M52 b30 stroker rebuild back on the road

[magpie]

cheers Paul , buying your old one and tweaking it was ok but postage on the full system was the killer , i have faith in my m50 turbo touring buildmeister mate Craig

[Cook318IS]

No doubt about that really! I don't think I would trust couriers keeping it in one piece either due to the size. Get some videos up when it's done ;)

[magpie]

[magpie]

new bigger flange pictured on top of the m52 one to show the difference

[jimbom30cab]

Visiting hours !

LOL


Looks like a good job

[Cypriotgeeza]

Is that now 50mm all the way through?

[magpie]

Is that now 50mm all the way through?

yes two 50mm pipes from start to finish

I need to do this to mine!

I'm positive it's losing a few horses from the 50 - 46mm drop!

[magpie]

think mine was restricted at the manifold flange looking at the soot on it , he's also changing the inlet pipes on the scorpion back box to 50mm so it's all free flowing , no restrictions

[magpie]

pass the tissues

[Cypriotgeeza]

pass the tissues

[magpie]

a couple more of the finished article , just needs fully welded up .

[magpie]

f00k me this car is canny quick like seems to be up in the 6.5k rev mark instantly now .
been at the unit from about 1pm till bloody midnight though just so i can have it back, think i might of woke the street up like, because race car innit haha .

[tha881]

Looks great Mick. The headers are a work of art. What diff bush are you using?

[magpie]

the diff bush was in a box of bits i got with a breaker i bought and thought i might as well use it, not sure on the make of it but probably powerflex .

[magpie]

had the car back for an exhaust tweak which took 5 hours of fettling [ overwatched ] , the guy is a surgeon@ Artic Welding . I had blowing from the sleeve slots and the steering linkage was catching a bit when shown a roundabout driven properly , this made things a bit touchy cloth i shit you not .

next up is a dyno run , it's about time we had some figures

It certainly is time we had some figures

Looking forward to it mate!

[magpie]

tomorrow is judgement day

not sure how this is gonna go

[magpie]

well here's the long awaited results >>>>>>>>>>>>>>




that'll do me nicely thanks

Nice torque curve Mick

Wonder why its in 3rd gear?

[reggid]

i dont believe that torque curve, looks like 200Nm at about what would be 3000-ish rpm. i bet it has way more than that in reality it should be 200 lb-ft. Should be a torquey beast that looks far too peaky

it'll be getting done again next year at a different place and compare the two results innit

sounds like a plan, the number of dodgey looking printouts you see is ridiculous, some operators must either be hopeless or their equipment is and they still expect you to pay them. i avoid no name dynos these days, its hard enough to get relaible and consistent data from the bigger name ones. look for a Maha if you can they seem to have their act together

[DanThe]

Bosch dyno FTW

I will ask a mate if he knows of any your way

[magpie]

cheers lads

[drakesmith]

well here's the long awaited results >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hey
Is that with your ECU Remapped?

go away rich318i your boring

[drakesmith]

Excuse me! I would be intrested if thats with or without a remap..??

[magpie]

without , this is still running on Dan's ecu map

[magpie]

i think my oil pump failed today .... something expensive certainly did

it made 225 lb-ft today and 242 bhp ... earlier on in the day that is .

Sounds bad - what are the symptoms - engine seized, or summat?
