Can somebody please help me re diablo roadster build got questions

[tonypaul]

I can not comment on the reworking of the BMW v12's ecu's other than it almost seems more trouble than its worth. I have a BMW 850 and from looking at the wiring on that car there is no way I would use the factory BMW harness for a swap.

I would go with a stand alone like Megasquirt, and use cable driven throttle bodies.

 Jim had his  rads custom build. not using fly by wire pedal, I thing he mods the throttle for mechanical, It's been a while since I've seen , I could be wrong

Hi

I understand you are busy however i was wondering if you could spare few minutes to help me out , im building a Lamborghini replica on tube chassis and using 1998 bmw v12 750IL with audi gearbox

My questions is

1) what type of radiators were you using ? were they 2 core 3 core and with side in/out serial or parallel and what brand ?
2) if your build cd is also showing the rewire of the engine ect and what would be the best way to buy it ?


Any help would be highly appreciated "


I will try to find out another way to contact him and try to figure this out

Again i really appreciated you help and if anybody else is able to place any info would be appreciated.

Hi Thank you so much for the info i really appreciated


Q) "As far as the accelerator pedal, are you using the BMW's V12 DBW dual throttle bodies setup if so what engine mangement are you using?"[/i]

A) Im using the normal , i got the whole engine and parts with the ECU's and wiring fuel pumps ect however i didn't realize that its using electronic accelerator pedal  im not even shore where that gets plugged in.... ive seen two types so far one looks more mechanical with side accelerator   and other one is just a plastic pedal with a piston in between.

Thank you for the pic it shows really clearly how to set it up , im having a bit of problems finding the radiator with the same dimensions( around 450mm x 450mm or around 18inch via 18inch)  3 core that has one side in/out left and other side in/out right same as in the pic , i can usually only find one sided in and out.

I will double check Griffin again maybe i will get lucky however if you have a link where you got yours from  that would be appreciated .

Ps regarding the pedal im not sure which one i need as there are two types im pics below


Again i really appreciate  the help and information thank you

( i can't seem to find two opposite radiators to have in out right and in out left )

There are few more questions i have however those are the important one for now.

As far as the accelerator pedal, are you using the BMW's V12 DBW dual throttle bodies setup if so what engine mangement are you using?

I would suggest get the best radiators and electric fans you can get. I run 2- 3 core Griffen rads with Spal fans. I have a turbo LS motor that puts off a little more heat so I also have a 3rd rad (really a heat exchanger for intercoolers) between my engine and the rear cabin firewall. It runs off my engine heater ports during the summer months.

The image below is a sbc but its give you an idea on how you can run it. Some run their coolant lines in a parallel setup (like below) while others have done 2 in 1 return type of setup.
