Technik Engineering ASA Stg. III Speedo Vids (120 MPH) and Pics

[Mike Benvo]

Just bought my self a new camera, so I figured that I'd continue TazaM3's tradition of speedo videos :thumbup: . Car is running fantastically, and pulls hard 100% of the time.

You guys all know my mods....

Vids could have been better if I had someone holding the camera for me....
No, I'm not suicidal :shhh:


Enjoy! :thumbup:

[TaZaM3]

Haha tight! Finally and yes its hard to hold your own camera. Next time call me well take care of it.

[GBX330ci]

nice. Where's your xenon ballast? And what SES code are you throwin?

[xxcosmicxx]

Very nice Mike...

[M333HP86]

good **** :bow:

[TitanSilber ZHP]

SICK MAN!!! :str8pimpi

[ATLZHP6M]

Very sweet, have you tried to make it to 140? :evil:

Do you have bigger injectors or stock?

[TaZaM3]

nice. Where's your xenon ballast? And what SES code are you throwin?

He has no Cats, so thats the error code. Hes xenon ballast is relocated i believe, Zolti at Technik does the cleanest installs ive ever seen.

[GBX330ci]

He has no Cats, so thats the error code. Hes xenon ballast is relocated i believe, Zolt at Technik does the cleanest installs ive ever seen.

any idea where the ballast was relocated to? Very clean!

[Mike Benvo]

nice. Where's your xenon ballast? And what SES code are you throwin?
Xenon ballast gets relocated down with all s/c applications on this car to make room for the intake system.

SES code is Catalist Efficiency Below threshold in Bank 1 and 2.
I wonder why??!? :dunno: :lmao:

Other than that, no codes, no problems- everything A+

God I love technik....

Boost is super addictive :drool:

[e popa]

you need someone to hold the camera :thumbup:

[Mike Benvo]

I hit 140 2 or 3 days ago against a Dodge SRT-4.

That guy didn't want to race again.... It was like an M3 vs a 325...

Yes, I have 30lb injectors (soon to be bigger) and custom tuned software.

[Mike Benvo]

you need someone to hold the camera :thumbup:
Yea lol... it was very difficult. Next time Vik will come along :bow:

[malakia12]

very nice man :) so are you bringing the car out east(we're waiting for ya :thumbup: ) we could make some very nice videos around here

[Mike Benvo]

very nice man :) so are you bringing the car out east(we're waiting for ya :thumbup: ) we could make some very nice videos around here
2 months and ill be in philly :)

can't wait either :woot:

My car is going to love that weather.
Lower intake temps = advanced timing = more power!!!!

[GBX330ci]

Xenon ballast gets relocated down with all s/c applications on this car to make room for the intake system.

I know that. But it's usually mounted on the fender, next to the intake pipe. Where'd Zolti put yours?

[Mike Benvo]

I know that. But it's usually mounted on the fender, next to the intake pipe. Where'd Zolti put yours?I can't really explain it. Looking at the car, its to the left of the intake tube down 5 inches or so (mounted vertically i believe).

[Jlevi SW]

Nice kill ;)
Man, those guys think they are real hot stuff...
I was running against one from about 60-110.... Towards the end I wasn't sure if he was racing or just trying to get a better look at my license plate :rofl:

Don't get me wrong. Those things are very fast and light. With major mods, they would rip the hell out of both of us. I just don't like it when they think there suped up "neon" is straight out of fast and the furious.

I think I gave him a reality check. Maybe the fact that I have "325" on the back of my car, signifying my last rwhp dyno run, made him want to run me in the for easy meat. I gave him a whole new perspective.

[eBean]

damn car is beautiful... I think i saw your car at bimmerfest... were you the guy trying to put back the shift knob?

[Mike Benvo]

Yeah... the one I bought there from bimmian fit like crap. So i went back to the OEM one i drove up with.

Thanks for the thumbs up man :)

Nice idea man, I need to get a 180i for my car then :thumbup:

[xS3x]

[ACS3 A.R.T]

too hot to handle....damn!!!!!!!!!

[Mike Benvo]

[Mr Paddle.Shift]

Ok Mike, I am taking YOU to the track in July. Are you in??

[Solid]

[omes]

Very kewl vid mike! but for the love of god please get a co-pilot/camera man.

[Mike Benvo]

iLLM3: Yeah man, well have a blast when I'm out there. I will be going to NY frequently.

Solid: Talk to technik. My mods are not "bolt on" though....

omes: I wanna see that damn vid of you vs the m3 vert!!!

[HighBoostin330]

Awesome vids! :thumbup:

[Solid]

I can't remember if you said in previous posts, but do you have engine internals mods? How much boost are you running?

[Mike Benvo]

I have cams, headers, ported and polished head, injectors, and software. Running 9.5PSI.

[jtecnik]

nice pull.... :bow:

[KP]

Thanks for the vids!
That is fast :yikes:

[technikpower.com]

Looking good Mike! Be safe though. :str8pimpi

[Mike Benvo]

:lmao: Once the 3.07 is in I'll be able to take a vid of 160mph :bow:

[Solid]

You selling the 3.46? me wants :)
:lmao: Once the 3.07 is in I'll be able to take a vid of 160mph :bow:

[Clem]

ABOSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVICALLY (sp?) SICK!!!! :wowee: :bow:

[Alex]

You selling the 3.46? me wants :)
He's got a buyer lined up already, :(

I thought it was you!

