update

[Ant]

Well it would seem the sensor is functional then dude !

Hmm, I'd say the idle mix was waaaaaaaaaay off, whats the Emerald saying dude ?

[lentec]

Cheers ant will pm some details

[lentec]

Well looks like the heads gonna have to come off

Think i was a bit trigger happy with the drilling of the head!
Im getting no oil from the spraybar!!! i even ran it with the rocker cover off dry as a bone
Ive drilled 4 too many holes on the exhaust side rockershaft to cam bearings

It also looks like my supercharger has sucked some crap in from somwhere
and made a mess of the roters

[lentec]

Ive been advised that oilways can be plugged but i need to get the head off!
As anyone who has done this knows it aint fun!

Still ordered new gasket and bolts gonna pick em up this afternoon will hopefully be back on track by friday!

wish me luck

[Turbo-Brown]

Oh weak! Sorry to hear that Len

What were the holes for?

[lentec]

I used the 27 head and 25i camshaft as there is 4 extra berings i asumed both sides nedded drilling!
At the moment looking like a minor setback just a bit more work,sweat,skin needed!

[Ant]

sounds like some brass plugs are the order of the day Len.

Bad news on the S/C mate, WTF could have got through the filter and still caused damage

all in our stride eh chaps, you fellas coming to Lakesdie BTW ? be nice to meet in person

[Turbo-Brown]

When's the Lakeside thing? Doubt I'll be ready before the end of september at this rate

Had to plead with the guy I buy metal from for him to send me a stick of ali. I'd designed the throttle bodies for the injectors to mount directly in the 25mm thk plate. However, I've thought better of that idea so I need to machine up some bosses to space the injectors from the head a bit.

Sadly, he's off for two weeks today so I'm hoping for a miracle!

[e30_Turbo]

My Injectors and wideband are here!!!

6 x 440cc/min lime green injectors and one LC-1 wideband controller & sensor!!

Well happy now, bring on the weekend!!

[Turbo-Brown]

Sweet!

How much were the injectors?

[Matt318i_droptop]

Sweet!

How much were the injectors?

Alex,

They were about $230, but I got them from a guy in the states who had them spare, plus the LC-1.

Ant sourced his from ebay, same ones at about the same price too.

I take it you got the urge now?

Two of the green ones flow more than all six of the std ones, god knows what the fuel consumption is gonna be, ow well to late to worry about that now!

(ooops, wrong sign on , mark,)

[Turbo-Brown]

I've got some slightly bigger injectors from a Pug Mi16 which according the Emerald's little calculation should flow enough for about 300bhp on a 6cyl engine. Should be more than enough for my 260bhp aspirations anyway

Anyhoo, just got an e-mail from my mate to say that the material to make my silencer and air box has turned up so I'm gonna be a busy burger this weekend!

[e30_Turbo]

Alex,

You did get six of them tho didn't ya?

[Turbo-Brown]

I've got 10

Should be able to find something suitable out of that lot.

[Karan]

whack the spare 4 in the charge pipes somewhere...LOL

[Andy335Touring]

How much was the LC-1 ?

[Ant]

Brand new in the USA direct off innovate motorsports they are $200 including the software for datalogging etc.

purchase from diyautotune.com , reliable and fast service

[Andy335Touring]

Cheers Ant

[Ant]

The LC1 is the WB02 and a controller, the Emerald has a WB controller internally so you can save a few $$ Andy, I believe the senor alone can be had for $100

[lentec]

Well its running again!
It was a lot of bloody hard work! i had some help tho! cheers andy!
http://lentec-e30.tripod.com/index15.htm
sounds a lot better now!
just need to remount the s/c it looks like the belt may have been jumping = less
boost and the skufs on the roters are from it standing for a while!

I didnt know the emeralds had a WBO2 controller!
on the subject of o2 sensors any luck ant?

[Andy335Touring]

Bonus !

I thought i needed the controller to interface with the Emerald.

So i could just get a WBO2 from some where in the UK and hook it up to the ECU ?

What i need though is a cheep lap top PC so i can make use of the data logging on the Emerald.

[Turbo-Brown]

I was also under the impression that you needed some kind of controller for the WB on Emerald.

Might be worth check with them just to be sure?

[Andy335Touring]

Might be worth check with them just to be sure?

I will ring them up to check.

I've got a cossie 24v coil pack to wire up as well and the manual doesn't say which pin outs to use with a wasted spark 6 cylinder set up so i'll ask about that as well.



I also want to know which resistors i need to use with the low impediance E28 M5 injectors that i want to use with my TB's.

[Turbo-Brown]

Aah yeah, there's a different wiring diagram for the DIS 6 cyl. You lose some function or other (can't remember what) when you use a DIS coilpack for 6cyl operation

A mate of mine just bought a cheapish Lap Top from Woolworths
I would assume its an offer all in their stores.

It cost him Ԛ£349 and seems a fair lap top - he got rid of all the pre-programed software like AOL and the cheap antivirus stuff etc, and it does everything he wanted. The only problem is that the CD drive is a separate unit connected via USB.

Not sure what specs you would need to run the stuff for Emerald, but it might be worth a look.

Me too, just missed out on a ebay pair for Ԛ£11 + p&p!!

Only want a basic one, just for MS really, home PC looks a bit strange sat in the passenger seat

[lentec]

andy: i had the same problem with the coil pack wiring if you look at the bottom of one of the pages (not in the manual!) they supply with the m3d it does say there!

hold on ill go look!

[Andy335Touring]

I've done that !

But no good for data logging though

James, thats well cheap ! So long as i can get the Emerald OS loaded on to it and it has the 9 pin connector for the serial cable i'm not bothered what else its got feature wise.

Is this the one ?

http://www.woolworths.co.uk/wwstore/pro ... op=details

I've got a mate with a lap top but it hasn't got the 9 pin connector on it

I am a bit scared of getting a second hand lap top incase it has problems i can't fix as i havn't a clue when it comes to lap tops.

Cheers dude that would be great

[lentec]

It says pin 4 main relay controll is also driver for third coil
the other two are as the manual says.

[lentec]

If its got no serial port you need one of theese

Ive came up with a way to get the cam rockers ect out with the head in place!!!!

[Andy335Touring]

Thanks for the info mate

That sounds a weird way to do it ?

The relay wants a constant - and the coil would shurly want a variable intermitant - to trigger it ?

Is yours wired this way ? Did you have to change any thing in the soft ware to change over to this set up ?

[lentec]

Thats the way mines wired in!.
only told the software in the setup bit that it was six cylinder

Your a star mate !

I can borrow my mates lap top now

Thats cool mate, just seemed a little strange to me.

So do you run the relay and the the third ignition circuit together from pin 4 ?
