Current Project......pic added

Ok, you probably all know but I'll post its anyways..

I've been turboing Blingstas 2.7 cabby

turbo and manifold via Buster/Gcorky, cheers guys

MsnS-e ECU with triple spark output for wasted ( to be added later)running the stock "dizzy" and single coil for now

Today marked the final day, all the fabrication is finished, the ECU is wired and tested, all sensors etc fully working, the ECU fitting was a bit of a nightmare, the exixting loom has been chopped about so much, I gave up and made a new one , best way forward IMHO.

I'm pleased to say, using a basemap I had on file, the car started 1st try and run to temp without any issues, sure did smell bad though, heat wrap + VHT paint is mucho stinkio

I have loads of pix to post up, will add those later/tomorrow

Cant say much more on it as yet, the battery has died so mapping starts tomorrow 8.30 am

Excellent work Ant.

What sort of performance you ar hoping to attain?

[e30_Turbo]

Another boosted e30!!!

[DJ_B4L]

what sort og power we looking at i got a 2.7 would like to turbo it if the output is good

Ant i seen a few turbos in the car yard saw one in a mr2, one in a kit car with a cosworth engine that was a garrett turbo, one in vauxhall sumthing lol are these any good to turbo a 325 or a 327i?

Sweet looking forward to pics/driving impressions! i'm itching to start gathering parts for the touring

[blingsta]

WOW... my car!, and ive only just noticed this thread!!!! Cheers Ant, i wasnt expecting this!... Ive gotta Big up Ant for all his hard work and keeping my up to date with whats been happnin... I cant wait to get my car back!!, I will let everyone know what i think of finished product

[blingsta]

who added the boost junkie to my little pic??? thanx to who ever it was, thats cool

[Ant]

Now ready for its rightful owner to collect,

I've driven it, its all good baby, be even better when the engines done a few more miles.

for now it has 7.5 psi max, with a boost cut to protect in case of overboost, and the limiter is soft @4.9K, hard @ 5.1K, 377 miles since full rebuild, gotta protect the mans' investment

I'll let Blingsta close the thread with his 1 st impressions.

Saw your car in PPC here Ant, nice neat installation , looking at it I could swear it'd pass even BMW's engineering standards Not an engineer by trade per chance?

[blingsta]

Right, here i go... I met GOD today!, his name is ANT...!! What an awesome car ive got thanks to him!..very neat under the bonnet, just the way i would have done it myself.... And the performance? Well in my opinion, Everybody should go TURBO.. VRrrrrrrm - biiiissshhh !! sounds awesome.. my car feels so much more alive and very responsive even though its at a low boost setting until my engine beds in.... In short guys.. Im well pleased with outcome.. im gonna clock some miles then pay Ant another visit to get cars full potential........ I also want to take this opportunity to thank Ant again for all his done... TOP MAN

[blingsta]

sorry for the angry man (above) my son added that

[gcorky]

chuft for you bling-m8,,,,glad its working out for you

[blingsta]

thanks for your comments gcorky... im now officially a boost junkie !

[stonesie]

HAHA just seen how appropriate your avatar is blingsta

eaven before that smile starts to fade it will be due its remap





Reading all these posts about boosting makes me want to do mine....

[blingsta]

***UPDATE*** my petrol gauge is going down as if ive got a hole in the tank!! haha, im so loving it, just keep boosting it up and then Boooosh !!, thats whats drinking the juice i think? iI dont know if its the way i drive or if its normal, but it feels as though sometimes turbo kicks in at 2k rpm and sometimes at 3k rpm..?? is this normal? God i already want more power, but i think im very limited as my turbo is sooo close to the bonnet, the oil feed pipe has made its bed in the foam on the bonnet!.. Turbo is a different world!!!! I will definately be investing in a idle control valve though... bit to inpatient to be sitting there on a cold morning till it warms up

[Ant]

he he he, off boost the economy will be much better than stock dude, we have better control over the fuelling than ever before, if you accel onto boost then shut off, well yep you will get through some juice as the mixture goes from 16.1:1 @ cruise/light load to 13.3:1 on accel and richer still accel on boost.

with regard to the ICV, thats an option, I still say there's o need, its a good idea to let the car warm and ensure the turbo is well lubricated before setting of, 20 seconds @ 1.5K is all that she needs to run sweet

whats the mileage now dude ?

[blingsta]

Mileage now is at 550.. and yeah i suppose i can live without control valve.. ive put the loom and ecu behind glove box now too, few more questions i need to ask ya tho dude.. i'll e-mail ya..

[DieselMeister]

Nice

[Geoff]

Congrats on the car dude. I think we'd all love to see a few cheeky vids!! Idle, in-car, reving, and drive by if you please!

[blingsta]

thanx Geoff, How i'd love to do all that for you guys, but i dunno how to post any pics forget about vids!!! maybe on a next meet somewhere, someone can help me? cheers for all the comments guys... mileage is now 700, Ant fiddled with it a bit at lakeside to make the rev limiter cut in hard at 6k rpm.. so im still gradually getting more power from this animal!!!!

[d6dph]

Sounded smooth as hell last night. very impressive.

[blingsta]

cheers Dave, still lodsa power to be unleasehed from the beast i reckon! just need to get those miles on

[Dan318-is]

pics?

[blingsta]

ive got loads of the rebuild process that Ant kindly took for me, but havent got a clue how to post them.. i can send to someone who can post for me.. theres one pic of the finished engine bay on page one

[blingsta]

I went to a meet up at macdonalds 2nite on the A10.. quite a big crowd.. i drove in and the dump valve released its lovely noise.. within 20secs, the whole bloody crowd was round my car and checking under the bonnet!!! ive never had so much bloody attention!! i bloody love it..

[WillG]
