Its pretty big to drive with. It was ok with the steering box but now with the power steering it could be alot smaller

[Eddie 66]

Look what I picked up this afternoon

Brillant Thread.

You make everything seem so simple! Congrats on finishing it mate, I hope you are happy with your finished result!

I sure as hell would be!

Looks fantastic - I like how cleanly the e36 interior has gone in.

I priced a VDO and was quoted $320

Yeah, I got them out of the USA so it was much cheaper but still ~$300 for speedo and tach and something else I can't remember. I'd rather have got smart with an e30 speedo, given I'll probably end up with an E30 diff...

Update-

Mega Squirt not going so well

The unit is a MSI v2.2 and has a extra board for the VR sensor. It would seem that VR sensor and the conditioner are not happy with each other.

sequential ignition? sorry I don't know what you mean.

sequential as in individual coils. You could just run wasted spark and only need a functioning crank position sensor for the MS.

[Eddie 66]

Its just running wasted spark.

The Mega Squirt is out and running, but still go problems with the vr conditioner. engine won't rev pass about 2800

I have now got the engine running pretty good, but still have a problem with the vr conditioner, The input of conditioner into the mega squirt goes to sh*t just after 6000 rpm.

[pureboiracer 0]

the vr conditioner??? not familiar with that.

but may that be the fault?

[Eddie 66]

Success at last rev limited at 7000 now. Car whet back on the dyno today. Got to 108kw at the wheels@ 6500. Its not big power but Bmw quotes 100kw at the flywheel @ 6000 and all I did was bolt on some side drafts.

I forgot to take the video camera, so no vid

I'm going to a hillclimb next weekend, I won't forget the camera for that.

Wahooo!!

Awesome

Can't wait to see these vids

[tire 10]

That's pretty sweet considering m20b25s in E30s struggle to touch 100rwkw with 2 more cylinders and 700 more cc.

A bit of an age gap between the engines, Plus I can't rule out different dyno's or tho we are using the same dyno that gave as 78kw on the old m10 with the same carbs

Cool dry air ? I wouldnt think it bought that much HP difference with carbs and tune however ... ?

I was just hoping I didn't go backwards from the m10

Reading about the M44 lots of comments are made about the inlet manifold and how restrictive it is, and really its probably only about 15-17% gain
