Gentlemen.... and Gentle... erm.... ladies...

Just came accross this the other day, and well I thought I would share. What do you guys think? Worth it? Would you do it? Or is this just mindless American Hot Rodery which does belong on these here shores.....

Comments welcome Good or Bad....

Wont the engine fall to bits pretty early on with running all that extra power?

[doughboy]

very nice, nice roads too.

sounds a peach.

It May do, and I guess someone with a bit more technical knowledge could chime in. I know VF made a kit for a 2005 E46 M3 which had 500hp+. This one came with a new manifold and larger injectors.

But for fast road use do you see a problem?

It sounds like a V8 Minotaur or some kind of other angry man eating beast.

Nice.

I'd be worried about the DCT box tho. Can't handle big torque very well...

Is there not a guy on the US site with a single turbo 335i with 700bhp too?

Course it will. Anything that stresses the engine over a period beyond the manufacturer's design will have an effect. Like any tuning solution, unless major engine work takes place too. Engines are designed to work for a period of time with a certain output with certain environmental factors and fuel/servicing regimes.

Haven't watched it, but does it have a new gearbox a drive train too? Standard one won't last!

Yep shiv @ Vishnu.

But his is manual, with a heavy duty clutch they are pretty solid. Plus the big single produces lower torque than upgraded twins like RBs. DCT isn't strong enough for these numbers and the clutches can't be upgraded easily. Manual is the way to go if you want big hp in this platform..

G-Power have been supercharging the M3 for a while now.
Seems like it retains the linear power delivery of the original but as the guy said, brings the power of the car up to match the chassis.

Not sure why they went and put a rollcage in the back, looks a bit barry.

Shiv @ vishnu's car is absolute beast mode. but completely different it runs a single turbo at 15-18psi to produce 500hp approx on pump gas and then 16-22psi with methanol to produce 600hp+

The reason the VF Supercharged car is so appealing is that it runs such boost, 5-6psi for around 600hp+

Which does of course stress the internals but at a much lower rate.

Personally i'd much rather drop the E60 M5's V10 in the car like Manhart racing did - tuned to 550hp it is perfect. Love the fact they put the engine into a E91 conversion M3 as well - no supercharger just 550hp from a NA M power V10....pure class!
