E21 Project Thread - Part 2
-
Stumped the efi analytics guys and also the guy who built my MS2 e30 ecu. Sending the ecu back to him today so he can examine it. Hopefully its a quick fix.

HOLY SHIT DAVE!
You've been busy in the time that I've been pretending that I don't own a project car.
I think you and I need to have a sit down talk about parts and what not.
Looks awesome man I cant wait to see videos
Thanks man! Yeah for sure. I'd be down for a little sit down talk about stuff. I am in limbo mode right now due to my megasquirt connection issues. Otherwise I am sure I would have been driving around by now.
-
That's the next step. I will try using my tablet with Bluetooth connector (tomorrow hopefully) and see what happens.
-
One floor structural adhesive and riveted down. One more to go (for now)
-
Driver side floor is done
New accelerator pedal installed
Found a source in Portugal for group 2 parts and picked up the missing link to my kit, the front airdam
Figured out the stupid connection issue and got the car running and idling on its own too.
-
Did some more idle tuning, but was cut short when I noticed oil dripping bad from under the car. Turns out the exhaust manifold melted a hole in the turbo oil feed line. Time to make a new line and route it differently.
-
Getting closer with my modified dash panel.
I'll post a pic of it when done.

-
your updates are riveting.
I live on the edge.
-
It idles extremely well, just needs some road/load tuning (video posted probably wont show for tapatalk users)
-
^^^ so much win!!!
Brian (snap) came over tonight and helped do some idle tuning on the ole Megasquirt. Running way better than it was before. I have a small coolant leak and exhaust leak to tend to, but other than that sounds super smooth and healthy.
-
Finished up the center dash piece. Just have to wire it up in car now.
-
Does the push button start activate the efan when pushed at 13k clicks per minute when the car is stalled mid traffic?
**paging (s)nap

Got the center dash push button ignition all wired up, installed and working. No pictures tho unfortunately.
I also picked up a spare e21 rear subframe and an e30 rear subframe from JP to do a little chop surgery. I will be getting a chop/cut/weld operation done to put the e30 diff carrier onto the e21 subframe so that I can upgrade to a stronger e30 lsd instead of the super weak e21 lsd. Like shown below in some reference pics I found over on bf.c
