[M tastic]

[MrBlonde]

Oh my oh my, what a sweet setup. I think my days as the quickest M Coupe are numbered with such a bad street car on the way. I guess it's only fair the best man should win though!

Go ICS! Go!

[ken_vs_ryu]

-jon

[///BimmerPower]

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing the final result!

[Geoff.T]

That car will be a death trap. Big power in a snappy Chassis. I'm not saying I wouldn't drive it though.

[card counter]

Looking good

[ebydrc]

looks like its coming along, will you guys produce more of the TT manifolds?

[Juicy Double]

brian, what size turbos are you planning to use?

[FastrTHNu]

I want that!

[KarlSpackler]

[Armo95]

ICS needs to put a twin turbo on my car ...

[Z3speed4me]

wow you guys never cease to amaze me...

that subframe is gonna need like titanium reinforcement if my stock 1.9er blow it to pieces haha

def wanna see more pics of that engine bay though it looks pure SEX!!!



and on what people have asked...i think they are gt28's and also they did say it was a one time thing, unless it worked out real well, then they might do it, but ill wait for an ICS rep's official response, as this is only from memory

[M-crazy]

ICS Performance @ its best !!!!:buttrock

[xjeeper]

Personally I would like to see a rear mount vtg turbo!

[Captain]

They also mentioned a rear mount turbo in an upcoming project so stay tuned, and there is another company working on a post cat turbo system for the "3 series" although they did not specify which chasis.

Is there an echoe in hear...

[highboostingm3]

That would be good for Armo95. Space is tight for twins on the V8 but a rear mount would still spool fine due to all that exhaust gas and not having to build new manifolds plus being smog legal after cat would be a win win win fttw(for teh triple win). :buttrock

Oh snap, a spy has infultrated the ICS compound.... In all seriousness, don't be surprised should something like that roll out of here, we have been talking about it for quite some time now :devillook

[Brian@POG]

OK OK, here is another pic that doesn't let the cat out of the bag in terms of the manifolds which, I must say are absolutely insane!!!

My buddy was going to buy rear mount twin turbo to through on his C5 Z06. Pretty impressive numbers. The company that is behind all of this is STS (http://www.ststurbo.com). He told them about my M3 and they said they developed a kit for it and someone in the North West (Oregon area) put in a large order for a group of guys. I don't plan on getting one or any FI in the next couple months at all ($$) but might be an attractive option for some especially in California.

Alright! That's it! Who is doing your welding? What the hell? Now you have a tuner that tunes Motec, Haltec, Tec, possibly Autronic, EFI and more plus you have a TIG welder now that makes beautiful pieces of art manifolds and other pretty piping welds?:eyecrazy Are you working on a monopoly or what? :nono :lol :redspot

Next thing you'll be doing is your own custom tranny adapter plates, custom engine mounts, custom oil pumps and custom oil pans so that you can mount the engines vertically to fit GT47-88 turbos on top like the Supras! :rolleyes :D

did you guys ever get my pm a few weeks ago detailing this idea? I never got a response..... been wanting to do this for 2 years now, just waiting for a GOOD DIY tuning option to be released but it hasnt happened yet.

[and1c]

Personally I would like to see a rear mount vtg turbo!


WTF is a VTG turbo??? (A BIG one???)

nb// great work ICS...but we still wanna see the exhaust manifolds :)

WTF is a VTG turbo??? (A BIG one???)
Variable Turbine Geometry, as found on the new 997tt. It is the ability of the turbine fins to change according to exhaust flow: providing both a solid low end, while altering the fin geometry for high-end flow. (the best of both worlds :buttrock )

[xjeeper]

the gist of my p.m. was explaining how vtg turbos as found on most diesels (holsets for cummins and gt37's for super duty fords) arent suitable for gasoline engines due to the higher egt's found with gasoline. (the new porsche 997tt uses new borg warner turbo's that utilize special high temp ceramics that make the turbo able to withstand higher temperatures.

The benefit to the rear mount vtg is that (according to STS) rearmount turbos see about 500 degree lower egt's thus making a vtg mounted in the rear a perfect fit for a gasoline engine. These turbo's can be found relatively cheap and are capable of BIG power. The vtg will take care of spooling it, theoretically it should make full boost before 2k rpm's

[Brian@POG]

FYI, the last pic post I made will be the last for "Black Betty"... She will be getting coverage in one of the Primedia mags.

[Z3speed4me]

well be sure to let us know which mag....so we can all buy it!!!

[LextanEuroAuto]

wow !! good job i love those 2 turbos up top !
