u guys better watch out for my maxima boys (one of my previous cars). one just dyno'd @ 390, another @ 260, and a few others around that same range (4th gen maxima)

to stay on bmw topic, i wish i had a turbo in my bimmer to keep up.

NO CRAP!
i got my ass smoked by a tubo eclipse..didnt realize it till it was too late and heard the blow off valve

sleeper cars include primered and beat nissan 240sx's with sr20det power under the hood.
watch for those also there are two around the downtown midtown buckhead area.

I got murdered getting on to 400 by a turbo Miata up by Perimeter mall a few days ago. Those little suckers can MOVE.

There will be many more of those roaming around Atlanta soon. I saw three the other day waiting for the conversion @ a shop I go to. 2400lbs 400rwhp w/ instant spool = pretty nice combo!!

mwuhahahaha....

no comment...

I remeber meeting a guy that does these conversions at RA, he had a carbon copy of my old 240, but with the 20DET installed. Had a timeslip for a 12.2x 1/4. pretty strong!
They also had an 89 with the 26DET installed. said it was pretty scary actually in that car.

wish I had thought of this before getting rid of that car. I really liked that thing.

yeah....be on the lookout for techno...

plain dirty white E34....16" millemiglia 5 spokes....guesstimated at 330 horse.

Can I have your car then?

you people do know that you can make basically anything go fast in a straight line, right?
A stock 240 isn't fast. A stock maxima isn't fast. if non-stock examples of the above are faster than your stock M3, then there is your problem... why is your M3 stock? even if its not stock, if you want it faster, it can be made faster.

And then there is this little matter of money... :(

And with our cars that seems to be LOTS of it. $10k for a turbo kit...comeon. :az:

hey wasted M3 driver,
I think i know which shop you go to I saw three sitting waiting for transplants, but were gonna be making way more then 400whp.

you think paying a shop to do an SR20DET swap (or god forbid an RB26DETT), is cheap?
and the $10k turbo thing... I'm working on that. :o)

I really don't know what those motors run, and I know it can't be cheap. Just saying they get more value per $. As BMW owners we get bent over on just about all performance parts.

Oh.....and if someone were looking for a guinea pig for a turbo project I would be willing to loan my car for the cause ;)

Exactly. I don't know about turbo charging a Nissan motor that was never designed to work with one nor to spin as high as the turbo will push it. Most of these jokers don't realize that they've turned their motors into ticking time bombs that will eventually come apart like a hand grenade.

Personally, I'd rather bulletproof the bottom end of the motor with forged components and have it rev higher (above 7K rpm) for faster throttle response and durability....

Yes you are right .. High boost will cause componants to fail quicker. But we are not talking about stock parts either. These people that TRUELY build up a car spend massive amounts of time and money doing so. These cars will run on high boost for quite a while. And when they do grenade, it just gives them an excuse to rebuild the engine even stronger. Boost should be listed as a narcotic.

boost makes parts fail quicker? not always the case. its RPM's that tear apart motors.
also, building a motor to spin faster (especially when shooting for the really high RPM ranges) can make throttle response worse down low. if you are just lightening stuff, great. but once you go to the big cam with lots of overlap, the low RPM drivability goes out the window.
Thats where boost is great, throttle response stays the same (even improves in some cases) and if it shifts the torque curve down, that means you can shift earlier, still make more power, and the lower average RPM the engine experiences will prolong engine life.

A turbocharged M50 making 450 hp will last many many years. a NA M50 making 450 hp will last between 20 and 30 hours. just something to think about....

-Michael McCoy

Michael, you have my permission to use my car to prove that a turbo M50 will last many years.:wave:

Carter

Yea Mike I agree. I was referring to high boost. You know "Enzo Killers" ;) Low boost I don't worry about..

My ex is actually in the process of getting a sr20det in her 240. She would try and race me with her 240 all the time (suspension, intake, exhaust) and everytime regradless of start I would walk away not even WOT.

