Bmwfixerguy1's actually working on his own car :)

[Bmwfixerguy1]

So Currently the only issue I'm having is too much crank case vacuum when fully warmed up (higher engine vacuum) I am using the Ade pcv delete and factory flapper.

Has anyone successfully drilled the flapper orfice a little larger or is it best to just go to a flapper delete?

Give it a shot and report back

So this past Saturday I installed my RTD race version (no reverse lock out)
WOWWW is all I can say!!! I was pressed for time so I didn't take any pics but my goodness what a difference! Shifts are amazingly crisp and mechanical feeling! The height I though was gonna be a problem when I tried to pretend my old shifter was that high.. well it's just right once you actually lay your palm on it!

30 min before I'm writing this I did a little rip down "rip street" and 1st through 4th I looked like a damn professional! I'll be the first to admit my cars limiting factor is my driving ability.. I'm not like little old Asian lady bad (sorry @doublespaces lol) but I'll be the first one to miss a gear when it counts /lol

If your considering one.. I give it two thumbs up!!!

 

[doublespaces]

No need to be sorry, all the asian women I know can't drive for shit, scare the fuk outta me

So I've been pretty quiet like I think most of us in frigid states because it's too cold to enjoy are cars and too cold to enjoy working on them lol..

Anyways spec 3+/smfw, new guibo, new center support bearing, rear main and all trans seals are gonna go in one of these weekends.. anything over 19lbs and it current 550i clutch slips even with low grip cold weather :/ bitter sweet, sucks I'm rushed to get the new clutch in but awesome that it's making a lotta power on 40% wgdc

Anyways, sorting out the port meth injection via the fuel injector bungs in my sharp Manifold, I'll be using the aquamist OE style nozzle with these banjo connections. The fuel rail will hold the nozzles down by applying pressure to the back of the banjo bolt. Will probably need a sort of spacer to make up the small gap I anticipate from rough measurements. I also sourced some super small M5 crush washers to hopefully make the entire meth system a one and done sealed system! Like NOOOO leaks at allllllllllllll is the plan! EVERRR lol. Also reducing from 100% meth to a 70/30 or so should help as well.

Stay warm fellas will update as the weather warms a bit.. hope you all had a good holiday season as well!

@Bmwfixerguy1 who did you order your RTD shifter from? Ive only been able to find one retailer out of the UK.

I bought mine from a fella on FB that bought it through a group buy. I thought they had a us retailer but I know you can order from them directly.

Seriously buy one. I love it!!! I didn't think I'd like the race but its my favorite part about driving my car now!

@Bmwfixerguy1 Is yours the taller version? If so, any thoughts on the taller one vs the shorter version?

Thanks for your quick review, I definitely want one!

Yes it's the taller one, that's the "race" version. I thought it would be obnoxious and uncomfortable but it's very practical and I dare say the perfect shifter

Doc Race was announced the us distributor last summer on another forum.

That's who it was!!! I couldn't remember!

I emailed @DOC_Race about getting an RTD shifter from them and never heard back. Maybe I’ll try again.

Wanted to add some pics of getting the new direct port meth set up plumbed up and running, still have a 7th nozzle to install in the charge pipe

They are the aquamist IE nozzle they I have 90deg fittings on. I have rubber bushings holding pressure on them with the fuel rail. We will see if she stays leak free. I ran the nozzles only in the manifold with no boost leaks so we are good on that front so far

how far down into the injector port do the meth nozzles sit? are they recessed? flush or protrude into the runner?

They are down far in, it's aquamist's IE nozzle they were designed to work in the VAG port injection manifolds. I'll find a pic for you

It's the last and longest one in the list

ok cool. you're good then. good stuff.

Well I'm not good yet lol, lots of potential leak areas with a bunch of products I've never used yet. Fingers are crossed though, it has the potential to be a real good set up

Hi, did u figure out any problem with the low side crank case vent set up? Reason i ask is because i m planning to do the same as u, but will be using a supra pcv valve between the catch can and manifold connection.

No so far I have not found any problems, I too also installed a Supra pcv metal valve inside the AN orb fitting in the catch can. The boomba valve protects it from boost and the. The valve lays sideways not up and down. Didn't want to insert gravity on it if it wasn't designed that way. So gay so good. I have noticed my afrs are way more steady at cruise speeds.
