here are some better pictures of the parts on and off the car. Will be on the dyno today to do the first test and tune will keep you informed. There will be a Fabspeed exhaust installed in the next pictures and a center bypass from GMG as well. Hope that the members like what we are creating.
BTW it makes all the boost by 2800, it is very nice!

 

Ivan,

nice pics! I'm very interested in seeing dyno graphs. BTW, which Aerocharger model you use, 143/340 or something else??

 

keep it up guys...i keep checking this thread...great stuff...its been copied over to bimmerboost forum...got a some people really admiring your work

 

Thank you for your encouragement!

Ivan took the car to the airport yesterday to run it in high gear for data logging and he sent me a video of it. From the looks of it, he was holding the camera while he was hitting 172 mph
He couldn't go any faster because he ran out of road

By the way, I'm very pleased with overall experience with Ivan and IMA Motorsports! Just a bit longer before I can drive this thing

Here is a video clip of running through the gears up to the top of 5th short a few revs but it shows how the car accelerates and how smooth the power band is. It needs a bit more tuning to get the AFR's where I want them. It is a bit too rich at peak torque and leans out to redline. Still under .88 but needs more fuel. Once completed the car is going to be an awesome car to drive. The video was shot at an airport BTW, not on a public road.

That is simply awesome! So great to see someone do this!

 

nice vid...seems fast!

 

Going to the airport over the weekend to do some marketing video and video captures of the cars running the taxi way 5000' long. Do not ask as I can not say where it is occurring. Sorry security reasons. Awesome connection for us though as I can go there just about any time.

Cars that are coming are:

03 C4S IMA TT
04 GT3 IMA TT
07 GT3 IMA TT
10 GT3 RS NA

 

Ivan,

Hopefully the tune on my car will be 100% when this happens. Maybe, you're purposely making it run 90%, so that you can be the fastest

It will be fun!

See you guys on weekend.

im loving this project, beautiful work IMA! gnathologist, i officially ENVY you! lol...

 

How are things working out? I may be next.

 

Work is coming along great. Working on getting the tune perfect. Want to have a bit of miles on it, but good so far. Will keep you posted.

Cheers

 

Any updates on this?

 

+1....

 

I'm sorry guys for the lack of update. I, too, am anxiously waiting on the car as well.

It is taking a bit longer than we anticipated, as Ivan is R&D to make sure all the hardware placement is perfect for performance and reliability.
Ivan is getting so busy with the shop and he is not sleeping and working on weekends to get this project done for me.

Previously, the radiator was placed under the car with the custom fabricated scoop for the efficient cooling purpose, but we weren't getting the desired temperature with this setup. I was hoping for this underbody setup, because Ivan wanted to eventually fabricate the scoop in carbon fiber. It would have been a nice piece for the kit.
Just today, Ivan has informed me that he has relocated the radiator to the front of the car.

We're still in the final phase of tuning the car. Once everything is done, we'll definitely update you guys. I, for one, definitely can't wait to get my car back.

Thank you all for your support and interest in this project. It's been so long that I even forgot how to drive a manual

Hope to provide you guys with the update, soon!
