Did an oil pan gasket this past weekend and never have seen a rotating assembly in person.

Hi everyone! I got an r53 last year, it has 147k and the transmission is going out. I'm going to replace both. I found a used engine and they sent me videos of the compression test. I've looked at all the forums and did a bunch of searches but confused on what is good and what isn't. I would really appreciate your feedback on what you think. Thank you in advance 🙏

I do a fair bit of tuning on R53s and needed a more portable data logger. Couple days of sniffing ISTA and I've got a tool. Still working on the graph and I have to wire up my wideband ble injector. This is so much better than generic OBD2 data..

I only have facelift (silver case) ecu's on hand but that's all I use anyway and everyone should upgrade and immo delete while they are at it...

any features I should build into this? I did tiered polling so it does some channels fast and some like SFT/LFT slower to keep spark/rpm/injector faster

My first android app went live this week, it'll be a while before this one can be published as I tie up loose ends with my pyrometer

So basically I’m trying to code my car (R52 S) through NCS Expert and it just doesn’t work.

What I do is:

- Read my car

- Use Revtor’s NCS Expert Profile

- CODIERDATEN_LESEN on BC1

Put that TRC file into NCS Dummy

Activate/deactivate all I want (for example passenger window going up with a single click)

- Export to .MAN

- SG_CODIEREN

- Execute job and get no errors

- Then nothing changed.

When I read the file again which I just wrote (with all the edits) the edits are still the way I wanted them, if that makes sense.

So the TRC file still has everything aktiv / nicht_aktiv but for some reason my passenger window still won’t go up automatically.

I been at it for hours now with no luck. Please comment or DM if you can help me out.

Has anyone had experience with aftermarket clutches, specifically Clutchmasters? I recently got a setup from them including flywheel and the slave cylinder no longer disengages the clutch. It was professionally installed and bled and still no go.

I've been in touch with Clutchmasters but they have not been the most helpful. They've stated that even though the setup is built for the car it is a different size, single vs. dual mass flywheel. They do not however have any fix or help.

I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do other than try and return the setup? It is slightly used because we've tried to make it functional.
