N54 RB Ones Arrived

[Torgus]

Shit happens, we all make stupid mistakes!

Six hours of farting around with the little stuff today.

Waiting for that expansion tank blind cap so I can bleed the cooling system down. Hopefully I'll have it in the morning.

Then I can go do a shakedown run on a stock tune.

 

[TheFixer]

Looks like a complete engine again!

 

[TheFixer]

Video or it didn't happen

Congrats man!!!

Get a tune and let her rip!

Here you go.....me needlessly reving a new build just for you.

 

[SLOWESTN54]

Ping it off the limiter for proper break in . Happy it’s back on the road.

Let me drain the coolant and oil first. I don't want to needlessly wear out the fluids.

Never gets old.

Never gets old.

Here's some more......

Shakedown on stock tune. No WOT yet.

 

[TheFixer]

Not sure what's causing it yet but I've got a misfire on #4 cylinder.

Only does it under load. Can sit in park and rev the motor just fine. Only when driving.

Plug, coil or injector.....effing bs

 

[TheFixer]

#4 coil. Cracked boot.

Need to go get another one. Hopefully that's all that's causing the misfire on #4.

 

[TheFixer]

For those running bimmerlife coil mod.

Summit Racing is selling the Denso 673 9302 coils for 20 bucks a piece.

I bought a whole new set for back up.

Here's the first WOT run from a standstill on the custom base tune from @carabuser

 

[SLOWESTN54]

Carabuser is definitely the tuning wizard. Man that car sounds good. Goes fast too.

Thank you. It's finally nice to drive it again after it's been sitting on stands for 10 months.

Certainly does hustle now!

I sent carabuser my logs. I have no idea if he can squeeze more out or if it's good where it's at. I'm definitely impressed by his tuning skills.

How much boost was that pull?

 

[TheFixer]

How much boost was that pull?

I only saw it hitting 20 pounds. I'm not sure if he had more than that dialed in or not.

We're talking now about getting things dialed in.

 

[Jeffman]

Post a log, please!

 

[TheFixer]

Post a log, please!

These are the first logs from the custom base map.

What fuel are you running?

 

[TheFixer]

What fuel are you running?

Just regular 93.

I have a boost leak coming from somewhere now. It got worse the more I drove. So..... now to find it.
