Do you really think meth is a must? I don't have a problem with meth just wondering.
With pump gas i would def say meth is a must.
Thanks so much for the help guys. You've been great help, really appreciate it. So glad I will be able to make the power I want with out breaking the bank too bad.
One more question for you actually. The SC61 is a journal bearing right? I have someone I know selling I believe it may be the same turbo he didn't give me any specs other then a journal bearing precision. I've heard some horror stories about them and don't know if I want to buy it from him or go with a ball bearing. Also don't journal bearings make less power because there not as easy to spin the turbine?
600-650 rwhp seems like a lot from a 2.5L on pump gas plus meth. Maybe with a larger turbo, but then you have more lag.

I think chris72798 has a 93 325i with 2.5L M50TU. S52 cams, 0.140 MLS and a whole lot of boost might get 600-650 rwhp but not sure a whole lot of boost goes well with pump gas plus meth. Maybe. The little motor won't make much torque so the rods are not so much of an issue. I would think a big turbo would be needed, which means response would not be so good.
Seems to me like nicely built 3.2L are making 650 at 25 psi on pump plus meth with midsize turbos like 6266 or GTX3582R. A bigger turbo should do it with a few psi less, but also with less response. Put the bigger turbo on a little 2.5L and it would be an all top end car with a small power band.
Yes it's a 2.5. And I don't mind a big turbo it's not a tra me car just a fun weekend car

Eventually I may 3.2 swap it but not at the moment

How is the F1 stage 4 holding up in this car? I didn't see anything about swapping clutches, or did I miss that. I didn't think it would hold this level of torque...

Clutch is holding well. Only had the stage 3 with stock dual mass flywheel and pressure plate t he first go round, but with chromoly flywheel and stage 4 I've had no problems

Finally got that new (to me) turbo on, downpipe is currently getting o2 bungs welded.

Borrowed my buddies lightweight wheels for springfest. Motegi mr120 18x8.5 et 20, 18x9.5 et32. The precision turbo feels alot better than those janky 50 trims, just need to retune a bit. At first i was seeing 15-14afrs at wot, added fuel from 3k-7k and got them down to 13-12afrs, haven't had time to dial it in better, just dont get into boost. Cruising still 14afrs. 20psi to come soon. Now to decide on methanol......

Dialed in my tune, or should i say street tune, and hit 20psi last week😆, seeing 11.5 afr at wot. Taught myself how to brake boost in 2nd doing 30mph, and now i want a 3.23 lsd

Finally got an lsd put in from a 95 m3, so swapped output flanges and driveshaft, easy install!

Finally finished my wheel refinish. I found a set of z3 style 19 fronts 17x7.5 et 41 for $100, then a couple months later found a set of e39 style 5s, 17x8 et 20 with 2 wheels bandly bent for $100. So i decided to make a staggered set. At first i was going to use the style 5 faces, but decided to do style 19s instead. Style 5s are everywhere.

Got some photos of the car set for Springfest, the one big show i can make each year and a couple on the raggedy mobile dyno. LTW rep wing, bbs style 19s installed, and raced my cousin in laws tuned 08 gt500 on the way back home.
Vid sucks, and the music got distorted when sent thru messenger. Turn vol down lol.

Your car looks gorgeous bro. The video makes me wish we had straight open roads like that here in the Northeast. Nothing like enjoying a job well done 👍
Moved the wastegate to get a better downpipe. Now, to find a fabricator since mine quit his job and cant be found.
Her current look. Shes down for a few changes and routine maintenance.
