Doesn't look like much at the moment, but it will

It's an Active Autowerke Gen 3 Level 2 kit with a Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler methanol injection system.

Install is being completed by Eurowise in Charlotte, NC. Should be done by Saturday granted a few small things I'm waiting for come in and it should be on a dyno the same day. I'll be pushing 9psi and methanol daily.

More pics will come as the shop sends em to me.



edit: some new pics ...

First off ... I need a new front bumper. It was drilled for front plates and I live in a state where they aren't required and when it was being dynod, the tie down straps pulled out one or two of the mounting tabs, hence the driver side isn't fitting that well. Also, the front bumper is covered in bugs

 

Is this going to see any track time?

 

I'd like to get into tracking it, just never really had the opportunity. It's going in the rgiht direction with the suspension with Bilstein PSS9 coilovers ($$$), and I'd probably need to upgrade the swaybars and reinforce the rear subframe .. and then the brakes. But in short, I'd like to track it for fun here and there, but that's about it.

 

cool, what kind of power are you expecting?

 

Should be just shy of 500rwhp.

The kit I was buying (but the seller backed out then night before) was a different kit and he was pushing 509rwhp on pump and 540rwhp on race gas. He ran an 11.5.

This kit uses a Rotrex blower rather than a Vortech as the VF-E (he had an upgraded T-Trim blower .. $15,000 kit) which is a little smaller but ya i'll be almost 500rwhp which is my goal. Hence I'm switching from alcohol/water to meth and using a larger meth nozzle.

I also have headers and exhaust.

 

None of the pictures are all that sexy yet, but soon. Hoping to be done for an event at his shop on Saturday, it will probably come down to a few small things and the tuned ECU making its way back.

 

Please say you're painting it man??!! The 330i looked ****ing amazing in AW!! Do this one in AW too!!

 

330Ci .. and LOOKS amazing .. I still have it

Ya man, I love AW, but silver isn't bad either.

 

Looks good so far.

Forgot to update, sorry!


Here she is on the dyno. Had a few problems ... 2 coils burnt out, the AFR was really rich, the meth made me instantly lose 100 ft/lb tq, etc etc etc. I was not impressed at all with the numbers, so I won't even bother posting them. I fixed the coils, put a smaller meth nozzle on, and my fuel adaptation codes cleared by BMW, fixed a vacuum problem from the bypass valve .. and tomorrow I will be back on a dyno to figure out whats going on with my tune. I'll post dynos tomorrow!

 

on the dyno again ...

looking good brian

 

baller, pics of said 330ci? :p

 

Sweet M dude! Are you on bimmerforums?

 

thanks!

I'm a member but don't post. I post on M3Forum.net and E46Fanatics.com though. Thanks!

No real good pics of the 330, but here are a few.





That's all i really have though But the 330 was just sold a few weeks ago.

The M3 is running like crap right now, fried one of the spark plug coil packs so its misfiring and I need to get a new one. Turns out I was running the OEM spark plugs as well, so I need to swap those out.

Once I get it running right again, I'll get it back on a dyno .. for the 3rd time ... and get a few CORRECT pulls finally done! I think I'll be around 450rwhp ... and I'll soon be looking for ways to hit 500rwhp.

 

Nice, if a see a silver m3 rolling bragg, I’ll avoid it like the plague! Deployments have there good points.

 

this shop gives me boners.

 

Taking it to the track tomorrow to run it in the quarter. It's running awesome right now. I just hope my OEM clutch will be able to keep taking the abuse, but I think traction will be an issue tomorrow.

Got to run a few cars tonight .. beat them .. STOMPED them all ..(GTO, LS6 CTS-V, EVO 9, STi, etc etc) but one; a C6 Z06., but I'm not disappointed as these are MONSTERS and mid-high 11 second cars. We got started at 50 and I jumped ahead, and held there for a second and a few seconds later he pulled past me and at 100mph he was a half car a head of me. Not too bad. He pulls next to me and asks if I missed a gear LOL and i tell him my car is quick, but not that quick. We roll again, and it's pretty close to the same.

But I hung with a Z06, so that's cool with me.

I'll be running the quarter tomorrow, so we'll see how it goes. If all goes well, I should be low low 12's.

 

Glad to hear **** is running tight now man.

So if you don;t mind, what was the total cost including the M3? Just like to know so I can see if this new job will let me be baulin' like you.

 

New?

M3 $57,230
Supercharger $10,900 (+$1000 install)
Methanol injection $500
Headers $200 (+$400 install)
AC Schnizter muffler $1200
Supersprint unresonated S pipes wth resonators welded in $600
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers $1200

Well, those prices are all for new I was just curious to see what it came out to. But seriously ..

M3 $21,000
Supercharger $5750 (+$1000 install)
Meth $500

and all the exhaust work I had done was required (although the muffler came with the car) to get the most out of your blower.

 

Ran the quarter today, my best run is as follows:

.7233 REACTION
1.9497 60 FT
5.3374 330 FT
8.0749 1/8 ET
91.97 1/8 MPH
12.3493 1/4 ET
115.74 1/4 MPH

i was stuck at 12.4 all day, and consistently ran 12.4-12.5 ... but I finally got into the 12.3's.

I need slicks or drag radials so I can get my 60 ft times down and dip into the 11's.

 

Nice. Now get some slicks and kill that ****!

Not to bad on the price. Hopeing for something like that, but now looking at an Evo 8 or 9 maybe. I really like the body style.

 

slicks .... ahhh, so tempting. I don't want to get serious into dragging it, but slips would seriously help my time. but the stickier the tires = the higher you can launch = more stuff breaking. soooo we'll see.

i found a good deal on a nitrous kit though
