Hi guys,

On my way home from the track. Had a great time and the 135 ran strong. They made some changes to the runway that slowed the traps down a bit. They shortened the track to 4/10s of a mile and also switched timing equipment to a two cone average.

My best was a pretty strong 150.3mph. Their recorded traps were consistently 2+mph slower than by VBOX but since everyone was using the same timing system it doesn't really matter. Running my usual stock turbo setup, E50, 3460# race weight, etc. I had a hard time getting races for some reason and ended up having to do a couple of my runs solo! But also beat a supercharged M3, 750hp mopar, and a couple slower sub 400hp cars.

SRanch335 ran 155mph as of 4pm and Xtyper's E63 around the same speed. There were several supercharged E90 M3s running 148-152mph, and Drew's bomber was in the low 160s.

There was a home made single turbo running a motec tuning system and extra injectors but he was still trying to sort out the tuning when I left. He needs a jb4.

The only N54 causality of the day was Marcelo who had a bad meth backfire and exploded his intake manifold. Severely dented his hood too. It took a few minutes to fish all the pieces of plastic out of his engine bay. Also a scary moment when a 190mph+ Firebird lost control slowing down and flipped. Fortunately he had a full cage and the driver wasn't seriously hurt.

Will add some photos and more info later.

Sranch335 ran 155 as of 4pm and Eric's e63 around the world same. Supercharged m3s 148-152, drew low 160s.

The only only causality of the day was marcello who had a bad meth backfire and exploded his intake manifold. Dented up his hood too.

Wooah, I had no clue you were back to stock turbos. One thing I read on bimmerboost I wasn't too sure of. Are you going with a single setup instead of the Vargas st3?

Anyways, i really curious to see some videos and some pics. Esp of the custom single, that's sick! Tune that motec up for him Terry, it should be easier than the jb4 no?

Yes for various reasons decided to switch over to FFTEC hardware. I'll post more about it when we have some results.

IMHO the motec is a waste of time and completely wrong for the application. He is just running it to control his injectors & boost and then doing half the tuning via Cobb. But since the motec can't read CAN data it can't integrate properly. He's new to the platform so I got him pointed in the right direction. His turbo looks pretty decent, very similar to FFTEC. I guess they are a fabrication shop.

Woah interesting to hear about the large single. I would think the motec would be a waste of time as well with all the different ways you can go with tuning this motor. It's not like the S54...


We need to meet up sometime btw :D. Alpinedevil335 helped me and showed me how to log and stuff. I just need to do the BB BMS flash now.

@Terry@BMS congratz on the 150 mph pass! Sounds like you had some good runs. Too bad my cars intake manifold exploded on my first run lol. Racing out there is always fun

[sranch335i]

Just got home. I will post up some videos when I get a chance.

Car ran great thanks to Terry! It ran strong all day with no issues. I too had a hard time lining up races for some reason. Here were my races today and I will post up some videos asap. I strongly believe losing weight was a huge help in many of the races. The first GTR I raced today I beat the last Shift Sector by a car or two. This time around he was upgraded with an exhaust and a tune and the only change I had was weight reduction and improved tuning by Terry. I was still able to beat him by a fender.

1st Race - GTR w/ a tune 520whp: lost by 10 buses; mis-shifted 2nd to 3rd
2nd Race - same GTR: won by a fender

3rd Race - Xtyper's E63: lost by 4 cars at least

4th Race - E92 M3 with ESS Supercharger: won

5th Race - Longboarders ESS Supercharged E92 M3: won by a little bit, but we go back and forth all the time...

6th Race - 2012 Cobra Shelby GT500 Kenne Bell 750 whp; dead even both trapping 154

7th Race - 2012 GTR 520whp: won by a few cars

All the cars I raced were automatic/DCT trans besides the Cobra.
Videos will be up soon.

Nice runs man! What was your average trap speed??

How did the methback fire happen? What can be done to prevent this?

[LostMarine]

lol, what s/c m3s lost

best was 155 and most were around 153 154.

[Track Master]

Sranch335i, You car is a beast. Well done and shifting like a Boss there. Terry for stock turbos the 135i is flying. What is this distance in meters (m)?

I've only heard of it once before years ago. He's running lots of meth (it's an Aquamist dual nozzle setup) and was using the NLS and it blew up during the 4->5 shift. Somehow it must have back fired and kicked a spark back in to the intake manifold.

Added the two videos to the first post. Have any others?

[sranch335i]

Okay...thats all i got, my disc got full because we waited so long in line

[Terry @ BMS]

Ah bummer I wanted to see the one of you "beating" Xtyper.

[sranch335i]

We never ran again...next time I'll start in 3rd gear. We were more interested in finding hydration...food truck left at 3 , not that it had any drinks left anyway . We searched the desert for a garden hose but no luck. I was contemplating drinking the meth or the 100 octane I had.

Thanks! The No Lift Shift is a huge help against these DCT's.

What set up did the e63 have

Haha I left the track around 4pm and took a wrong turn, and got to explore "down town" Coalinga trying to find my way back towards the 5 freeway. There was a gas station and even a Burger King there. Not a bad little town.

just added two more...one with longboarder and one with raffael

I took alot of pictures of some amazing rides, I'll post those as soon as I edit them.

It was the twin turbo one or the n/a?
