Then take it in for a dyno tune. I am not sure if we will fly in the tuner at this point or remote tune. Getting closer.......

I think I know who that expert was!

Once you get the swap infrastructure done, then what you need is a fully built NA S62. Your expert and I know just where you can get that! LOL.

Can't wait to see this up and running. Great project.

Hi Peter.
I am positive you know Dusty. Surprised we haven't spoken. I'll send you a pm with my contact info.

We Dyno tuned the car yesterday. It sounds glorious and makes good power! How much power? I won't tell but enough to make her quite fast!

Not much to see at the moment. It's just an E46 M3 with an S62

. We will have to assemble and get some pics up (no widebody at the moment)

I was able to sell my old AIM dash and now have the AIM MXG 7" color display! Preety cool!

It runs! We only found one issue so far but should be able to fix it within a week. I do hope to head down to Thunderhill at least once this winter. Oh and it sounds awesome!

Bravo!

The latest:

There was another race team that needed a Aim dash so I was able to sell them mine and buy the Aim MXG. Very nice!

The original tuner was a nice guy but very difficult to schedule with. I was able to source another highly respected and experienced tuner. Flew him out from the east coast and scheduled 2 days on the dyno. He was able to trouble shoot a few items and the results were pleasing.

At that point it was time to get her prepped for the first test. We were able to find a large skid pad (I'll post a video if i can). It was damp and spinning the tires in 2, 3 and 4th. Still fun! She is just music to the ears!

Next was a real track day. The set up was basically in "safe" mode considering we changed so much and have the new Tilton pedal box. Even then and driven conservatively (coasting, etc..) she was 2 seconds faster than the old engine!

Bought some fiberglass doors.

Last week it went to the body shop to install the flossman widebody GTR kit. We should get it back this week.

We ordered multiple sets of Forgeline wheels this week.

We currently have a designer working on the livery.

Bimmerworld race shifter? Looks like mine, that's about as far as the similarities go.

The front is limited by class rules. The rear would require move pick up points which I don't think is legal. even now we will have to shorten the rear springs to have enough clearance. It is a tight fit!
