Maximum PSI Stage 2 e46 M3 burning E85/E70; The pleasure of owning and driving.

same here, I would have turbocharged this instead of my E36 ! <img src="http://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=568440"/>

So this is accurate. About 14 gallons used. =)

The one from Regina was a scam ;-(

Isn't an M Coupe just a glorified premix between my wife's convertible and an E30?

Whatever it is.... it's appreciating faster than even the e30's at this point so I don't care
And this kit can be "made" to fit with some persuasion.

[bubela]

So... I still work on this car myself after Maximum PSI did all the work on the ethanol upgrade.

Worked out a deal with VAC for one of their ATI Super Dampers. I found that if you file the water pump pulley fan tool down a little, it can double as a crank holding tool as well!

Changed the oil while it was up and will soon have a different set of wheels on the car.

Do you take donations ?
I have an attic full of e36 engine parts, and misc items. I can't bring myself to throw it away nor do I have the time to sort it out and sell it. I could fill boxes of stuff. Pm me if you want

The road to being buried alive in BMW parts
is paved with good intentions.

Glad to see your biz is growing!

beautiful car... Man

Thank you sir. It's a pleasure.

Do you take donations ?

We take donations. Honestly, we do buy customers stuff that are in the same boat you are. Usually they are local. Converting an e36/e46 into a track car and dump their interior on us. It's much easier for them to say "here, sell this" and we give them pennies on the dollar. It's a bit of a pita to sell some of this stuff. Half of it we end up tossing ourselves. If you want to send me a list, I could save you the trouble of boxing up the items that I may just toss. Or, if it's easier for you.. box it and ship it!

Glad to see your biz is growing!

Thank you Ryan. We moved less than a mile from the shop you visited us at. The new one is about 5 times bigger, but we have almost no outside space for parking. Still, very happy with the upgrade. =)

This is running on some pretty crummy street tires. Can't wait to get some sticky tires on the car.

[someguy2800]

which lane?

[bubela]

Left lane was a worked Mustang Cobra on street tires. Said he was putting 675 to the wheels. It was fun to move past him at the end.

[Butters Stoch]

675 wheel trapping 123 ?
Sounds like 175+ over estimated.
132 with your e46 is bad ass.
Very impressive.

[bubela]

There's definitely more in this car. I had to pedal so much it wasn't funny. I'm known for going through the trap sideways, so I guess it's good I stayed straight. I was trying to avoid having two sets of tires for this car, but it seems to be inevitable.

The highlight of my night however was watching Donovan do this. Didn't even know he was going to be there.

[someguy2800]

way to go Donovan!

[Z3speed4me]

So some Mid 11's and 135ish if she can stick and you stay on it..... I'd say not so bad!!

[bubela]

12.0 is terrible if you ask me. I'm shooting for 10's. Basically, it's the tire. I also had some issues catching all the gears. Not sure if the clutch was releasing fully or my trans already hates me. (or/Driver)

Mike ran mid tens at 135mph. Don't know what PSI he was running to attain this. He was also on skinnies/slicks, which helps, a ton.

[Z3speed4me]

Well yea with some "real" tires 10's are in your future. Will the set from the other car fit?

[Butters Stoch]

I can run 14's at almost 140 !

[someguy2800]

The supra people have a joke. What the difference between a 600whp supra and a 1200whp surpra? 2 tenths.

[bubela]

Not sure if my other set will fit this car. I'll check it out.

The closest E70/E85 station is about 20 miles from me, so I put this together.



I couldn't get the caps open, so I made a special tool from a BMW sway bar and bolts. Perfect.
