nitrous?

[chance]

Has anyone seen nitrous on a e46 m3.. If so what kit, how big a shot, and any other info you may know. thanks

i dont think its a good idea to put nitrous on an e46 m3

I'm gonna shoot that idea right down. Nitro is not good. Sure it's cheap power, but the motor for that car is well over 10k.


If you really feel you need more power in an E46 M3 and want to have the motor last.....

Just toss a blower under the hood.

Here ya go.

I agree with L8APX. From what i've read, the e46 is a high complicated n/a race oriented engine that is already tweeked for maximum performance. I would definatley not consider nitrous without first researching proper compression for running nitrous with your particular engine, and probally let someone else be the guiney pig with nitrous and an e46 M3.

You best bet IMO would be to upgrade air induction, headers, exhaust systems, engine software, etc. Also, I hear that they are producing a low boost blower for the e46 m3 application (AA?). Are you not pleased with the power that your massive BMW powerplant is already producing ?

333 Horses aren't enough for you?

Focus on suspension modifications and go to the track.

Not even......

No I am satisfied with 270 or 280hp with a car that is so heavy, I do alot of racing on the weekends. Also I have upgraded my exhaust, cold air, software, throttle bodies, so on all of these really produce minimal benefit at maximum cost. I have always had fast cars.. I think this m3 is my favorite but not the fastest. I would really like to get more from the motor.. Dinan is due to release a supercharger this year and I will look in to that.

Oh so your one of those speed demons . Have you upgraded you suspension like komp said? Also, do you happen to have any pictures of you car (engine bay) or dyno graphs? I'd be really interested in seeing how your car looks and what you're making power wise .

[chance]

I have upgraded my suspension I have fk coilovers, and there are some pics of my car in my gallery not really recent though.. I also have iforged wheels ,pirelli tires, hamann pedals, ebrake handle, dvd player, and some other stuff. I proably have 12 0r 15000 in my car total. I like the car just not the power

[chance]

Also I will be dynoing my car at tuner bash in panama city this weekend

You have one sick e46 m3 my friend! Keep us informed on the dyno and try and get some higher res pics of your car if you can (desktop ). Sweet ride!!

So do what you were just complaining about. Take the weight off. Either strip it, or start spending money on carbon parts. You might try to take everythign out of the car, then take the sound deadening out, and put the interior back in.

How could I strip weight. What would be the best thing to do. I am going to order some new lightweight recaro seats and remove my rear next month but what could I do that would really help.

thanks for the cpmpliment on the car

sell that puppy and get an e36 with 3.2 OBD1 and turbo it. then strip it (look at Dado's)
