Finally drivable tuned! ...moved on to EPS

So I finished the idle and part throttle tune for it to be street able. I'm very impressed how nice it drives and sounds day and night from my other setup and its not even tuned yet. It was very worth it I love the low end torque .

So I had to order a new Alternator as mine is dying I had to replace it anyways with a higher amp rated one to accomodate my EPS. So I found a highly reputable company BNR for 120$ I get a nice rebuilt shiny 130AMP BOSCH replacement much better then my old 70AMP one since the EPS takes about 50A when turning.





Got the rack side done, with JIC fittings custom made 4 feet hose rated for 3200 PSI (I need 1500PSI) but better to be safe then sorry. Got the 80AMP relay all wired up and ready just need to tap in the radio 12V acc and also weld a braket to hold the pump in place got buy some ATF fluid..

So EPS install,.,,then when I receive my alternator I will install it along with my new 7" crank pulley cant wait for this because right after I will be going to Julien performance to tune it on the dyno and bring back some number for you all.

oh and here is a nice shot to show you my dedicated belt setup to all the aspiring roots type M20 guys...

Grand prix and throttle body relocation and Electric PS

Long time no updates...finally all moved in but I could not resist in going to see my friend Arek from www.8legsracing.com race at the trois riviere grand prix.


Here is is posing with my 12 year old Nicolas, it was his first time at the races he loved it.
Pic of me and my son in front of yet another very cool and powerfull BMW  at the grand prix.

So I decided on these little mini project on my car to make it a better street machine.

-Sound proofing I made a custom sound blanket (removable) and added insulation on the hood and inside the dash.
-Also relocating my throttle body to make it the way a roots type is really suppose to work (I had issues with drivability and with 10-12 PSI no way a BOV or multiple BOV would work....plus the sound is way too much) so this decrease the sound by a LOT and with no BOV drivability will be much better. Its a lot more work but much worth it.




And here you can see the location of my electric PS with the high and low pressure attached (just have to make a mount for it)

After I finish these 2 mini project I will install my big custom 7" pulley and look for a 6 rib belt and then am off to the drags (my goal is 2 weeks) then let the fun begin :)
