would've loved to but my car is legendary jokes when it comes to running reliably!
H/G just let go (tues), overheated with an air lock (no heat out of dash) & white smoke pouring out my tailpipe

i'd be mad, but turboready will be shoving in a Ringed m42, head with 3 angle valve job, with megasquirt
car is already there.

What kind of boost were you running? Did you have a wideband?

Just trying to figure out why you'd push a HG since I thought you were running about 8psi. It all comes down to cylinder pressure (too much spark advance) or EGT (lean fuel).

Megasquirt should fix that all up though!

[ecuconnection]

He was on stock ign timing and at 10psi I had to start pulling timing so I'm going to guess he was spiking over 10

[everlast]

Yet stock timing at 10psi = bad. Rule of thumb is you'd need about 10 degrees of retard. It would need to be carefully tuned at that range.

What octane of fuel do you guys run? I always run 93 Stinson's (excellent) or Sunoco Ultra 94.

Crap. I gotta help someone move that day. I'd love to go at least once with the E39...

luckly I got my hands on the dinan NA tune to compare and made things alot easyer when tuning ... at 17psi I'm at 15degs for best power

on the stock h/g's (been through 2 now) i was running upto 12lbs. spiking upto 17+ or so the max saved reading on the gauge said then afte 5K usage my 2nd factory h/g went, then D.bag in qc had my car 7months (I feel i was the victim of fraud). then striker was within 1K was fixing coolant & boost/vacume leaks, some loose interior seal inside my head (visible from oil filler opening) type work/slash non work.

also had to deal with stripped valve cover screws courtesy of mr D.bag.
its amazing i got this far

and yeah when you machine down the top of a block beside the pistons & ring them with bronze or copper is that 'ringing' or 'sleaving' ?

[ecuconnection]
