Kenny:
Thanks for the list! That is great! I didn't know that Andreas pulled that insane #8 spot. Can you tell me what car/engine setup he used?

[and1c]

Cameron...

Andreas was using his E21 M20 turbo engined car.....built on a very low budget iirc :D

Like well under $10k ....(may be wrong on this figure but I'm 99% sure I read it by Andreas somewhere)

Andy, yeah I can't see it .. or the other movie posted later. Hmm, I've got the Windows Media Player V9 for OS X .. what gives?

[MrBlonde]

Updated the list and split it into Racecars and Street Cars.

Included Gene Liu in Street Cars to keep Matt happy :-)

Added Vidar Strand on Alan's report and Justin's pass bassed on his posted timeslip.

[and1c]

Andy, yeah I can't see it .. or the other movie posted later. Hmm, I've got the Windows Media Player V9 for OS X .. what gives?

Mmm...very strange.....
Have you downloaded all updates and new codecs from within the media player....i think its help menu...> updates

If that doesnt work try right clicking the link...save target as (in windows)...then run it from your pc...
I will post .mov files later today when I get to a machine with the right software on

[MrBlonde]

Andy .. the upgrade fixed it, thanks.

[and1c]

Andy .. the upgrade fixed it, thanks.

excellent....Vidar strands is quite a run yes :)

[MrBlonde]

Monster pass, seems like a Powerglide and drag radials. The car hooks mildly and just hammers harder and harder as it progresses down the strip.

[and1c]

I will post up the movie of where his engine let go at another swedish strip...
its sick :eek:

Still not back out there on the strips as far as I am aware?

yep, powerglide for strip, and last I heard, no tubs and stock M5 diff with billet axles (still IRS) 1250hp at flywheel + 250 shot of NOS, also rear exit exhaust

Oh man that number one spot for street car is looking like it needs to be broken.:devillook

[gol10dr1]

question kenny..........what are you determining as a street car vs. a race car. from some of your previous posts i was thinking you would divide it into cars with huge rear ends and slicks but some of the cars on the race car list have no interiors and cages like dado's. just wondering. great list btw.

[card counter]

Oh man that number one spot for street car is looking like it needs to be broken.:devillook

I can tell you right now if we (americans)dont get off our butts and get some real parts as in high hp stuff we will never break any big records.The diffrence is we take what companys make and try to push more than what it is made for.Look at Hammerstrom and Andreas when they need a part they fabricate not just to the needs of what they want but even more then what is needed these guys are not looking for a company to do things they are taking matters in there own hands and for us to be competative we will have to do the same.A couple time a week I wilkl make calls to companys and research things on who makes what for whom in the last 3 months I have found a company that will make turbo gaskets for our car with fire rings
that right fire rings they will seal up to 70 psi,I found a company that will make a adaptor for our engines to bolt to a Gm transmision,a company that will make HD axles Gauranteed not to brake,also a company that will make a turbo manifold fully flowed and tested (they make them for some of the top import drag racers)and a few other things.

What Im trying to find now is a company that can make a 1450 splicer yoke fit on a bmw trans.Like I said some days I will spend way to much time on
the phone but if that what it takes then so be it I want to move High Hp
bmw's in to the supra realm and this is the kind of stuff it wil take.

Sorry about the rant some days I have to let it out.

Good rant mate :D

I agree too...for Bimmers to approach Supra territory more people have got to get more radical :evil2 and then knowledge on the "best" big hp techniques needs to be built upon and fabricated upon until Beemers rule the world!!!!

Sorry. Im ranting now...

Andrew, I included my thoughts on what makes a race car vs a street car at the bottom of the post. It's always controversial to draw the line somwhere, but if you don't try then you end up with full tube chassis racecars being compared to cars that people here drive day to day.

With Dado's car it has no window glass and the exhaust is routed under the floor pan to exit about a foot after the dump pipe. If you've seen it then you know it's gutted.

