Not sure where you've been, but someone has already done this. 2+ years over 20K on the built LC motor. TONS of videos against cars with 100+ more whp, etc. 4 trophies from the events, no towing of the car to the events, etc.

World Records for ANY E9X

174MPH 1/2 mile trap
136MPH 1/4 mile trap

Certainly those will be broken and Zim's car will eventually break the 1/4 mile trap speed at ATCO, but I ran against the best at several events over the last 2 years, been extremely transparent about issues/complications as well. But the fact is we have already proven what a reliable, 711whp E92 M3 could do, so you're a little late jumping on the bandwagon now Brother.

I agree the s65 is reliable enough to handle the power. It will be nice, however, to see how far the DCT can be pushed

Was talking beyond your car (considering you still used the same s/c as the stock motor kits) and the "Child's" YSI car that spends more time on a trailer.... But thanks

Lol, I can agree with that, but it sounded like you were saying that someone is finally pushing the S65 for the first time reliably, when cleary it's been done already, results right? The stock motor kits do not run 14psi on the V3, so it's a big jump IMHO.

Break-in period. How many miles, and did you install the SC right away or run it NA first? And is the SC new or a re-install with a new blower?

i broke the motor in with the new V2 Ti blower and 4.4 tune

Cory's gonna be a very busy guy, but HUGE congrats to him for turning out a bomb ass motor

I'm kind of speechless.

So, what do you think would be needed to maintain the torque curve. The car would make even more power by holding peak torque.


If you don't mind me asking, who is the "geek?" Is that Robert?

meth would beef it up nicely

Can't wait to see this car in action on Sunday!

Its been holding strong! no sign of weakness whatsoever , heck I'm happy with the 750whp 540wtq it's making now and the DCT responds flawlessly..... but keep in mind i have a ESS tuned DCT file in the car.

at this point it is safe to say that the YSI car doesn't even qualify or should be used in comparison.... it doesn't run ( reliably ), there are no videos of it racing anything worth while... no 60-130's .. nothing! wait there is something ... Hype

I mean, I wanna give Gintani the benefit of the doubt and that it's the DCT (and the owner) killing the project.... Which is why I'm shocked the owner hasn't opted for a 6MT conversion just so they can drive their car & show what it's capable of until the DCT is "capable"


Oh well, not my car and it only discredits that "build"

x2 great vids. i hope a bunch of people record your runs this weekend.

seen this car run all day today at the slipstreme event today it beat a tuned mclaren whayamacall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPQg...U#action=share

zim was hot lapping it and it was running flawlessly and consistently talked to him for a bit told me that there is lack of traction and doesn't know weather to go from 2nd gear or 3rd gear, so i assume that was the least of his worries... car looks great and sounds good too def one of my top 3 favorite cars running today ! congrats zim and when my car is up and running i want a piece of that vt3!

Thanks man , I had a blast !!!
My biggest problem was traction, and my front lip didn't help either.
All my runs were done in 3rd gear with MDM on @ 12psi of boost although I was prepared with 14 @ 16 psi pulleys but traction was at its worst with the 12psi pulley which netted me 715 whp. I tried taking traction control off but I would do stand stills so I had to work with what i had and that was with MDM on.
Temps were to cold for me to utilize 2nd gear which I used to achieve my 5.7 60-130 whereas I was seeing mid 6's with the vbox using 3rd for take off.
The car definitely needed methanol, I was seeing intake temps of 130-168f same for boost, my best runs were with 100-125f intake and boost temps and even though it was 40f out doing a high speed pull like that and shutting your down soon after waiting to run again in a long line heated the car up pretty good... So good that it replicated what I saw in 70-80f weather when cruising.

Anyhow my best ET/trap was 8.7 @ 154mph which was in the mix of 1000hp gtr's, corvettes, MP4 @ Porsches. I averaged 8.7 - 9.2.

I had a fun and met great people and that's what counts, I will be better prepared for the next events

[VT3M33]

Updated main page with some videos at the event, anyone that has more just email me them and I will post them up.
Theirs one run that the pdk 997 took me hard on but I was experimenting and learned my lesson with that run, I believe I beat his best time too, we'll see what the results entail when posted.

Very impressive man

Next one I will be there as well... Just remember all those Gtr people swear on there left testical that they make 1000whp when they are just the biggest sandbaggers ever... Funny my fastest run last time was with a Gtr as well!!

All and all the car ran great and didn't break, which is a blessing and you were hot lapping so take it as a win!

Very true !
The car is built like no other, we pretty much blueprinted everything to bearing clearance to high boost wall clearance, but ..... It's always something ! Now we have to redesign/improve the cooling system.
Either way car performed flawlessly.

[modkrazy]

Nice commuter car you got there.

Once I address the cooling system that will all change , The only reason that 1,200 HP corvette caught me up top is cause I heat soaked , my IAT's on that run were in the high 170's if I recall correctly.

It will be an interesting adventure with this VT4 that's for sure.
