Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
I've sent you a bin with a change from Tom, possibly fixing this limit issue. God Speed

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
Thanks Jamie, Andy please keep to a conservatie throttle max for now, we want to see if the IDC levels off as quick now. Should theoretically not be the case so the torque will carry on for longer.

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
Too late bloody awesome
After these 2 runs I floored it and span the wheels half way up the road, my neighbours are so pissed most of the juddering has gone I feel a lot of what's left may be the backlash in my diff I'm not sure it will last much longer with that torque

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
Now thats more then double the current draw, and no flat point insight on the current draw. Better get the car ready for some higher speed acceleration tests.

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
In all seriousness I really need to change the diff before it disintegrates, it sounds bad

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
Be great if you could get the car sorted now you know she is dangerous. Then you can do on the move acceleration tests as those are more interesting from a performance point of view.andybpowell wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2024 2:04 pm the damn thing just took of like a bat out of hell I can't wait to do some real testing that was a real shove in the back

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
That would be foolish as I'd have to get it home from wherever it decided to die I'll leave that sort of thing to someone silly enough to get trapped under his own bonnet do you know anyone like that ?

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
having major hassle trying to get a diff with a better ratio, current is 3.45 best straight swap I can get is a 3.38 not a massive improvment but I want to get on as my mot is due in 6 weeks so I'm probably going to do it anyway

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
The internet says that the diff is the same as in the E36 compact, which should be available (somewhat) plentiful. At least compared to Z3 differentials.
The compact had 3.07 and 3.23 in the 323ti and 323tiA (which stands for Automatic I guess?): http://www.e36racing.de/differenzial.php

Re: [WIP] BMW Z3
Many thanks Guys for all this info. Is so good to see this active experiment in action. These Transmission seem to have lots of potential, on paper before, but this is realizm. Well done..
Am still seeking a 300H inverter, as my attempts with the Prius zvw30 inverter could be needing this solution..
