ESS VT625 SC'D M3 vs Modded GTR's vs HPF Stage 2 M3 vs Modded Turbo S vs Modded 997TT

[Jackj28]

DLSJ5, Danm man, you have a VT-700??? No wonder you full like crazy on those R35's... ESS is going to be my choice on my E92 M3 also when I SC this summer. If I remember correct you also had a E46 M3 and were on M3forums no? your screen name is familiar to a memeber that I think was on the boards Well anyway very Sick E92 M3 you got there man! Would love to feel that thing pull! And about that Bonus run, wow! what a Sick GTR. what is the HP on that beast Also what else you have done on your car?

[DLSJ5]

@Jackj28 It's a VT625 with Meth. ESS makes a great kit, after these runs, I decided to lower the compression, add more boost, etc. the car is now a VT725, hope to get some runs with this new setup soon, thank you for the kind words!

Yeah I know that HPF pushes the S54 to 1k+, but without having data on it, it must impact it's durability (would guess sub 10k before re-build). With the S65 around 650 I think it's good for 100k, same for the S54 at 450 range. It's not just the cylinder can cracking of the block I'm worried about, it's also the strain on the valves. And yes, the M3 is getting fat ... 300lb more each year ... hope that the F30 fixes that ... at least get it down to 3500lb range. CSL.

[goguhu]

@goguhu Even the E90 GTS and CRT comes in at 3400-3500 range. But perhaps that's the purpose with the CRT ... indicate what to expect when it comes to weight/power in F10? (450hp/3500lb ... I'll take that). That's as close I think BMW will take the M3 vs M5 F10. 4100lb btw is for the Convertible. Let's just all hope for more power, more features, less weight and still sharp handling :) (still tempted to throw on the ESS VT650 ... if it was not for CARBS :(

[luckeycraig]

lol low boost HPF turbos still beat a supercharged V8 e92... crazy... i guess there is no need to see the real HPF stage 3-4 race... turbos are the best

[racetech0980]

@luckeycraig

Think you are confused a bit buddy. The HPF car got walked... first run in the video.

[luckeycraig]

@racetech0980 lol oh im sorry its only a basic stg 2 smg w/ the stock internals its just a STG 1 with 30hp meth. I was thinking of the many other videos of the brick heavy supercharged 650hp V8 e92 M3 getting smoked the crap out of by the real HPF M's. They need to race atleast a real E46 HPF M3 w/ 700 wheel on pump gas. LOL thats why the New BMW M3 is going back to the inline 6 with twin turbo... lighter, faster, and better fuel econ. Leave the V8s to the real American Muscle master. z06 :)

[e92m3us]

@luckeycraig E46 HPF stage 2 with meth is rated at 670 CHP 580 WHP. The supercharged E92 M3 in this video is rated at 625 CHP 525 WHP. The big, slow, heavy E92 making less power walks away. So what you are saying is the E46 M3 needs 700 whp to beat a 525 whp E92? Looks like someone needs to pull his head out of his ass before he post stupid shit on youtube.

[luckeycraig]

So BMW is basically stating that from the 2013 M3 online article that the e92 was a complete backtrack. lol jk

[goguhu]

@luckeycraig Not really ... they are going back to lower emission / improve mpg ... ESS can get the S65 (4.0L V8 in M3) to 775hp with their kit (they are not selling it though, mainly due to issue with 2 year warranty I'm guessing). btw ... S65 is 30lb less than the S54 (3.2L I6). Granted an cast iron engine might have room for more FI than an aluminium engine. Lowering the RPM though mean you need beefier gear box which add weight again ... it's not an easy balance.

[luckeycraig]

@goguhu Of course those are a couple of corporate reasons amongst many others. I know the s65 motor is lighter but 30lbs doesn't help its 3700-4100lbs stock weight! as to 3050 w/ CSL pkg. ESS kit for the V8 m3 at 775 sounds ok. But normal s/c c5 vettes get 800whp. Im sure you've herd HPF new stg 5 puts the built s54 to 1300+bhp. Thats why I bought the e46 M for 20k. Love the sharp lines look & more performance to $ ratio. Stg 3 800rwhp M for 50k total? Thats less then a 335I Msrp. But i luv all

[Gcoups]

Awesome video! I love the bouns run GT-R

[dreng4cfc]

good stuff bro, that "bonus" run is such a tease.....lol

[Tboulda]

I have to compliment all of your videos. You are putting in work in your E92!! I can only imagine how the ESS S/C will wake up the S85 V10 when they finally roll it out. I just picked up an E60 M5. Check out my page, I've got a few kills under my belt already. Good luck out on the streets!

[apriliafan]

I hate people who brake on purpose as soon as the othrer cars is overtaking!

[kageryu311]

Whats up with these GT-R's on 91 octane? Don't they sell 93 octane where you live? I know this isn't Communist California.

[DLSJ5]

@kageryu311 Two of the 4 GTR's were on race fuel.

[HeroCna]

DAMN, i thought that 997 let off the gas.

Good runs mate : )

[mikewads]

Great work! Awesome runs!

[socratesRAM]

Best videos hands down! Never leave any of your videos without a huge drooling smile ;)

[EugeneTaiwan]

[DLSJ5]

@EugeneTaiwan Haha, pretty crazy E!

[besttyler]

[sid350]
