E30 M3 2.3 with a few extras
Discussion
That engine rebuild must have cost a pretty penny!!! 270bhp is a huge amount from an s14.
Mine has 232bhp with the same cams but no headwork.....that is a great result.....dont suppose you could pm me the cost as Im thinking about some more engine work on mine.
Has it got a carbon airbox and is it the dastek piggy back that Paul fitted or the unichip?

Unfortuantely it wasnt as cheap as rebuilding a mk2 valver Mine has 232bhp with the same cams but no headwork.....that is a great result.....dont suppose you could pm me the cost as Im thinking about some more engine work on mine.

but the end result was most definitely worth it. The engine wants to scream past 8k and it seriously pulls all the way whereas before you could feel it tailing off. Paul has kept it safe and limited it to 8k and the overall result is fantastic, with loads of pull at the bottom (probably due to the head work) with a nice linear torque curve. Ill post some graphs up as soon as i have them. (Hopefully today) :-)Once the engine build was sorted before it was mapped, Paul checked compression and it was at 220psi so very healthy(before it was 160 - 140 and i think one was as low as 120). It has the carbon airbox, with the Dasteq UniQ piggy back ecu. Removing the standard MAF makes a massive difference and the carbon airbox give you the noise. Funnily enough my car made very similar power to yours with the same cams before the carbon airbox/ headwork. Ill pm you some details but youre better off speaking with Paul or emailing sales@grantmotorsport.com as im not that great when it comes to engine stuff.

Hi all,
Just thought id pot up the final dyno graphs after the mapping. The mapping is absolutely spot on and the ported head seems to have ramped up the torque at the bottom end. Happy days!
Only downside is ive got to wait 3-6 months to drive it again.
Heres two runs that Paul did on the dyno, loaded and inertia. We both think the loaded is the more accurate.
Cheers,
Warren

Cheers guys :-)
Yeah i was my car at edition 38. I've had a string of modified VW's and im still with a VW club called 'Grounded'. Im still in the club despite not owning a VW because i still love the scene but mainly as the lads are a good laugh and its an excuse for a drinking session.

I try not talking about cost on the internet just in case my Mrs checks my internet threads! ;-)
That car looks suberb - noticed youve got the Sport Evo splitter - they are NLA now - worth a fortune! How long have you had it? And how long it it take you to clean that grille?!?!?!? :-p
Bodie; Did your bro get it from Munich Legends? That where mine was first imported from. Not sure how the plate allocation works on an import though.....

Cheers, I've had it just under 2 years and I love it.
As for the splitter, It's not a genuine splitter as I couldn't justify the cost.
These M3's cost enough to keep with the maintenance without buying all of the goodies that you want.
I used it as a daily driver for about 18 months but now it lives in the garage and will just be used in the summer months.
I normally use autoglym cleaning products for the grill and plastic bits, I can also highly recommend using Autoglyn high definition wax, It gives a really deap shine, especially with black paint.
I've seen your car on S14.net and was very impressed with it on there.
