I think that is impressive - makes me want to jump in headfirst, and with those straight pipes, it must howl something wicked.

You are approaching the 1000 crank hp mark.
those straight pipes were so loud in the dyno room I had to plug my ears! it’s a fantastic sound.
Right up there with a gt3 scream haha!
(I actually prefer the sound with the turbo whistle)

I did the rest of the stage4 install if you have any questions DM me.
Thanks. I did everything but turbos(Stage 3) myself as well and provided install pics and a write up. Just no meth kit install pics around.
When I do it I will post.

My car is going under the knife this weekend, I can try and get some pictures of my methanol install for you. The frunk part is the easiest IMO.

Not too much of help on the gauge and where you'd get Tmap boost from. Is it a wire, or an actual boost fitting reference port for your kit?

When are you guys releasing your Meth Only Controller (not JB4) , that powers from the OBD2 connector directly (not Tmaps) ?

Finally have time to work on the real setup that I've been waiting for. Syvecs, Twin G30-770, billet intake manifold/PI kit, all new fuel system, etc.

We're still working on that. I have one of those controllers on my 335i, it's triggering and powering my second LPFP directly with PWM control, no relays etc.

I have no idea anymore, paid for the setup back in July LOL. Just haven't had time to work on my part of the build (turbo kit fabrication) Then sending it back down to Evospec for Syvecs/tuning, fueling and billet intake manifold. I believe it's going to be the SRM manifold, need to double check. I want to put the built motor and PDK to work

So, what kind of power are you expecting...?

Steven,

I can't imagine what your car must pull like.

I'm in the wheels/springs/exhaust/DCS group for mods. This car is scary fast enough for me as it is.

On kill mode I would like to see it hit 1200whp on our dynojet. Low 3's 60-130mph and even a 200mph run in the 1/2mile and I'll be super satisfied.
I know non of that is easy, but based on my recipe and speaking to a few people. This is easily doable with the setup and parts I have chosen.

So, that's going to be around 1400hp at the crank; is the motor built?

Yessir! This is the setup right now as it sits:

Evospec Built 4.0 with Stage 1 headwork
Dodson high stage clutch kit with billet pan and bracing
SRM Port injection spacer kit (not active at the moment but installed)
BMS JB4 + Cobb tuned by M engineering
BMS Y pipe and Tial BOV
BMS Methanol kit with Dual BM10 nozzles
BMS 3.5" Intakes
BMS Ethanol content analyzer
Do88 Inlets
Tial Intercoolers
Pure850 VTG turbos

Don't think I'm forgetting anything.

Dodson high stage clutch kit with billet pan and bracing

I have to admit, I am very curious of the longevity of transmission components at this power level. Historically, with the exception of the odd motor here and there, most of the failures I have induced from modifying vehicles has been with transmissions.

There seems to be a number of folks that have had some kind of PDK issue, from chattering clutches, to leaks, to solenoid failures, random electronic warnings/message, over a wide range of mileages (and models), but I do not recall anyone posting anything about grenading their gearbox whilst feeding it 1400 odd HP - is this type of reliability associated with the overall design of the PDK or is it, in your case, a function of having it rebuilt with Dodson components?

I think it is truly impressive that you, Sam and a select few are capable of building daily driven cars like this - I am just jealous of you guys in that, I live in a place where I will never really be able to enjoy something such as a build like that, without serious exposure to jail.

Good stuff.
