    Thomas and Steve have seen my 02. I think I went to an open house at their place during a local BMWCCA swap meet several years ago.
  4. kpolito99
    I know Thomas and have been to C&C once or twice. I prefer to do all my own work. Not sure if they have invested in a dyno yet, but I have no use for shops that don't have an eddy current dyno which can be used to properly map a standalone EFI system. I've done a little tuning at Sam's place Coastal Chassis dyno in Brandon and lately have been working with Jason and Heritage Motor Research in St Pete. Jason has a very nice facility and tunes some very exotic racing cars in addition to doing machine work and restoring vintage Porsches. Jason has a lot of experience with MoTeC and most likely I will be doing all the low-mid throttle mapping and will bolt up to HMC's dyno for the high load tuning. Take care, Kurt

    Thanks Ray. Man I bet your 73 is a blast to slide around the streets with the 2.5 liter S14 under the hood? -later

    While waiting for the slow cure JB Weld to setup last night I also cleaned and prepped the oil sump for installation. Not too exciting but the engine is coming together nicely and I should be getting around to installing her in the chassis this fall.
  7. kpolito99
    MoTeC recommends setting the gap between the magnet and sensor to somewhere in the range of .030" and .060". After I prime the timing chain tensioner it should be relatively easy to slip a feeler gage into the gap and tighten the cam sensor to the cover using the jam nut which is positioned on the sensor body inside the cover. I thought this would be a lot tougher to setup, but as with most things if you think them through long enough an eloquent solution surfaces.
  8. kpolito99
    Finished the installation of the cam sensor mount on the timing chain upper cover. The fixture I fabricated worked perfectly and has held the internally threaded AN-6 fitting in precise alignment with the threaded hole location I added to the face of the camshaft sprocket.

    Yes, Greyhound will work. I have shipped front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts from an e46 3-series all the way across the country. Greyhound can basically handle a container the size of a refridgerator 30"x30"x80" in the cargo hold. I simply forgot because I had not used GH in a while. Let me know when someone is ready to purchase and I will find boxes to crate these bad boys up! -later

    well the interior on my car is black, if i am able to buy these ones i would possibly be interested in trading for your black set. My Black ones need new centers. I would be up for a trade of some sort if you like. Tan would look great in my car! Also it;s 40 bucks to ship recaros on greyhound. Thanks for reminding me about Greyhound. I used to use the bus all the time for shipping big stuff and completely forgot because numerous buyers did not live near a terminal and were not interested in doing a pickup. Why don't you to work this out and swap center sections or something. A black and tan combination might look really cool in your respective cars. Thanks again for all the interest.

    Where are you located in Orlando? I grew up in Maitland and just dragged the seats over to Tampa about 1 month ago while cleaning out my father's attic. My father purchased these from a buddy of mine who used them for a few years and then re-installed his stock seats when he sold his bimmer. These were installed in a Toyota pickup and when my father sold his truck these went in his attic where they have sat for a while. While looking for something I stumbled upon them not long ago and offered to sell them for him. If you get serious about purchasing the seats let me know and I can bring them back to Orlando on my next visit to my father's place.

    Guys - Shipping the seats is not practical unless we go freight and that seems like a PITA. Last time I shipped a 5 speed conversion to someone it was a hassle. The best I can offer is $200 delivered to the airport nearest to you. I fly a ton with Delta and I get a price break on shipping over-weight and/or over-sized containers. Normal fee would be $200/each seat but it is reduced to $100/each seat because of my frequent flyer status. I am scheduled to be in Wichita middle of next month and often visit Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle and Boston for business. On my way to SEATAC I have passed through Salt Lake City a few times. Let me know if anyone is interested in purchasing at $600 delivered to your airport. The only caveat is that your airport needs to be a city I visit for business or pleasure. If you live somewhere exciting line Vegas give me a reason to visit. The wife and I were talking about hitting Vegas for her birthday in early December. Thanks for the interest!

    My wife is the coolest and unlike my ex-wife actually seems like she wants me to happy. I am building my engine in the the air conditioned comfort of our closet under the stairs. It is so frigging hot in the garage I cannot stand it. Basically provided the engine is out of sight it is out of mind to her. I built a drip pan under my engine stand and keep a plastic bag over the engine to help contain the oil, assembly lube and assorted other smells. Every evening after my wife an daughter go to sleep if I do not have any work related emergencies to resolve I roll out my mistress and spend a few quality hours wrenching before I go to bed. About 7 years ago I converted this closet into a playroom for my then 3 year old daughter (sorta Harry Potter like space). Now my Blue Weimaraner has inherited the space and keeps watch over my creation 24/7. I know, I know the border and paint color are kind of fruity. My sister helped pick the colors to decorate for my daughter's playroom when I originally built it and since she moved out I have not gotten around to repainting yet.

