Countdown to Supercharger Install

[Matt Q]

Hey Guys

:wow:

Just thought I would start a new thread for the last few pics till I wack the AA charger in.

The HPF titanium exhaust and Feramic 600WHP clutch arrived today.. here are the pics!!!

Ok let's start with the old.... here's the OEM exhaust... weighing in at a hefty 26kg and with fairly high resistance (and a nice note)

And HERE'S the evil new one, weighing in at a measly 3.5kg and flowing like a mutha.

See how light it is, this is Zaid at Zeemax about to drive my car onto the lift

Here's a closeup of the flamed tips (80mm!!)

And here's the new 600RWHP Feramic clutch, also courtesy of Horsepower Freaks!!

I will post a clip of the dyno later this afternoon..

I have clip of the current exhaust sound so will post both for a comparison

:excited::excited::excited::excited:

PS - I know car looks pretty skanky but it was raining in Cape Town so I parked under a tree for a meeting.... sigh!

[Skazzy]

wickeeeeddddd! waintin 4 da vids.

[MPower_ZA]

lekker... congrats on the new parts!

[freerider]

M@ you must be really excited for that SC!!

BTW I need to get hold of your car.... Parked under a tree :tsk:

I avoid trees, other cars, trolley bays and anything else that might damage my car in ANY way :)

[Matt Q]

Sheesh I wish bro! My car is a workhorse and carts babies around... I'm in the building trade so it has hard hats in the boot and often ends up on building sites... I also track my car so it gets splattered with bugs and oil and tar.

She's generally pretty filthy but she goes like a bullet... albeit a dirty one!!

[freerider]

Lol! you do know that they faster when they clean (less wind resistance) :4ngie:

[Matt Q]

Sigh.... If only I could keep it clean :P

[freerider]

Sigh.... If only I could keep it clean :P

yeah, I have a bone to pick with this darn weather man!

[tim-m3]

Looks awesome Matt!
Please post those clips of OEM vs HPF exhaust!!! I have been dying to hear the difference

[Matt Q]

Ja sure.... Don might be joining me at Zee later for the Dyno run - it's gonna be fraggin loud

[Matt Q]

Oh man!! I just went to the Dyno of the new exhaust.... I think I may have over-cooked this mod slightly

That thing is faaaaaaaaaaarking loud!!!

Step aside GT3!!!!

Jeepers

M@!

[MPower_ZA]

I think I heard it from the waterfront :rofl:

[freerider]

M@'s car is :evil: !!!!!

WOW! :excited:

M@ it sounded flippen awesome when you drove off!

[tim-m3]

Clips clips...I want to hear this ****ing thing :excited::excited:

[Matt Q]

Thanks guys... I'm a bit worried that it's too much... but I'll live with it for a while and see... I will be posting the clips of the before and after revving this evening.. just need to get home to my firewire cables.. ha ha..

Did you enjoy that drive Don??

[MPower_ZA]

What's your neighbours gonna say? lol

I was in Paarden Eilland earlier -- should have popped in at zeemax. :(

[Matt Q]

Yeah should have.. it was hectic!!!

If I drive it gently it's not too loud.. it's only when i rev hectically that is sounds crazy....ok maybe it's a bit loud

M@!

[tim-m3]

Haha, your last 2 posts are priceless matt! The exhaust must really put out some serious noise :)

[freerider]

Thanks guys... I'm a bit worried that it's too much... but I'll live with it for a while and see... I will be posting the clips of the before and after revving this evening.. just need to get home to my firewire cables.. ha ha..

I usually dont like riding shotgun, but I would get in the passenger seat with you driving any day of the week :excited: your car is HECTIC! :thumbsup:

[freerider]

M@'s loud car..... hope this works

[tim-m3]

Worked like a dream, but I think I will need to hear this monster in person :4ngie:

[freerider]

Its CRAZY!!!! I got goose bumps when it was on the dyno :excited:

[Matt Q]

Here it is people.. turn your sound up and your smile on

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKNCR86-Q8M


For your interest, there were no gains in power but there was a minor LOSS of low end torque .. this exhaust will probably come into its own once i go forced induction. This thing is REALLY loud!!! :yikes::yikes:

[tim-m3]

Nice Matt! Sounds sick :) But will definitely really reap benefits with the S/C as you said...now you have the sickest sounding M...bring on the fastest

Oh...nice Apple Mac editing skills

[Matt Q]

Thanks dude :)

[freerider]

Im in a movie!!!!

thats some mad video editing going on there!

[Matt Q]

My F$%^&*G Youtube isn't working.. some server problem somewhere along the way.. I want to change that video for the one with the proper ending :)

[Matt Q]

Ok... I've deleted the previous vid - here's the new one with the proper ending... it's just better this way :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2UNzenhPZA

:str8pimpi:str8pimpi

[freerider]

LOL, love the 3 red bulls!