[MrBlonde]

It's not hard to smash the current 8.3 record with a racecar. You don't even need a full tube chassis, a half chassis will do. Here's the shopping list:

+ E30/E21/2002 half chassis
+ 33x17 slicks
+ Powerglide w/ transbrake and line locker
+ S38/S52 or S50 engine with standalone ECU
+ VP C16
+ Ford 9" live axle
+ GT42R turbo

If that doesn't smash 8.3 then you're not really trying. The only think stopping the Vikings from clobbering this record is that they stick with S14s for the most part. The ex Gene Liu racecar will be here soon and will stomp the current record.

i've seen the thing. i use to chill at his house occasionally and when i last saw it up close it was more of a street machine. at that time it still had stock glass, 2 carbon race seats and the interior was gutted but i think he did a more thorough cleaning of the interior since i last saw it. Not sure but i think it also had an turbo exhaust all the way back and not the side dump that he has now. the car came a long way since then but then he hurt the motor and it has been in the shop for a long time i guess awaiting new parts. not sure what takes 16 months to get or fabricate though.

[Aeroboost]

shit an e30 running low 10's is crazy

[MrBlonde]

yep, powerglide for strip, and last I heard, no tubs and stock M5 diff with billet axles (still IRS) 1250hp at flywheel + 250 shot of NOS, also rear exit exhaust
Alan it's got Lexan front windscreen and clip on carbon fibre front end! Check out the fuel system hardware in the boot, very impressive.

Can anyone who knows these cars better than me comment on the engine setback?

[Bmwandreas]

Engine is like mine.

3.8lit M5 engine, Autronic ECU, ITS 80mm turbo.
Ported head,wild cams.

1130hp at 1.6 bar.

[gol10dr1]

andreas, i thought he used an 88mm turbo?

[Bmwandreas]

I&#180;m almost sure on 80mm.

Name of the turbo is ITS GT80

[BMWSOB]

This is a great thread!! 11.85 @118 e30 325 turbo at around 18psi. Currently building a 2.7 and upping the boost. Looking for low tens..... slicks to come also. This is currently a street car. Possibly turning into a race car on the street.

here's the timeslip: http://www.rmotorsport.com/saku/aikakortti%20075.jpg

The car is probably the fastest BMW in the world with independent suspension and is street legal too. Exhaust at the rear, Original windshield+other windows, M5 gearbox, M5 rear axle, Everything is street legal and in the registration papers. To top it off it looks like a bone stock e30 316. Same guy is building a twin turbo e30 with a bmw v12 powerplant and some other cool stuff. Crazy guy and deserves to be on your list for sure.

[EuroBeast]

It's not hard to smash the current 8.3 record with a racecar. You don't even need a full tube chassis, a half chassis will do. Here's the shopping list:

+ E30/E21/2002 half chassis
+ 33x17 slicks
+ Powerglide w/ transbrake and line locker
+ S38/S52 or S50 engine with standalone ECU
+ VP C16
+ Ford 9" live axle
+ GT42R turbo

If that doesn't smash 8.3 then you're not really trying. The only think stopping the Vikings from clobbering this record is that they stick with S14s for the most part. The ex Gene Liu racecar will be here soon and will stomp the current record.

Minimum weight for the class is 1150kg, that's what is keeping them from going faster. The s14's are way over 1000hp so plenty of power in those 4-bangers :) Pretty bold to claim it an easy record to stomp if you keep the car within the official specs but it is not impossible.. When are you getting the car?

I'm not building a car like that, I'm just pointing out the formula required. The specs you're talking about aren't world wide (eg 1150 kg weight break).

Spoke to Kaizu, the car is a street car and will go on the list now :-)

I'm sure that is a full exhaust that runs all the way to the rear of the car.

[MrBlonde]

Might need to do some thinking about widebody conversions. It's a definitely advantage because larger rubber can be fitted, however those street cars with widebody don't seem to belong with wheel tubbed and G-Force'd racecars. Maybe a separate list for them? Will think about it.

