+1 Jib, wish i didnt sell my G25 damnit! Jam that on LFS with drift setup FTW. I had screamer pipe sound synchronised to the throttle and LFS tweak to choose whatever configuration of motor I dare choose and whatever HP. Try that one Andre

Far out man that is serious! Whats the go here Tony?

Pretty sure this has already been posted bro. Sounds absolutely mint none the less

Hate subarus but not in this instance haha! Shot Simon for the bonus footage that car never ceases to impress me and his driving none the less!

Ahh music to my ears

Hey man I tried mine last night and it doesnt do that aye. It starts up instantlly without me even waiting for a few seconds...

Apparantly guys in the states run 25psi down the strip on my setup, however im not keen to go any higher than the 17psi its at right now. Nah the Link G3 doesnt support back logging bro if thats what your refering too?

Voted for you bro

Oh sweet thats mint so just keep that on you in case you get pulled over and the cops are onto it enough to suss your modifications

Shot bro good effort man! Wish mine had a cert, you will have to wait for your cert plate eh but hopefully they slap the WOF sticker on there for ya place i went to last slapped my WOF sticker on once the car was fixed upto standard.

So adequate for the track also? Could be alot cheaper going E36 radiator. So much thicker aftermarket ones are for cars that get really hot? Oh I am using a electric fan already Glenn haha its a massive 16" mate. Oh right so how come the factory E30 radiators have the switch in the drivers side top location of the radiator? Might have to change that then. The radiator isnt exactly well exposed so when you mention restrictions I do have a intercooler blocking the bottom half of the radiator and there will be an oil cooler blocking the top half very soon... Studid thing is Glenn, the car takes forever to heat up (cooling system capacity the reason?) but it seems to run at 95' once warmed up which is more than it used to and that maybe because of the water cooled turbo? Which answers your last question mate. When you speak of the twin speed setup for the fan.. at the moment the fan is just either I/O so when its on it will be at full speed correct? Probably not a bad idea because then when the system gets hot even with the fan on low (in race condition) it will switch to a better faster speed correct? Thanks heaps mate

Haha umm not that I know of aye man i have noticed the last 5 days the car is running rather rich on light throttle could be a leak somewhere though? As far as that startup issue I dont ever start my car instantly anyway bud I wait till I hear the fuel pump purge. Im about to go start the car anyway so ill let ya know p.s are you running G3 or G4?

Haha John that looks pretty loose man! Impressive stuff things are comming together nicely now aye. Keep em vids comin dude How did your wof/cert go man?

how many outputs are there for the indicators and central locking? Pretty sure you have to wire an outlet to the right hand central locking relay and one outlet to the left hand central locking relay? Then with the indictaors I think its the same you need to wire to the indicator relay. This is going of my trusty memory from just simply reading through a uniden installation guide though...

Ryan I never heard of any bad rep about the older Links, knew many people running them and they done their job. Of course when you are going to compare them to world leading ECU's on the market that already were big and well developed they will make the first 2 gens of links look like crap. My mate runs the Gen 2 Link in his race car and it has ran his car for the two years he has owned it and many years when the previous owner had it. It has served the car very well without any issues But you are very correct on the fact that their latest product is much much better than any of their previous versions which naturally is bound to be the case with such a young product its only going to get better.

The G3 happens to be actually quite a descent unit thank you the Gen 2 and first link that came out well then yea they werent the greatest but at their time of release were considerded a reasonable product, they still had faster processing capabilities than any old factory ECU. But I'd definitely recomend a G4 Kerry they are quite a way up there in the market now mate.

Good stuff Max its really not that big a job in a sense of complication, more in the sense of making room to pull it off and all the bolts that hold it on haha. You will not need to distatch the driveshaft from the gearbox and you will need to as you said raise the motor up enough to get the sump off the motor as it will need to clear the cross member. Your other option would be too drop the crossmember down...

Hey Glenn cheers for that! What is the reasoning for the E36 radiator? Glenn my thermostat at the moment is an 82deg one i think and i already have a thermo fan switch running from the factory hole in the top drivers side of the tankless E30 radiator which switchs on at 90deg i believe. Glenn I was talking to Rod Gilbert who is the local BMW specialist down here he used to own what was called Continental Auto i think. He explained the cooling system as this: The remote expansion tank is obviously your point of filling the cooling system. Then you have your big hose that goes to the backside of the thermostat under the intake like you say and a smaller hose that that runs from the top of the radiator to just under the cap on the reservoir. He explained it as the system is fully self contained thus meaning like typically on all vehicles when your cooling system gets hot the water expands and has to have somewhere to go (in this case the remote expansion tank) and the way BMW has designed it is that there is no need for maintanance on keeping the cooling system topped up. Which is typical of a quality vehicle manufaturer like BMW. Anyone who pays money for such a car from factory does not want to spend anytime under the hood and this type of system prevents one of those maintanance requirements. Now please feel free to make any correction to this. So we concluded that I could run a much thicker race radiator and make rid of the hose going to the back of the thermostat and just have a typical overflow bottle running from the radiator. Please remember guys this is going to be on the track alot guys so its not meant to be practical as to the standards of BMW.

Kerry, if you ring Link in chch they will direct you to your local outlet which will be able to give you a price. Not sure who the supplier in Hamilton is but my Link G3 cost me $3,200 that was the price of the ECU + Wiring + Installation. The G3 ECU alone was roughly $1,400 im very doubtful you will be able to purchase the G3 anymore as the G4's have replaced them they are around $1,800. The only difference between the two is something along the lines of datalogging and a fe wother features + a newer styled com port to connect to the pc i think from memory. Luke

Damn I really wanted to run with a thicker core, so the E36 radiator is fine for the track? Even if i did get this aftermarket one, I could easily seal off where the cap is on the top of the radiator and keep running the remote reservoir and retain the hose between the reservoir and the back of the water pump/thermostat housing. If it is possible guys let me know because I would like to go with something thicker that will deal with a good thrashing on the track. Like BimmerBeast said I hope someone has the answer haha! Thanks heaps Kerry for the info I could end up going E36 radiator...

haha it is an electric hence why i have it on the front of the radiator as in behind the bumper and its a 16" so shes pretty big already So im better to stick with an E36 fan or a much thicker aftermarket one? I just thought it would be much more of a benefit and only $160 so long as it will work with the BMW cooling system..

My mate has a thicker 40-50mm thick radiator for $160 cant really go wrong there? Problem is guys I have no room for factory viscous fan or even room to put the fan on the motor side of the radiator, the fan is on the front of the radiator.

Haha oh whoa didnt even know u were on here Leigh lol! Whats with the double posting haha i accidentally did tho too oh well. That stunt dude on the hamz bridge is crackup aye!

Haha yup sorry didnt notice the link lol! I dont know alot about bikes aye just that 1000rr is damn nice and my workmates YZF750 Lol wtf Leigh you joined bimmersport! I was just talkn bout ur bike then reliased you'd beat me too it and posted it haha [edit] double posting

Yeh the pre 08 shape are so mint, still love the 08-09 shape tho. Repsol colours are awesome aye! Theres one in the bike shop across the road from work here its so badass I want lol!
