I'm sure there's a lot more interest since it's possible it could be the 1st built motor E9x M3 to hit the 1/4 mile, since Izzy & Drew "don't bother with that".

BUT now that Zim's car should be finished soon, and I assume he'll continue to track his car, it's gonna be a "race" between the two of you to see who can get there 1st. "

Something your Stage 3s & Sticky's YSI M3 share in common. Neither of them have put down any 1/4 mile passes, 60-130 or even any runs against some worthwhile competition, but let's brag & boast about all the HP we made on the dyno.

So only the paying customer's get the "top notch" demeanor, but fuck everybody else on the forum? Maybe you should stick to making the product (which appears to be very solid, but is yet to prove itself) and let someone else deal with the forum politics/customer interaction. "

" WELL the video description says they're both running race gas. Lambo's on MS109, so not the full Stage 3 1250 WHP on C16 & the Porsche is running C16 & over 1k BHP

Chances are the Porsche has better sized turbos that sacrifice top end power for immediate spool response, which is why it takes the lead off the hit. "

Check with Gintani -- Make sure the pumps are capable of pumping enough fuel & were designed for ethanol use. Also, I have no idea what specific injectors your kit is using, but I know the most of the ~650 BHP kits use Bosch injectors, which I don't believe were designed for ethanol use (look into Injector Dynamics/Fuel Injector Clinic & see if they make anything that'll work on your S65) "

" How about a set of Apex wheels of the winners choice in model (Arc-8 vs EC-7) and specific measurements?? Apex makes phenomenal wheels at an incredible price point, and everybody would enjoy a free set of wheels.


Giving away a COBB AP/Intercooler/Turbos might not appeal to the masses because A) some people might already have those mods or B) just not have the money/interest in adding those mods (perfect example: I wouldn't benefit from Stage 3 turbos because they're no 6AT upgrade; if you upgrade your turbos you're gonna need a money for a clutch + install, etc).

I think 90% of the people who have expressed dissatisfaction have called for the same thing -- a truly administrator-less forum. I understand that you basically made BimmerBoost, but I've already said this somewhere else -- People come here to debate, not for you to assert your personal opinion & then neg someone into a "vacation" when they disagree.

I wish the best for your car, but in my personal opinion you shouldn't be bragging about the power/performance potential until it's actually on the tarmac running 1/4 mile times & beating up on some competition. Until then, it's just like the Vargas Stage 3 car -- Dyno sheets illustrating some impressive HP numbers, but no concrete, driving performance data.

There's nothing more comical then they guy who brags about having 1,XXX WHP getting beaten by a high 800 WHP car all because it has a more usable powerband that actually can be put to the ground. "

It's just a HUGE inconvenience to take off the belts, swap the pulleys & reinstall everything on a supercharged car, where on a turbo car you can easily just run a different software setting (E85 tune) without having to make any hardware adjustments. "

I believe Garth has revised the Walbro 450 install so it gets better flow & doesn't have the problems some people are reporting (disconnecting fuel lines)

Sure they do, but the injectors with the N54 are a joke & they're also the only injector that works (we're also on the 3rd injector revision, but BMW still refuses to warranty or replace them in good faith). It's also pretty clear at this point that a reliable, high HP fueling system for the N54 is going to be a nightmare.

I'm planning on running FTW Purple.
Like Alex said, anything the fuel is coming into contact with you'll want to make sure is high ethanol concentration proof to avoid any headaches down the road. Fuel lines, pumps, injectors, surge tanks, etc etc; the pumps are probably the most important because you'll need to make sure they are able to move enough fuel in the 1st place. "

benzy89 replied to the thread Question: Have you noticed any mechanical problems using ethanol/gas fuel blends?.
" I LOVE E85 and now that it's summer, run it someone "regularly". I have had absolutely no mechanical problems while running either fuel or switching back and worth. Honestly the biggest pain in the ass is switching fuels because the COBB maps aren't flex fuel (it's either 100% 93 pump gas, or 100% E85). The only "problem" I've noticed is if I switch from my E85 Map to the 93 and leave too much E85 in the tank -- The idle will be a little off because the ethanol concentration is a little too high & the fueling is programmed accordingly. But I can easily overcome this by holding 1k RPMs until the engine finishes the cold start process & then everything will be completely fine.


So long as you have a proper fueling system (parts built to spec for high ethanol concentrations) & appropriate tuning, there is NOTHING bad or damaging about running E85. You can easily look at some cars that strictly run E85, and then can attest there is nothing wrong with it as long as you take the necessary steps -- Perfect example, prodigymb & m3ntals 996s. @undercoverangie can also prob have Garth comment on how safe running E85 is, from a tuner & builder's perspective.
