I couldn't believe the engine bay shot. Haha
-
It's a farewell tour for the dif!
-
The diff is on it's way! Some pics.

Haha. I thought that was great!
Yes, 60%. I'll let ya know how it feels.

Why the odd input flange?

Why the odd input flange?
From the builder:
I started with a circa 2001 z3m unit as its the newest for cosmetics; z3m just happens to use a round 4 bolt instead of square.
Bmw uses both 4 bolt in round and square; 0 difference really; round is just newer like 1997+
-
I kind of figured it would be something like that.
Not a big deal at all. Just curious!
Edit: I find it amusing that cosmetics come into play when selecting a case. I get it, because I always try to make my diffs look good, but it is under the car lol. I get it, but still find it amusing. -
man, you gotta get in on this dyno thing with me and Pat on the 18th !!
-
I called them and left a message. What time are you guys going? I have a late lunch with my parents and fiancée at 2:30 downtown Milwaukee. I could do it of I leave by 1:00.
-
seems legit. Pat scheduled us for 10 a.m.
-
Like Jordan said, we're at 10am and a 3rd car will be there at 11:15 so I imagine they could get you on at 12pm. Apparently I have a wedding to go to that I told my wife we weren't going to attend since we don't know the people. I did not win that battle but I found out after I scheduled the appointment and told her I am not cancelling and if we're going to the stupid wedding then she can come with me to the dyno so I don't have to drive home to pick her up.
I don't know if you can tell but I was a little angry about this lol.

Stumbled across this thread that deals with leaky power steering pumps of the S5X motors. Placed hear for reference.

Ugh...

Well this was a huge PITA.
Broke off two pins of the TRM turbo chip thingy.

Kudos to Snap for helping me out!!!


I had an extra ECU that I grabbed from a junk yard back when Kummrow thought my harmonic damper problem was an ECU problem... But that $90 for the ECU came in handy because we used the wire holding the tag on to solder up the TRM chip!

Now all is right in the world and she is running like champ! A little break up still but not as bad as before. I'm scheduled the 18th for some dyno pulls at Late Model Throttle in Waukesha, WI to get a better look at what is going on then I'll have TRM send me a better tune.
