Euro 535i LS Turbo Build Thread - 7/10/19 Dyno update

Drove the e28 230 miles round trip today to the old home base in Suffield, CT. Met the old gang for lunch and some new faces as well. Finally ran it to the rev limit in 2nd and 3rd gear. Felt great! Datalogs indicate 40-110 in 7.19 secs with two very slow shifts.

Now I'll have to go run mine and see what it does in the 40-110 pull. I only have to shift once, but I doubt I'll be anywhere near 7 seconds.

That would be cool. I have 35-95 in 6.22 secs with just one shift. My actual run was 35-114, 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear. Took 8.06 secs. Both shifts took 6/10s of a sec. At the track they are typically 2/10s.

I figure 5 or 6 more pulls and the AFRs will be pretty close to the target. Hoping for another 20-30HP. Will need to get to the dyno or dragstrip to tune the timing.

Only thing I have is my fastest 1/4 thus far.

0 - 91.27 MPH in 7.957 seconds

91.27 - 116.09 MPH in 4.254 seconds

89-114 with the granny shift was 2.66

Yep, it will be a low 10 second car for sure.

Low tens is optimistic but we will find out for sure. I think it' should run mid to high 120s.

Remember the twin Turbo Tiger?

He just installed a new SBF engine and a BigStuff 3 fuel injection system. He just posted his new numbers -

"Just got the BS 3 in and it is fantastic, did about 8 Dyno pulls and got 700 rwhp @12 lbs of boost and 23 degrees timing."

His best 1/4 before this was - 9:46 @146.

I will be nowhere near that power level. 500-550rwhp is where the car will end up.

E90 whatever M3 vert.

It's not even fair, picking on new cars in my old e28.

I am so in love with this car again. It was worth all the work.

The kill stories with this car is going to be epic!

Can't wait to see what it does at the drag strip.

i don't think e90 m3s are that fast, i put 2 seconds on one at the last autocross in the blown e30 and i had complete shit for traction, i was drifting the coarse and they had way too many cones for it to be fun, i am about in the middle of the miata fleet normally

It's hard to find a e90 m3 to race for some reason.
Maybe they know they'll get owned after seeing the cooler.

My friend had one, I gave him a 7 car lead at 70mph, blew past him like he was standing still at 150mph.
There not that fast, a C63 or CTSV will blow it away. Todd a Z06 would be a good race.

I think I am right there with the Z06. ZR1 is a little out of my reach at this point.

I know it plugs into a OBD II port, but you can figure it out.

This one is set up to be hardwired.

I didn't want to be a braggart and continue posting kill stories. Drove it 65 miles today to NJ to do a PPO on a 420rwhp CTS-V for a friend. The CTS-V felt SLOW.

Love my e28. Still working on all the small things. No big news to report.

Well except I paced a V10 M5 from 65-XXX. I heard the blat blat blat downshifts and he took off. I left it in 5th gear at 2300rpm and hung about 3 cars behind until the engine finally came on cam and I started to close at a rapid pace.

I was flying by when he let out. I can't say I blame him. It's the fastest mph I have ever seen in an e28. I think this car would accelerate until it took off.

Shadow · Post by **Shadow** » May 10, 2013 6:03 PM

Bad ass.

I raced one of those m5s in the old m20 @ 21 psi
and couldn't pull at all. Just side by side on the freeway.

Fast as fuck.

Had I downshifted to 3rd gear, I would have left it.

T_C_D · Post by **T_C_D** » May 10, 2013 7:54 PM

I am itching big time to take it to the track but I have a lot of stuff going on and cannot afford any e28 failures. It's killing me.

I should put the drag radials on it Sunday and see if it'll hook up in 1st gear.

Duke · Post by **Duke** » May 10, 2013 10:31 PM

Damn, I don't come into the FI section very often but I should apparently! But it was nice because I had a few pages to read through and soak it all in. And watched the video, jeezus.

Duke sometimes you're a troll, but that post made me lol pretty hard.

Yes, I agree, moar updates and stories please. The exterior shots of it on the style 5's a few pages back were...

I have 815 miles on it so far with no mechanical issues. I have a long annoying list of items that still need attention.

Critical items

Tach
Coolant temperature gauge
minor coolant leak
starting issue (hopefully solving today)
ICV (s/b this week)

Not as critical

fancy gauge install
shift light
fan pwm controller
knock sensor programming
plug three holes in firewall

Not critical

stereo upgrade
cruise control

I did install a stiffer WG spring to compensate for the rising temperatures and ended up with 8.5psi yesterday.

It is all smiles so far.
