Sorting out a couple more ground wires then I should be all done with the dme side of the wiring harness.
Still need to wire up the new gauges and the GM IAT sensor.
Heat Sink'd the coil drivers.
Where I left it.

Glad you are doing a careful/quality job on the wiring. it looks good and will pay off
I sure hope so!

Going to make the temp sensor into a vacuum port or find a barb fitting at the hardware store.
Took a straight edge and a feeler gauge to the block at a bunch of different angles. This is the only spot that the .0015" feeler gauge found a gap. It has resistance but it still goes under the straight edge. The area in question is by the coolant port and is a little wider than the gauge. Thoughts?

Ben has something similar going on with his block as well.
I dont have the specs for a BMW handy but I believe .002" is the max. deviation for flatness on a typical cylinder head.
I wouldn't let it bother me if I were you. Nobody can say for sure that it will be fine/be a problem but if I were in your shoes i'd just forget about it and run with it.

That is kind of odd, it looks a lot like the imperfection that I have in mine!
With the material the HG is made out of I think it should be fine.
That doesn't extend to the cylinder does it? If not I wouldn't be too concerned about it. -

It does touch the cylinder wall. Honda Bond and call it a day?

Wiring up the traction control. Any pointers on which front ABS wire to tap into?
For the rear I'll use the vehicle speed sensor.

Posting this here for traction control reference. Any tips? Running MS3X

Where have I heard that name before?
From what ive researched, if you tap into an existing + from an ABS sensor then you need to amplify the signal like you mentioned the other day. Dialing in the amplification on that link I texted you looks like it requires an oscilloscope and an electrical engineering degree which is why I suggested making a bracket to mount a standalone wheel speed sensor.

he is a BF.C frequent user that has helped answer a few of my questions and knows his stuff.
I remember he used some signal converter that was cheap and got it to work great. Just facebook him or get him on BF.C. He will answer your question without any head scratching.

I have the traction control under control in my head after a bunch of texts, a phone call and a little research on my end.
