Re: My HMT e30
 

I run closed loop on my MS, but i make sure not to give it tomuch authority. I basically just use it for cruiising afr correction, a fellow once also told me that if it needs to correct more tnan 5% you prolly need to dial in your VE table some more.

Re: My HMT e30
 

I tuned it some more today. My wastegate might not be opening for some reason, either vacuum source or it's just kinda stuck. Or it's creeping like ----. I got a nice fuel ratio up untill 160kpa at which my gate should be fully opened but it keeps climbing up to almost 14psi then it starts to lean out with 19lb injectors.

I get clutch slippage at the top of either 3rd or 4th gear i cant remember.

But it does what I want it to. Really nasty burn outs. Here's some pics, I have some videos but they sound like ---- cuz of my phone so I'll try again later.

Re: My HMT e30
 

I blew a pinhole in my upper radiator hose. The ---- was smoking everywhere. I thought I lifted my head but it seems ok.

So now I'm dealing with clutch slippage in 3-4th.. All I can seem to find is SPEC clutches for my car.

Re: My HMT e30
 

A friend's 2002 used to munch upper radiator hoses,too. Wierd design on that alt mount, rubber bushings IIRC.

I have no love for Spec clutches. They are known for painted stock PP FTL.

Re: My HMT e30
 

no xtd clutch for you on ebay?

and dude... stock injectors?

Re: My HMT e30
 

Yeah coolant got all over my alternator belt and ---- coolant all over the place. It's a mess.

And yeah stock injectors. I've tuned it to a 12:1 fuel ratio for now at 8psi. When I was getting spikes due to a poor vacuum source my air/fuel was constant until 10psi then it leaned back out. I should have my 42lb Bosch injectors in soon but if that falls through then I gotta find out if DSM 450's will work. I'm not trying to spend a bunch of money on injectors.

As for clutches I've heard a bunch of negative things about SPEC. I've searched most of the big clutch companies but haven't found much.

Re: My HMT e30
 

i sold my spec for the m50, picked up a ltw fw and stg4 clutch kit from xtd for the same price and it takes more abuse then you would believe, see if they got one for ya on ebay

42's are the way to go dude...and i had the same hose ---- my ---- up, ---- bimmers

Re: My HMT e30
 

One thing I read about the Holsets is they spec a max of 80psi on cold starts, 10psi at idle, and ~30psi minium under load. Basicly what you get with a smaller feed line unrestricted on a Honda. They also run a minium 25psi in trucks, so you may need a little less oil pressure if you're being a ----- with just 10psi. :P I think the HX40 uses fully floating bearings, so pressure thats WAY TOO low will hurt them.

The holsets are known to be practicly bulletproof, but also rebuildable. As long as the journal bearings are fine, you just have to replace the piston seals. Worst-case you need a new CHRA. Since the intended use puts them at far more miles per year, Holset supplies plenty of CHRA's.

Re: My HMT e30
 

Huh? I'm talking about boost pressure man. Not oil pressure. But for an oil feed I'm using -4an hose and fitting with a set screw tapped and threaded into the 4an fitting with a 1/16 hole in it for restriction.

Re: My HMT e30
 

i think some people relate boost pressures to how much oil pressure the turbos gonna want
