DrLeadFoot Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Awesome to hear it is running!!! How easy is it to tune? I have no clue how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 It was a total bitch to get it started, due to the simple fact that MS will run absolutely anything so getting the values set to what you need is a chore. I cannot wait for all of the benefits that come with it though! I started just by tuning the VE table and warmup enrichment to get the AFR's to come closer to where they needed to be. Tuning the car while driving is the only way to do it effectively so I have to wait for spring! http://s756.photobucket.com/user/gunmetalgrey/media/VID_20131028_154202_114_zpsaa0c7570.mp4.htmlDon't know how to embed in here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a source that tells you what they are? Once you get it on the road you can log in/adjust all the AF ratios at 23% throttle from idle to redline. Then move to 24% and do the same? I think Snap answered me on this but I need it to be beaten into my head to understand. Lastly, lets say you went on a 3 hour tour through stop and gos, hwy cruising and rage drift stretches. You can park the beast and lay in your bed and go though all the mapped throttle angles and AF ratios and smooth them out? Wake up after endless hours of adjusting, plug the labtop in your car and upload the new tune and do the process all over again? Thanks for guiding the blind man.

GunMetalGrey Posted January 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Shoot from the hip really lol, I have an AFR gauge that is wired into MS and has a standalone gauge, it runs off of MAP and has no MAF.That is the table that tuning is done on, given the values on the Axis are different than mine, but it is the same idea. I can tune on the fly, all changes are immediate and once they are burned to the ecu (which you can do while driving) they are set. The tuning is all just shooting for the AFR you want, and there is a assisted version to help smooth out large areas (automatically tunes to values that you set) I am the god of my engine in short, there are more options and settings and I/O's than I know what to do with !

B C Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Are you only running 104 for a max value on the y-axis for fuel load? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 how can you possibly expect me to read a post thoroughly before replying? sheesh. well thats good to hear then. That VE table is too rich and too lean between columns (averaging out to the desired AFR during interpolation) and could be smoothed considerably.

GunMetalGrey Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 That bad boy is on its way! Walbro 255 to keep up with the required amounts of fuel! I uncovered the engine bay today after working on a friends e46 for awhile, damn does a clean bay look so much nicer than stock ones!Obligatory e46 pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLeadFoot Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Good choice! That is what I'm running and currently I'm richer than Richy Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrLeadFoot Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Ha!! I know that! It has the ability to run rich. I'm just trying to make myself feel better by that statement due to not having a proper tune...Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Long time no update, the e30 sits. It's cold. I did get a new daily thoughLooking forward to spring to get some wrenching done on the e30! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Was warm enough to get out in the garage finally! Organized a bit and made room for the new toolbox and did a few minor things to the E30. Ordered an m42 radiator and cap for it. Looking forward to being able to work on it more.

RamRod E28 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 It seems like everyone is getting e46s as dailys noe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Crap picture but the e46 got changed up a bitThe cold does not make me happy, I want to get the e30 on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 So when I last fired up the e30 it was leaking oil from the front part of the engine and needed to get that taken care of. I looked at it and saw that there was a gap in the gasket, which happened to be the old gasket still on the block. What the hell Ben. So either I pull the engine, or drop the subframe.I went with the drop the subframe route, and bought the engine holder dealio, pretty slick deal.How low the subframe will go!Amount of blurry space between the subframe and pan. PAn out!Problem is here....Disappointing that I missed thisCleaned it up and just waiting to get the pan back on till the morning! So far so good.Got the new toolbox in the spot I want it, and still haven't cleaned up around it And a picture of my tweaked out eyes for fun!More for later!

YoungCR Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Kinda surprised you didn't pull the motor as that seems like something you do often! Yay for progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 I do love pulling engines! But not this time, it ran before I let it sit, and I didn't want to play with it and mess something up.That being said I do intend on re-wiring the harness because I don't know why I kept the 88 pin lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunMetalGrey Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 So I finally got the gasket all off, it was like someone used grey gasket sealer back in the 80's and it sat and got melted to the block. Total PITA to get it off, but it is all gone now so that is good. I added a few dabs of non hardening gasket maker to the timing cover and rear main cover to seal the gaps well and put the pan back on. I then started pulling the engine harness apart, because 88pin connectors are dumb. More on that later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