In the rotary ranks there is an unoffical class known as "untubbed" .. meaning no wheel tubs, no mini tubs and no widebody. It became so hard to police that they ended up just setting a maximum slick size. I think it was either 26"x10" or 28"x9". As long as you go no larger, you're deemed to be "untubbed". Also worth thinking about because George K and Cameron both have these type of cars .. maybe more coming.

I have no problem going with an agreed maximum tire size. That sounds like a great idea! Then the widebody thing is irrelevant.

Thats it when I get done plowing the back forty and hanging some new curtains in my pick up Im gonna get you.Here are some things to remember
1 .Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if the gun is loaded and the deer is in sight.
2. When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires does not always have the right of way.
3. Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4. When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is impolite to ask her to bring back some Marlboro's too.
5. Do not lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

I have one question - is there ROLLOUT on drag strips that you run , because local dragstrip do not use ROLLOUT and times are 0.3-0.5sec slower than with a 20centimeter rollout ...
Here is a little preview of my drag car - maybe I will have 1/4mile times in month but I aim high 10

I'm not really sure who this is, maybe someone can identify him... but he ran a VERY fast time (8.83)...

Yeah I did want to mention it is pretty amazing that you aren't using anti-lag or 2-step of any kind. You just burn, rev and dump. What can I say? You are the BMW king. Couldn't imagine what you could do if you had anti-lag and c16 with a 88mm compressor wheel. :)

George how about some clarification? What size Mickey Thompsons did you run under the blue car? Looks like they are right out to the edge of the widebody which makes it a widebody car and not a street car.

The alignment is what gives you that impression. The widebody panels are molded onto the stock quarters. I'll try to take a better picture next time around. The tires are 255/50/16 Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials...

Those widebody panels aint so wide. I used similar panels at first and without tampering with them I scratched my head thinking, "These only help from maybe 255 - 275. The reason being is that now the quarter pops out from top and comes straight down where the stock comes at an angle and then has a decent flare. They end up pretty close in clearance so truthfully the only difference is aesthetics. Plus with this car you can see the stock rear bumper and stockish side skirts are used without having to modify. I ended up having to have special mounting brackets and a ton of fabricating to widen the quarters I had to fit decent rubber back there on my car.

These look like the same MTs that would fit under stock body work. If you agree, I will be purchasing the same e30 m3 rims and tires for my car when it is ready for the strip.

[jonsibal]

Kenny, if you're gonna have a Widebody Street Class, you have to put Gene Liu in there as well. When he made that 10 sec pass, he was running a Zeemax widebody kit.

George's rear quarter panel looks to be an ACS CLS widebody, which isn't as wide as Zeemax. But nevertheless, still wider than stock. But your car can probably have as much or more meat in your stock MCoupe body than an ACS widebody equipped car.

[ICS Performance]

They are not e30 m3 wheels, they came off of an e38. Thats the reason why the car is so jacked up in the back...I still have the stock panels under them.

[highboostingm3]

I apologize. Them being e38 wheels makes sense as to why the offset is the way it is. I was only talking about the quarters in that way to help support the fact that you qualify for the street car list. Even though I can fit wider wider rubber as can you when you cut the stock quarter panel, I will run tires that fit under the stock e36 body so I can qualify for the street list as well.

As far as comparing a widebody e36 to an M Coupe as far as what tire it can fit...I tried that tactic with Kenny but he says it doesn't matter. If you want 315 width and have it qualify for the street list, you need to purchase an M Coupe I guess.

Happy to class it as unmodified bodywork as long as you can fit 255/50R16 under a stock E36? Anybody done this? The advantage of extra track doesn't really matter I don't think.

Cameron, it might not seem to make sense to you, but it's well accepted in drag racing for street cars that modifying the bodywork or chasiss to fit larger rubber changes your class.

In rotary circles they call it the "untubbed" class which means you can't change the chassis or bodywork to fit larger rubber.

I think if somebody else has raced their unmodified car with a certain set of rubber then it can be used on a widebody car and still have it in the street car class. Else it's in the widebody streetcar class.

Or look at it this way; if bigger rubber was no advantage then why do people do it?

