bubelas New Blue Car: LSB e46 m3 maxing out a 66mm Precision Turbo

[Z3speed4me]

I remember getting a ride in that car from Mike years ago when it was first buttoned up and I lived down the shore... thing was scary fast!

It's pretty nutty. I assume that was on 93. I swapped the white cars fuel system on to the blue car. I only run e85 in it and it now makes another 100 torques and hps.

What tires and when do you get traction?

[bubela]

Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S Racing Radial Tire - P275/40R17

I have too much air in them to hook well apparently. At 30PSI, they're still lose at higher speeds. Haven't aired them down to 20 yet.

[bubela]

Aired them down to 18psi last night at Atco.

Nice!

What is the turbo in the car? I know the title is 66mm, but precision has a 64mm and a 67mm.

[bubela]

Has the little PT6466.

The second (200k mile) differential didn't really like running 10's at 140+ mph so I asked Thayer (more like forced) him to build a differential for me. He then asked Clay, and Clay said yes! I sent him an e46 m3 differential and an e39 M5 center section. Ordered a pair of e34 M5 axle stubs from Dan at Diffsonline, and I have this. Hopefully it lasts a year or two.

Im sure it'll last, I had a 2.93 188mm diff from them for a long time, put 850-900whp through it for a while, and broke a few stubs before going to a 210.

That's good to hear! I probably won't really find out until spring. I'm the kind of dumb that would push this car on a cold day and crash it. I learned that lesson with my ti a decade ago. (I only killed a wheel)

I added a Turner aluminum belly pan to the car. I used their bracket for the passenger side but had to make a "slight" modification to it. =)

This was the first time I've tig'd aluminum outside of practice. I'm too embarrassed to show the final picture, but was surprised that it didn't budge and seems to be strong enough for the job. We'll see if I have to do re-do this again some day.

does anyone currently offer a e46 m3 turbo kit?

I’d guess people didn’t want to pay for a properly engineered kit.

I've seen somewhere that MaxPSI turbo kit V2 might be coming, can't remember where..

Looking good Bob!

[bubela]

Thanks Colb!

I think you just have to drive over to BimmerClinic, put your car onto a lift, pull Mike off his go cart and tell him that you want a turbo on your M3. He'll go to the shelf, football toss the turbine from the shelf towards your car, and then you're boosting.

It was once widely known, some would say ancient knowledge from the story books, that Mike Radowski could spin kick a turbocharger straight out of orbit, to under the hood of an E46 M3, and have it triple it's power output in the blink of ones checking account. Those cars he blessed were coveted.

What would have cost 15-25k to build a 500whp car in 2012, now you buy a new car, upload a 500$ tune and you have a reliable 500whp car !
