Who has the strongest turbo E46 M3 on BimmerBoost?

[Sticky]

I'm just seeing which of our guys has the strongest turbo setup. I would like to do a comparison between a built motor E46 M3 turbo and my car. I don't care who wins or what, just want to make a great video for the community for fun. Win, lose, draw, whatever I'll buy the beers afterwards.

@Commanderwiggin and @ZooyorQ are the likely candidates. I am not sure if Marcus' car is running yet but Kenton's car seems to break hearts at these events even when he reverse sandbags!

If we could get a VTT STage 3 and a Vishnu ST in the mix that would be epic albeit a pipe dream.

I met @Commanderwiggin at Bimmerfest in front of the Max PSI tent. Said I was Sticky and shook his hand and he just sort of didn't say anything, was weird. What does his put down?

@ZooyorQ is a fairly cool dude so I wouldn't mind although I would enjoy beating him.

That will be a separate article/race.

Kenton is the infamous reverse sandbagging Imola Stage 2.75 who shook your hand at the Max PSI event apparently.

His car is well sort out for sure. I really admire the attention to EVERY detail both he and Marcus take. Should be fun for all.

[Sticky]

Who has the trap speed record for the E46 M3? Is that Marcus?

[Steve B. CBR]

Trap speed record is 145- 150 or iirc.

Belonging to whom?

[Steve B. CBR]

There's 2 or3 I know that hit 11's at 140+. I'll do some digging. The fastest 60-130 m3 being one of them.

11's at 140? that's a lot of speed.. shouldn't that be a low 10 with a good launch?

Most definitely.

All I know is that @ZooyorQ has a 142 mph pass at 10.5 or so I think. I don't know of anybody else here with anything quicker or faster for an E46 M3. Mert, don't jump in, I'm not going to Turkey.

[Payam@BMS]

What about Tazaa? And isnt Zooryorq at like 850whp? Can I be in the back and try to keep up?

[LostMarine]

id like to see a hp vs hp race 1st, ie 775 vs 775 and then whatever each one has just to see how the 2 platforms/trans/power delivery compare

[SexiPYm3]

Wasting no time trying to run the big dogs huh.. I agree with @LostMarine on seeing similar hp cars run each other. @ZooyorQ makes more power and his torque curve is better. So all he needs is traction and I'd imagine he'd walk right away. Same goes for @Commanderwiggin.

[Sticky]

He doesn't make more power and I'm not concerned about his torque curve.

Uh, no. E92 M3's have proven thus far they show much better performance per whp. Especially with the DCT.

Regardless, we'll see won't we?

[Brey335i]

Good luck finding someone. BMW owners seem so scared to lose that they often won't run at all unless they've stacked the deck so to speak.

[SexiPYm3]

IIRC, he is making 800+ to the wheels. Your car is one hell of an M3. Amazing project.... But I don't see it beating Marcus or Kenton in a roll race. But no one has seen your car moving, so who knows.

[SexiPYm3]

There are plenty of big hp E46 M3s that would run him. There are also plenty E46 M3s that make much more power than Sticky as well.

Well I mean it doesn't take a genius to figure out I'm right in that range with 18.5 psi...

I don't see why my WHP is somehow weaker. I see myself as more than capable of beating either I'll go with Marcus if he is up to it as it seems his E46 M3 is the strongest here.

I don't know if I would say "plenty" of E46 M3's. I mean who? Taza?

I mean I just want the comparison and would prefer to do it with the best we have.

ye, but all that ricer math would be a good argument in such high HP scenarios.. dct/tq multiplication , etc

[Sticky]

People can debate it as much as they want I'm not scared of an 8XX whp E46 M3 turbo or worried about the outcome either. I don't care either way, it's something people will want to see and be good exposure so whatever E46 owner has the balls to do it will be the one.

[Steve B. CBR]

This may actually be a great race. The dct will pull down low for sure. But once the m3 gets that boost hitting in a good gear, it's going to reel him in quickly. The benefit is sticky has that damn dct and a blower which will give him a solid jump on the hit.

That will be a separate article/race.

Kenton is me and for the record I shook your hand and asked you how your car was doing and I quote "It's a long story" and you turned around and went to the other side of the table. Would've loved to get into conversation about the YSI and DCT details but regardless it is what it is. I must've skipped the gintani booth as well but the event was huge I didn't even get to look at Taza's M3 either and who knows what else I missed...it was warm.
