My ep3 vs built ep3

Maybe sometime in the fall, we'll see. My roommate from college lives in Georgia now so maybe I can stop over there as well. For reference, another RSX-S, I believe an 02-04 dyno'd on Xenocron's dyno with the DC 2.2's. Stock block, stock head + cams/valvetrain, DC Sports Header, RBC, 2.25 Exhaust, not sure what intake, put down 198whp. My bolt on setup on that dyno put down 197whp. They are going back with a PLM header and 3" exhaust, I hope they can put down another 10-15whp. Don't get too obsessed with the overal peak numbers because the dyno reads really low, corrected on a dynojet my numbers were 225-230whp. I can't wait to get my car back and get back on there. I really want another 20whp out of this setup.

As long as you do 15-20 Whp over your Baseline pull I would be happy, that's throughout your powerband of course. Baseline HP and end result power figures don't really matter, as far as actual figures go, so long as you see a healthy gain between the baseline pull and the end pull.

Need to get it back first, I took off the 5th and the 12th of June...trying to shoot for tuning on one of those two days, preferably the 12th because the 5th I already have family obligations for dinner. So I am just hoping that everything is done is ready so that I can get fully tuned on the 12th of June. I already have a line up of cars that are itching to run me when I get the car back....

My buddies N55 335xi w/ bolt ons
24V VR6 swapped GTi w/ cams + bolt oons
2011 DSG 2.0T GTI w/ K04 turbo upgrade + bolt ons

to name a few...

525......lol

Nah that's the N54 on e85/93 blend but he's having some issues right now, his car isn't running right and it's also a RWD model. The one I am talking about is the same 335 from my track vids that put lengths on me from a dig at the track. It's a 335xi - AWD. His best I believe was a 13.2 @ 106...we'll be doing rolls until I swap my clutch, I think it will be a good run. Mods are Vishnu Procede, Vishnu charge pipe (was gonna run meth, but never did), Vishnu 3.5" Downpipe....just running the unmodified map out of the Procede....not sure which one, but pretty sure it's an aggressive map.



What's ur setup again, sorry....a3 bottom with a a2 or z1 head? what compression? any power #'s or track #'s?

A2 head with z3 cams. It's on a street tune so I don't how much power its putting down.

I took that shitty tb spacer off and change my intake route closer to the sub frame. It feel like it pulls a lot harder now.

Have never lost to a NA E36 M3 in my car. Ran several, 3 are on video. The first was a shellacking. My buddy purchased the M3 with a couple of bolt ons that are listed in the video. We don't think it had a chip based off the results of the pull but at least I/E.

The second one I ran was "On Rails" aka PurduinaM3 who has one of the cleanest E36 M3's I've ever seen. He has a rebuilt S52 with all the bolt ons out side of a 3.5" intake arm, throttle body, injectors and tune. Car has full exhaust, clutch/fly, weight reduction and 3.46 rear gears (3.15 or 3.23 is stock). He was a lot closer but 3rd and 4th gear I'm able to pull him several cars.

And lastly was a full bolt on and tuned s52 known as M3Ant. He dyno'd something like 255-258whp on ICS' dyno. He wasn't much faster than PurduinaM3, probably because M3Ant has stock gears. I was able to pull him a couple cars as well. I should add that off a 1st gear roll in less than 30 degree weather when I have no traction, they can hold me off.

I'm gonna need to run some E46 M's once I get my car back me thinks...

Bimmerforums.com loves me - You beat one and they all wanna run, BMW guys are funny.
