haha yes i wish it was a 12.3 like i originally posted than fixed to a 13.3 hahaha

Aeryk,

What tires are you using? Stock BMW limited-slip unit?

I know you're car is light as hell, mid-2400's if I remember correctly.

Keep it up,
Stu

[aeryk7]

I did a 13.3 with a 2.2 60 ft last time .My car will be making more power once its on the streets. I get that 60 ft to a flat 2.0 or better and im there and that 12.99999 will be mine

as far as rims...how r u fitting that size rim with those tires? what offset? wut kind of drop?

22mm rears and 20mm fronts, the Style 5's 17" or 18" are close to stock offset
1.2" drop

ya, i'm running NA, no turbo...maybe eventually, bought the manifold for 200 on ebay as a header and i couldn't turn down the price. i kno it's not as efficient of a header as going with even stock manifolds, but it made the exhaust options very simple...plus it ended up sounding super sexy :p

Bing,

What tires are you running?

Michelin Sports 235x35x18 in rears and Falken FK-451's 225x35x18 front

Have the 3.5 in the mail yesterday, need $ to buy the Turner Chip:)
IN the highway, it pulls like a M_F_!

Agressive launch 3,000 rpm, and easy launch a little over 2,000 rpm

Maybe I shouldn't hit the gas much so I get a decent launch?:)

e30polak: are you running just the turbo exhuast or are you actually running a turbo?

those numbers have got to be NA...

well i'll take ur word for it, b/c u've done the trials...wut rpm is everyone launching at for best results? i normally launch at 2700...wut mods have u done? wut gear ratio and tranny r u running? i'm trying to compare to mine...i have an obd1 s52 w/ e36 ZF tranny, 3.25 lsd, 17x7 al around w/ 225/40/17, 24# inj., 3.5 HFM, TMS chip, custom cold air setup, asc and fan delete, 16" high cfm electirc fan, & full 3" exhaust from a turbo manifold back...i'm guessing i'm round 230-235 at the wheels but i'm not sure. i wanna do pullies, r they worth it? then cams eventually...

0-60 in practically 6 secs is horrible, stock e36 m3 runs it in like 5.6....haven't ran my swap at the track yet but i know it should be round 4.8-4.9

I am running 18 x 9 in rears and 18 x 8 in fronts, you will find out that it is almsot impossible to attain these numbers because of the traction in 1st and 2nd, if you aggressively launch you will get wheel spin so it takles longer to reach 0-60 mph

Just by the HP and weight info it looks easy to get 5 secs 0-60. My best to date is a 5.77 with same set up which I did a few days ago.

Maybe has to to with suspension set-up, etc...am running H & R springs and that's it. The swap is bad-ass from 3rd gear and on.
