The 700 HP VF Engineering BMW M3 - /TUNED
Vložit
- čas přidán 14. 08. 2024
- TUNED visits one o our favorite California tuners, VF engineering, who have upgraded the E92 M3's power, suspension, and brakes in order to turn the m3 from a balanced, focused machine into an absolute monster.
I remember watching this video when they made it. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years now.
10 holy shit
I watch this video every so often but I can't believe it's been 10 years already. How time flies...
That's a wolf in wolf's clothing
7 years later and still an absolute classic that can keep up
@AmirGTR this car has quite a bit more than just a supercharger, and if you watched the first 30 seconds of the video, you'll know that the insane lotus we were supposed to test blew its motor, so we needed a backup plan in like 12 hours. I doubt many people out there could make a 700 horsepower M3 just appear in 12 hours, and I'm particularly proud of the film we made with it, given the last-minute arrangements.
You all prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Preston Langston instablaster ;)
@Valentino Anderson i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Valentino Anderson it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Preston Langston no problem :)
this is one of my favorites. Matt Farah your a cool guy keep doing what you doing haha
this is the best e92 bmw m3 video i have seen on youtube
Love that shot, focused on his face, you put in front of the car. love love love it.
@TheSmokingTire gotcha... stick sickness! Love it Matt.
L.O.T.U.S. = Lots of trouble, usually serious.
I love Lotus cars, but that is some hilarious stuff.
Thomas A. Anderson In the early days of automotive history, British cars were sought after and world famous, but later on the German and Japanese cars became much better, and the british car industry is falling eversince.
Thomas A. Anderson While the German were working, the Brits were protesting.
The british make some of the best sportscars in the world (McLaren, Aston Martin, Jaguar etc)
Charlie Soesbergen McLaren is truly the best, but it is so high class, really not affordable for ordinary folks who are not billionaires, so is Aston Martin.
Jaguar makes affordable cars, but they cannot outperform the german rivals, matbe Lotus is the affordable true british sports car, I always wanted an Elise.
I miss these videos
Very nice car and sound. Nothing more to say but wanting to get behind the wheel and drive.
Can't believe this was 8 years ago. I still remember the day it came out like it was yesterday.
How long do you think the stock S65 internals will live at nearly 700 flywheel HP? The rod bearings on stock S65s become unhappy in stock configuration and eventually rearrange the rods to the wrong side of the block. Is there any long term testing of these kits out there?
What this guy said..bye bye rod bearings and stock clutch in 5 months.
+TheTapdancer4ever If I put a small supercharger that only creates 4-5 psi and stays under 400 ft/lbs. Do you think I could still use it as everyday car?
+flatratetec just upgrade to BE rod bearings with ARP bolts and future-proof it. I just had that done on my 85,000mi e90 M3
+TheTapdancer4ever wise words man. doesn't take much abuse to headbutt the stock tolerances.
+flatratetec Hope it does better than that lotus
I want to see a tuned v10 m5 or m6
Everything about this car is nice. The Vortech, the rear deck lid, the color, the cage. Very very nice!!!
Those wheels give the car an excellent "track" appearance! thumbs up
he ment a sleeper amongst other M3's it looks stock on the outside but modified under the hood.....
The day any M3 is Considered a "Sleeper" BMW did something wrong...
A decade later its still a beauty
This episode was spectacular, camera shots from outside the windscreen were great and so was the audio recording of the sound. Thank you.
BMW vs. Mercedes = Lime vs Lemon.
Same yet different.
red / green apple
BUT...I love green apples
olivevideogames And I like pink apples.. :D
Except lemon is not a good thing when it comes to cars.
I need this car in my life
this guys sunglasses have a reflection that i was used to when i played games in 2003
E92 is a sick model. IT was tested with the test of time. Still looks modern and slick. Amazing power on 335i!!
What I want to know is where he got that M Sport jacket!
Whats the music that plays in the last minute of the video????? its so up beat
You guys are really staying committed to the quality standard when you created the //drive channel. love it
I supercharger mine i got the stage 2 supercharger VF engineering . 600 hp to the wheels . I am so happy . The car runs like stick until you step on it it’s when power kicks in .
who can hate bimmers?
a large proportion of mercedes drivers, but they're mostly bigoted dicks anyway
BeefPlays and old, really old
I only hate them when they don't use their blinkers
which is ALL the time :)
Welp more stereotypes :/
+KGSVA it's usually other way around
Wait if it made 575 at the wheels, why did they say 700hp. Yes, I know that its 700 flywheel hp but is it really that much drive train loss or are they just boosting the number?
could be from a heartbreaker mustang dyno?
It made only 350 whp stock which is pretty much on par with that, in terms of drivetrain loss
+WowzaBoyz but how that much.... Gear box loss is about 1%, differential 2%?, shafts max 1% i think, tyres grip maybe make most power loss?
+WowzaBoyz found very interesting info about these losses :) so i share www.carthrottle.com/post/the-difference-between-bhp-and-whp-explained/
+Anthony Benanti about 18% drivetrain loss, seems about dead on.
