Our 650HP kit produces about 370 lb/ft tq. The DCT transmission has no problem with it. We also run our own DCT software with the kit.

Each car will have a scheduled date based on kit availability. Once we get the car 3-4 days.

Congrats to the guys getting the first few kits!

Let me know when you get time for the re-flash

datbimmerdoe · 08-02-2009, 04:38 PM

Raw nasty numbers!

niqui · 08-02-2009, 04:59 PM

does it come with a warranty from you guys?

gian335 · 08-02-2009, 08:55 PM

wow, this makes me wanna grab an m3. good job on the kit.

mkPOTO · 08-02-2009, 09:02 PM

wow that thing is badass... good deal

positiveions · 08-02-2009, 09:36 PM

wow. that SC is a beast. Man, scary too.

but looks promising. Now what if.... A Dinan stroker motor w/ ESS SC.

It will be a jet.

DLSJ5 · 08-02-2009, 09:41 PM

Saw this kit at Bimmerfest and I like it a lot, you guys did a great job, great #'s and Roman is a heck of a nice guy. Can't wait to see it in action!

GreenPlease · 08-02-2009, 10:26 PM

Look at those power and torque curves. Beautiful.

shaunt · 08-02-2009, 11:54 PM

I'm glad that I've decided on which SC to get when I get my E92 LCI M3 in March..

shaunt · 08-02-2009, 11:58 PM

oh and expected 0-60?

icemang17 · 08-03-2009, 12:58 AM

WOW great kit for a fair price..... So the DCT is rated for 443ftlbs....thats good to know....

Heres a ??? what about those of us in the Republic of California where the smog nazis ruin all our fun? Will the kit be CARB approved with an Executive Order # eventually?

MrHarris · 08-03-2009, 04:33 AM

I love that torque curve. Just keeps climbing! Must make the M3's acceleration feel more exciting and less linear (in a good way).

FattyK · 08-03-2009, 09:14 AM

what brand supercharger does ESS uses for the m3 kit?

Ryan@IND · 08-03-2009, 09:44 AM

Congrat Rom3n and to the crew at ESS.
Can't wait to see this on some of the cars on here!

dynojet dyno machine always give a really high hp.probably you should try running on dyno mustang or dyno dynamics.those 2 are the closest u can get.

If my mind serves me, buying a new car in Cali will give you 6 years before you have to smog test the car (renewal by mail).
If you decide to sell the car after 3 or 4 years of ownership then you have to provide a smog certificate to the buyer and the buyer is hosed for smog checks from there on forward every other year.

Check the Kali DMV website for reference

If you are worried about precise absolute numbers then you should put it on an engine dyno...
