I'll post the other videos I'm uploading right now.
i need to see AFRs @ wide open throttle @ redline to make an evaluation, for idle what your seeing is bang on :-)

@ WOT you want 11.3.11.8ish for a nice safe fantastic running car with lots of safety margin.......

anything under 11 is too rich, anythink over 12.5 is imo to lean... our engine do make good power in the 12s but i like the leway mid 11s gives you.

I'm uploading the video now but what I saw while running to a full throttle minimum went to 11.7-12.2 almost.

let me tell you an issue I faced last week while testing the car. car was DSC on second gear I pushed the throttle all the way down and DSC was activating to the red line becoz the car is snipping in second alot. that moment one of the coils fail I drove it about 2km going home to check what really happened and without any sign the coil works!!! alot of thinks I'll be checking.

iron, The car is running perfectly...... AFRs are bang on........ dont worry about them skipping and jumping around on the way up the rev range, your looking for that last number @ the last few drops of revs, i saw a high 11 which is bang on, right in the right range and still with safety left on the table.......

the car looks FAST...... Breaking loose like that in 2nd gear at the TOP of the rev range is serious!!! i can FEEL the TQ..... thats where these ASA blowers kick ass TQ rich mofos..... very very nice!!

Re your other issue, i dont think you have a bad coil, once they go bad they are always Bad, maybe you fitted one incorrectly as i noticed g power supplied a new set of spark plugs.....

I'll tape that issue on video to make it clear for ya. I had the issue again today after I made the 300km. the time I lift my foot off the Gas it turn into a car have to be tuned again I switch it off for a while and then switch on again running perfect donno what is exactly . I must get a solution for this issue will tell G-Power about it. Actually, G-Power sent for us a form to fill it for any issue we are facing. we will test the other car and we will make comparison. Dyno runs probably will make them after 2 weeks I have alot of work to do. will update you guys of all what is new

A cold start video if you could listen carefully or use a headphone you may hear some miss firing. when it's so cold you can hear it very well I'll make another video to make it clear.

we checked the coils today using a ammeter and found that they are alright. we'll get contact with G-Power to solve this issue. In the Other hand the car is a full monster

I think that what I'm facing is tuning maybe. guys did you change your car fuel filter when you've got your cars supercharged. HPF car always face a troubles cozed by fuel filter. My car now has 26k KM and I never changed it .

Another thing did anybody use the Water/methanol injection kit. any experience? I could remember one of the Z's had that kit.

im still on the orginal pump and filter but my car only has 10k miles.... when the filter needs changing, im going to swapout to a high flow pump as well....

You cant run meth/water injection on your car as you need an air to Air intercooler..... you for you'd have to plumb it directly to your intake manifold which would mean youd need completely new Meth injection tune which is a completely different game......

see my thread on meth injection :-) us ESS guys are using water/meth injection and seeing HUGE gains, one guy got 485 WHEEL horspower!! thats over 550 @ the crank!!! serious gains.....

which high flow pump you will get? I got tired looking for a high performance pump. yeh that a huge gain really. actually my question was do I have to get the car tuned again? or it's just like the NOS setup? I checked AEM Kit and there was something called also Water/Methanol FAILSAFE Device. That made me afraid I dont like this kind of things but it really make a gain.

well as HPF are now doing turbo kits for our cars and are making 600whp minium and they have a complete drop in fuel pump, i think they use walbro? or bosch 044? drop them an email and report back ;-)

to get the car tuned again, youd need to to either send the ecu back or get it to a Roling road to do a live tune, they will hook up numerous sensors and iron out any issues.... im sure G-power will hook you up, thats the only problem with OUR cars, if something goes wrong, its an asswipe to get sorted......

Does the M3 have the same fuel pump as our cars? the only trouble now if we are facing an issue it's really hard to get it fixed by G-Power. I really like the inside rolling tuning ( Live Tune ) but now our situation we have to solve our issues by our selves.

Today we checked the car using our DIS it's BMW diagnose tool. actually so many faults we saw and we clear them up. I had a miss fire in cylinder #5 and mixture fault in some of the cylinders. I'm going to make a full report to send it for G-Power. here is some of the pic's I took a fast ones.

DSC_00122 by Saihati Shabiboo, on Flickr

This is what we saw probably something wrong in cylinder #4.

In fact, I have no idea what that is.

omg...... welcome to the world of FI on a car that was never meant to be FI, id clear the codes and see what comes back............

that is ALOT of differing info and i think you need to talk with g-power... they will sort these issues.... but as your car ran fine before the kit its definatly tune related....... funny thing is your not getting a CEL???

Re the pumps i believe they are the same as the e46 m3.... or at least the intank section is which is the bit were changing.....

your garage is awesome!! so jealous of that space.
