BimmerWorld's Bergsteiger E36 M3 OVER 1,000WHP - FINAL dyno before heading to Colorado

Показать описание

It's been four years in the making, but finally the BimmerWorld Bergsteiger E36 M3 Hill Climb Monster is finished and headed to Colorado for the 99th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. Up until now the car has been running a stock BMW Motorsport P63 (found in an M8 GTE - rated at 592hp) in stock form with upgraded turbos from Weistec Engineering that stretched the power to the mid to upper 600's to the tire. Plenty for us to get LOTS of testing and development underway while we had another P63 in the works - deemed the "big" motor. It's the same displacement, but worked inside out by Roush Engines in Livonia, Michigan so that we can increase the power well over 1,000 so we can hang with the big boys up at 14,000ft!

The last few days before the car was strapped into the trailer were pretty intense. Between the engine going onto the dyno at Roush in Michigan, from it landing at the Bergsteiger headquarters, to getting installed and the rest of the car assembled, to the chassis dyno to finalize tuning, to its final test day at a nearby airfield, it was less than 4 days. The team worked through the night - getting the car on the dyno for tuning around 4 AM!

Final numbers are around what we were hoping and we still have a little more we can squeeze out of it as needed. Having a conservative 1,110whp and almost 1,100wtq is going to help push this monster to the peak!
