Sweet! I've read your build over on bimmerforums.com but at the time every pic related to megasquirt wasn't working

ahh... just as good the second time. This was definitely an awesome project post that was lost in the crash. Thanks for bringing it back.

WTF

really nice. i've been planning a bmw turbo for a bit. is the M50 the 2.5L in the 325's too? or somethin bigger

hows it runnin with the megasquirt? why did you have to mod it for bmw ignition?

robus

beautiful. So you're running a H1E on a 2.5 liter engine, how is the powerband??

Nice work!

Looks like a really clean and well done setup.

How much power are you making? How much boost?

In first gear I get the push of boost around 5k rpm, 2nd gear around 4k, 3rd is like 3700, 4th is around 3500, and 5th gear at 75 mph if I floor it, at 3k, th car pulls fine until about 3300 rpm when the torque comes in and the revs fly up as the clutch lets go. So, in 5th, I am seeing full 10 psi at 3500 rpm or so. Its a laggy setup with peak power in mind, not so much "linear pull." The car is very fast and violent - pretty fun and intimidating to drive.


As for power - I won't know until I hit the rollers. My tune is pretty modest, but I will hit it up on the dyno. I need to get a clutch in her first. That's coming soon.

I guess I have two questions.

1. Where did you get the ford/bosch 42# injectors?

2. Why did you go with a tiny *** sidemount lookin cooler when you went all out on everything else?