It makes more sense now. I realize now that the entire reasoning behind it is stock or OEM. Doesn't matter if a Corvette can fit 335s and an e30 can fit 225s...it must stay stock to be considered stock class. So I was stating that I tried that tactic but that was before you helped me realize what it's really about which I now respect. If it is modified, it is in the modified class = no longer stock (unless stock sized rubber is used where the small exception is valid).

I fit a 245/50/17 under my car so I am sure those would fit. Most of the problem is the 20mm offset difference between stock and those wheels.

With proper offset, that set up would fit nicely inside the fenders

[MrBlonde]

I fit a 245/50/17 under my car so I am sure those would fit.

Karl, are you sure about the 50 series? 245/50 R17 are 9.6" wide and 26.6" tall. Take a tape measure across your rear wheel arch as see if 26.6" fits.

+ Tread width 8.0" (Can fit on rims 7"-9")
+ 26.0" tall and 82" circumference
+ Sidewall width: 9.5"

+ 26.0" tall and 82" circumference
+ Sidewall width: 10.5"

Alan if you read this can you confirm how much extra space you have inside and outside? Would 1.0" more sidewall width fit?

George, your ET Streets have 1.7" more tread width and are 1.0" wider in the sidewall .. so they are a lot bigger than Alan's.

Mike, it would be very worthwhile fitting 26"x10"-15 if they fit .. but I don;t think they would fit under stock e36 bodywork. 26"x8.5"-15 are good enough to run 8s in other cars .. naturally a lot harder than with 26"x10".

RHS tyre just rubs on hard launch (1.7x-1.8x) with lips fully rolled flat and very firm rear springs, I have not checked clearance on inside to see if different offset would help, I will check if I get time in next couple of days

Whoops your'e right, it was a P275/35 R18. It seemed thicker then my street tires in 35 though. Anyways, those tires fit pretty well (on my stock 18's) but im going to get rid of my rear brembo kit and put the stockers on so i can fit some 17's. Im really confused with all the numbers and measurements. I know some guys have had HRE build them 19'' bling wheels to fit 305 tires, im wondering if i could get a 17" wheel with a less aggressive offset and fit some wide tires on them.

Vik,

Mickey Thompson makes a 17" ET Street tire that is basically a full on drag slick with groves on it to make it DOT approved. This is NOT a drag radial, it behaves very much like a full on slick. The recommended wheel size is 17" by 11", for the 26" by 11.5" tire. (9.5" tread width/11.1" sidewall width)

On my 330Ci, I've ground down the stock calipers to make a 16" by 9.5" wheel fit, with Mickey Thompson ET Street 26" by 10.5" tires. (8.4" tread width/10.3" sidewall width.) They also make a 26" by 11.5" version of this tire that I've considered. (9.7" tread width/10.8" sidewall width)

The fenders on my coupe had to be rolled quite a bit to make the 26X10.5s fit, but I'm confident that it would fit under the M3 with a minor amount of fender work if any.

Another option that I'm considering is a custom "race" caliper/rotor combo from UUC Motorwerks. (309.6mm rotor/4 piston fixed caliper) The down side to this setup is that it doesn't have room for a stock parking brake mechanism. Caliper pistons can be custom sized to balance out brake bias with most front brake systems used. I have a slight advantage with chosing this combo because I'm also going to be running a Tilton pedal/master cylinder setup that allows f/r brake pressure to be adjusted. I'm unsure if this setup will support 15" wheels, but that would be my aim in using it so that I can graduate to "real" drag slicks in the future.

Vik, if that size fits then I'd recommend one of the following, all for 15" wheels. You may need to change your rear and front calipers to fit 15" wheels. Just do it, don't even think twice about it.

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial part number 3752R -> 235/60 R15
+ Sidewall width: 9.5"
+ Tread width: 8.0"
+ Height: 26"

Mickey Thompson ET Street part number 3752 -> 26"x10.50"-15
+ Sidewall width: 10.5"
+ Tread width: 8.3"
+ Height: 26.1"

Mickey Thompson ET Drag part number 3052 -> 26"x8.5"-15
+ Sidewall width: 9.9"
+ Tread width: 8.1"
+ Height: 25.9"


The ET Drag would give you the best short times, followed by ET Street and lastly ET Street Radial.

