Nick_08 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I did a test on the effectiveness of the venturi jet pump. It was able to pump 1 gallon of fuel to the other side of the tank in 36 seconds with fuel pressure holding solid at 43psi. There was a fu*king tornado in the tank lmao. Very impressed. I've added a turbine back pressure sensor and a 3 port boost control solenoid. All plumbed and wired in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also dampens the exhaust pulses as they pass through the tubing and absorbs vibrations. I also installed a 0.04" restrictor/damper just prior to the sensor just to make sure the readings are stable. Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_08 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 Been awhile, here are some updates on the car. Finally got around to installing the remote brake bias adjuster. I got some new front wheels and tires. The tires rubbed on the factory wheel well liner so I made some new ones from hdpe. They clear with about a 1/4" to spare! Don't mind the socket spacer, I have some proper spacers on the way from McMaster along with some button head screws to replace those hex heads. Yes, transmission jack...the spring is removed. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if having the spring removed and the shock completely compressed counts as “under load” then yes. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some 16's that will clear e36m brakes, but not the majority. As far as I know, no 16 will clear e46 330 brakes as they are slightly larger than e36m.

jc43089 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 16" contour reps clear e46 330 brakes. I have test fitted that combo. Clearance is about 1/8" m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room, just need the right offset! Good info. I didn't want to risk the wheels not fitting with the 330i brakes. For some reason I get no notifications of posts even though I have the notifications turned on. Is this a common issue with the forum? Finally got the car on the ground. I approve.

Any idea how much camber you're running in the front? I'm debating switching to this setup at some point for a number of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get it in for an alignment this spring I can certainly come back and post a number for you if you would like. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know you can fit a decent tire without leaning them way in Nick_08 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
