non-FI 2001 330ci does 1/4 mile in 12.858 sec's

[ari00]

Sorry if it's a repost everyone, but just ran into a new website and thought it was interesting...Guy's done a bunch of mods many of us have, but a couple including interior deletion that most of us would never do. Makes sense because the interior weighs so much, but cool to see a non-FI 330ci in the 12's anyhow.

Here's the spec sheet:

Yea, that would be PEI330Ci...he posts here on the FI and Track forums and he posted that accomplishment a while ago. Cool dude. Seems to really know his stuff. LOL...I thought PEI was his name. I didn't know that actually stands for Prince Edward Island.

Wtf, he goes to all that trouble on a car with an automatic tranny!:rofl: :rolleyes: :loco:

Looks like a manual to me...:hmm: Either way, can't complain too much with those numbers.

Nice time though! lol

[Djrockz415]

[frobie15]

Easy... With screwdrivers and sockets and stuff :D

[ALPIN3]

Pretty extreme...the time, and the car. Whatever floats your boat.

[Ervin87]

Nice.
That is quick for a n/a bmw especially 330.

[pei330ci]

I knew that time looked familiar...LOL

Easy... With screwdrivers and sockets and stuff :D

and a sawzall, air saw, 7" rotary grinder, heat gun, putty knives, really big hammer, bloody knuckles...

Next year is going to be even more fun. :D

Well...I look at stuff like this and it makes me drool:

It was a logical step in mind.

Great time especially N/A with 230rwhp! I can only imagine with an SC at 300rwhp, im sure he can turn in 11 sec times.

[ritos530i]

maybe he will just spray it with nitrous and forget about it. If he will go throw all that to get the car to run faster who knows whats next. Anyway, I like the numbers with only 230hp. Damn that is good.

Thanks Vic,

No SC...or turbo for that matter. I'm up to my ears in Nitrous right now, but the car should run high 11s N/A with what I'm working on.

We're probably both going to chasing similar #s at the strip, but you'll have more HP and I'll have less Lbs.

Thanks,

There was an even faster run but I blew the shift to 4rth and ran a 12.9

What's next is a lot of safety equipment...amoung other things I'll probably be the first with an E46 to install a kevlar transmission blanket on a street car. :D

What is the max Nitrous you run and what kit are you using?
Looks like you are not waiting on some SC or Turbo to come out for you car. You took the initiative and found your on unique style Cool

I think he's custom building the kit himself... probabaly a complete wet kit with a seperate fuel cell and such... :eeps:

I would prefer not to comment on power levels at this point.

I'm using a NX direct port kit as a base, with a lot of "other" parts added in. Most people run into "supply" issues above 250 hp due to restrictions in the nitrous lines/soleniods. At that point you just add another stage, or go with bigger lines and solenoids. I'm planning on 2 stages, but it's more for power delivery than outright power production.

kevlar transmission blanket? What is that, what will it do...?

It acts like a scatter shield. In the unfortunate demise of your transmission it will keep bits and pieces from blowing through you/your legs.

pei3300,

what kind of wheels are these and how can i get a set?

Centerline Billet Series Thruster 16" by 9.5"

They are a custom offset, you'll need to measure you car and specify this to make them fit perfectly. (I was off by 2 mm, but I fixed that with a grinder) I don't recommend trying to fit a wheel this wide to a 330Ci unless you are comfortable with doing a lot of modification in your rear fender wells. A 16" by 8" wheel with a 40mm offset would work with the drag slicks I'm currenly using, but I'm moving to a wider slick soon.

You can get them in 17s and 18s as well.

[EIAlfonso]

So do you ever keep more than a quarter tank of gas in your?

I would imagine all that extra gas and weight would just drive you nuts.

[Titan 3]

Serious a$$ numbers!! Well done!!

Sarcasm aside, I don't notice a huge difference in acceleration between 1/4 of fuel and when it's full. What I do notice is the change in the cornering balance.

Thanks. To be honest, I thought I was going to need Nitrous to get into the 12s. It's been a very rewarding surprise to do it N/A.

pei330ci,

I didn't realize you were a member of the forum when I originally posted. Congrats on some great times and good luck with your future projects! I've been without net access for a couple days. Keep us posted!