Another great episode of Tuned, thanks Matt for the good work.
Great video. DRIVE is really making a mark on the auto-journalism arena.
14 GRAND LITTLE MONEY???LOL, THATS A NEW COROLLA RIGHT THERE BUDDY.
Not too bad for a supercharger setup and tune. Forced Induction is expensive for newer cars.
Math time! 14k for a new Corolla, at 132hp. That comes out to $106 PER HORSEPOWER. 14k for an extra 350 horses, that comes out to $40 per horsepower. Which is a better deal?
We'll 14g for 300 hp which is more than your carolla lol and it's for people that already dumped 70gs on an m3 so 14k is little money to them
trevor philips 70k for a m3. Damn thats cheap. they are like around the 550K usd mark in norway if they have a tuning kit
TG Lasers I don't think your conversion is correct, man.
That is one nice car..minus the sleeper look. I would want other cars to shiver when they look at this beast and not force my hand in proving myself on public roads.
This is the best idea in my opinion. huge fan of the Gallardo.
another great review, music i.e. engine, camera and matt farah, nicely done.
Dammit, I want a BMW now.
I like it, sounds like a rhino being stabbed to death
Matt you are so correct.. Be above it... Some people show their intelligence.. You are inspirational!! Thanks my mother would have said the same thing.. Have a great day!!
Love the "crackle/snap/pop" noise on decel!
M3 sleeper... LOOOL
+Nick manku haha exactly fucking pick one
didnt show the engine :(
Satisfying PVP See it at 0:48
interesting! it just shows how amazing the M3's are:) I am still in love with the E92 & E93 models
@Kyu1LL the engine itself doesn't feel very stressed by the boost; it idles normally, runs at the same operating temperature as stock, and doesn't get angry when it's revved out. I don't think low boost (when charge cooled) is all that bad for it.
Indian engineer knows what hes talking about.
He's a mechanic, not an engineer.
Be serious now...this 700 hp beemer is the shit to have on the streets
Adnan Cehic why?
Very good episode. It really shows that you guys are taking in all the feedback from your fans and tweaking the show. Every new episode is better and better.
the bike in this video is sick that flat black r6 in the background sick bike... for sure (its mine =D) the guys that are part of tuned are seriously the chillest people we saw them up at GMR filming and was chilling with them the whole time
Needs moar black
Dude, M3 is not a sleeper..... M3 is m3
@racer8172007 It got edited out for time, since it's so obviously in every shot. And yes it does add some stiffness. The KW Variant 3's are adjustable.
Great vid. I like how VF has perfected there kit for the E9x M3s now.
14 grand??? Jeezus
+1tokeover Adding power to most European cars requires a lot of money. Cost is about double of what you would pay for American cars at least. For example, besides that supercharger, most exhaust set ups can easily cost over $3k and that's just in the medium tier group of exhaust companies.
+VenomPool Just learn how to weld, make a new exhaust and turbo manifold and get a new ECU, I'm not from america but everywhere in the world uses European cars to make money, its exactly the same as working on most other cars when it comes to things like turbo and exhaust manifolds
Did I hear that right?
Dynoing 690 but 575ish at the wheels?
So 115hp lost at the crank?
That to me seems utterly terrible
lost 115,,, is that normal?
I haven't watched the video but large tires, a un-refined tranny & a supercharger instead of a turbo makes a bit of a difference.
There's also a ratio in which there needs to be balance between the torque & rwhp to maintain drivability in a car such as the M3, which with all the modifications could be a decent weight car ( not a BMW guy myself ) .
The modifications on this car & the Stillen 370z are exactly the same, the tune & the frame are the only difference really. I don't think much more could be done than 550 rwhp to either car with this kit & maintain reliability.
690 on the engine dyno. It takes power to turn the drivetrain, it's called drivetrain loss. It can be anywhere from 10 to a 20% loss. So to the wheels its 575.
@Gangreen167 the Supercharger kit costs $14k from VF. The suspension and everything else is additional. The total cost of all the work on the Stillen car including the suspension, brakes, wheels, and body work is $20k.
Awesome V8 sound.
M3 has always been my favorite.
I'm really impressed you could make such a great vid with such short notice.
This is just an awesome channel.
no idea why he says "700HP" the car has 620! 575 to the wheels! Jesus!
they said they usually make 620 but that one makes 690 in the crank and 575 at the wheels
Must be remedial or selective hearing.
Yep 575 is 690-700 crank all day plenty of power for
Drag or road course while being reliable
you shouldn´t modify an m3...stock is perfect, it´s an M/// i just like the vorsteiner trunk
TOP Nürburgring Videos it depends what u want id say
Stockn is never perfect even if your just changing a shift knob or a Drop in K and N
Possibly the best channel on you tube
That model of M3 with a kit like that on it, or a Porsche 911 Turbo 991 generation are what I call my “Actually obtainable” dream cars one day haha. Amazing machine, my favorite M car!
