Heres my Dirty 30...

[Stu]

looking good. how'd you figure 200hp?

well, i raced my bros E30 M3 and beat em...but that was then when it was stock..now he has straight pipes and pushes arpound 205-210...and he beat me slightley, so i figured its gonna be in the 200 range..give or take a few.

err, not a very good way to claim horsepower. :idea: ;)

Very nice looking E30 for sure. The wheels look good, from that one shot.

Why didn't you do some parts interchange while you had the bottomend apart to do the balancing? You could have thrown in a stroker crank!

I lined up with my girls '02 WRX (w/ real BBS RGR's) and I beat her. I must have 227hp.


Did I forget to metion that she stalled? :oops:

ok, i beat my friends WRX w/exhaust,BOV, and intake...did i mention that he just got the car, is 16, and doesnt know how to drive for shit.... :roll: :roll:

[Rob]

so you beat a non-broken in car with an inexperienced driver?

that sounds like at least 210hp to me

[GaryE30]

Make that 250hp, I'm sure there were some stickers on that WRX.

Just bustin' yer balls man.

[Digitalwave]

E30 M3's with straight pipes don't make 210hp anyways.

How much HP does an e30 M3 have with straight pipes

[aaron_silva]

Dyno it. There are too many variables to tell hp figures. It varies from car to car.

thats why for now, i just estimate..and i estimate 200...

well you're wrong.. factory is 168 at the crank. Your only listed mod is an intake. If you set it up properly with a heatsheild, you gained maybe 2hp. without one, you probably lost 5hp. in any case, that doesn't add up to 200hp - some strokers don't even put down 200hp. chip, exhaust, intake, will gain you maybe 10 peak hp if you're lucky.

[aaron_silva]

Very bad estimate. I would estimate your hp at 150-160. An unbelievabley built to shit m20 ($9000 throw into it) 3.0l stroker dynoed at 212 hp. If I base my estimate off of those facts, it shows that your estimate is wayyy off.
