" Nevermind, just went to the Rotrex page and looked at the tech specs. The 92 trim (Active) is marginally larger than the 91 (Evolve) "

That is AWESOME -- Is there any difference between the C38-91 & 92 trims? And I'm guessing that was on 93 octane, pump gas? "

" Word, still interested to heard @Andrew@activeautowerke & @evolve to comment on the peak boost they're running for their top of the line (93 octane/aftermarket exhaust/stock motor) kits.

It sounds like the Rotrex is easily capable of 640 BHP (running between 8-9 psi) & will yield more area under the curve than the Vortech V3 Si. "

500 WHP+, because it completely depends on what octane & boost level you decide with the evolve kit (also if you're running the stock or aftermarket x-pipe). On 93 it looks like Evolve is targeting 7.5-8 psi (according to their website), which will put down low/mid 500 WHP with a catless exhaust.

Side note, Active Autowerke (@Andrew@activeautowerke ) is advertising 9 psi & 700 BHP/480 TQ. I haven't looked yet, but Evolve is using the the C38-91 while Active is using the C38-92 trim. "

Can that really be said though, especially for a tune that's built to specific octane & boost levels? It's not like turbo tuning where you might run a low/mild boost map for an auto-x/race course tune, vs a very aggressive for top speed runs.


Bottom line is the evolve kit isn't trying to be something it's not, and while the Rotrex doesn't have the top end that the Vortech offers, the evolve will most likely be the best all around, everyday enjoyable s/c kit that really accentuates the S65's characteristics while running a tune that is both safe & consistent.

I'm sure there's a lot more interest since it's possible it could be the 1st built motor E9x M3 to hit the 1/4 mile, since Izzy & Drew "don't bother with that".

BUT now that Zim's car should be finished soon, and I assume he'll continue to track his car, it's gonna be a "race" between the two of you to see who can get there 1st. "

Something your Stage 3s & Sticky's YSI M3 share in common. Neither of them have put down any 1/4 mile passes, 60-130 or even any runs against some worthwhile competition, but let's brag & boast about all the HP we made on the dyno.

So only the paying customer's get the "top notch" demeanor, but fuck everybody else on the forum? Maybe you should stick to making the product (which appears to be very solid, but is yet to prove itself) and let someone else deal with the forum politics/customer interaction. "

" WELL the video description says they're both running race gas. Lambo's on MS109, so not the full Stage 3 1250 WHP on C16 & the Porsche is running C16 & over 1k BHP

Chances are the Porsche has better sized turbos that sacrifice top end power for immediate spool response, which is why it takes the lead off the hit. "

" Well I think that settles it -- If (hopefully when) I ever get an E90 M3, I'm buying the @evolve S/C kit. Not point on spending ~$16k on the the "competition" to only get 1 glory run out of the car & an abused motor (c/o a shit tune). "

Check with Gintani -- Make sure the pumps are capable of pumping enough fuel & were designed for ethanol use. Also, I have no idea what specific injectors your kit is using, but I know the most of the ~650 BHP kits use Bosch injectors, which I don't believe were designed for ethanol use (look into Injector Dynamics/Fuel Injector Clinic & see if they make anything that'll work on your S65) "

" How about a set of Apex wheels of the winners choice in model (Arc-8 vs EC-7) and specific measurements?? Apex makes phenomenal wheels at an incredible price point, and everybody would enjoy a free set of wheels.


Giving away a COBB AP/Intercooler/Turbos might not appeal to the masses because A) some people might already have those mods or B) just not have the money/interest in adding those mods (perfect example: I wouldn't benefit from Stage 3 turbos because they're no 6AT upgrade; if you upgrade your turbos you're gonna need a money for a clutch + install, etc).
