99 E36 M3 S52 PTE6262 Turbo Build (Let's Try This Again) (Butters Built)

[m3boost]

just for reference. with 459rwhp, I ran a 7.63 at 96mph in the 1/8...it was with my old set-up of aa turbo manifold with a gt35r

[E36Mylo]

What about the heavy duty driveshaft and 210mm diff and drag radials?

I don't know if I wanna go that far yet with it. It's not a drag car, i just do it for fun. I don't want too much added noises or for the car to become a chore to drive. And also those two things are very expensive.

Work on the driver first. You can shave that 60 foot time down to a 1.9 on street tires with enough practice. That should put you well into the 11s. 120 mile an hour trip speed should be good for mid 11s with traction.

Oh I know it doesn't exactly NEED these things per say, but my axles and rear end are all very very worn out. 160k miles on everything almost and the car knows it very well. It's really more for confidence than anything.

This was just at my current settings on the base tune still. I could've put the boost up even more if I wanted without the meth but I decided 120 was my goal for yesterday.

4L80 will be next upgrade, would shave a lot of time off.

Sorry for being a noob but what's a 4L80?

Probably not at our track.

I've done 2 1.8s and a few 1.9s when the car was NA full bolt on. I'm scared of doing it now because I'm scared of breaking something. I'll feel a lot more confident once we refresh the rear end and get the new axles in there.

GM automatic transmission.

[E36Mylo]

GM automatic transmission.

Ahh thanks, yea no I'll never go auto on this car. Before ever turning it into a drag car I'd just buy a rolling fox body shell and throw a turbo ls in it.

Were those times just on wastegate spring still? or is the boost controller dialed in to something a little higher?

No this is with the bc on. On my second setting, I'm probably at about 18-19 psi now. I have the over boost shutdown set to 19.5.

1.8 or 1.9 at Epping on street tires is impressive. Maybe it was due to the lack of power. Keep trying and maybe you will succeed again. I gave up on street tires there years ago.

Yeah, his 1.8 and 1.9's got him towed to me. Broken driveshaft and broken diff bolt.

yea that wasn't fun. lol which is why I'm terrified of doing it again. I've twisted the driveshaft right at the line, broken the shifter and broken the diff bolt on this car all within a week before when it was only making half the power it makes now. I can cut that 60' down significantly, that isn't the problem. The problem is making sure I drive the car home afterwards.

here's one of those runs against a c7 stingray. lol I was beating him to the 60' all night long.

[Butters Stoch]

Nicely done.

Thank you, will do. And yes he is. He's the man!

[E36Mylo]

Went up to the track last Friday to see if I can better my last E.T and mph before we upgrade the rear end and add the meth and wasn't disappointed. This was the first pass as soon as I got there. This is 18 or so psi, no meth. Pump 93

[E36Mylo]

This was the tail end of that pass

Awesome dude, can't wait till you add in the meth and some more boost, job well done, very good results

[boostd4]

That's a solid 11 second pass with some traction. My LS1 RX7 went 11.621@122.28mph with a 1.853 sixty foot time (was on 275/30/19 Yokahama Advans)

Yea I've been Babying it off the line so it won't break anything but it's funny to see it trapping the same thing 11 second cars trap. Lol

Yea can't wait man. We'll be upgrading the rear end and adding the meth kit soon. Then I'll go back and see what it can do at real boost levels.

I like the progress. Its definitely a nice feeling to drive to the track, have a ton of fun, then cruise home at the end of the night.

That's the most important thing to me. Drove the car 400 miles yesterday round trip to an event in west Lebanon NY with no hiccups at all.

[E36Mylo]

Alright so, a couple updates since the last time. Basically decided all in one conversation with butters that it's not even worth wasting time and shying away from the big boy stuff. Picked up a dss driveshaft, 210 diff, rally road conversion kit, built HD axles and now we're going to be putting it in.

















Everything's PURPLE!!!!
