Total BMW E30 M3/320is Rolling Road Day 20/5/06

Hi all,

I've checked this doesn't clash with any M3 events but if this isn't in the right place, mods please move/delete as appropriate.

This will be a rolling road day looking at the differences between all the E30 M3s and 320is that share the lovely S14

The day will be held at Northampton Motorsport http://83.138.170.26/northamptonmotorsport/ on the 20th May, starting at 9.00am and costs £30 each. Max of 35 cars with just the 1 power run each which measures power (both wheels and fly) and torque with a graph printout. For the mag feature we'll focus on about 15 cars (most likely ranging from standard to mild and wild mods).

Those who would like to attend, could you post here (or PM if you'd rather) with name, car, engine derivative, mods (if any), mileage and just to be really anal - type of fuel used. Oh and if you could post what kind of power and torque you're expecting, that would be cool.

Any questions, please feel free to ask away as I'm sure I've missed something

1. Team TBMW and The Ewok - non-cat 200bhp model, Supersprint Race system, BTB prototype DTM manifold, DTM-style carbon airbox, Catcams 283/283 cams, Alpha N, 178,000 Kms, Optimax. Anticipated results - 240bhp, 185lbf.ft torque.

4. Simon & Tony Oke - 1988 E30 320is, 64000kms, standard apart from SuperSprint exhaust, runs on Optimax, not sure on outputs but would hope for 180ish at the flywheel (150ish at the wheels).

5. Simon 1990 M3 215bhp, 175000km, Supersprint race exhaust, rest standard, would like to see 215bhp! Oh, run on normal Shell unleaded as optimax is hard to find around here!

8. Jonathan Sharratt. '88 320is, 210k KMs, Alpha-N, CF airbox, Bartolli backbox, Optimax fuel. Anything between 140-180 at the wheels!!!! I also have a '88 M3 EVO II which i might bring as well if i get it working by then. 80k miles, standard engine.

9. John Howell, 1988 M3 149,000km schrick cams 285/285,Alpha-N cf airbox, supersprint exhaust,optimax,last dyno 254bhp @ flywheel, no reading for torque but would expect about 175/180.

11. Dave DMX 2.5 Sport Evo engine approx 35k on rebuild. Shrick 284/ 272(E3). 215 manifold, miltec, Optimax and who knows what management. Currently the Motec is not installed and running std setup but the wiring is all still there, if the guy who wants to buy it hasn't taken it i'll hook it back up. Last dyno 260bhp / 190t at Powerstation (optimistic?) Wouldn't expect more than 240 if the Montronic is on it though.

12. Martin Howard-Smith. 90k Sport Evo with 284/276 cams Maxx A/N and CF Airbox. Last dyno run was 244 @crank and 181 torque on Bexleys dyno. The car was mapped on 95 ron, but I run it on Optimax.

14. Paul Shepherd. Its a standard Evo2 with a Dastek Uni-Q fitted and AFM removed. Dunno what power to expect as had some issues recently with it, but should be atleast standard 220BHP. Made 226BHP and 170ftlbs ATF on Dasteks rollers when Gerry mapped it. Was mapped on BP Ultimate, but running on Tesco's 97 at the moment.

15. Aaron Weddell. 1986 E30 M3, standard except Milltek exhaust with (drum roll please) 300,000km on the clock. I'd expect about 185bhp at the fly.  And possibly to have the lowest reading of the day!

Cheers Dave, added you to the list.

Uwe, it's certainly a possiblity but I just think it will complicate things... we'll probably be struggling for time as it is (depending on final numbers obviously) although there is the potential to do this at the end if there is time.

Nick, I maybe up for this with my Evo2. Although there is a little attention needed before I can commit.
