I stand corrected
944 hp at the crank
Our goal is to hit another 100+hp to the crank once were done with the transmission.... There is a lot more left in the car, this was done on 18-19psi on a badly slipping clutch. The car should of put down closer to 830whp on this setup without the clutch issues. 25psi on the way really soon!!!!!

But why so late in the game? HPF did the same thing with the E46 M3 turbos. To late in the game and the next M3 was coming out.

I would be working on the new platform the day it becomes available. To many companies wait until the last year of current model. To me thats way to late as most E9X M3 owners will jump ship to the next M3/M4. I know I would.

However, being in a dynoed 900hp M3 I can attest it felt awesome. Almost to much power. Now 773hp would be a little slower. lol

^^^ Correct. Just to clarify. You divide instead of multiply. So starting at 771, and assuming 18% DT loss, that would be 771 / 0.82 = 940. etc.

With the prices dropping on E9X M3 models, and them becoming more affordable, its not late in the game. As price drops and the vehicles come out of warranty, people are less hesitant to mod their vehicles.
Most of our projects are ones that said can't be done. For example the TT setup we currently are turning into a production kit, which started off as a fun project for the shop car.
The numbers you see here were done previously on our shop car a long time ago. This isn't something new for us. The new project for us is to build the DCT up to hold the power, since the company that was entrusted to make the DCT for our customer failed(which had the car in their possession for over a year. Then after waiting for so long the "upgraded" DCT failed on the 2nd dyno run).

Do not think these projects will hold us back from coming out with new products/projects for the new platforms coming out. We already have the new m5 and m6 lined up getting ready for new upcoming products. Keep a look out for them.

considering I will be keeping my e92 m3 till I die, ill probably end up doing that kind of swap in the future.

in a couple of years of course.

but yeah, that's pretty sweet, now I know it can be done.

thanks guys

love it. would like to have that much power on my car, but not at the cost of causing my clutch to slip.

thing is probably scary fast. my car is at 581whp, and that's already insane to me as is. still, that 700 figure is so alluring

Good to know but still would rather have seen this in 2009 or 2010, not almost 2014....

They have a very valid point. Not many people so anal about the car warranty are going to be willing to drop that kind of $ on that kind of setup. Fast forward a few years to cars coming off warranty, coupled with the price drop of picking up a used ride, and you have a market.

Better late than never, and it works out especially nice for guys that picked up 2012/2013 cars if they're willing to disregard the warranty.

Not too late to the market. The E46 M3 supercharger market is still pretty strong even today, and shows no signs of slowing. More E90/92s are going out of warranty and that's when serious mods start.
