GT35R M3 application

[SWReedy]

anyone have any experience or data with the GT35R on an OBDII E36 M3?

[Highboosted]

I keep thinking thats what Dado had on his 99....

Don't hold me to that.

[SWReedy]

haha, I wish I were familiar with users, I'm new to DTMpower. Though it seems like I've already managed to take advantage of one of the complete vehicle classifieds haha. I am, however, experienced with Bimmers, just not with forced induction on E36s.

yea, if memory serves correct, you can make over 550rwhp with them at 25 psi if done right. Good luck if you decide to go with this build up.

da-motorsports.com makes 1000hp with obd-II, but yet again it has 8.5:1 compression and 38psi

Thats abosutely insane if they do...but im not all entirely sure its a GT35R...it sounds like 38psi would be out of its efficeny. Please send me the link if you have any more info. on it. thnx

Wheres eddie farcon? www.azevedomotorsports.com Im sure the boys at Azevedo can address any questions about the setup you might have. I wouldnt hesitate to call a shop or manufacturer such as active autowerke. While they dont offer a gt35r in their packages they do do custom setups on OBD2 bmws

heres the site: http://da-motorsport.com/projeler/evolutionm3/index.htm it is a custom made gt series turbocharger, don't really know anything else about the turbo. da-motorsports do really good work getting 1000hp from the s50.

Da-motorsports in a crock. he clams that it makes 1000 rwhp yet he refuses to show proof (aka dyno or timeslip) its been around for a long time. yet he never shows proof. do some research on other forums about this. bimmer forum has gone over this alot.

[SWReedy]

yeah, I definitely don't trust the Turks

I wast thinking of building it myself, was just wondering if anyone else on the forum was using a GT35R and had any input.

I hear a lot of great stuff about the Mitsubishi turbos though...

Thats all b.s they havent showed a dyno sheet in years...its all claims man. You want power with dyno sheets go to ics. Supposedly theyre making 1000hp with a log type mani.

Wow that's awesome! I love dtm for its wealth of information and expert advice.

[yellowm3turbo]

as for has anyone used a gt35r application. yes. infact i was looking at that until i found a new project but people do it just fine. if i remember correctly you can get upto 550whp with the right tuning. but you would have to build ur motor

A GT35R is a very common turbo to put on an i6 BMW. It works very well. You could make 700 rwhp with the right size housing, but it would have a lot of lag. A common size is the 0.82 hot side. Theres a member on bimmerf.c that put down 635 rwhp on a m52 motor with just a thicker headgasket and arp studs. RIDICULOUS! Unfortunately the s50/s52 owners dont have as strogn an engine as the m52 so we would need a bit more as far as internals go. What else do you want to know?


I wouldnt completely doubt damotorsports claims. If I recall they are usign a 1.xx A/R gt40r. That's huge.
