Great success at Cadwell last week on the replacement engine 👍

It's a good level on both base (wastegate) and 7-8psi, I've added flex fuel over winter so I can run a blended fuel, but ran out of time to get back to the dyno to tune that before the above. My plan this year was to concentrate on the set up more, as it had been good for 6 days in the back half...

Well DET killed it, due to oil ingestion, but also an issue with knock control (which would have prevented it). It's a long story and probably easier to explain at Cadwell in July if you're interested! Spare engine is built up and ready to go in this weekend 👌 Before Oulton, I got it on...

2026 started well 🤡

Venue won me over... also ties in nicely with being on CS for 20 years! 👌

No idea why they went as attachments and didn't insert 🤦‍♂️

This thread is ahead of what I've managed to write up so far anyway. Handy it can all be dropped out as a complete setup, few niggles resolved and going back together for 2026 💨

I know who the OGs are 😉 Mad that thread has over a million views now.

Done 3x days with the turbo now. These were the most recent two. Been mainly running it on 3psi as its a good match with the E46 (well I keep going past ~6000rpm), with 7-8psi on the button if I want it. Have made more changes, just two more days left this year, but all seems well at the...

Ill probably upload a clip this week 👍 Stock it did 242hp, esentially the book figure for the engine. Then as above, here is stock vs 4psi, albeit with 50C, intake air temperature. Since spent the past two weeks putting together a big cooling system for the charge cooler, with two more...

Mapping happened Track day happened Everythings been hot Changes have taken place - now for a couple more days over the next few weeks 🏁
