ESS Video...

[MarvelPhx]

They told me they had a video out on the net for a new system, and I looked and found it. I don't know when the kit is coming or any specs, pricing, etc... That is one fast Z4.

Enjoy.

[spartanwarrior]

And only 5psi wow,, but they haven't released the TS yet and they started a new one jesus now what do we wait to see which will be better, NOT.

[MarvelPhx]

I am sure they have their development pokers in lots of project fires. I think this kit will be a cheaper alternative to the Twin Screw system if the TS is out of people's price range.

[Asbjorn@ESS]

Yes, this will be a budget kit (priced under 4K and it shares some components with the ASA SK+). The kit is based on a ASA TM3-12 running 5PSI. This kit is completed and is currently undergoing durability testing. ETA early 2007. Additional mods on this Z4 is the upcoming ESS SC camshafts and ESS exhaust system along with ESS MS45 SC software and 315cc injectors. The TS1 and especially 2 is MUCH faster than this setup, so look forward to it!:thumbsup:

[MachRc]

I am still surprised how ESS extracts healthy amounts of power still using the "smaller" tm-12.

[spartanwarrior]

Wonder where all those people are that stated in another thread that a s/c 3.0 can in no way beat an M3, proven and by a 5psi s/c, really like the end that say's just imagine what the TS2+ 8.5 psi will do to an M3. lol

[david05111]

Well the Z4 is 300 lbs lighter than a 330, but that still is very impressive.

[stylinexpat]

I like those new Z4'S:) What I thought was bad though was the CD on the those new cars was at 0.36:thumbdwn: The new Lexus IS 350 is at 0.29 and that is a family car. The coupe was a lousy .02 better at 0.34. What are those guys at BMW thinking when a Lexus IS 350 gets 0.29 CD:loco: This is their Sports car at BMW and if that car has worse CD then a family car made by Lexus it leaves BMW a lot of room to improve their CD #'S.

Any plans for coming out with a similiar kit for a 3.0i X5? :)

[Yellowmann]

Wow I can only imagine how my car would be with the TS stage 2 :)

Increased lift (or downforce) also tends to result in increased drag. Pure speculation here, but it's possible that BMW designs their cars to be more stable aerodynamically at autobahn speeds while Lexus designs their cars to be quieter and more fuel efficient (figuring they'll rarely if ever see 100+).

Perhaps BMW could lower the drag coefficient a bit, or maybe it's as high as it is for a reason. Or maybe they thought a stylish car (I'm not crazy about the Z4 myself, but that's another discussion) was more important than raising the top speed of the car beyond its already electronically limited top speed or a marginal increase in fuel economy.

Guess the point I'm trying to make is not to get too hung up on Lexus can get a Cd of .29 so BMW should be able to as well. There are more factors in the design equation than just "Cd".

Will the ESS exhaust system include headers? :evil:

[Asbjorn@ESS]

Will the ESS exhaust system include headers?

Yes, it includes equal length headers and OEM euro spec E46 M3 cats for emissions regulation compatability.

[BayerischeMW]

Asbjoern, is it possible to purchase those headers and cats without the S/C? if so, can you quote me a (norwegian) price? thanks.

[Asbjorn@ESS]

Asbjoern, is it possible to purchase those headers and cats without the S/C? if so, can you quote me a (norwegian) price? thanks.

Yes, the price is NOK 19500 + MVA for the complete kit.

[stylinexpat]

Is this kit for the new engines or the older engines? Ones with 265 HP Euro are the new ones? I am wondering if this will work on my E87 130i or anything out there that will?

[Asbjorn@ESS]

This kit for M54's only.

[m3on20z]

What about for us Americans , in US dollars please?

[david05111]

:bump: :)

I thought that they were the same engines with the same software? :dunno: Maybe it'll work?...

[david05111]

What about for us Americans , in US dollars please?

3100-3200 US dollars...

Yep, it is the same engine, but the piping is different. :)

Haha please dont take that video seriously...i can point out a couple things right from the beginning... Oh and i will show you a video of a 330@9.5psi loosing to a stock m3..let alone a euro 1 which has free flowing headers.... Judging by that video that Z could smoke me:lmao:

Please let us know your points, we are interested in why you think this way.

The owner of the Euro M3 ran us 11 times during making that video. He was determined not to let any modified Z4 outrun him and tried everything he could to do to beat us from different LCs to shift times. That is why we put the cam in his car, not ours. We beat him the same way all 11 times, from a stop, rolling, freeway accel, etc. If you speak Swedish, you will hear him something not so pleasant about the Z4 running away from him so easily in one of the runs. This just shows what MS45 is really capable of when tuned to perfection.

As for any 9.5psi vs M3 video you may have, it is irrelevant to this topic. It surely wasn't our system as we would never develop an E46 system that pushes the stock engine past 8-9 psi for longevity reasons.

