MOTIV 869whp on their E90

[Jake@MHD]

So this still has the stock plastic intake on?

What?

 

[Slow335]

Amazing results on just e60! By the way just checked out the website and the boostbox seems to be sold out. Any word on when they'll be back in stock?

What?

Does the engine still have the stock intake manifold on? I know Motiv was working on an intake and had shown some prototype pics on a few occasion. EOS or Fab Factory etc?

Ahh gotcha, intake mani. Was thinking intake airbox lol. I am pretty sure it's still the stock intake mani.

Honestly, I'm having a recirc wastegate downpipe made for my custom exhaust. I can't go fast without it sounding like I'm racing when I'm not even WOT.

Do you have anything drawn up yet or have a shop in mind to do the fab work? I'll be having mine done as soon as kit goes in; just looking for ideas.

Highlights
-Motiv built block
-stg 3 head w/high lift cams
-Motiv 900 turbo kit Xona 9567 with recirculating wastegate

Any pictures of the recirculating dump?

My setup is top mount twin scroll, any recommendations on where to place the flanges for the dump to feed into, ie. downpipe, midpipe, one in each? Just curious if there should be any consideration to back pressure based on location.

Yeah, just a 3.5" single downpipe all the way back. Y before the diff into dual 3" with a dual mode muffler, actuated using a vacuum flapper:

Nice setup! Thanks for sharing.

By request, I've cleaned up comments (both sides) which took a wrong turn. Back OT

100% full weight and caged.

We meant to dilute E98 down to E80-85 but we ended up diluting E85 down to E63. Grabbed fuel from the wrong container.
Shes just starting to sing at 30 psi. The all season tires weren't helping and slipping pretty good, which you can see in the orange line in the graph. The MT's just get destroyed on the dyno.

Injectors? So what injectors fit?

M/T's + dyno = bad time

This car ran at WannaGoFast Virginia this past weekend. Looking forward to MOTIV posting their results. Anything over 165 MPH at that altitude would be very impressive.

 

[Streetz65]

Can't wait till y'all turn the boost up some more

 

[Fishayyy]

Hell yea, great work guys! Cant wait to see 1000+HP!

 

[langsbr]

Rolled a 172 at the WGF in WV. They said most cars were down 5mph or more due to elevation. They said they will be at the Ocala event at Sea level. 180 possible?

 

[Blaster400]

172 damn that's fast. Congrats Motiv!

 

[ninjacoupe]

172 at that altitude is amazing wow

 

[Jeffman]

I saw the MOTIV Facebook posting. Damn impressive E90!

 

[Chris@Motiv]

Thanks guys. Yeah we did a 172.4 in the standing half mile. The car ran flawless and we didnt feel like messing with boost or anything. The DA ended up being around 5500 so simple things like cooling were becoming an issue. We bogged really bad on the starts because of some stuff we were trying out that we still need to work on to fine tune. A last minute fix to the clutch pedal and switch kinda screwed us. Excuses aside we were very happy, we knew we wouldn't see the cars full potential at this location. So now its time to find a little more traction, some stability at 165+ and a lot more boost. Thank you to everyone who came out and stopped by the tent. It was nice meeting all of you.