Sticker Fail
Lol my 335 has 520 at the wheels and I just spent an extra 3gs on mods...lol
Liduiono Dasilva I'm starting a similar project :D respect for people that can find the loops
What mods did you do for 3g to get that kind of power?
It's closed in my driveway. 😊
scottjordan08 335s have an insane amount of potential to be fast as hell for cheap. one of the most cost effective bmws in my opinion, and i own an e92 m3. one of the first thing many 335 owners do is get jb4 set up on the n54 and that alone gives up to 100 horsepower. im sure you get the point
Jb4, down pipes, 3 inch to muffler cold air k&n.
@RicanJoeMusic they are called dillon optics and we sell them through our website. they have a secondary polarizer to reduce internal reflections and are some of the clearest glasses we've ever used.
I drove a Competition Package E90 M3 a while back and at the time I found it hard to believe how it could be any better. Well now I believe. Awesome review of a nicely tuned car.
Stop switching angles every 5 seconds
My cousin has finished his e46 m3 S85 V10 conversion and he supercharged it too, 605bhp at the wheels
And I love the camera shot from the hood looking through the window.
Ladies and gentleman, this is an example of a BMW's exhaust done right. A very rare thing to witness.
@TheDonDCAC we don't have any criticisms about an M3 that feels mostly stock, but goes significantly faster. Sounds like a bucket of win to me.
Love this video! Keep them coming! I'll click on all the ads if it means better quality! :)
I watch this video at least twice a day...Nick@ VF I'm coming :)...Matt F. thanks for an awesome review
Fantastic car. Fantastic video. Keep it up, Matt, Tom, and the gang!
@EthansOpinion92 it also has more metal to it, more sound insulation, heavier leather and interior bits, and a much more solid feel. That could be a reason too.
This message is for Mr Blowington. It's very easy to be a Monday-morning quarterback, and criticize someone or something you haven't ever done or tried. Last time I checked you tube I didn't see any of your videos reviewing sports cars or anything for that matter. Matts a good guy, he is knowledgeable and funny, and he's been on plenty of car shows, as well as has more than a million followers on his various you tube channels. So with all that being said, when you have something worth writing back in on, please do. Criticize away. I'm sure Matt really cares what you think of him....
ur fine dude, dont listen to sparky. it wouldnt be youtube without the trolls. just brush it off and continue to make sickass videos bro
The camerawork just keeps getting better here. Well done guys!
@TurboLag23 the owner uses the car for 80% track, 20% street, so that's his ideal setup. You can feel the difference in the stiffened chassis with the cage though.
them shades doeeeee>>>>>>>>>>>
Well done Matt and Drive....the two of you go hand in hand.
Much better to watch the TST
I really like the ducktail spoiler, IMO it makes it look complete.
That one shot from the hood gives me the feel of a car chase scene from an old(er) movie. Looks awesome!
Great Video =D
@dadinanm3 according to VF, the stock clutches will handle that power provided the driving isnt super abusive.
That, that, reminds me of Bullitt!! And that camera view looking in at you! Amazing!
awesome camera work guys!!!!
LOVE IT! Good work Farah!
@rpyaset yes, Nik says the stock DCT will hold up to about 700 whp, any more than that and you need a manual.
they filmed this really well!!!
You guys should consider doing an episode of Tuned focusing on hot hatches such as APR Tuning, or RMW (Revolution Mini Works)
Nice work Matt, that V8 sounds amazing!
I can agree with that. Sometimes I just get tired of boost.
Although, any twin turbo motor by Nelson Racing Engines is pretty badass...
Anyway. Nice to see someone that isn't a huge boost fanboy. Take care.
@scoobiedoobie84 the manual handles the power just fine, maybe even better than the dual clutch if you do a clutch upgrade. The supercharger creates very little extra stress on the engine, and from what we hear, has been reliable. Nik offers a warranty with it .
Best CZcams Channel yet, super low key. And I love IT!
@Kyu1LL we've seen three of these kits in action so far, and while some engines did break during development testing (to find where the limit of boost is), we haven't heard of blown motors.
You have the best sun glasses ever
That Akropovic Exhaust seals the deal with the E92 ///M
Yes, in a sort. See my comment to Aaron Smith.
Twin charging can limit the SC, or the turbo charger.
At the same time, it CAN (but not always) give you a longer range of boosted power. SC boosts at lower RPMs, allowing for power while your laggy turbo builds boosts.
@Thosteng you only don't need it if you don't plan on speeding. if you do plan on speeding, then 700 hp is a very nice thing to have.
@roninexige actually, put in non-technical terms, drivetrain loss will increase if you add power, because of there being more stress on the drivetrain, also losses vary both through the rpm range, as well as with different drivetrains, such as fwd, rwd or awd.
@coolerdude44 its easier to upgrade clutch to handle more power in the manual, but this owner uses his car at the track a lot so he likes the paddles.
the best camera i think is that at left of the driver focused at the steering wheel and the road.. at 8:00 for example..
