this video is fucking rediculous YouTube - E30 Turbo

Yeah you're right...it's running REALLY rich. And I love all the back firing.

gotKRAUT · 12-13-2006, 05:44 PM

its not backfiring its called launch control, it randomly cuts fuel and spark to keep the RPMs at a specific place for launching, then when the clutch is engaged it stops...

not that impressed i have seen many better turbo E30s, such as Limmit, the Euro S50B32 swapped massive turbo'd E30

more info and vids here http://www.limmet.se/

click filmer for videos

BTW we have a video vault FYI

Yeah, that's called a backfire. And it's backfiring while going at speed. And while it was already burning out. Backfire. Obviously in need of tuning including all the black smoke coming fronm the exhaust.

gotKRAUT · 12-13-2006, 06:09 PM

um you must have been watching a different video....i did not see any inappropriate back firing there..

joshh · 12-13-2006, 06:52 PM

Really, look at the car toward the end. Tell me that isn't a backfire as he's spinning out....
And he is backfiring after he goes by a couple times. And not your average off throttle backfire.

I see nothing of what you speak.

2:21...that is a backfire and you can see it as well.

Cool looking, it seems someone has more money than sense though. It is running WAY too rich, that kind of black smoke is not right. Maybe from a diesel.... You can hear the rev limiter topping out all through the clip, he is over fueling like crazy you can tell from the cutting out it does at lower rpms. And I'm sorry, it did backfire rather harshly in the beginning of the clip.

Now this is a better setup: YouTube - Limmets Bmw e30 pulling 999.99@wheels

P.S. 1129 hk (kilowatt hours) to hp (hk X 1.34 = 1512.86 HP)

LOL my NA car with no cats, resonators and exhaust will backfire when i hit the rev limiter too LOL

joshh · 12-14-2006, 12:38 PM

The car needs some tuning is all I'm saying. Back fire or not. It still looks way faster than my car....

gotKRAUT · 12-14-2006, 01:32 PM

well put

From the onboard part of the vid the car sounded fine. They may have set it up to run a little rich, thats why there is so much smoke. But running rich is playing it safe, its how I'd set the car up for regular use.

joshh · 12-14-2006, 04:37 PM

I can agree with that for the most part. Just looks like a lot more than I've even seen from a turboed street car.

True but they may be after consistent usable power and not max HP.