We are gonna run again with the sr20det in it. I think she was saying something about 290rwhp with the motor. In that case, I will lose.

high boost, low boost, doesn't matter really. boost is boost. there will be a safe limit on any motor. exceed it and it'll go boom. for some cars thats 5 psi, for others it could be 50. The (boost) limit on the motor is really the maximum amount of torque that can be supported by the block/rods/pistons/bearings/etc...

wait, a chick with an SR20 swapped 240? Sparc_it, this ex of yours, got any pictures? ;)

-Michael McCoy

Soon to be swapped. Nope I actually don't but Marco saw her 1 time at Sidelines with me.

what r you talking abot the nissan motors came stock turbo one of the greatest companys to make the best motor r you crazy!!!!any way i just bought a sentra and im going to go either sr20det the turbo motor or sr20ve vvl all motor (it kinda runs like vtec but better) its going to be just headers intake and exhaust on the car with the vvl but ill be kicking ass up and down the road. right now im in the middle of building the bullet proof motor im just waiting fro the the block for my car then its a wrap for the summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the time some of these "tuners" have made their cars REALLY fast, they have spent enough money almost rebuilding the damn thing from the ground up that they could have bought a C5 or something and been faster for the same amount of $$$. (plus having factory reliability and/or warranty is worth something there).

Here is what I think the deal is:
Some of these ppl either have the desire to be unique, OR they want to prove to the world that their little beater CAN be made fast. This may or may not apply to the sleeper crowd as I think they like the surprise factor, being able to make somebody go wow, thats faster than I expected it to be.

In the end, here is my take on it all:
The ppl wanting to be unique couldn't afford a "real" sports car that would bring a feeling of exclusivity. Most of these ppl overlap somewhere between being a ricer and tuner. I can't fault them for wanting to be unique, regardless of income level.

Now the people who want to prove to the world that their car "can" are usually more interested in impressing other people rather than focusing on their own driving experience. These people may also be the same ones to get tatoos or other forms of self mutilation to make other ppl go "wow!". It's all about the shock factor or they have something to prove to the world. (aka: hey, look at me!)

The sleeper crowd I may never completely understand. From what I gather, they like to surprise people. Now these cars are not build (stock) with this sort of performace in mind so they either re-build almost everything in their drive train, or experience occasional failure especially of the stock parts. My personal take is that they end up spending so much money tearing out all the stock parts and putting in heavy duty stuff, that they could have bought a "real" sports car (that might even perform better!) to begin with... but noooo, they don't want to be seen as a sports car. I have no idea why they want this "stealth" factor. Maybe they claim to want a sleeper as a cool way of saying "I can 't afford a real sports car, therefore I will take up the sleeper argument so I sound cool". Now I like an understated car, not too flashy but not too boring, with plenty to back it up. Again, i don't claim to fully understand the sleeper.

Now there is a category of true tuners. These people buy a car so they CAN spend all of their time fixing it up and making it faster. They start with a cheaper platform because its more affordable, and hence they can put more parts on. It's definately a hobby. My analogy is this girl I knew (way back, 9 years ago maybe, in a previous life) who argued with me that she liked to smoke standard commercial grade instead of kind because she liked being able to smoke it all night, not just get zonked out off the bat. I can understand where she was coming from, and I can see where the hobby mechanic could find pleasure in just "tinkering" all year on a car just to accomplish something. Cheaper parts make the trial and error process less painful. I respect the true tuners and yes, be careful of a few as they can make some fast cars!

In the end, the desire for speed and size of the pocketbook is not mutually exclusive.

oh yeah, and another crowd is the "value" crowd. I think this fad started from Fast and Furious when ol' dude in his supra looks over at the Ferrari and askes him how much he spent on his car. I forget the actual words exchanged, but I'm sure most of you have seen it.