    More pics of the cam sensor mount install.
  16. kpolito99
    Last night I made some excellent progress on fitting the cam sensor to the upper timing cover. First I aligned the crank at TDC after having properly timed the camshaft. Next I measured 120 degrees before TDC and rolled the camshaft back to that position. I fabricated a transfer punch post that threaded into the hole previously drilled and tapped into the camshaft sprocket. I used some double sided adhesive foam tape to shim the cover off the head. I installed six long bolts through the timing cover to enable me to easily raise and lower the cover off the cylinder head to check punch height and not completely lose the alignment. The compressive nature of the foam tape allowed the cover to move onto the punch with a slight blow from the rubber mallet. I drilled through the upper cover to make a clearance hole for an AN-6 fitting. Next I drilled out the AN-6 fitting and tapped it for 3/8-24 thread. Same dia and pitch as the MoTeC cam sensor. I had to fabricate a 1/4-20 to 3/8-24 coupler so that I could precisely locate and hold the AN fitting in the proper location while I JB weld it to the timing chain upper cover. More pics after I bond everything together. Taking the AN-fitting to a friends machine shop this afternoon to spot face some material away in order to provide clearance for a jam nut.

    You asked for close ups of the VAC trigger wheel. found some and took a couple more new shots tonight.
  18. kpolito99
    I tell ya shipping companies are getting too damn expensive. It is often cheaper to pay the airlines over-sized/over-weight container penalty and lug items to the airport if you are headed in the same direction as a package that needs to be shipped.
  19. kpolito99
    Thanks - I will weigh the seats alone and with pallet and estimate with the usual companies, FedEX, UPS and Old Dominion. How far are you from Salt Lake City Airport? As I told the last prospect if we make a deal it might be cheapest for me to transport on a flight as checked baggage and bring to the airport.
  20. kpolito99
    Can you provide a City and State as well. Not sure if all the shipping companies will estimate shipping using only a zip code. Would the seats be shipping to a residential or commercial address?
  21. kpolito99
    Not to worry. If you really wanted these I could potentially bring them to you the next time I am required to visit Boeing in Seattle. Are you located far from SEATAC?

    Thus far my driveline has been okay. I installed a Quaife in an E21 diff housing many years ago with larger inboard CV joints and all has been fine running around on 300 HP. I have met and like Curtis. He is passionate about cars and motorbikes. Not intending to sound disrespectful but after seeing how Curtis drives it is no wonder that he breaks stuff on a regular basis. You cannot triple the power output from the engine of a production vehicle and expect the driveline components to hold up when you step off the clutch at high rpm! I am sorry, but that is just a recipe for disaster. If anyone intends to dump there clutch just to spin their tires and that is your thing, cool! Have fun but you need to seriously overbuild everything in between the flywheel and the tires. Truth of the matter is that I have read about owners taking their stock BMWs to the track (e46 M3s) and shearing splines on their axles. BMWs are sophisticated cars by design that are road vehicles not drag racing machines. I live in Tampa, FL and I have been tinkering with my 2002 since 1983. over the past 28 years I have upgraded from big side drafts, high duration cam and racing headers to standalone EFI, supercharging and finally turbocharging. Each step of the way I have exceeded the design limitations of assorted components and had to engineer improvements.

    I am using the VAC mount and trigger wheel. I fancied it better than the conventional press on and welded ring. I will rotate the engine and capture some better images after I button up the upper timing cover. At the moment I don't want any assy lube to get onto the top of the cylinder head gasket and potentially contaminate the seal. For the moment I am planning to utilize the factory remainder of the factory chain tensioning components. I have not experienced and tensioner issues in the past. Thanks for the compliments. This motor should be pretty strong. The 2.23 liter versions I have built previously were pretty fun. I hope that I do not start to break driveline components.

    Found some time to install the cylinder head and degree the camshaft. Also completed the sensor mount for the crank ref signal. Having some tooling fabricated to position the sync sensor in the upper timing cover. Installed the distributor blank off plug from 02 Again. They make nice parts and the EDIS sensor mount was easily modified to hold an OEM BMW pulse generator.