[tim-m3]

**** youtube! they always remove vids from their server...it was much more efficient before google decided to throw money at them...haha

[Matt Q]

just click on the image not the small play button - link to youtube then it works

[Matt Q]

or search youtube for videos by breakbeatzboy

[Skazzy]

OMG, that exhaust! :drool::drool::drool::drool:
It completely gets rid of the rasp! Awesome! :bow::bow:

[Skazzy]

now we need some fly by vids and in-car vids too!
So when are u getting the S/C?

[Matt Q]

now we need some fly by vids and in-car vids too!
So when are u getting the S/C?

The charger should be shipping latest Friday this week.... if they send it express it will take around a week to ship and clear... worst case it will be installed before the end of this month

This vid was a fun FVCK around... but once the SC is in I'll be doing some proper vids, you can expect

1. New Dyno Runs
2. Fly by's
3. Mountain Passes (With strapped on action cam)
4. Burnouts
5. In car 0 - 300
6. In car heavy cornering

and more... my friend and I have been working on a bit of a script so we'll start shooting as soon as she's done and put something truly wicked together...

I must just say that day 1 with the exhaust was a bit nerve wracking as it sounds a bit "Gangster!" - I was literally sweating with adrenalin when I got home... After another day of driving it I'll learnt to modulate the noise so for about 80% of driving it just has a nice deep note... on heavy acceleration, however, it sound completely EVIL!!!!

I do know that I can never go back to stock.... this sound is so addictive.... I'm actually hedging to go out on the rd again now..... I'm sure we need some milk or bread or toilet paper or something !!

ha ha

[freerider]

M@ you crack me up with your comments! I was having a good LOL now reading your last post!

[Matt Q]

Ta very much....I tend to say half wit things alot cause I only use 1 hand to type.... here's another clip of pure unadulterated exhaust note....yummy :excited:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dZlQS3YY14

[Matt Q]

sigh!!!! I just found out today that the day has been pushed out again :banghead:... being FVCKED around by SA customs cause of the size of the order.. at least it's finally sorted out now and we are expecting delivery in 2 weeks (1st week of June)

Oh well.. as long as it's in by June 16th (My birthday) so that I can drive horribly evilly totally fast before I get a year older :thumbsup:

[freerider]

Please please please, tell me its not sitting in SA at customs? :banghead:
They are as bad if not worse than home affairs!

No this time.. been there in the past..

No this time the reserve bank gave grief about the amount of money leaving the country.. it seems that while you are still in the tens of 1,000's it's alright but when you start going into the 100's there's all sorts of additional red tape... so irritating but at least it' moving now...

[freerider]

yeah.... aha! thats what you think but mean while in the SARS offices your docs are still waiting for someone to sign them, but unfortunately he's not getting a MB ML55AMG out of the deal so you are just gonna have to wait some more :tsk::rofl:

buncha wankers :banghead:

Totally agree...its places like the DTI, Home Affairs, and SA Customs that just indicate how inefficient our country can still be :hmm:

They kept 10 of my iPhones for almost 2 months!!! I have a sneaky suspicion that my Vorsteiner CSL Splitters have got a nice place on their shelf in that fault of theirs :rofl:

Priceless!!! A shopping trolley with CSL splitters !!!! :rofl:

[tim-m3]

Priceless!!! A shopping trolley with CSL splitters !!!! :rofl:

They make it go faster...just splitters alone improve aerodynamics and adds +10km/h to the top end. Laugh all you want, its the truth :rofl:

[Matt Q]

Well we finally have word that the order is a go and we are on the final countdown... looks like 10 working days AT MOST... so basically the kit should be here on the 11th of June and I can start taking you all for rides after the long weekend!!

[MPower_ZA]

:thumbsup:

so this will be the first sc'd e46 m3 in cape town, right?
excellent.

[freerider]

you reckon Zaid will get that SC in and working in one weekend?? :yikes:

[Matt Q]

Sure will :)

Not only that.. but I recon it will be the most powerful M3 in the country... for a while anyway

Let me qualify that statement...

Rob Green is claiming much higher on his supercharger kit but I have heard his claims are often VERY exaggerated and I KNOW that no-one anywhere has produced a SC kit with higher output than the AA stage 2 I'm getting... If he really was producing a reliable kit with higher output than AA I'd be very very surprised

This kit has a PROVEN output of 525Hp on US 91 pump fuel on over 1,000 installations worldwide. On our 95 we can expect a fair bit more and I'm gonna have another map for running 100 and water/meth injection which should get us close to 550HP (410KW)

we are expecting EASILY in excess of 370kw out of my car

Savspeed has a turbo M3 that is more powerful however the aircon has been removed to accommodate it and the traction is apparently suspect so I don;t count this as a true road & track daily usable M3.

