Nonetheless even if those numbers are close, that's awesome. Gotta be a damn fun car.

Totally!!

It's not that far off, since in its current config it put down 460 on the Dyno Dynamics, but yeah every car I've ever dynoed has been on Toma or Vex's DD so that's what my brain/butt is calibrated for haha. First time strapping one to a DynoJet.

[90_Shelby]

Nice numbers. This is the same setup and tune that you had when you ran at the track?

[Sentry]

Exact same. Car hasn't changed power wise since July when I did the FMIC.

Mid season update:

Installed a Walbro 450LPH fuel pump and a fresh filter, no pics of that did it in a hurry one night.

Installed an Innovate wideband/boost gauge in the factory fog lamp switch spot.


Installed a CSF triple pass radiator, car has been running a bit hot since installing the intercooler in front of the rad.


I have the next size pulley and belt sitting here but have been chipping away at some supporting mods first. I may install it in the next week or two and see how the car likes it.

[90_Shelby]

What other supporting mods are you adding before another pulley swap? Once it’s tuned and before the end of summer i’d still like to check this car out and run it with my wagon! I really like this M5!

[Sentry]

Heck yeah I'll run ya. Ideally I'd need injectors, but I think with my car being intercooled (pressure drop + cooler charge) and at Calgary elevation (pressure drop) I can get away with the injectors that came with the kit. I'm gonna put the pulley on Friday with a can of octane booster in the tank and see what AFRs are.

[eglove]

Saw you on stoney/crowchild yesterday. Car looks great! One of your halos is flickering btw

[Sentry]

Yeah they're crap aftermarket lights but they were free and they look good when it's parked.

Some nice refurbed OEM ones are on my wishlist.

[Sentry]

Met up with 90_Shelby last night and did some pulls with his auto Vagon, both cars are extremely close.


This morning I got the correct belt for my 88mm pulley and installed it, they're always a bit of a cunt with a fresh belt but easier once it's worn in a bit and stretched. If the belt just just just barely fits and afterwards you feel like you've been in a fight, it's the correct size.


Did some test pulls and unfortunately it runs too lean above 6000 for my liking, so I swapped back to the 92mm pulley for now until I get some injectors for the car and a tune.


I've got a nice little collection of these now. Might sell the 96mm pulley since that's never going back on.

[Sentry]

Got some larger injectors for the M5 so tossed them in and changed to 88mm pulley. Car seems to like it. I wanna strap it to a dyno or race it down a track and hopefully quantify how much quicker it is.

Won't be doing a hero run on slicks at castrol this year as I've got to beef up the rear subframe and find better wheel studs before doing that again. Hopefully 11s when the time comes.

Out with the old



In with the new


You may see these white injectors again in a future episode of "I can't stop boosting things"

[Sentry]

Time to put it away for winter... but first:

[Sentry]

Time to take it out for summer, but first:


Did new rear tires and a little maintenance this weekend, took it for a little rip through the city to charge up the battery and get that oil flowing again.

[90_Shelby]

Love it!

Love it!

+1!!!

I've had a lot of fun with this car but I think it's time to sell and build something else. Any takers? Fire me a PM. Season end special $22,000.

When it snows, this will stay in the garage til spring and I'll drive it a bit more and do a bit more maintenance and ask a little more maybe in July or August.

[ExtraSlow]

Trade for my Silverado plus my fit. Give or take a case or two of cheap beer?

[Sentry]

Are they fully loaded?

[ExtraSlow]

1/2 of them are, the other 1/2 is 100% savage.

How many kms, and any accident history?
