The new M3/M4 will be fast with a tune. It will be nice to see the outgoing M3 with some more push.

Also remember that the power levels some are mentioning would require significant drivetrain modification the parts for which are not exactly on the shelf.

Not trying to rain on anyones parade here, just trying to be realistic.
But you have to realize you are talking about an engine that is not high reving... So you cant really compare the 2.. The whole point is a high reving (8k) turbo v8.. The main point is to bring the torque which the e92 is lacking. Even if the harrop supercharger brings the torque up. Ill be happy with that.

The turbos in OP pic look like HTA units. BW makes decent turbos at relatively cheap prices, but they are too big compared to others with similar specs and we have serious space issue.

12-15 psi on stock internals?!! I'm thinking more like 1-2 psi less than what centrifugals push to the engines. Turbos take it harder on internals than centris. If we are talking about built engines, then the sky is the limit. Add sleeves and just raise boost. 1000 isn't out of reach with a built engine and turbos with enough CFM. Gintani stage 3 made like 750whp or something at 7000-ish RPM with the super big YSI and YSI's waste a LOT of output to spin themselves.

Agreed. Open dump + BOV = Way too Fast and Furious-ish.

The factory tq numbers are acceptable with the E9X M3. Being a V8 I would expect more but it is what it is.

If you want to talk about lacking numbers in reality look at the Honda S2000 and Honda NSX. Both very weak and always have been in the high revving 4 banger and 6. I am a former owner of multiple ones. Without a doubt in stock fashion they are lacking, not so much here.

We saw dynoed S2000s with 195 hp and 131 ft pounds of torque in a 2900 pound car. Closer to 3000 pounds with a hardtop and bodykit which so many kids run these days. The NSX we saw pre 1997 - 220-240hp 170-190 ft/lbs
post 1997 - 240-260hp 180-200 ft/lbs.

I still am a fan of both but just saying.

And a turbo kind of fixes all...still low tq numbers however after boost

Like everyone else here I own the car and understand its weaknesses as well as the joys that come from the unique character of a higher rpm V8 engine. I also understand that the improved torque down low is going to be a major attraction for any TT kit.

And yes, the engines are quite different in their layout and design philosophy but that isn't what I was referring to insofar as comparing. I'm talking about making a reasoned guess as to what kind of power levels may be possible in a kit sold to the general public in the real world. A different thing than something someone keeps together long enough to make an airstrip run before it explodes. While the number for the latter may very well be 1000 or more hp the number for the former will be much lower.

This is what I mean about realistic. The numbers that are produced in every single kit for Corvette is far below what TTs could produce and do produce in the cars that people build for airport runs and such. Few of the latter however are done because of the expense and because there is no way to hold the car together at the glory numbers for long out in the day to day.

I'm not certain if the big numbers were mentioned in reference to what may be possible or actual hopes of it being available in a kit that these folks are going to sell. This is what I meant about not raining on parades. I find the big numbers as cool as the next guy and I'm interested in them myself.

Sorry we have no video for you guys yet. A few things got delayed. We want to put out a video just as much as you want to see it. But we have decided we want to have the production pieces on the vehicle before we run it again.

For now, here is a photo of our manifold getting ready for casting at the foundry.

We should be getting our first manifold within the next 10 days.


Please note: we are also have underway 2 other big projects that has been taking up a lot of our time as well, even though our E9x twin turbo kit is priorty over all others.

Not that much concerned about videos.. Mainly concerned about ballpark prices.. Trying to financially plan and also sell my turbo e46 m3 so i can buy a e92 m3. If its not in my price range, i dont want to get my hopes up

Nah whp but your right for a boosted s2k it is actually VERY low, however I have 50K+ miles on the setup and haven't had any issues! Plus it is still faster then a lot if not most sports bikes

I always hear the low torque argument but it was not the design or purpose of this engine. You cannot have both in naturally aspirated form. You can't have a low end grunty torque engine that revs to 8400 rpms and makes top end power up until 8300.

Its one thing if many other engines made big torque and offered high rpm power but as mentioned it simply is not possible or very difficult. The purpose of the m3 and the s65 was high revving power which ANYONE who has tracked this car will appreciate how great 3rd gear is to have 8400 rpms to play with and have a 2k band of power to have control of at the peak powerband. IT works flawlessly. This was what it was designed for.

Its a weak low-end torque motor so if you prefer that type of motor and you own an m3 than it seems more of a wrong choice rather than a flaw in the m3 s65 engine which fulfills its purpose beautifullly
