ESS VT3 Supercharger - Low Compression M3 S65 Engine Build Has Begun...

[CanAutM3]

WOW DLSJ5, your cars looks awesome and seems to perform like hell. I don't know how come I missed your thread before, but it was enjoyable going through it now with this recent bump .

Your car is very tastefully done, very subtle yet purposeful mods . I also like the engine bay treatment with how the red valve covers and the red intake complement the car colour.

Congrats .

Really appreciate that man, makes it all the more worth it!

I had a chance to dyno my ESS VT3 Supercharged Low Compression Built Motor at European Auto Source (EAS). It was the first time I'd been to EAS, and the shop was setup nicely, friendly staff and Tom was very gracious as well. Steve from EAS operated the dyno, very knowledgable and awesome guy as well. THANK YOU - Tom, Steve and the rest of the crew at EAS.

We dynoed the car back in December on 91 octane and I came back today to dyno with a 91/100 mix ~94octane, Meth, and a few gallons of E85 (~19% mix) as well. I'm very pleased with the results.

Here's a vid of the AFR/Boost/FP - gauge reads a solid AFR throughout and ~12.x psi.

Wow amazing results bro!

[GOLFFRR]

Drew do you have the new ESS exhaust system that Roman is running? if so how do you like the tone/sound?

[flipm3]

WOW!!!! Absurd amounts of power!!!

Very nice data, this clearly shows how different types of fuel can change the shape of the curve, especially on the top end! It looks like your graphs line up very well with Izzy's graphs too! Hopefully we get to see some updated acceleration data too!

I am curious though, did you guys purposely stop trying add power once you hit exactly 666whp?! You have to get a new personalized plate with either "ESS DVL" or "RED DVL" or "VT3 DVL" hahahahaha.

Good stuff Drew!

As always, your car is siiiiiick! ��

I do it's still a prototype, sounds awesome though, but I should have the final version shortly.

Haha, good stuff Alex, my buddies call the car "The Red Baron" or "The Red Devil" so the 666 was fitting I guess, haha. We'll see how it does at the next Shift-S3ctor Airstrip Attack, Bimmerpost is sponsoring the BMW shootout, hopefully I can contend for the trophy!

Cool deal. You should come out to the Shift-S3ctor Airstrip Attack.

Haha, NICE!!!!

I can't wait to see how the event turns out.

Good luck and most of all, stay safe out there!

How is the DCT holding up with all that power? Have you heard of anyone successfully completing a clutch rebuild on the DCT yet? Congrats, the car is a monster that continues to break new S65 DCT ground.

DCT is holding well. Currently I know of no one who has been successful in upgrading the DCT clutches, at least no tangible, documented evidence. Hopefully that will change soon, but if OEM works leave it alone, I don't plan on more power, this is enough. Thank you for the kind words, it's much appreciated!

Crazy power for the stock clutch. I thought you had upgraded and figured if I went V3 I would probably need to upgrade my clutch as well.
One less excuse i have

Do you know if anyone has successfully replaced worn clutches with OEM stock clutches at this point in time?

I've seen no documented evidence that anyone has yet.
