jaehshim · 09-26-2014, 10:01 AM

amazing

lfelunden · 09-26-2014, 10:30 AM

I'm pretty sure the N54 will pretty soon eat this record with all the 700+ whp singles around.
Still, congrats - this must be a serious beast

My favorite part of the story. "$32K in parts alone? Let's do it!"

This is just the beginning, we are at low boost and have 4 more psi to go......
We are taking it up slowly to see where the DCT's threshold is... Let's not forget this is a DCT equipped M3 unlike the ESSTuning 6MT 1,000hp Monster.

This is the same setup as ESS's minus the 4.4 stroker factor.

This is by no means a Dyno queen and the car is Daily Driven as those that personally know me can contest to.

The way it is set up now it will run a 5.5 60-130 which I'll be going back to test after we fresh'n up with a new tighter supercharger Belt which takes place tonight.

No surprise ESS and M33 are setting World Records!

Congrats on a well deserved Work Record!

Looking forward to you setting more World Records!

Damn, nice work Zim. Running with the big boys in the 60-130 times.

That's one insane beast you've got there. Got anymore photos of the car? MCB M3's are dead sexy

Eh, the S65 has tended to beat the N54, for a given and equal amount of whp. That is, of course, assuming the drivers are equally competant. So, I'd guess the N54 would have to put down more than 800whp to give this car a problem, in it's current form.

Doctor J · 09-26-2014, 11:57 AM

Impressive!

Please post a video of that car!

GRUESOM3 · 09-26-2014, 11:58 AM

S65 = 700whp, other cars = 800+whp -

Would you mind listing any additional supporting mods (if any), such as larger oil cooler, DCT oil cooler (or higher capacity DCT pan), diff bushings, etc.?

will update the main page

You forgot about weight.

Terry Burger's n54 single turbo 135i has done a 5.9 second 60-130 when it was 3,250 pounds at 580 wheel on the Specialty Z dyno. Since it did the 5.9 second 60-130, it has gained another 50 HP and dropped 100+ pounds, so at ~630 wheel there is one n54 that will be battling it out with the built S65's.