E46 coupe on 16" rim:

Mickey Thompson ET Street part number 3792 -> 26x10.50-16
+ Sidewall width: 10.3"
+ Tread width: 8.4"
+ Height: 25.9"

Kenny,

Part # is correct.

Wheels are Centerlines with a custom offset,and a GM 5 by 4.75" bolt pattern which is very close to 5 by 120mm.

My fenders have been rolled a lot, and the fender liners removed. This was done to fit my road racing wheels; there seems to be more clearance with the forementioned slicks. (E46 Non-M coupes have smaller rear fender wells than E46 M3s. (Non-M coupes have a limit of 265mm tires, where M3s are able to fit 285s) Pictures below show the car launching with MTs:

My best 60 ft times were in the 1.7s with 230rwhp, so the tire definitely works.


Going with smaller rear brakes to run 15" wheels is a great idea, especially with the power that you guys are making. I think Vik is looking to be in the 8XX area to start... (Correct me if I'm wrong Vik)

Adam

Not any time soon I think kurt has the same size tire on his m3 4door as george.

Kurt, can you confirm you've fitted and raced the following rubber under stock E36 M3 bodywork?

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial part number 3793R -> 255/50 R16

[bigugly]

What Im trying to find now is a company that can make a 1450 splicer yoke fit on a bmw trans.



please call Jesse at High Angle Driveline in california. he handles all of my driveshaft needs for my 4x4's, and is VERY well known in the 4x4 community for awesome service and products.

pm me if you need help contacting him, and before calling him

[TaZaM3]

Vik, if that size fits then I'd recommend one of the following, all for 15" wheels. You may need to change your rear and front calipers to fit 15" wheels. Just do it, don't even think twice about it.

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial part number 3752R -> 235/60 R15
+ Sidewall width: 9.5"
+ Tread width: 8.0"
+ Height: 26"

Mickey Thompson ET Street part number 3752 -> 26"x10.50"-15
+ Sidewall width: 10.5"
+ Tread width: 8.3"
+ Height: 26.1"

Mickey Thompson ET Drag part number 3052 -> 26"x8.5"-15
+ Sidewall width: 9.9"
+ Tread width: 8.1"
+ Height: 25.9"


The ET Drag would give you the best short times, followed by ET Street and lastly ET Street Radial.


Will the 8" width's be sufficient enough? I wonder what 15" wheel i can get to fit these. The offset must be right or it would be hard to fit the tire on the car. I will look into the 15'' inch setup but i might settle with a 17'' setup for the time being. Actually im going to LACR on the 13th but all i have for now is the BFG's in 18's again.

What would be my option for 17''s?

There goes my drivetrain....

Vik, do not be fooled: an 8.1" tread width ET Drag slick will stomp all over a 10.9" tread width drag radial in R18.

Andres, can you confirm you've fitted and raced the following rubber under stock E36 M3 bodywork?

[Bmwandreas]

No i don´t thing they fit under stock fenders.

We often use ET street 10.5x26" on E36

[MrBlonde]

On that basis George's pass stays under widebody class.

[MrBlonde]

Go Mike!

Obviosly I've fitted them (pics). I haven't gotten a chance to race on them because of motor issues. But I weighed down the car (couple of people sitting in the truck proly 350lbs) to see if it would rub and it doesn't, comes close to the little lip on the inside of the body work but has some room.

I did let someone use the wheels on thier M3 at the boosted bimmers unite meet. His car was pretty low and they had to be cambered. Still did not rub much on his.

Andre let me run these things. If I couldn't have adjusted the camber, I'm not sure they would have fit.

They are badass.

Kenny, do you think you could add wheel offset and if a spacer(size) was used when the tire was run?

i asked before, but my post was erased?


where do you get those 16 inch contour rims? i need two :)

Andres, you're sure ... stock bodywork .. no tricks ... 255/50 R16?

