andyhundley Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 My garage spot is in greenfield. Hopefully I'll see this driving around soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graynor Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Taking stuff apart is fun but putting it back... That's another story! The subframe swap is adding unplanned time to the install. I didn't want to cut my stock subframe and mounts so luckily the seller was able to provide modified ones with the kit. No instructions on how to swap them however so figuring that out took an hour or so. Broke my driver side hood latch cable unfortunately(the weak plastic ferrel where it catches the latch) so had to order that. Won't arrive till Tuesday and that'll push everything back. I believe I just have to keep headlights loose but can still move forward with the other stuff. Keeping fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Graynor Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Lol @ Snap. I'm hoping to be done by tomorrow :-X Just waiting on supercharger oil to be delivered and the tune file to be emailed back to me.Target numbers are around 650 hp/450 tq. Previous owner had dynoed like 520 at the wheels but he didn't have any other mods so I'm hopeful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasnt m3 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 What was done to the car when it was previously dyno'd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graynor Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Just the SC kit according to previous owner. Just the kit alone is rated at 630hp and 430 tq iirc(I'm fully catless which has shown 20 or so hp gain for the e92 M3). Frankly if my dyno runs showed 500 at the wheels, I'd be a happy clam.

Guest 328ci Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 The car looks great! That thing will be incredible to drive after you have the super charger on there. Definitely post up as many pictures as possible, I dont think anyone on here would complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Welcome! I've driven a ESS supercharged E92 M3 with performance exhaust, it was a blast Look forward to seeing/hearing your car in person someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Graynor Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nothing peeves me off like realizing there's a missing part right at the very end. Last night was just one issue after another. There's an adapter and vacuum like that goes from the manifold oil drain to the driver side crankshaft breather(it's missing argh!) Then the air filter is damaged so need to overnight the parts. Soooo close I can lick the finishing line. Guess I'll button the rest up and do an oil change while I wait for parts. Gonna send in a sample to black stone labs. I might still make the picnic this Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Graynor Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 So everything remaining should arrive today. Spent yesterday changing the oil and buttoning everything else back on. Luckily the missing bits are accessible without anything needing to come off. Sooooooooo one last photo before firing her up today/tomorrow. I'm hoping the next update won't have me looking for a replacement engine :X Saturday is supposed to have excellent weather so I'll see all you fine folks then!
