Finally! OFFICIAL Turbo Z4 M COUPE DAILY BUILD THREAD!
Hey guys!
Im new here, I know, but I have been lurking for a while. I am rebuilding a wrecked 07 M coupe with more than just body panels, however. I will be updating this thread over the next couple of weeks with pictures, as the car is repaired and turbo kit is fitted. I will be working with several companies, whom I wont mention until the end of the build and its success. But, after all these years, someone found a good solution on being able to tune these "turbo" cars, and I will be the first person/future distributor for them. Anyways, so the start. 2007 M coupe 28,XXX Miles Bone stock. The heart? ARP headstuds MLS Gasket ( still deciding on thickness, oem or bigger) Radium Universal Catch Can Kit with Petcock drain kit and custom aluminum mount. Mounts against passenger side firewall. http://www.radiumauto.com/Universal-...-Kit-P178.aspx CutoutController QTP cutout wireless controller box. http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/Wireless/ EngineMount Custom fabricated remote engine mount and remote isolator mount. Moves engine isolator mount forward 7" to make space for turbo. Exhaust Custom fabricated full turbo exhaust with QTP exhaust cutout, Eisenmann Race exhaust. http://www.eisenmann-sportauspuff.de...3_2l_252kW.php FexSensor Siemens Flex fuel sensor with -6AN quick disconnects and mount.

Mounts to the inatke manifold and base of the block near bellhousing. http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-pa...ass-regulator/ FuelFilters Black inline -6AN fuel filters with fuel lines to regulator and rail. Mounts to middle of the base of the block. FuelRail Custom billet fuel rail with -6 ends and top feed. Interooler Front mount intercooler kit for Z4M with Tial Q BOV's. Requires front bumper beam removal. MidPipe Custom fabricated stainless 3 inch exhaust midpipe with flex tube and QTP electric cutout. Oilcooler Setrab oilcooler with stainless lines and -10AN fittings and custom mounting brackets. Mounts to the top of intercooler. 50-625-7612 Setrab series 6, 25-row oil cooler, 22mm ports 263.00 OilLines Left to right. Turbo coolant line, Oil feed line, Valve cover oil drain. Surge Custom fabricated surge tank with dual Bosch 044 fuel pumps and relays. SurgeTankLines Stainless -6 fuel lines from fuel sender to surge tanks and to engine bay. Routes over differential and length cut for truck mounted surge tank. Turbo Garrett GTX35R with twin scroll 1.05ar and custom cover for Z4M routing. https://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbo...arger#GTX3582R TurboManifold Custom fabricated tubular twin scroll manifold and dual Tial MV-S wastegates. http://www.tialsport.com/index.php/t...egates/62-mvsx TurboOilDrain Stainless turbo oil drain to oil pan with -10AN fittings. VacuumBlock Billet aluminum vacuum block with ProEFI 5 Bar map sensor and turbosmart electric boost controller. VacuumRail Modified OEM vacuum rail with -6 fitting welded to back. HPF polished intake manifold w/o HPF Logo. Clutch is a South Bend Stage 3. Pump gas 600WHP GOAL. DAILY DRIVEN, practically STOCK block besides the hardware/gaskets. Future plans for E85, perhaps low compression pistons/rods as well, and eventually push the car to 750-800WHP Let the games BEGIN! |

By first person I mean, based in the United States. There are currently 3 turbo M coupe Z4s, one of which is making nearly 1000WHP on a built motor.
They exist, they work, and they will now be accessible by the general market after my trial! |

A few things to note here: you're not the first in the US, the "working" ones don't really work as they should, and I'll check back in two to three years when you finish the tuning... Trevor's car (which seems to be the inspiration of your build) has been through three or four standalone ECUs and two and half years of tuning, so I don't think your car will be much different. Good luck though.

Actually, there have been 2 attempts in the USA for these. HPF failed, and the last one which was done by lab 22 worked but the owner decided to go to flex fuel, and they faced new issues they couldnt resolve and parted the car out.
Who is trevor? I know of basar who has a stand alone/e46m3 ecu and the cluster doesnt function along with many other options. |

Actually there have been working turbo cars, though far from daily drivers.
The first one I saw was Mike Essa's drift car - a 2.5i with a turbo S54 swap. Practically nothing on that car was stock.
