Wow, the M3 setup is that strong? What is the allure of the 8.8 kit then? It's awful expensive just to have a wider selection of gears.
I think a Motiv twin disc, axles, an LSD with a lockdown and some solid bushings are in my future. Yay for winter build.
Should look into getting a 3.15 diff and subframe dropout from an e92 M3. I think that's my plans for this winter. Get the bigger and stronger diff, subframe, suspension and stronger axles.
that is probably my plan as well. in the future should you need the e92 m3 diff has plenty aftermarket options for stronger internals as well as different final gears. a 3.15 --> 2.93 ratio E92 M3 would be sick for 1/2 mile
Thanks for discussing rear end options. It's something I'm not as familiar with (yet).
Well, my clutch holds the 3-4 shift but doesn't hold up as well on the 2-3 shift. Since the 3-4 shift is fine, I wanted to test my 60-130 time again.
This was my best time BEFORE the shift bog fix.
This is my first try AFTER the shift bog fix.
As you can see, I knocked off 0.3 sec with the fix alone! You can also see the blue line has much less lag in the middle (3-4 shift). The best part about this is that my 3rd gear was actually stronger in the "before" pull as you can see by the 60-70, 60-80, 60-90, 60-100 times. This means I picked up all of the 0.3 difference with the faster shift, and that there is even more on the table. I think with some fine tuning, I'll be able to get a very low 6 second pass on a cold night with a low tank of gas.

I do, but it's not very pretty. I'm hoping new plugs will take care of the timing corrections.

28psi in 3rd and 30psi in 4th.
Yeah, that was my first try. This one was faster: https://datazap.me/u/suspenceful/638-60-130?log=0&data=1-4
Still 1sec for the shift. Faster than the other one, but still a 1sec shift. I think you are at the limits of the 6MT synchro's at this point. Frame of reference. Factory 6AT shift is .600sec, and an xHP Stage 3 6AT is .400sec. Factory DCT is about .050sec and an M3 GTS flashed trans is about .010sec.
Now I have an N54 and an N55 For full details and info, check out the thread I made on XBimmers: https://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1546037

no diesel, no care
Haha, while a diesel would be nicer for towing, I'm happy with my choice. I'm more familiar with the N55 and they never made a 35d M-Sport.
Aw, you gotta at least copy it over to https://x.spoolstreet.comNow I have an N54 and an N55