Man denial is really bad. Ohh no! AA didn't come up with this first, its not a stage 15 kit from AA so SURELY it cannot compete with my super transmodifying alpha numeric air sucking boosted M3. Geesh!

Edit: This was in no way a bash at AA. They seem to have their sh*t in order and from their cars I've seen are one heck of a company... just some of the people that may be purchasing their products.

[MachRc]

i want to see the video of the 9.5psi lose to a m3:(

[stylinexpat]

i want to see the video of the 9.5psi lose to a m3:(

Once I get my ECU back from ESS, I will challenge any stock M3 for a race provided that Asbjorn got the ECU tuned properly. I will then post my Video up as well:)

[Asbjorn@ESS]

m52tu? :(

No plans for a budget M52TU kit as of now. The new TwinScrew kits will however be available for the M52TU's in all versions (B20, B25 and B28):thumbsup:

[Asbjorn@ESS]

Yes, the new budget CF series will fit the X5 3.0. So will the new TS series as well.

If you look closely in 1 of the segments you can see the Z4 launched before the M3 even rev/used LC... How much whp is that Z4 pushing at 5psi to put about 5car lengths on the M3 all before hitting 100mph??
I wasnt bashing your products or anything i was just stating my opinion that the video looked a little strange to me... Good job on the TS too

Denial about what?? What has AA have to do with this? Actually judging by the video that Z would smoke me..i cannot put 5 car lengths on an M3 from 0-70 or whatever they went to ill have to look at the video again. That Z must be making around 500whp.

is sales@ess and Marvelphx the same poster?

[MarvelPhx]

Not it! :dunno:

[spartanwarrior]

That Z must be making around 500whp. That Z is not making 500whp that's crazy.

[Asbjorn@ESS]

That Z is not making 500whp that's crazy.

The Z4 is making 288rwhp with considerably more torque than an M3, and it is 450+lbs lighter. So tell me why it can't win when both theory and real life testing shows it should and does win easy?

The start is also as good as they come, listen to the wheels spinning on the Z during launching, it is almost synchronized to the RPM's taking off in the M3. The Z4 with 5PSI is indeed significantly faster than a Euro E46 M3, this is the truth, believe it or not SwedishM3. A TS2+ Z4 will almost certainly be faster than your SC'ed M3 as it has tons more torque with a lot less weight. Even a TS2+ 330 might take you. The TS3 and TS4 kits will eat you for lunch in both the Z4 and E46:yikes:

The reason I know this is that our 500rwhp M3 VT3's(on pump gas, no NOS or alcohol btw) has big problems overtaking a light TS4 Z4 due to the insane torque in the M54 with TS4@14PSI.

I have ~500rwhp and weigh in ~3230lbs with a half tank of gas.. You are going to tell me a 330 is going to take me..the only way a 330 is going to beat me is with a built motor and pushing at least 15psi if its a centri..a TS i dunno, and still that might not even do it. I dont know what a TS3 and TS4 kit consists of..but i hope a fully built motor with a TS would beat me.. Remember i attained 500whp on stock internals...Comparing a car with a built engine vs a car with a stock engine isnt really a fair comparison, as a motor built right should produced crazy numbers...I wish i trusted a company to build my engine or i would have done it along time ago..just dont have too many options when it comes to e46M3's with built internals..

[ZBMWFAN]

Which differential gearing do you have in that Z4: 3.07, 3.15 or something higher?

[Asbjorn@ESS]

The upcoming M54 TS3 and TS4 includes internal engine components. TS4 has over 400rwhp with 600+NM of torque and with the Z4's 1290kg it is one seriously FAST ride.

How much power do you make using normal pump 93 octane, no water/alcohol injection and no NOS? This is how one should compare kits. Our VT2 on stock S54 engine makes ~430rwhp @ 6PSI, the VT3 with 9.8:1 CR forged pistons runs 9PSI and has ~500rwhp both on pump 93. The active 71 size blower kits we have tested (with 70mm pulley) makes ~436rwhp @ 7.5PSI but with low torque. This AA number was with water/alcohol injection to. We have just changed the blower for the customer since it seized up on him and we will do a redyno in case there was a blower problem causing the low torque and dyno numbers on that much boost. But from what I see there is no way a 71 size AA makes 500rwhp honest on pump gas. In order to do so safely I strongly recommend going with forged pistons with lower compression ratio. You would also need a bigger blower to move the required air volume for a honest 500rwhp on pump gas only.

Yeah a fully built TS would be awesome..you should post some videos when everything is complete.. I have water/alky injection but that just makes it run cooler and more efficent..Doesnt increase hp just makes it so you dont loose hp due to heat soak after a few WOT runs on a 100degree day, so i cant really saw thats a power adder..I dont run NOS either, i know of 3 people who have and they range from 525whp, 545whp and 563whp. I never run normal 93..the lowest i go is 95 octane..I either run 95 or 100.. Yeah i have seen your VT2 car in action..it was done at the M shop and i am there every so often. The 75mm pulley is for 7.5psi...the 70mm pulley is for 9.5-10psi.

