Boosted skidz, mean. Helicopters!

65 litres of 98 plus one bottle of Octane booster=ouch!

So i'm assuming BMW is going back into DTM now? For a while it was Audi and Seat only.

Not sure about the turbos but the internals aren't standerd, not sure about the ECU either? The car is still at work so can grab some pics on monday. I was hoping you would see this Darren, by just looking at the engine bay it looks standerd except for the blow off valve and the two pods, it may well be a hand grenade waiting to go boom? Seems to handle the boost at the moment, i only did that once due to the shear fear of poping it, i'm not sure what power it has, would have to be 500bhp at least. 100kph in a little over three seconds is madness.

Badass!

E36, leg or merc?

10? That's f**k all, 19 psi more than standerd is quite alot.

Really sad that they can't spell diesel.

Know one knows, it did have the L/F guard replaced and may have had the turbo pipes removed so whether someone put rags in the turbos to keep paint dust etc out? This was five years ago though.

Bloody expensive now.

Doing the rounds?

Surely not standerd, seems to be fine running that, runs on 105 octane with octane booster, might help a bit.

Also, what's the standerd boost sopossed to be at? This is currently boosting at 29.3psi.

As per above, after a peformance cam for an M30 engine, 3.5 New or second hand is fine, just list your price.

Funny thing is he's owned it and driven it for a long time, must have got unstuck one day when on boost and went straight into the intercooler.

Hankooks are good tyres no?

I hate it when i lose my tools in space.

E60 M5 would be the only option, wrecked one maybe?

Right, had a good check over today and found the fault, noticed both wastegates were staying open when started and reved etc, so we traced through the thousand of vacum hoses, everything seemed to be in order, by the way the car and engine were very modified so there were vacum hoses blocked off here and there but wasn't too concerned as the boosting just happened to stop three years ago and hadn't been touched since, anyway noticed that the hose going to the intake plenum was sucking in when reved so we removed the blow off valve on the otherside of the intercooler and started the car, plenty of boost coming through there so the problem was inbetween the blow off valve and the intake plenum, removed the bumper, removed the intercooler and what do you know.......a rag stuck in the intercooler!!!!! This fault occurred a few years ago and went straight into storage ever since, i decided to have a look at it yesterday as i was quite curious to see what i could find. Noone knows how it could have got there as the system was never opened up? Went for a quick burst in it afterwards, has to be the quickest car i've ever driven! Just insane, they sure live up to their name of godzilla. As i say it was very modified, 0-100 in just over three seconds.

Yep no worries man, having only travelled 10,000miles the paint should be pretty sweet under all the dirt. Passed on that house by the way for a few reasons.

Second topic in a row that doesn't contain BMW but ohwell, i'm sure we'll all live. Got an R32 GTR skyline in at work, (one of the boys), car runs fine etc but has no boost what so ever, can hear the turbos spoolong when reving so that eliminates the exhaust impeller problem(common problem?). Haven't really had a descent look at it, will do tomorrow, i know there's a few people on here that have them, anyone know of common boost problems with these?

Cheers guys for the feedback, i will make it my goal to get it out of the shed this weekend, will take a good part of a day,(very buried in the back), clean it up and see where we go from there.

All sounds very tricky, re the boot lid, you can always cut the wiring harness that goes up the L/H boot strut and connect the wires to a male and female connector plug, nice and tidy.

Nah don't think so, this lady seems to enjoy it alot, Cool little cars.
