  1. Tonight I'll be changing the IP address of bimmersport to the following:

    IPv4 - 103.48.118.240

    IPv6 - 2001:df2:3400:3::::240

    The magic of DNS should take care of everything during the night.

    This should be the last change for ages :)

    Also depending on time, ill setup the old IP as a proxy to the new address to avoid any downtime.

    Edit - All Done.

  2. On a hot day it's creeping over 100c when pushing it (+6000rpm), the oil just sits at 125c and doesn't move. Since the oil cooler sits infront of the radiator I suspect the oil cooler it heating the water in the rad more than the cooling system can handle.

    I am thinking of replacing the current oil cooler with somthing like this mounted at the bottom - http://store.bimmerworld.com/bimmerworldcr-racing-e36-oil-cooler-p1662.aspx - my thoughts being I gain all the cooling space of where the the current oil cooler is fitted and I am also putting 20c through that part of the radiator rather than 120c.


  3. I will be moving this site and a few others to my server based at Hampton Downs tonight, probably around 9pm. Expect downtime etc etc until tomorrow morning.

    From tomorrow, Bimmersport and a few other sites I manage will be the only ones hosted at a race track, possibly world wide.

    Initially the site will be hosted on regular spinning disks, but if it runs like a sack of sh*t I will put it on solid state storage.

  4. It's due to a combination of factors:

    The motor is making peak compression for its type - This is thanks to new OEM BMW parts and a proper running in procedure.

    The injectors have been serviced - Flow patterns were off on two

    The motor has a 3" straight through exhaust. - No cat's, only a cheap muffler on the rear.

    The motor has a straight 80mm drain pipe as an intake - No restriction and always gets good cold air.

    The ECU has been refined to find the sweet spot at every 500rpm, it used to be tuned in 1000rpm brackets.

    I would be interested to see how the motor would do with aftermarket cams and a carbon airbox.


  5. Just to bump this thread. A lot has gone on, I had to rebuild the motor again (two pistons cracked) and this time did it myself, suffice to say its running a lot better now, compression tests are up to around the 210psi mark, up from 180-190 that the last build got.

    Big thanks to M3AN on the forum for letting me rent your timing tools, I will replace the pin I bent after this weekend is over :)

    Now making some really good power at the wheels, 310rwhp to be exact, it's also making over 300rwhp from 6000-7500rpm which is primo.

    There are heaps of pics on the facebook page https://www.facebook.com/bmw303 and I put little updates a lot of the time.

    We are racing this weekend in the 6 hour enduro, live feed will be live.hamptondowns.com - I will be having a live in car feed as well.
