gains on a TT kit will actually be MUCH more than a supercharger kit. Only thing limiting it will probably be the internals!

I belive everyone who is working on a tt kit was waiting for the air strip event to be done... We should see kits out by summer 2014...

Anybody wants to buy a max psi e46 turbo m3

+1, I believe the same

[CPWINCH]

it is still being worked on. Dont give up yet

Why not just put the S63tu? (bmw's twin turbo v8 if I got it wrong) in the e92 rather than do all this work to add them to the s65?

cost first of all. Second theyre completely different engines. S63 is a 4.4 liter v8 that revs to 7200 rpm where as the s65 is a 4 liter v8 that revs to 8400 rpms. People want the high redline of the s65 and dont want to have to remove engine redo wiring and fuss with everything else that is involved in an engine swap. They have completely different ecu's so thats another hurdle. Also, theoretically gintanis kit will be be bolt on. So all you have to do is bolt on the manifold and turbos and upgraded fuel injectors and load up their tune ( all assumed since we do not know for sure). That is much easier than dealing with an engine swap, re wiring, and other things involved with engine swap. Also the transmissions are different from e90 to f10 so i bleieve that would be another thing that would have to be addressed. Gintani makes good products and im sure this will turn out great, just might take longer than expected

I am tired of seeing unreasonable wishful thinking about a 2,000 pound M3 when we all know street legal cars that have to pass crash tests. I would never buy a M3 (or any street car) that weighs less than 2,500+ pounds for security reasons. The stock M3 is not a pure track car. 99.9% of M3 owners do not need/want a light car (only 0.1% track rats). And stop putting light weight as the solution. The fastest street car on a track the GT-R weighs more than the E92. Personally I don't give a damn if the car weight up to 3900 lbs as long as it can handle and power its weight. If you get hit by a big SUV or truck and you are in a 2000 pound car most of the shock energy is going to accelerate your car and your neck. If that is not evident to you, imagine a soccer ball being kicked hard and see how much acceleration the ball gets at impact. Now replace the soccer ball with a heavier ball.

Nah, they should have just transplanted the S85 in there.

A hideous body kit and a turbo sitting on a subframe removed from a car pretending to be installed? Who works on a project like this without a lift? If that's supposed to get people excited, it won't. It the quality of the area it's being worked on is any indication of the kit, they are in for a rude awakening

Besides that what you told here about safety is completely untrue, this shows exactly what's wrong with M. It's the buyers. No offense of course.

Isn't Raz supposed to post things like that? BTW that LB Performance widebody looks like utter shit. In this case it kind of makes sence as they need more space to put wider tires, but whomever else that buys it needs to remind himself that he doesn't have to turn his car into a Civic-level boyracer automobile.

Umm not choosing sides here but you say its a hideous body kit, its not even on the car.. Someone is holding up a flared fender to the car.. And that yellow bar is the lift.. Its just sitting low. Regardless if this kit gets up and running, many people would have a big change of heart.. Same like max psi kit on the stock dme.. Many hated and when it finally was up and running, those same congratulated. The picture is not to show progress, its show there is still hope

do you not see the lift in the picture? i mean its not like gintani holds the record or anything for most hp in an e9x m3 and they dont have kits out for e46's, m5's and m6's etc.....please go on I'm sure your also going to tell us how Ess makes the best s/c kits

I do see it. I'm far from an ESS fanboy. I also think that out of all the s/c kits on the market Gintani and VF are competing for who's kit looks the worst. Not to mention lack of attention to detail
