I cant wait to see 93oct results... mmmmmmmm speed

Shiv, have you done any installs in NoCal yet? There must be some local guys up there who have taken advantage of the free install and tune. Any updates, Dynos yet?

wow
2rd video from vishnu

"With cat-back exhaust and Xede on 91oct"

[lcrain]

That speed is intoxicating. I really want to get a 335 and do this (these) modifications.

[wahoo]

Shiv, Have you timed 0-60 yet? If not, whats a best guesttimate? 4.5secs? :rocks:

It's hard to tell exactly when the launch begins, I timed it over and over again and I keep getting very close to 4.3 seconds. Not sure how accurate that is, but I tried!

[sstarch1]

Thats pretty accurate.

0-60 rarely tells the whole story (or any of it) for modern cars these days. I know some people find that to be the most 'real' test of a car (as most driving is done around this speed) but I feel that a better test of a car's improvement in acceleration is 0-100 or 0-130 or even 150. 0-60 these days can be done with only 1 shift in some high power cars (or zero for some supercars) where it requires 2 shifts for other high horsepower cars. Shifting twice kills 0-60 and can give a false impression of the cars true behavior. Lots of cars can get to 60 today at a pretty good pace. 0-100 and beyond is a different story.

why is the blinker on in the 2nd vid

[e92law]

Show that the vid isn't sped up?

Shiv,

My car is finally on order. Isn't it time for Take 4? Get me through the wait. Actually from LA, but staying in Danville area later this week for work. May need to stop by the shop.

While that seems optimistic, I bet there is much more to be had with downpipes and custom tune on 93 octane...

[335i=:)]

If it's doing 0-60 in 4.2 then it will probably do the quarter in high 12's. I bet with sticky tires or lsd it would be identical to the m5 0-60 4.1 1/4 in 12.4, shiv was spinning wheels in the begginning of the video

lol... I started the run on the side of the road. So I had to launch, merge, shift and film at the same time. I ran out of hands so I left the blinker on. But e92law does make a great point as it proves that nothing was speed up in video editing

Shiv, Have you timed 0-60 yet? If not, whats a best guesttimate? 4.5secs?

I've timed roll-on type launches. Pretty much the same kind of stuff you'd do on the street. With normal, non-abuse driving, it routinely hits 60mph in 4.1-4.3 seconds. With some prep (stickier surface, different tires, practiced launch, etc.) it could probably shave off a tick or two. Pretty darn quick for a non AWD car!

Take 4 will come soon. SEMA@Vegas got in the way of things so we're just getting caught up with the rest of our work. Seems like a lot of people are waiting for delivery. I hope to be seeing all you guys Shoot me a PM if you want to drop by and drive our test car.

Great to hear But 400whp is going to be a tall order for the stock turbos. I don't think we're ever going to hit that without the use of methanol/race gas/cams/bigger turbos/etc,. Torque, however, may very well hit the 400lb-ft mark (at the wheels) with some extra work here and there. Torque is something smaller turbos do so well. Especially with higher octane.

Cheers,

4.1-4.3 0-60 is the same speed as the Porsche GT3. Amazing work shiv.

Absolutely fantastic! I'm glad you're dedicating all of this effort to figuring out the new ECU, and it's also very cool of you to publish as you go along, I think that disclosure of your progress along the way is super important.

I can't wait to see one of these making 700+ on a stock motor!

Holy crap I can't believe the views and posts in this thread. Can't wait for Update #4!
