    Post "EVIL BMR" S54 Z3M | 700+hp | stock DME (seriously)



    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIFNiIzvBgY[/ame]

    Quick Specs:
    708 hp
    VAC Built S54
    VAC Stage 3 Cylinder Head
    VAC/Tilton carbon/carbon clutch

    Our client looked high and low for a shop to build one of the world's baddest Z3Ms. He ended up sending his baby cross country to us for a complete S54 build, SC and tuning solution. He wanted a car that could be driven to the road course then thrashed around the circuit. Challenge: stock DME and catalytic converters were a must. With some careful tuning and 100 octane fuel we made just north of 700bhp on our Dynapack. The video does this car no justice, it sounds like Satan's chariot at WOT. It revs so fast and makes truly evil noises.

    Engine:
    Max power 708 BHP
    VAC built S54 ‘Supercharged Series’ engine with all options including:
    VAC Stage 3 Cylinder head

    Carbon fiber Valve Cover
    VAC Custom dyno tuning
    Meisterschaft GT rear exhaust, HJS High-flow Cats, Supersprint header

    20% is the typical % we use on our dynapack. We made ~570 on another pass with the 100 octane tune dialed in but I cant find the sheet. This 695hp sheet will have to do. This sheet shows a ~100k mile stock E46 M3 for comparison.

    Ugly rims, and ugly hood/fenders. Everything else is great.

    We are responsible for the drivetrain, not exterior or interior.

    With that said, this is what the guy likes

    Give me headaches
    If it looked all stock, it would really be a sleeper. The interior makes me want to puke though. Has to be a complete monster.

    Great looking car. I would drive the piss out of it. Nice work to all involved. The owner is a lucky man.
