Bimmerjim recorded a 0-60 of 3.2 secs when running 11.88 @ 110 mph.

That was with no more than 350bhp at the fly.

I'm well into the 5's with mine, so would imagine a setup with a smaller blower would do better as I get little boost in 1st, it waits till 2nd is engaged then rips my ******* head off! LOL

Serious??? I mean i was getting my head round all of this and thats Pagani Zonda quick!

I really dont know what to expect power wise with mine.....
just running a T70 T3 at around 1 bar.....maybe more if Ant lets me!

Jim was running a welded up 2.93 diff and slick tyres and having seen a few of his vids I bet my left bollock he warmed them right up!

What you all have to think about is he "only" did 11.88, there are a few e30's doing 9's so they MUST be doing under 3 secs 0-60 to make that sort of time. Street tires won't allow you do get anywhere near that as you would expect.

I did hear a zoner managed a 11.02 1/4 mile at the pod, away from zoners eyes, he must have hit a low 0-60 for that run!

Issues with traction fozzy?

Yes and No, If I want to have no traction I can, just press harder! There's no way I can have full chat in 1st, 2nd or 3rd without spinning up the wheels, 4th will spin up too but I need to provoke it. I'm only running 10.5psi and I can't see how I would want to go much faster really, I can't think quick enough as it is. When I get another daily to use the red ones getting stripped and boost wound right up, for nowI need it to get to work, hence why I'm such a wimp when it comes to things like the pod, I'd love to play but not at the cost of being car-less again.

karel, on the zone managed an ET10.18 with his m20 turbo. it has around 700hp.

Some seriously quick times there, cant get my head round pound for punch on the M20's.....used to people all in the Jap scene and VW scene spending serious amouts of cash on theirs.

I think theres going to have to be a Turbo meet soon!
Fozzy i know what the daily drive issues like, I have a Clio 172 running around the 200bhp mark, brillenet daily drive but French build quilaity is getting the better of it now. Its been spending most of its time off the road down to silly things like the Xenon headlights blowing....

yeah this is true, a turbo meet would be good, cus when i went to the pod for ultimate bmw, i seen 1 turbo e30 and that was it, i was proper disapointed, everyone talks about them but i never see any of them around!!!!
