Re: GPS speedo signal

I used some wire near steering wheel rack, probably it was white/black (not sure about the color now), but it worked well. I think it was from speedo or onboard computer. If you don't have onboard computer, you should have the wiring for it anyway.

Re: Z3 2.8 remap after big port inlet manifold

To be honest, I don't drive the car enough to notice a difference, but it's the equivalent of the m50 manifold swap on the older 2.8. The M54b30 manifold that I fitted has much larger ports than the standard m52u. Not worth it if you use car as DD and not for track days. Probably just shifting torq...

They are not shown in INPA, but I can see them with RomRaider software - it writes the log in real time and you can analyse it later, probably there are other options too. But you have different ECU, so I can't help much here.

Ok, if you say fuel injector pulse widths are according to ECU tables, then I am guessing that injectors are bad or misaligned cams. But that's just wild guess. Others things should throw some error codes IMHO.

When engine is cold o2 sensors are not in a play. Fuel is enriched until engine is at it's normal working temp. And cam position sensor should throw an error. Maybe sticking idle valve or something like that?
