I'd guess that a few inches of water column is insignificant. A foot of water is about 1 psi. If you have more than a foot of water it is time to think about improvements. Check several places so see which part contributes the most, air filter, inlet trumpet, connecting hose, etc. Make sure the pressure probe is perpendicular to the air flow, otherwise flow inertia will affect the readings (think pitot tube). You will see maximum vacuum at your peak hp rpm. While you're at it, measure your exhaust backpressure. There, 1 to 2 psi is pretty good. Above 3 to 4 is time to improve.

Its basically the Saab Trionic system from 1990 or so. When there is knock in the cylinder conductive ions are formed. The spark plug is used as a sensor. About 80 VDC is placed across the plug right after ignition and the current flow is monitored. When there is knock, current flows across the plug gap.

This means more than turning it off, because there is an "always hot" lead to the battery to keep the radio memory "alive" as well as the "code". You have to either unplug all power to the radio by pulling the unit and disconnecting it, OR - pull the fuse. Note that there are 2 fuses: 1) "radio" - this one powers the radio when you turn it on by the normal on/off switch and 2) the one that powers the radio memory (and possibly other things - in an E30 it is described in the owner's manual as radio memory, OBC, ... It is the #2 fuse that you want to pull for about an hour. Then replace it, turn the radio on, and try to re-enter the code.

The dealer called me on the way home today and gave me two codes to use. He said BMWNA faxed him two codes because MCoupe radios had all kinds of problems, they're not sure which one I have. That explains why their techs were having problems pulling the code from the computer last Friday. I tried both of them and the second one worked. Which is pretty interesting because the second one is the same code as my wife's Z3. Go figure. Thanks again, Rich. This digest in invaluable.

Reminds me of the company that recently stated they had a way of making unlimited energy from magnetism....they just need a bunch of people to invest before they actually produce a working model ;-) It does sounds interesting though.

I know many on the list consider the US ellipsoids to be junk, but I don't mind them and they are definitely way better than what's on the car. Anyone have a set they want to sell? Similarly if anyone has a set of smileys or other improved lights, I would be interested. Lastly, are the knock-off smileys on Ebay any good? Anyone tried them?

It makes me worried about the E9x M3 which could be 4000 lbs and still maintain the current M3's 10 lb/HP spec. The 3.0 turbo would be really sweet in an M-Coupe. --Andre ------------------------------ End of [bmwuucdigest] digest(15 messages) **********
