Yes... but if I had to do it again, i'd get a 220, get a gotham reflash and a mohawk roof...

And make sure you get LSD... they suck w/o it...

Cool, thanks for the info. I'm new to the Lotus scene, so any tips are appreciated.
Off to do more research now, lol.

Good luck finalizing the E30!

irritatedmax · 04-09-2010, 07:42 PM

Both cars look great.

I thought E30's were small, but, in those pics, it looks like it dwarfs the lotus.

Wow that sounds and looks incredibly good.

How happy are you to drive it finally? Like, "hey I just found a quarter", or "I just got blown from every Prom Queen in the Tri-state area" happy?

rc1honda · 04-19-2010, 10:16 AM

Congrats. It deserves the attention it's getting. I'm sure that will be just the start. After you turn the boost up im sure it will be getting even more attention. Great job. Awesome car. Don't forget to come back with dyno sheets when the boost goes to 30psi. Also whenever you get any perfomance numbers make sure to post them.

I saw that posting, and thought 'RB26 into a 325?' That sounds familiar... Then saw that the link didn't go to Zilvia, and the car was bright yellow. I didn't remember your car being yellow so I just thought 'meh, I'll find the thread on Zilvia, because the name sounds familiar'.

Congrats!

PS. That onyxsyndicate link doesn't work at all.

S13SILVIA|E46M3 · 04-19-2010, 11:59 PM

Wow, just amazing. Finally vids of the beast. Sounds and looks unbelievable, great job! When this comes out in a Mag, I'm buying 2, one to treasure forever, one to use

kuppler8 · 04-24-2010, 06:38 PM

so happy this is finally done ctn, made those long nights worth it!

ctnewman · 04-25-2010, 08:40 AM

I'm just gonna make this easier on my by quoting what my friend posted in his blog:

Quote:

Originally Posted by Inn-Tune

I've missed a few days of blog posts but wanted to get something up about Newman's Skyline GT-R powered BMW which I tuned for more boost today on 93 octane pump gas.

After checking to make sure the car was running as I left it, I started bringing the wastegate duty cycle up until the boost went over the 8 psi wastegate spring pressure. As the boost started to go up it was clear that I would be able to achieve Neman's goal of 450 whp on 93 octane with no external injection.

Here's a graph showing some of the pulls during the tuning process. I've chosen these ones since they're close to the boost levels we decided on for the boost by gear setup I've calibrated via the ViPec standalone ECU.

After the pull to 449 whp shown above Newman and I decided we had to go a bit further to break the 450 whp barrier. I knew there was a good amount of room left to grow so I bumped the boost up a bit and made a small timing adjustment which resulted in a pull that I aborted because the car spun the tires hard on the dyno.

After adding some weight to the trunk and adding some volunteer "passengers", we were able to get a pull in with less wheelspin. You can still see when it spins going into boost in the following video:

high quality vimeo video:
Skyline GT-R Powered E30 BMW 495 whp pump gas dyno! on Vimeo

low quality youtube video:
YouTube - InnovativeTuning's Channel

And here's the graph of the high pull in the video:

After dyno tuning was complete, I set up gear calculation and then boost by gear which is now set to provide 12 psi in 1st and 2nd gear, 16 ish in 3rd gear, 22 ish in 4th and a little more in 5th gear. In the future if Newman adds a wheel speed sensor on a non driven wheel I can set up active traction control for him uses % slip calculation based response to get the most performance out of the available traction.

hailandkill · 04-25-2010, 04:09 PM

son of a bitch that shit sounds amazing.

congrats on getting it done.

do you go to any meets in ny?

ctnewman · 04-25-2010, 07:08 PM

Um, not sure what meets I'll be attending, possibly blown euros in philly...
