be looking at BMS and saying "wtf". Could be Jb4 ISO 5.9 but I doubt it.Ā
So right now I am at least happy to be at normal operation with an early cobb tune running peak 17 psi which in the next couple weeks will be getting sorted towards 19 psi more consistently across the board, with a peak around 21 on E50 once I get the JB4 issue sorted out. The car is very strong even as it currently sits. I took another friend of mine for a ride last night who likened the brutality of the pull to when he drove a 458 Italia last fall.Ā
Once I have the Cobb tune sorted, I will probably get a dyno chart before starting on the Jb4 map 6, for comparison purposes.

Awesome. I have a dyno appointment at Beyond Redline on Friday, April 22nd. Would be cool to run both cars if you're up for it.
I want to know what my car is putting down before I race the 1/2 mile at NoFlyZone in Illinois on the 30th.

Whaaaat dude we need to caravan for that. There's no way my tune will be ready because dzenno is on vacation from April 9 through the 18th or something but I would totally go alongĀ to watch some cool cars.
Beyond redline is hours away from me so I will have to pass but let me know what your plan is for the 30th

Are you going?
My friends and IĀ are getting a hotel on Thursday night in Milwaukee (heavy drinking will probably be involved). Then we will drive 3.5 hours to a hotel in Champaign, IL for Friday and Saturday night. The airstrip races are about 20 minutes away from our Champaign hotel.

i didn't even know it was happening until you mentioned it. It's a hell of a hike. I was hoping it'd be closer and not so far south of chicago. Ā ;(

update: cobb flash is done and starting on jb4 map now. The BEF used in the videos taken above is hitting about 11 psi at 3k and getting up to 18 at 5500 and holding that to redline. For JB4 will be initially onĀ 17 psi across the board from 3k rpm, and with a couple tweaks hopefully end up closer to 20 psi across the boardĀ on e50.Ā
I still can't believe how well this turbo holds boost at higher rpm. It's such a staggering difference from a stock N55 turbo which just utterly ran out of breath at like 5200. This thing hits 6500 and keeps going.Ā
if this shitfuck wisconsin weather would just...fix itself...

installed kW street comfort coilovers this weekend and just had Big Bear Tire do the adjustments today. H&R springs were a cheap way to prove whether or not I could get in my driveway if I lowered my car, but I definitely think I waited too long to get these coilovers. The ride height is so much more even now between front and back. Before the front was sagging over the tire and the back was 1.5" above the tire. Not to mention having springs that are matched properly to the damper in a proper coilover setup has dramatically improved ride quality.Ā

Looks good man!

interesting, I actually have a bit of a creaking noise when i turn the wheel at low speed/stopped as well, but it started about 2 weeks after having the car back together from the turbo install. I haven't been able to definitively figure it out either. I"ve re-torqued everything but it sounds like the steering boots are pulling.Ā
shoulda taken it back to them. They do a lot of track setups for people I know and I've had all 4 of my cars there and never any issues. Jason is usually really good. Our goal should be to get our steering problem fixed before the next WIBimmers meet, otherwise Snap will just have more ammunition to make fun of us with as he lashes out at others who have functioning cars because he refuses to man up and buy a 335.

Looking good.Ā
I had my car aligned at big bear last fall and whatever they adjust in the steering has been squeaking ever since. Ā It gets worse when the temp gets colder so I'm really stumped what squeaks.
All they do is turn the inner tie rod... unless the boot got jammed up it shouldn't make any noise, although if that happens it usually doesn't make noise and/or the boot will correct itself. Ā If it's only when turning the wheel it's likely a lower balljoint or upper strut mount.

ran a data log with 19 psi targets from 3k to 7k last night. Some adjustment is in order to keep the boost target a little tighter and on track but it's starting to come together. Holding 18.6 when I let off throttle at 6750 rpm feels pretty good. Hopefully in the next week or two I will be in a spot to get on the dyno

That's exactly what I thought. I took the tie rods off a while back and greased the outer ball joints but that didn't help at all. It sounds like it's more where the rack and pinion meet.
