The M3 is officially blown...

[Turbocharged400sbc]

did you clean the maf sensor wires? replaced the fuel filter?

when i get my snapon back i can loan it to you so you can check fuel trims and make sure the mailorder tune is close enough.... it has a movie function to record the pids

you get a WB yet to dble check fueling up top?

 

[Turk]

I have not done any of that yet. Nobody does it so far with these kits, and nobody has changed the fuel pump either.

 

[sinisterc6]

Cant wait to see it, glad everything worked out and your enjoying the new power. bo0ST is very very fun

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

not the fuel pump the fuel filter... unless yours is yet another of those shitty in tank non replaceable bastards everyone seems to be using nowadays...

Sorry, I meant filter. Didn't change that. Maybe I'll get the dealer to do it for free =)

What does it do to your warranty?

What does it do to your warranty?

I think if my motor blows with a vortech on it, I'm SOL.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

thats when you yank everything off, throw the stock pcm back in and get it warrantied budd....thankfully no one has had any issues with those kits but i always seem to have lady luck piss on me so i woulda saved the OE pcm till it was outta warranty lol

 

[JDHedman]

Cant wait to see this thing punish some bitches.. Such a sexy machine congrats

 

[Jean Ralphio]

that should be fun. Do you have plans to dyno it?

i expect a ride at some point in time (and maybe a race )

Well everything that was done to the car can be reversed pretty easily, and I can always send the ECU back to them to get retuned back to stock.

 

[SleeperLS]

Well Dark must not care at all then haha, sometimes you gotta get raped by imports.

I have heard some of the new year ecu's can be read at the dealership and see if there have been pcm changes or not. Hopefully that won't be an issue. It is just my opinion, but I would get a wideband just for security. Then, if you decide to go more extreme in the future you are good to go tuning. And, if your filter gets clogged or some other factory fueling issue happens you can see the AFR change before your shit goes boom.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

i doubt it, they have ways of checking if the pcm has been reflashed x many times and if they dont corespond to the official vin related dataset of service they would prob deny the warr claim.
when i worked at APC we got all the work that MW wouldnt do cause they voided the warranty/etc
edit and those were like 03-04ish models iirc

I wish grabber still had his car, he used to claim eating up ESS M3s with ease from a roll...

 

[Krash7051]

congrats dude, can't wait to see pictures.

 

[utryd2]

Bad ass man!

 

[Euro]

That's awesome. In for pics/vids

 

[Turk]

I'm sure we will get videos up.

 

[moviebuff]

awesome! Congrats on it being completely done!

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Awesome man. Y supercharger and not turbo?

 

[Primalzer]

I think if my motor blows with a vortech on it, I'm SOL.

Yeah I wasn't sure if you blew the rear-end or something like that, they would still leave you SOL. Like GM not covering that kid with the blown motor Z06 because he had R compound tires. Seems like manufacturers look for anything to try to get out of warranty work, didn't know if BMW was the same way.

 

[Turk]

BMW is the same way unfortunately. I didn't go turbo, because there aren't any kits out for it yet, only superchargers.

 

[02BlueGT]

congrats on gettin it done Brah

 

[KAR]

:likes: congrats and with the new power are you still thinking about ferrari's?

Ah Gotcha.