These people thrive on having a faster car for less money. I'm not against getting a good value, but these people run around thinking its the greatest thing in the world to beat a more expensive car. I say "so what" as these more expensive cars are usually better equipped or offer other advantages (such as being well rounded). I believe these types put too much emphasis on straight line acceleration.

Now, where else in life do you find people that are so proud to have a similar end result for the same money? Take clothing for example. Do you see people running around saying: "How much did you spend for your Polo shirt??? My Kmart special cost less and keeps me just as warm!" or "hey buddy, what did that Rolex cost you? My $20 watch keeps time just as good!"?

To these people I have to call Sour Grapes and out of all the crowds, I like this group the least.

I think the best rebuttle for these people is "hey, you are starting to sound like an SRT-4 owner!" LOL!

(nothing against SRT-4 owners, I am glad to see more cars made for enthusiasts at all levels.)

keep in mind that all this is said in good fun, not intending to insult or offend anybody :D

I have read this section about turbos and sleepers. Most sleepers out there are redone and yes pretty much rebuilt to the way the owner wants it. I just think the cops don't look at you as much.

Onto boost. the reason why sentras are getting so popular because they are a well rounded car to begin with for a cheap price. THe other major reason is japan has strict smog regulations which force them to pull motors out at 40 k and replace them well all the 180 sx and primera cars have sr20det standard in japan. they bolt right into the sentras with ecu harness injectors turbo manifold for right around 1200 bucks stock psi will be around 8 pounds and may spike to 11 which should give a 2400 pound sentra with lsd about 225 to 260 horsepower and probably around 200 plus foot pounds of torque if u want more power later all u need to do is get a bigger turbo manifold and boost controller and new ecu map.... Remember a stock sentra has 9:5 :1 compression and a det has 8:5:1 compression so the basic sr20de can be modified with an ecu injectors manifold turbo and intercooler for around 1000 bucks and put out 210 hp and 200 ft tq at the wheels and still get 25 miles to gallon.
Also I have seen a sr20de with a turbo setup run 15 to 18 psi on stock block at the race track hotlapping. it dynoed 385 at the wheels with 350 tq

Not all sleepers need to spend alot of money just the ones that don't know the secrets

Give you a little help realizing why nissan sentras and others are using turbos. One the sr20de comes from japan in both fwd and rwd applications the other is the sr20de already revs to 7500 to 7800 but with boost you will short shift it anyways since power will drop off. The other is the sr20de comes stardand with forged components crank and rods so the engine is nearly bullet proof as long as you take car of it.

um well my old hatch was built for less than 14,000 dollars including the price of the car originally. oh and guarantee no 240 sr20 swap or not cold come close to me. not one that i had met yet.

i do miss the car but i love my M3 more except when i step on th gas and let off and i dont hear the BOV anymore :mad:
1995 civic hatch = 2000 dollars
gsr swap = 2500 dollars
motor internals = 1000 dollars
customer turbo kit = 3000 dollars
rolla cage = 300 dollars installed and welded
stand alone fuel management and fuel system abot 900 dollars
tuning = (3 times tunes) about 700 dollars total

and the end result = 414 hp and 292 TQ @ 24 psi on 93 octane pump gas daily driven with no issues except for traction because FWD sux ass

oh yea that dyno graph shown says flywheel HP but it is WHP i assure u because the TCS on the DYNAPACK was set at 1.00. had it been set at 1.15 then it would have read in flywheel hp.

with all those volvo's there i'll be waiting all day in line for them to finish the quarter mile. No thanks!

1/4 mile? Care to try turning? I noticed that everyone here was scared to come run an autocross against my 3 when it was mostly stock. were you people scared of getting your asses handed to you by a 325?

Good question, I dunno how fast it'll go. Let me get the motor in her and cage done first. I can't talk to much shit until then :) . Even after that I won't be in the 8's until I've got the rest of the drive train taken care of. I'm gonna break shit trying though :buttrock

Hey, is this Clark as in we test drove each others cars and I got a flipping ticket in your old M3???

