PES M3 Intake Off Must See

PES M3 Intake Off Must See

We were doing some R&D on our new M3 and took this great video showing the intake plenum off . You have to watch this video, its to cool to see the ITB's working . And the sound from this thing is amazing.

We were looking into the possibility of creating a roots style supercharger system for the new M3. The intake plenum had to be removed as well as other items to gain access to the engine valley in order to obtain measurements that will be plotted in CAD. We are still crunching numbers and have not yet determined what direction we will be heading in.

Would be a nice option, as everyone else is doing a centrifugal.

So I've been told, I don't think we would go that route.


If nothing else we will be releasing an AMAZING ECU upgrade and most likely be introducing some other mods , offering enthusiasts a "staged system" . I'm working directly on this project and will keep you guys up to date.

P.S. I envy all of you M3 owners. This car is disgusting in its stock condition and I cant wait to drive it on the track once the weather brakes up here in PA.

It sure is an interesting and exciting time for the M3 owners.

Awesome mods making real hardcore hp are coming up very soon.
Sounds like a good time to pick one up. I've been trying to sell the GT3.

How is a roots type blower possible with the 8 ITB's?

you would have to leave the 8T-body's on your work bench and go with , say 2 large ones. than a cast manifold and alot of tuning ......... but thats just an example.

I cant really say what we have planed for the M3 as of right now, we have alot of things that were really getting down and dirty on with her and im not sure what we are going to focus our efforts on.
