Twin-Turbo E92 BMW M3 Hits The Dyno, V8 Sounds Amazing

With downsizing having reached each and every segment of the go-fast industry, N/A heroes like the E9X-generation BMW M3 are getting more attention than ever. However, there are owners out there ready to renounced their atmospheric engines for the sake of performance.

Now, before anybody judges such a build, keep in mind that the factory setup of the said M3 means its V8 delivers 420 ponies and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm). Well, you can get that kind of muscle from a hot hatch these days.

As such, I've brought along an E92 BMW M3 Coupe build that seems to have just been taken out of the oven. The project has surfaced on Instagram and the details are delicious.

By the looks of it, the driver is aiming for a setup that can stil be streetable, which is splendid, since it means this beast will get to enjoy plenty of miles out on the road. Of course, the owner of the velocity toy will also attend drag racing events, as, for instance, he recently expressed his desire to take the beast to a half-mile gathering.

In its current form, the S65 motor of the M3 delivers around 850 hp and the 649 lb-ft of torque at the rear wheels, which makes for a crank output of about 950 ponies and 735 lb-ft (1,000 Nm).

The trip to the gym involves a twin-turbo kit supplied by Gintani, with this currently delivering 15 lbs of boost.

This M3 also comes with a stick shift, so it's safe to say this is one of the builds that waves the save-the-manuals banner.

Now, one of the dyno videos below (the first one is the most recent, showing the "final" form of the car) will allow you to see the V8 being revved all the way up and that's because the redline has been pushed to 8,500 rpm.
