My dyno numbers all the way up to 7.5K. Finally.

Congrats Mariano! I still remember the last Fuddrucker's meet a couple years back. It was the first time I saw your car. Some kid had girl problems and peeled out the parking lot, causing the cops to show up (was it a helicopter?) while others cruised to The Hat.

nice - take that S50 swapped M3's. :p

I'd like to see a graph of the torque curve. I know S14's are "peaky" but I bet it makes more low end torque than my engine does at it's best.

[T Verdier]

that thing is the ultimate e30 in my opinion.

[akorcovelos]

where these numbers for his s14 or M20?

s14

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Forget the 245, it's the 193tq that really surprised me. Good for you, enjoy it!

[DarkWing6]

Sweet man! I bet that baby puuullls. Have fun with it.

[SpecM]

seriously, we want to know details on the build!

He does not own an m20.

Nice work Mariano!! I still need to re-dyno mine and tune it some more, but I have other crap to keep me busy for now...

Thanks everyone! Im so happy. Thanks, Ryan! Good to hear from you man! The torque curve took 10-15 ft/lbs from 3800 RPM and inserted them above 5000-7000 from before the rebuild to now. So its more peaky, its got 155 TQ at 4K and only goes up from there. 20 ft/lb gain (150-170) between 3500 and 4500. Then it really shoots up from 4800-5300 it gains 23 ft/lbs and doesnt fall below 185 till 7000. What I just typed is probably really confusing but I tried to give a picture of the TQ curve to those more experienced in dyno numbers. The HP curve is pretty much a straight shot from the word go with a real accelerated gain from 4700-5300 on the way to the 245.

I do always feel like it really comes on cam at around that RPM. It feels like a turbo lag of sorts. I love it, the engine changes from loud to growling beast and the Airbox really comes alive. Anyways, Im much too excited haha.

Engine specs are....

2.5 Liter, 95.5mm bore, 11.25:1 CR, total seal rings, ported head, 101 octane gasoline, evo cams, authentic 48mm Sport Evo TBs, 48mm CF airbox, Alpha N engine management, Gruppe-A 2 piece header, Supersprint center resonator, Custom exhaust (Magnaflow), Ireland spark plug wires, I cant remember everything else. I might be missing some stuff. Ive been building this motor up since 2001 so its been a while since most of this haha.

[SpecM]

holy crap that's a hot build. Congrats, dude, great torque!

That is money well spent in my opinion and something that I have to work for. Congrats now enjoy.