Then there must have been something wrong with the 71 size Rotrex we tested even before it seized, since it only boosted ~7.5PSI on a 70mm. I am quite sure it was a 70mm, but I will measure again to make sure. And the step from 75mm-70mm makes 2.5PSI? That seems very strange as the impeller speed is not that much higher with the 70mm. I would have guessed ~1PSI, but again I'm not to experienced with the Rotrex unit's as we use different brands here at ESS. What pulley did you run for a 500rwhp dyno? What boost was measured and do you have a dyno with AFR? I would love to see it if you have it available. Do you have any dynos done on regular pump gas? It is quite difficult to compare and compete when the playing field is totally different. We will have to boost a VT2 (or even a VT3..) to max with race fuel and see what it yields, but again this is not really any point as most people don't want to run anything but pump 91/93 in their cars, especially not exotic race fuels at $10+ pr gallon.

I will post a few vids of the different TS stages once management allows it, the TS3 and especially TS4's are killers with 1/4 mile times in the low 11's in a Z4 chassis with diff and slicks.

Nice car you have btw:thumbsup:

At first when i talked to Jerry who was the first person to run a 70mm pulley he told me 8.5psi..But later i was told anywhere from 9.5-10psi..i plan on hooking up labtop to my car soon though and getting accurate readings.. I have 1 dyno done on regualr pump gas..with the 75mm pulley but the operator cut short well before redline..i will post it soon when i find it..I will try to dyno my car in the next 2 weeks with and without race fuel..so i can compare and then i will post my findings...You should dyno with race fuel the car runs so much better..I only pay $6/gallon for race fuel so its not as bad as the prices in Europe... That would be quite a sight seeing a Z4 doing a low 11 pass... Thanks:thumbsup: But your silver CSL M3 is still my all time favorite and the driver is a madman..haha great time on the ring

[HighBoostin330]

Denial about what?? What has AA have to do with this? Actually judging by the video that Z would smoke me..i cannot put 5 car lengths on an M3 from 0-70 or whatever they went to ill have to look at the video again. That Z must be making around 500whp.

Just wondering, shouldn't a AA Stage 2/3 M3 just absolutely murder a stock m3? :hmm:

[OCswedishM3]

Just wondering, shouldn't a AA Stage 2/3 M3 just absolutely murder a stock m3? :hmm:

Yes i have murdered a stock m3 but i cannot put 5 car lengths from 0-60 on an M3. From a 2nd gear roll its not pretty...But then again when i race most cars from a roll its not pretty...The best against a SC M3 is from a dig

WERD!

Stock M3 0-60 4.7s
AA stg.2. M3 0-60 4.2s

Difference 0-60 0.5s

0.5s/3600 = 0.0001388h
0.0001388h*60mph= 0.008328miles
0.008328mi * 5280ft/mi = 44ft
One car lenght ~15ft
44ft / 15ft = 3 car lenghts.

Not a huge difference and it will be a lot easier to achieve 4.7s with the stock M3 than to achieve 4.2s with the supercharged...

Then again, after 60mph, all hell will break loose....:evil:

Very impressive numbers to say at the least!!:thumbsup:

What's wrong from a dig? Traction issues? Don't you have 305s in the rear?:yikes:

[zulu4]

Yes, this will be a budget kit (priced under 4K and it shares some components with the ASA SK+). The kit is based on a ASA TM3-12 running 5PSI. This kit is completed and is currently undergoing durability testing. ETA early 2007. Additional mods on this Z4 is the upcoming ESS SC camshafts and ESS exhaust system along with ESS MS45 SC software and 315cc injectors. The TS1 and especially 2 is MUCH faster than this setup, so look forward to it!:thumbsup:

will there be an intercooler upgrade available for this kit? kinda tired of waiting for infinitas to launch their aftercooler for the SK+ kit.

[clean-m-tech330]

^

I'm curious about this too-

[Asbjorn@ESS]

No, not for this kit as of now. If you want more power, then go with the upcoming TS1 and 2 kits.

[Asbjorn@ESS]

Here is the dyno curves in SAE HP for the Z4 in the video btw.

[al4t1gbundy]

I dont know ... even with all that much more torque and only 280rwhp ... I dont see it putting THAT MUCH on a stock M3 .....

Hell I dont even recall seeing a z06 put that much... and you know they have torque

[clean-m-tech330]

z06 = 70k for a motor :excited: :banghead:

This kit is completed and is currently undergoing durability testing. ETA early 2007. Additional mods on this Z4 is the upcoming ESS SC camshafts and ESS exhaust system along with ESS MS45 SC software and 315cc injectors. The TS1 and especially 2 is MUCH faster than this setup, so look forward to it!:thumbsup:

hey asbjorn,

just wondering what size pulley do you use on the tm3-12 supercharger for a 5psi setup like the cf kit?

appreciate all ya help.
thanks
