E36 M3 vs. Stimpee's Twinscrew 325i.

[continuing ed]

A few Interstate runs of his car against my stock-drivetrain (B&B exhaust only) '98 M3. Running through the gears, and then 4th/5th gear pulls side-by-side. The Cliff Notes version: I got dropped like a brick in a bathtub every time, as I expected I would. My pleas for divine intervention went unheeded.

On a simultaneous pull from 70 mph in 5th gear, his TS supercharged car opened up a few (less than 20) quick car lengths over a period of about 10 seconds, as I attempted to stick my right foot all the way through the firewall.

A 4th gear pull was even worse for me, which is the opposite of what I would have expected. From 70 mph, the TS car quickly opened up a sizable gap of at least 5-6 car lengths in the space of 8-10 seconds at full throttle, and it was just getting worse. The speed differential was similar to some stock E46 M3's that I play with. My latest funeral will be conducted this Saturday.

A turbo Grand Prix apparently was trying to keep up with us as we made those runs. At least I killed the GP without knowing it, until I slowed for my exit ramp. My second involuntary Pontiac kill in 4 days. So I've got that going for me. Which is nice...

[Serious]

sick.

So I says 'Hey Lama, how 'bout a little somethin, ya know, for the effort?'

Nice Pontiac ownage, and I'm glad to hear Stimpee's car pull sso well for all the work he's put into it

Score one for the non-M'ers.

[328 is man]

[BMWManiac]

and maybe the TS will finally help me make up my mind already with the whole FI THING! NEED FOR SPEED!

[Makr]

[JeffCupino]

[slocar]

someone help me find the word...

rape, yeah thats it

[BMW#1Enthusiast]

[slickav]

Pwn3ge to the umpth degree

"Force inducted" 325s rule

I drove Stimpee's car a week ago. That car is FAST. From any gear at any RPM you get 7 psi boost INSTANTLY. It felt 90% if not more as strong as my old 3.0L Centrifigual SC 360+ rwhp M3. Stimpee's car is no joke for a 1993 325i with all stock engine with over 105,000 miles on it.

Wish I had a TS on my car

Just a correction to Bill, is that my car is a 1993, not a 1992. And only 107.5k (with 10.5k on the kit), not 110k!


See my sig for current specs. I am trying to find time to get my new clutch installed to hit the drag strip again, as I think low 13's are possible if I can learn to drive. Also, want to hit a local dyno (possibly mustang and dynojet if I can) on a cool day. I think on a dynojet in 60 degree ambient or so 275 rwhp may not be out of the question...

Awesome story. I gotta get ahold of an SC now..

Sorry, made the corrections.

Still very very impressive.

So Steve how many people need to put a refundable (unless buyer backs out) deposit down to get the kit manufactured?
It would be a great Early X-Mas present!
