E30 Zone

some pics from today I'll get uploading vids soon

Some proper chariots there

toby took me for a spin in his car and bloody hell it pulls like a train!!!

Heres my printouts. Well chuffed with the result considering its running a standard head/cam and its not been properly mapped on a dyno yet
Well over 220ftlb of torque

Good day gents.

Some amazingly low mileage cars at the dyno today, very impressed.

Toby´s car has AMAZING potential. 295hp at 7psi with a "2.5, small turbo and according to him a bad manifold.
And Oakey´s 2.7 made very nice figures as well.

I see high numbers for E30´s and UK BMW´s soon

Some good pics and vids dave

shame wasn't a full turnout!
Good day none the less. (even tho my figures were a bit disapointment )

Great pics dave, some nice ones of mine! Look forward to another when i've done some mods.

Just noticed, no pics of the shark nosed 5's! Jamie's (jam172) 528i was looking minty fresh as usual!

I took loads of pics of most of the cars but I was soo cold that almost all of them were blurry as feck! Did you notice how shaky my camera footage is on the vids

i'm liking the torque plateau between 3500 and 4750rpm

Nice piccys Oakey,where's one of my sleeper? Notice you only show the 'good' side of yours.....

There is no good side! lol

Ive got a few but theyre blurry

here y'are:

Hey,you gave me lots of help when I was planning and building my engine,it was good to put a face to the name. Your wheels looked very cool,shame that you had problems at the end of the day.Those '5's looked mean,wish that I had never sold mine..just imagine,a 520i with a 2.7...

Thanks Oakey,I have just printed one off,now 'er indoors might just belive me....

Toby your car's a beast

Was good to meet you and thanks for giving me your dads screwdriver

i'll mention that you said thanks next time he's trying to replace a fuse and can't find it

glad you got home ok anyway, good to meet you. had a pretty dismal run back up the M1 as it soon started raining - and despite the resulting light footed-ness the b@stard still ended up burning 55 quid's worth of unleaded today

what mods you got? I thought you had a bexleys built car with gasflowed head and mild cam swap?

is that Karan's m5 engined thing i see? what did it put out?

295hp and 244lbs torque

It is running standard 325i head at the moment. I removed my gasflowed one ready for a rebuild with lairier cam ready for the individual throttle bodies after head gasket problems.

At the moment its basically just a bexleys built bottom end running on Megasquirt with wasted spark. No afm etc..

Bexleys only built bottom end BTW.

With a mental cam, ITB's and a good bit of mapping I'm hoping for a nice power figure

Good day, good figs, all good !

Dave, thats pretty decent if I say so myself

I'll be hooking up with toby to get that beasty 100% in the near future

Your car was the best sounding car there though

What were the figures, 220hp? Not sure about the engine specs.

Looks a great day!

From the front his sounds the best. Exhaust note from the six's is unbeatable

I think the 320is put down a dissapointing 180ish hp? about 140ftlb I think

180 at the wheels?

maxfield wrote:180 at the wheels?

No. Thats why it was dissapointing. I think he would have been chuffed with 180@wheels. The fuelling was out apparently.

I think bss325 sport put out more power and torque

That needs some cams and a remap

It definately does. Thats what his plans are- remap and cams

Daimlermans 2.7 has potential for more power also. He should gain a few more ponies easily once he gets the fuelling sorted.

296 and 265lb

I really enjoyed the day, Sal and his team were very professional and easy to talk to, so a very big thanks to them and Barry for organising the day.

Weather wise i have not been so cold in a very long time, and i think that was the same for most people.

It was really good to meet everyone, thanks for making it a great day.

Just for the record, 184.9BHP and 190 torque, very pleased from a 20 year old E28 528i with only mods being manifold and s/s system:

^ Theres the old minter!

That is one very very nice E28 which makes a fantastic noise.

Look forward to seeing the M5.

Sooner than you think Sal, i would love to have it remaped, perhaps you could PM me some approx: costs when you get time?

Thanks again to you and your team, us old E28 Gits really enjoyed the day.

I love dyno results