[technikpower.com]

When can lesser folk get this upgrade kit? ;)

This is our Stage 3 kit, which we are prototyping on Mike's car. It uses a TM17 compressor, so upgrading would require buying the larger compressor and proper ECU to match.

His car currently has headers and ported head, with stock ZHP cams.

[Solid]

Any eta's for stage II and III for the ZHP? I think i want to get headers and skip to stage 3 now lol :)

Is it true that the TM17 has more constant and louder "electric motor" whine than the other compressors? Kind of like the e55 amg noise when it's going WOT?

Thanks.

Not yet. Gotta get Stage 1 done first :)

The first generation TM compressors had more of a whine during clutch disengagement. However, the gen. 2 TM compressors do not have that sound as much.

[TaZaM3]

Hey Anthony, I will see you tommorow..

[Mike Benvo]

The next stage on my car is going to be much crazier. But thats top secret for now :shhh: .

Edit: For the people interested in the diff, I am doing a straight swap with someone else, but thats for the offer.

More vids to come soon, Samir just picked up an insane camera! :thumbup:

[Solid]

I got the diff you want, make a trade :) how many miles on yours? i got 17k.

I think we need to do videos together with Technik. Photoshoot? :)

[Bim Growl]

Any reinforcement/modification to the valve springs, guides, stems, etc... Also, anything done to the bottom end?

Car looks very nice and fast Mike. :thumbup: :woot:

No mods to the engine itself besides the port and polish and cams.

[keikeimok]

hey pal, where could I source the oil cooler kit? it looks neat and cool.

[Mr Paddle.Shift]

Technik Engineering and I designed the OC kit for the ASA setup. Check here (http://www.technikpower.com/catalog/engine/oilcooler/bmw/) for more info. If you have technical questions, PM me.

[Dougs325]

mother of god. I'm going to send you a bill for $20 for making me cream my pants.

[Mike Benvo]

lol :lmao:

[beanfree]

lol :lmao:

Do you have any idea how much power is going to the rear wheels. Thanks.

[Mike Benvo]

Last dyno was 325 rwhp. Should be higher now :)

[meel330]

is that w/ stg 3? is stg 2 out yet?, i may be looking into another blower if active doesnt come through w/ an upgrade

[HighBoostin330]

is that w/ stg 3? is stg 2 out yet?, i may be looking into another blower if active doesnt come through w/ an upgrade

Technik is researching and developing the stage 2 and 3. However, the software for the 325 and M3 takes priority. Patience.

Boosting is addicting huh? :craig:

[meel330]

wait, so sk2 isnt out yet? still boosting 6.5 w/ no injectors and ecu? 330 arent out yet? only 325? thanks, im confused, sk3 here sk2 there, just for 330's.......you get it

[HighBoostin330]

SKII is not out yet. The software and injectors are done. SKII consist of upping the boost. SKIII is upping the boost more. BTW, you have the pimped up version of my car. :drool:

[freshyip]

[AssassinGT]

Mike, these videos you took(including the one with the EVOs) - running with the 3.46 diff? or already changed to 3.07?

The Vid with the eclipse and the evo were both with the 3.07 and a 5 speed. I am getting my car back tomorrow with my 6sp and new driveshaft, tranny, uuc evo 3, and stage III UUC E34 Ceramic M5 Clutch and lightweight flywheel.
Monday my 3.64 arrives http://forum.e46fanatics.com/images/smilies/woot.gif.

I think the 120 mph video was with the 3.46. Not sure though. http://forum.e46fanatics.com/images/smilies/thumb.gif

[steelgrey330ci]

Hey mike

When you switched to 9.5lb kit, is it just the compresser that changes and the ecu programming ?

I've got the stage 1 and maybe thinking of going two the next stage.

Thanks for your imput.

:thumbup:

[GBX330ci]

different blower and ECU i think

[steelgrey330ci]

I know that but everything else stays the same.

So If I order that I can simple change the blower and re zap the ecu cause I have the ecu upgrade from the first kit with the 30lb injecters.

Thanks for your imput. :thumbsup:

[Mike Benvo]

Yep. Different blower, pulley, and ECU.

[Surk]

Cool job and vid Mike... Car pulls nice.. :woot:

[yafool]

haha, whats your city mileage now? Mine has gone to sh it and im on 24lb injectors on 2.5. yea mike, you need to slow down : )

[HighBoostin330]

:werd: Mines went down the drain.

[yafool]

yea, at least you are 6 speed now, both of you! haha, im jealous. I think I am going to see how much power this tranny can take. My brother just got the e90 330 with the new 6 speed. Its freaken sweeeeettt.....

its ok, im still faster than him though. he still :bow: to me :P

[bernstem]

Yeah, I wish I had a six speed. I'll wait until I have the cash to put in a lower ratio LSD. Probably will be about the time my clutch dies and I'll do clutch tranny and diff at the same time.
