When your rolling shell wears coax mounts and xidas.

 

Time to start doing some neck strengthening in the gym!!! Good luck- will be fun to watch this build.

 

Tire stagger because I think 275 will be enough for the front. Maybe I'm wrong, we'll see. 295 rear because 500whp
OSG box because the Quaife doesn't have the torque capacity. We also have a relationship with OSG that makes implementing their OS7 more feasible. And 7 speeds are cooler than 6
Current plan is the same AMP EFI Ultimate box we're using in Vegas

 

Question, will you be doing anything to run some sort of ABS on this space-ship you're building?

 

Reverse thrusters.

 

Can't hide money...

 

OEM NB2 ABS with a manual on/off switch like we have done before

 

Off with dry/smooth surfaces, On with wet or super rough surfaces?

 

Varies. No set pattern. I just like the option. In w2w I used ABS for the first lap then disabled once I got clear of traffic.

 

With the new NASA allowance for a Teves MK60 (E46 M3) system in any chassis for ST4, I've been semi-considering adding a system to Rover.

 

aha! This is what I was thinking of, but couldn't remember the name or where it was referenced from. I've heard from a couple of good BMW drivers that the Teves MK60 system is great in terms of engagement and modulation, think S2000-like ABS.

 

It is supposedly very, very similar in function and performance to a Bosch M4 motorsport ABS system at approximately 15% of the cost all-in.

 

Even in a stock map (non csl/Motorsport) it is amazing. Very little intrusion and fast.

You can run the z4 one with the integrated brake pressure so it’s even less to do. Can get pumps all day for a couple hundred bucks.

@emilio does the ms3 have native DBW control and gearbox control?

 

Its currently in testing. He may have some insight that others don't. The latest alpha has provisions for it, but it requires unreleased external hardware.

 

MS3Pro does so I assume the Ultimate, one step above, does also.

 

They all run the same processor, same firmware, etc. Just different input/output configurations. Currently there is no "plug and play" DBW support. An external controller is needed to translate commands from the megasquirt to the throttle body, and to reject bad commands and unsafe commands.

 

Does Megasquirt based DBW creep anyone else out?

 

No, I've been waiting for it for like half a decade.

Haltech Elite 1500 and 2500 have full DBW control, and the 1500 is only $100 more than an MS3 Ultimate. Google says they can do gearbox control also but I don't know anything about that.
