Dam homie that's on hell of a build!!!

Look's awsome!

 

what a great build. thats a difficult job and it looks very clean

 

thanks guys, it was a pure pleasure making this beast what it currently is!

 

*****in! Well done! I really like that you left it stock looking. I did the same to my e36 turbo, even painted the FMIC matte black. I was nowhere close to your hp numbers. I ran 15psi and got 380+ to the wheels and it was a blast...600hp is crazy. Congrats!

 

One of the nicest e36 M3s in existence! The pictures never get old.

 

Nicely done. Looks like you did it all right! Specs on the motor?

 

thanks guys, here are the specs on the engine/turbo system


Bottom:
- M50 block bored to 84.5mm
- Block grooved for copper o-rings
- CP 8.5:1 forged pistons
- Eagle forged connecting rods
- S50 crankshaft
- ARP main studs
- Everything replaced (oil pump, main/rod bearings/all tensioners/guides/chains etc)

Top:
- Ferrea competition 1mm+ intake/exhaust valves
- Ferrea springs/shims/retainers
- Mild porting of intake/exhaust ports done by my head guy
- Custom reground camshafts by Elgin Cams
- New OEM lifters installed during engine build
- ARP 2000 head studs
- Vanos seals/anti rattle done less than 1000 miles ago

The engine has solid compression/leakdown numbers and does not burn/consume any oil. The o-ringing of the block and installation of the stock HG was done less than 1,000 miles ago because the MLS let go. Coolant temps have been rock solid and no pressurization what so ever. The seal is perfect and car is dead reliable again. During the engine build it also got all new sensors (cam/crank/knock), new ignition coils, a new idle control valve and all new hoses etc.

Fuel System:
- 60lb/hr fuel injectors
- In-tank Bosch 040 pump with AN bulkhead fitting (no rubber hose)
- In-line Bosch 044 pump
- Custom -8 fuel rail that has a -6 feed on each side and a -6 return in the middle
- BMP adjustable fuel pressure regulator
- All stainless braided hose used with AN fittings for entire fuel system
- Both pumps independently wired directly to the battery with inline fuses and independent relays
- Billet in-line fuel filter with replaceable screen

Cooling:
- PWR 57mm radiator
- Stewart water pump
- Euro expansion tank with factory lines/hoses
- 16” Spal electric fan triggered by radiator temp sensor
- Custom aluminum fan shroud
- Ireland engineering oil filter cap
- BMP oil cooler
- Mocal oil cooler thermostat
- AN -10 stainless braided lines/fittings for oil cooler

Lubrication:
- Amsoil 15w50 racing oil changed every 2000-3000 miles with OEM filter
- AN -4 turbo oil feed line
- AN -10 turbo oil drain line to welded bung on the oil pan
- BMP oil distribution block for oil temp and pressure gauges

Exhaust:
- Custom schedule 10 stainless 6-1 tubular exhaust manifold. Manifold is designed so draw through can be run, down pipe tucks down and does not go over the valve cover, and so it can be removed and reinstalled in about 2 hours with engine in the car.
- 3” turbo back exhaust with Vibrant resonator and muffler
- Turbine housing, manifold, wastegate pipe and downpipe all ceramic coated
- Three v-band connections with Vibrant easy release v-band clamps
- Recirculated wastegate dump
- Welded fitting with check valve for crank case evacuation
- Extra o2 bung for dyno a/f hook up

Turbo system:
- Turbonetics T66 ball bearing/oil cooled turbo (CHRA just replaced)
- Tial 44mm wastegate
- Synapse blow off valve recirculated
- 31x12x3 intercooler with 3” inlet/outlet
- Silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps

Electronics/Tuning:
- Converted to OBDI
- TRM in-house tune using draw through 803 MAF and 93 octane fuel 604whp/510wtq. I belive it’s still the highest whp car that TRM has tuned.
- Blitz SBC ID III electronic boost controller
- Stri racing boost/vacuum, oil temp, oil pressure and water temp gauges
- PLX wideband air/fuel ratio system
- Gauges and boost controlled mounted in custom molded sun glass holder angled up towards driver. Boost/vacuum and air/fuel gauges mounted on top of the steering column using the ATI gauge pod holder.