Yes it is. Whats up Shawn! Let me know when you get it together. My supra might make a good kill video for ya. My first time @ the track after I rebuilt it this winter it went 11.2 @ 137mph w/ 690rwhp. Cut 3 1.9 60ft's but the 275/40/17 drag radials spun each time launching off the aem 2step. Probably should be on slicks and skinnies.

Made 801rwhp last week on the stock block, so I need to try that out @ the drag strip. I'm thinking it'll do mid/low 10's @ 145mph on drag radials w/ decent track prep.

1/4 mile? Care to try turning? I noticed that everyone here was scared to come run an autocross against my 3 when it was mostly stock. were you people scared of getting your asses handed to you by a 325

I did the autoX thing for a few years in my exgf's red Mroadster and my Laguna Seca Blue E46 M3. Didn't get my ass handed to me by any 325's. Come to Atlanta Motor Speedway May 14-15th if you enjoy turning. That's my next local track day.

Hey Boosted, I'll run Val in my E46 M3.

Best I went in my E46 M3 was 13.08 @ 106 in my E46 M3. You better cut a 1.7 60ft on street tires if you want a chance at beating Val.

There is a lot of talking and no racing. Who is going to commerce this friday?

Hey, is this Clark as in we test drove each others cars and I got a flipping ticket in your old M3???

BTW you never told me you got a ticket. Just mentioned you had it sideways @ 70mph in the wet. LOL!!!

we all know Jimmy and I have the fastest cars here.

Dude, my car can beat Ali's in neutral

I betcha i'll beat her :)

I'm in. How bout gas money to and from the track, hot dog/coke @ dragstrip, and 2 cases of beer when we get back to atlanta says you can't run faster than a 12.8 in your e46 or e36 m3. I think that was her best time.

I'm curious to see how commerce will hook up w/ my drag radials. I can leave atlanta @ 4pm this friday. Weather is supposed to be sunny and 76 degrees! When are you leaving? Lets ride up together.

I'm a college student, so i betcha a package of Ramen noodles and publix coke. Naw I wasn't talking about running a 12.8, I was talking about running and beating her car.

Cool... Well let me know if you feel like heading up on Friday. Might be nice to see how the e46 m3 traps/et's before you start modding it. I kinda want to go b/c people were telling me commerce hooks better off the line w/ dr's. I've always run better et's/trap speeds/60ft's @ Silver Dollar on street tires w/ na cars. ??

everyone i know runs faster at SDR also. but i think ali has stage 50 dinan everything already???

yeah the e46 m3 is not stock...

you should paint it black... just cuz. :stickoutt

red = fast, and thus you loose some sleeper points. Following conversations about the car should go as follows:

-Is that an SR20? DET even.
"Nooooo, no. Of course not. Thats a KA24."
-Looks like an SR20 to me. And whats with the turbo then?
"Turbo? thats the EGR/smog pump system. It makes the car slower." :shifty

I had a guy at the track ask me why my "cold air intake" was going to the other side of my engine and through a big radiator. :confused

BTW - my anti-sleeper plans are in full effect. I've got me a baddass(read - mad cheap) eBay dual element wing I'm slapping on the biatch. Strangely enough, the company seems to have stumbled upon a pretty good cambered airfoil design for both elements - so it might actually work pretty well. I had my aerospace engineering buddy help me pick it out on eBay.

So now everybody will immediately label me a ricer - therefore excluding the possiblity that I could possibly pull of a sub 15 second quarter mile. Reverse psychology. :)

You must have been at Reynolds.

Actually it was at Road Atlanta. Most of the BMWCCA guys knew very little about turbos, so I'd have to explain why my intake tube goes into the compressor then out to the intercooler blah blah.

u guys better watch out for my maxima boys (one of my previous cars). one just dyno'd @ 390, another @ 260, and a few others around that same range (4th gen maxima)

to stay on bmw topic, i wish i had a turbo in my bimmer to keep up.