My car will be fairly stealth till I put my foot down

The I'm expecting the 370+KW and the 460nm of torque should rocket me to 100 in about 4.1 seconds as long as I can get enough grip

WWWEEEEEEEEE!!!!

[tim-m3]

WWWEEEEEEEEE!!!!

True that! Local installers just cant beat the quality and reliability of a kit such as AA, which has been installed in M3's word-wide...I phoned RGM Motors (Rob Green) at the beginning of the year, and they told me that they are busy with a +1000hp e46 M3 :yikes: But again, that thing might just blow up:rofl:

One thing is for sure...you will be running circles around any Porsche or AMG :thumbsup: You should get your self a VBox, which calculates various interval times via GPS...its an awesome little device :)

[Matt Q]

yeah.. I know. alright in contact with the makers about a custom traction control setup for Jezebel :)

[tim-m3]

Check this out Matt:

[Matt Q]

this is actually my fav one :)

[tim-m3]

this is actually my fav one :)

http://www.racelogic.co.uk/?show=VBOX-Products-VBOX_Mini

Haha...those 2 are almost identical :rofl: Driftbox is based on the Vbox, but dont know what additional features it has (if any)...

Point is, are you getting one? :)

[MPower_ZA]

After the install, maybe you should run the car against the turbo e46 M3 that's in town.
If I'm not mistaken, that one is a sav conversion.... and it actually f's off.

Seen it in a couple of races.

But the perfect contender for you would be the silver Lumina - not sure if you've seen it around or heard of it.
They're also fitting supercharger at the moment.
Last dyno run had the thing on something like 900nm and 470kw.. or something ridiculous like that... thats before SC.

Could be interesting. Not sure how they compete with M power handling.

[Matt Q]

On a drag the SAV M3 will eat me like a sad little entre' before the soup course... of course it won't be able to switch on its aircon on a hot day nor will it handle the first corner at our track with that turbo boost curve.. so I recon 0-100 and rolling starts it'll kill me... track racing it won't stand a chance

Same for the Lumina... I chased one up Kloof Nek a good couple of times and although it pulls like a horny racehorse on Tik, as soon as we hit a corner that ***** would slide around like a shaved Asian pornstar in a bubble bath (nice to watch but don't dare try to ride it!!!)

So yeah... they will both probably kill me in a straight line.. question is how trackable and grippy they will be... remember I FIRST went after my holding setup

Bigger wheels, shocks, mounts, struts, camber plates, arms, bushings etc etc... that's the mistake many of these guys make... all that power without the handling is great for dyno days and straight racing...but come play with me on a mountain pass or a race track and day boykie :)

BTW... spoke to the AA guys yesterday... the kit is almost ready... they will send pics early next week before they pack for shipping

"Horny racehorse on tik" :rofl:

But seriously, as you said, your car will eat them around a track or mountain passes...your M's suspension/handling setup is incredible! What an improvement on an already amazingly handling car :) And I can vouch for that

[freerider]

I second that!

Man M@ you had me in hysterics with the chirp about the shaved Asian pornstar !!!!!!!

[Matt Q]

:)

Nice to watch but don't try and ride one!!!

[Matt Q]

I am still very interested to run some of these dudes posting these silly high figures once I'm boosted....

It's just a sad product of my excessive personality but I won't stop modding till I've pretty much taken this M as far as I can without completely losing the M'ness of it...

I don't want to ever end up sacrificing track ability for straight line performance

I'll arrange a few runs.
Always good to gauge.

[Matt Q]

Awesome :pimpin:

[Matt Q]

ok... update...

The kit is 90% complete.. shipping is aimed for Wed but Thursday is a guaranteed latest shipping date so it will all be here at the beginning of next week... all in good time for the dyno day on the 22nd!!! I should be testing her before the end of next week - yeehhaa

I'll definitely post pics as soon as the kit arrives and will post pics and clips of the install as it happens

M@!

[freerider]

Congrats man!

I'm getting excited for you!!! :excited:

[Matt Q]

The 'charger has just left Miami and is headed our way!!!

ETA Tuesday morning for install - I'll also be putting that insane exhaust back on just for the aural pleasure of everyone at the dyno day

Have a gr8 long weekend all

[Matt Q]

Setback... but the end is in sight...

Ok, so the kit didn't leave Miami on Friday, however we were informed that it DID get picked up by Fedex yesterday and it IS in the air today... doubt that it will be done by Sunday but at least it will be in the workshop and available to be seen during conversion... Don.. you still gonna detail me?

sobs!!!!

Name the place and time :str8pimpi

I'm doing an imola red M3 tomorrow afternoon, otherwise I'm free the rest of the afternoons and sat morning.

[tim-m3]

Any more news, matt??

[Matt Q]

not as of yet :(

sobbing!!!