[trthrrt489]

I ran Andres wheels that day. My body work is %100 stock. I had to put a lot of negative camber on the wheels to make them fit, but, they worked.

If my fenders were rolled, I bet I would have been fine with a small amount of negative camber.

-Dave

[HyperHoHo]

Negative camber + drag racing = no good!

I have 15" e30 m3 rims coming my way Kenny. You tell me what rubber is legal for "the list" and that's what I will purchase and run! :buttrock

Click on the link in my sig for the info for best fitment for drag racing (OEM bodywork and best known):



With 15" rim:

Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial part number 3752R -> 235/60 R15
+ Tread width 8.0" (Can fit on rims 7"-9")
+ 26.0" tall and 82" circumference (VERY tight fit in wheel well)
+ Sidewall width: 9.5"
+ Credit: Alan (morerevsm3)


I wonder if MT ET Drag 26"x8.5"-15 would fit under stock bodywork?

Get ready to grind the hell out of your rear calipers if your running the stock M3 ones.

I read somewhere that it needs a "slight grind".............:nono I ground down the calipers for like 2 hours and I still cut the inner E30 M3 rim.

Unfortunately you only have a Mickey Thompson Street Radial. What about a full slick mate? I don't want no cunt of a street radial!

Those calipers are only for drag racing. I run BBK Stoptechs otherwise.

Nobody has posted up yet! I think Mickey Thompson ET Drag 26x8.5-15 would go close to fitting.

Nice! Somebody check that out for me. Hell I will jsut get them and try them on a car at Extreme Motorsports (http://www.extremems.com) to see if it fits under stock bodywork.

[Concentric190]

Andres, you're sure ... stock bodywork .. no tricks ... 255/50 R16?

Kenny, 100% Stock Suspension, 100& stock body work. Will not work properly on a lowered car without modifications.

That's what stopped me from putting some nice rubber on my E30 M3 wheels. Eventually I'll grind the suckers down but not yet. And I'd like a nicer 15" wheel anyway.

I have 2 more 16" wheels I'm planning on mounting 26x10.5 ET Drags on when my car is up to par.

Go John .. 11.8 @ 121 MPH

yay, i made the list. but now i feel slow again at only 19th place. Time to turn up the boost and work on that 60ft.:)

My brother Mike (325is bimmer) just ran a 11.691 @ 131.52 next to me last sunday. If you want to update it. I missed an 11 by .002 :(. 12.001 @ 123. Time for my dual stage. 24lbs once i hit 3rd gear. :)

Tell me about it. I'm at 12.045 @121

I ordered a set of MT ET Street Radials 235/60/15 today though.

I am running next weekend.

damnit, you guys are gunna force me to go out one more time this year to reserve my crummy spot at 19.:lol:

You don't have to worry about me.I'll be last in et but not in mph :alright

Damn I had a set of 16's I just sold,now I'll have to run 17 inch drag radials.DAMN DAMN

[MrBlonde]

Congratulations Mike! 11.6 @ 131 MPH

Kenny,
Awesome thread. You guys are taking Bimmers where the designers never intended...and that's killer!

I saw an earlier posting that you were thinking of keeping a list for us non-FI guys. Is that true? If so, where? Search brought up nothing. Inquiring minds would like to know!

Thanks, there is no separate list fo NA cars, however NA cars are welcome to join the list if they can run 11.999 or quicker.

[Gibber66]

Bummer. Highly unlikely I'll ever break 12s w/o FI and substantial financial support (LOL). You guys keep paving the way and I'll live vicariously...drooling from the sidelines. ;^)

Congratulations Mike! 11.6 @ 131 MPH

Thanks, hopefully i can get a lower 11 w/ better 60' time. I am still running a street tire Falken rt615 235/40/18 so a low 11 on street tires would be awesome. I also ran a 11.756 @124mph when i was on 15lbs of boost when a had a 2.0 60'. if i could get a 2.0 60' running 21psi it would be a huge difference. at 17psi i dynoed 602whp so i will have to seen what i dyno at 21psi.

i just ran a 9.1@153
