OMG, I am currently running ESS 650, mine is already super fast, but yours is Fking another story, haha lets destroy new jb4 m4 or rb jb4 m4 in the future. That would be interesting.

That acceleration vid is ridiculous. Mad props, love you what have done.

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.

I was thinking of 3 series N54s only. I'd hesitate to start comparing engines if they are not in a common chassis.

DCT vs MT in both races, right?

Yes.

Just awesome!
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?

[VT3M33]

Yes.., The geek is Robert.

We have a long way Togo , 14psi, 16psi, Meth, newly designed intake system, DBVManifold, ported and Polished intake/exhaust heads ....

My main focus is the fueling system which is running flawlessly thanks to Drew (DSLJ5) & Cory Prime ( prime performance ).

AJ ( Tuner ) has provided 12/14/16 psi maps, @ this point we are taking it step by step, we still have to see where the DCT's threshold is ... We have something in the works for that too .

Prime Performance will be offering multi staged high horse powered Motor builds ranging from LC4.0/4.4/4.6

Next goals on the list are

5.5 60-130

Breaking into the 9's in the 1/4
Hitting 800+whp

I like the sounds of that! What is DBVmanifold?

Dual Bypass Valved Manifold, these high boost setups consist of 3 valves, 2 recirculating 1 BOV...

Not sure if this is mentioned but how will the DCT hold up? I thought I read somewhere it would slip past 750~ whp??

Thanks.

The answer is in the post you quoted They're working on finding out right now. Transmissions typically have torque ratings, rather than power ratings, so it's a question of how much torque it can withstand. Supercharged cars are easier on transmissions in this regard, because their torque curves are far flatter than most turbo setups.

lol thanks. failed late night reading.

HOLY WOW

[2SNAILS]

Someone pls get me a damn bib!
This is perfection!

[BobS]

Congrats on a sick build! I can't wait to see it represent this platform at the slipstream event. There is going to be some good competition for it!!

[Mfanatik]

The story was the most epic write up Ive read in a long....long time.

Congrats and enjoy it in good health, that video is insane.

I thought about doing something like this (not to that extent) but if you dont mind I have to ask:

Did you contemplate the new F8X before biting the bullet?
- If so did you drive it and what were your thoughts?
- Was the potential/cost of the new F8X a deciding factor?
- Are you planning to go against the new F8X stock and modded to compare?
If so pls make a vid!

What were the cars in question if you were to start a new project?

Again, you have very tastefully done M3.

I don't want to speak for the OP but a stock/modded f8x m3 would have no chance against this car. A 625/650 kit will take a modded f8x m3.

Nice build. Quick question(s) -
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?

Awesome, can't wait to see someone reliably push the limits of the S65

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