Sick car but man...some horrible looking welds on the manifolds for a car of that caliber...

 

Ill RACE IT!!! My only request is Street tires are only @ this race.

 

Hot dang!!!

 

So how long is this thing supposed to stay together?

I haven't heard of any turbo E46 M3's that lasted, and that cars been out much longer than this.

For $350,000 I would never, ever buy it. I would have more faith in AMS. Give them a new M5 and $160,000 and they could make something better than that.

NO WAY there's anywhere near $160,000 worth of work in that car, even with all the gator.

Cool idea, but no way.

Plus, I'd hate worrying everytime I went over a speed bump or something, I wouldn't trust that those turbos arent gonna get ripped off of there.

 

3 things:

1) the car looks hot
2) that is the worst safety wire job I have seen in my life
3) The difficulty of putting that turbo is a kindengarden task


There is a company called STS turbos ( http://www.ststurbo.com/) that specializes on fitting rear remote mounted turbos on just about any car. I am biting money that that specific turbo is running very few lbs which would not be too difficult to get it working on such configuration.

Here is a universal turbo system configuration: http://www.ststurbo.com/universal_system

Last but not least, if you are going to do a safety wire job, make sure you do a twist safety wire job at least so that it auto adjust in tension. There is a special twisting pliers that we use in aviation. The turbo would It would have been much better without it(safety wire), the one installed is doing nothing..

By the way, I wish I had that car

One more observation. Look at picture number 5. Observe the rod from the boost solenoid, the flapper seems to be opening in front of a wall, it does not have an exiting route/pipe.

By looking at the picture, it looks like the flappoer just releases the flow into a chamber connected to the turbine/minidownpipe/tailpipes .

Are you guys following me?LOL, some of you might be thinking of me: what a hater!!

That car makes no sense. Where are the damn televisions in the headrests with all that other crap they have done to the car.

 

Number figures sounds nice tho Gotta luv the sound of the M5 V10

 

omg that car is sick.......but i wouldn't spend 350 grand for it

 

Def not worth 100 grand to me.

 

Hate the wheels!

 

i am going to start off saying that its a nice car and i am sure its really fast...

ok now

350K is a lot for that little work....

the welds are horrible, i would assume the turbo lag would be pretty bad bing all of that inter cooler piping and then a large FMIC

i do not like how the intercooler pipe connects to the 2nd turbo and its a straight up T no nice bend.

im think this car was built to say "I have a TT V10" thats it the turbo routing does not look very well thought out. like half are T bolts the other half are just hose clamps

 

That car is a hackjob, look at the damn duct tape on the oil pump under the car. Ill give em 50k for it

 

but ugly welds I could do a better job with my eyes close and by the way I don't even weld
