Good stuff drew the car has been challenging but fun to be involved with. Now we need to get our in-house VT3+ build done and see how they compare

M&M · 12-13-2013, 03:18 PM

Drew, great work & awesome write-up. You sir, are a pioneer in this field & a gentlemen. Thanks for all your assistance, your attitude & willingness to help speaks volumes for your character. Hope to meet you someday when I come to the US again.

JEllis · 12-13-2013, 05:38 PM

Random question, are you running a catch can? I have seen some blow by on my 550. I can only imagine what the blow by is like on the higher boost builds.

Thanks Sherwin, that means a lot coming from you brother, the feeling is mutual! Can't wait to see what you do with your setup.

I'm not running one, but have thought about installing a CC, so far blow by is not that bad at all.

Update:

I replaced all 8 ignition coils, big thanks to Tom at EAS for getting them to me right away and at a great price. Unlike the E46 M3 I haven't read or heard about that many issues with coilpacks on the S65 so I didn't replace the one coil pack that had recently been somewhat submerged in oil leaking from the spark plug tube gasket, which I posted about earlier in this thread. However, after further inspection it still had some oil slowly oozing out of it and I was still getting a few misfires at times so this was the likely culprit. Now with the new coilpacks, it hit 709WHP at the EAS dyno day yesterday and made 700 or more on back to back runs. I'll post those results soon. Many of you may already know this but I thought I'd post anyway, BMW did somewhat change the design on the Coilpacks, not sure if the old design was creating some potential issue, but doubtful based on the small differences.

The one on the left is the new design.

You can feel it, it's a hesitation or slight sputter.