It's meant to be "in transit" whatever the FVCK that means

[tim-m3]

thats seriously sucks...whats the ETA? installed by next week?

[Matt Q]

IT'S OFFICIAL!!!

The charger has landed in Jo'burg.. overnighting to CT.... it will be here tomorrow or Saturday so come hell or high water Jezebel goes in on Monday to begin the stripdown..... first we need to remove the induction kit for you Tim... next up is the POOOOOWWWWWEEEEERRRRR!!!!
:excited:

[freerider]

DUDE!!!! that is AWESOME NEWS!!!!! :excited:

[zabbo]

Great news dude.

Looking forward to hearing all about the install.

[Matt Q]

Jezebel is now with Zaid and the Zeemax crew and the strip down has begun, the gear is clearing customs tomorrow some time and I'll post pics as soon as it does. The car is running VERY well, having posted the highest numbers of any M3 (except for Zaid's csl of course!) on the day. A VERY respectable 248kw.

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg48/breakbeatzboy/DynoChart230608.jpg

It'll take the better part of today to strip the car down in prep for the install and there are still a few extra bits that needed to go in so they'll have their hands full. I'm fitting Turner Motorsport adjustable front camber plates and UUC uprated front control arm bushings to make sure the extra power gets put to the ground properly...

Pics to follow :excited:

[freerider]

Hell its about time as well!

I think even Zaid was surprised when my little 320i posted 125.5kw!!!

[Matt Q]

I'll be at Zeemax at 9pm tonight for the engine stripping - that's for SURE!!!
:excited::excited::excited:

Cummon! rev that beast up man! I wanna hear it :excited:

[tim-m3]

Awesome Matt :excited:

I am going to be hitch hiking outside your office for a lift in Jezebel :)

[Matt Q]

Here's the first dyno chart... very good but also way below potential... we've have some leaks on the system so we are only boosting at 0.5bar versus the 0.7bar we are aiming for

still pretty bloody awesome and more than 100kw over my previous NA readings from last Sunday... maybe if we sort out the leaks we can break 400KW!!!!

First impressions!

I managed to get about an hours driving in this pm in between rush hour and father duties...

OHMYGOD!!! The car behaves and sounds pretty much stock when cruising around in the lower rev range... besides the sick intercooler peering out from my bumper, no one would know better. She pulls slightly harder from around 3000 to 4500 where the sweet spot used to be but the real power has now moved up the rev range to around 5500 upwards and it's from here that things really start to get exciting.. climbing to 100 is pretty damn quick.. easily under 5 seconds and I haven't hammered it yet.... but from 100 to over 200 comes so quickly it's not even funny.. that car is just like VROOOOM.. I can't explain the power and the pull you actually gotta feel it to truly appreciate it...

Thanks goodness I have such a hardcore suspension and brake setup as this car would be very very dangerous without them - weeeeeeee!!

[freerider]

hehe, sounds awesome! I cannot wait to feel how it pulls!

[Matt Q]

maybe tonight???

If we have no more rain this pm and the streets dry a bit I'll come take you for a spin. It's only a 25 minute drive so I can be there in about 7 minutes - lol

oh well, I told you man, get the Ritalin dart gun :4ngie:

[Matt Q]

zaid and I were cruising at around 280 today :) funny how quickly you can run out of road!!!

Don. I'm waiting for the new manifold before you do your thing. I want everything to be perfect before u get stuck in there. Got my updated uuc front control arms today. Stiffer neoprene compound for high speed stability. Once those are in I've pretty much updated every single component in the suspension set-up..... She's already steady at 280. Let's see how she feels over 300 with these new bits up front

[Matt Q]

oh yeah, forgot to mention. My Supersprint de-cat front pipe and racing) centre pipe should arrive from Italy next week :)

[freerider]

FFFFFFFMMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!! I would leave racing stripes in your passenger seat at that speed :excited:

I did 294 on my fireblade once and that scared the bejesus out of me!

[zabbo]

:bow::thumbsup:Saw Jezebel in traffic last night and boy does she look smashing with her silver bits sticking out through the front air dam. Damn M@t, she really does look like she can seduce you with those angel eyes and then bite you in the arse if you're too slow:bow:

[Matt Q]

ha ha :)

Thanks Dude - I am soooo in love with my Jez!! If there's a break in the rain this Weekend I'll bring her out to play

I would assume you are talking about traction when you say "break in the rain" because its not like you garage her or anything :tsk:

I'm surprised she still lets you drive her :rofl:

[Matt Q]

She likes it rough and ready!!

Thanks Dude :thumbsup:

It's a work in progress... all I need now is lashings of carbon fiber and maybe some killer ICE and I'll be done... or maybe not!!

If you come to street racing this Sunday (weather permitting) I'll take you for a spin
