I went back through the wires and found 3 wires cut, 2 for the intake cam sensor and 1 for the pcv sensor. I crimped them but no change. Not sure if crimping those wires would actually be good enough.
I've looked for physical damage to wires and can't find anything. When I unplug Con4 of the BDC the symptoms stop (flashing dash lights, headlights, fuel pump running, vehicle won't turn off) but I still can't connect to the DME, also, the symptoms stop when I unplug any one of the DME...
After doing some extensive engine work and having the battery disconnected I'm having an electrical issues for the past couple days
Battery was disconnected for about two months
Symptoms
Car wakes immediately when battery is connected
Dash lights flicker
Headlights repeatedly self-level /...
I think what youre showing is coolant drops after a gear change. I'm talking about about a single gear pull between 2500-6500. I went back through about 20 logs prior to the install and didn't see drops in coolant temp during a pull.
I went back through all my logs from prior and never saw a drop in coolant temperature, compared to after the install and seeing as high as around 17 degrees drop and doing multiple pulls in a row seeing drops consistantly around 10 degrees.
I'd be happy to attach a lot here if it allowed files.
I found a guy local to me saling the Koyorad aux radiators for $200, so I figured why not. Effect I saw was coolant temperature dropping about 10° during 4th and 5th gear 2500-6500rpm pulls.
I also have the do88 HE and see very little IAT rise now (1-5°, off the top of my head) during the same...
I'm going to remove the pistons and measure them and the cylinder to check clearance and do the honing. Luckily I haven't put the oil pan back on or the head.
I think these are a little more than just a off the shelf kit, they're specific to the Supra. I'm not so sure BMW is so picky when...
It's about 80 grams more per piston/ rod assembly. I was able to get the new pistons exactly balanced though. I haven't heard anyone with a built 558 talk about shaking. But if the engine explodes, I'll be sure to let everyone know
I might have jumped the gun, but I am currently on the reinstall steps, i've installed the pistons and rods and will get to the oil pump and oil pan next.
I've been taking it very slow and ensuring I research everything before I go into the next step. I've put well over 25 hours of work into it...
This is only for the brave (and if you're like me the desperate and dumb 😂)
You don't have to remove the engine or subframe to install forged internals.
This all started with the oil cap breather I installed. It didn't cause the issue but it masked it.
The issue I had was a cracked valve...
