They don't make a 5w-40 in HPS.
I would pick 5w-30 or 10w-40 then. The hps is much better oil, anything api approved now is not that great, thanks epa. Their website basically says once out of warranty use hps, it has a better additive blend and higher zddp. Not trying to start an oil argument, just sharing what I have learned.

I appriciate the input!
I've read a bunch of oil threads when I had my e30 m3 with the S14. Those can get heated!!

I dare someone to go over to www.bobistheoilguy.com and post a recommendation for some value brand oil to be used in a performance car application with 10k change interval.
Actually dont, im not ready for the world to end yet.

The dyno sheet from when I was at 13psi. Too rich??
@DrLeadFoot

Afrs actually look real good there. If your wideband is accurate then for whatever reason its running a bit rich at the moment. Do you have an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? You could use that as a fine adjustment tool if TRM sends you tunes that continue to be extra rich
-
I do but it is on the shelf and not in the car along with a road rally fuel rail.
I'm going to schedule some dyno time at Late Model Throttle and get some pulls on paper at 18psi. Send them to TRM and have them work their magic.

The tough thing about the remote tuning is that they base their tweaks off of a formula which wont necessarily get you where you need to be on the first try, it may take several iterations.
I could provide you with the same tweaks they do if I had a way to write to that chip. Thats just saying that theres not a whole lot of voodoo to it.
Have you re-calibrated your wideband recently?
-
I have a new unit from PLX as of last year that didn't see too much use. Should I get it calibrated?

That's a good lookin car you got there!

Looks great--which is impressive seeing as I can't even see the car in those photos!

Popped in the new Spark plugs in the e30 gapped to .025
Still breaking up same as before. I need to get on the dyno and have TRM flash a new chip ASAP.
The old plugs were sketch. I'll get pictures soon.
I emailed [email protected] to inquire about this:
I need a different diff as the bearings are getting loud in the current 2.79lsd so I'm going through Wanganstyle Global for a new Diff. Here are some of his comments about what I'm going with:
Complete blueprinted 4 disc lsd unit with 2.79 final drive + standard Ramps produces max lock of 60%; you honestly don't need more- I'm pretty well known for high power differentials; I have a few locals at 500-700rwhp with street driven cars and 1200rwhp for drag.

#1 Leaky injector? This one is almost always wet.
#2 Notice the curled sides of the prong thing.

#4

Stock evo 8 diff tabs bolt right to an e30 diff, found that out the other day.
No luck finding an e36 cover? -

All you would need is a simple chip burner if they don't have any v

So he recommends standard ramps for drag applications? I'm looking at building the exact same diff. And is he saying the 188mm diff with upgraded clutch discs is going to hold up to 1200rwhp? I thought past 700+ you needed a 210mm?
Sorry I'm just trying to build an absolutely bulletproof driveline.

That would be a direct question for him as I know very little about diffs. https://www.facebook.com/globalwanganstyle?fref=ts
