MY BMW M240I ENGINE HAS FAILED.. GUTTED

Yes! Yes! So let's see if we're going to break the tyres loose or we're in for a party. All smoke in the back, smoke in the back. It's cool man, it's cool, it's cool, it's cool. Yes, it is the big day. I wouldn't call it judgment day but it's almost a day that we've, this car is built for the track and it's our first time at the track. Finally we made it. Chris, welcome back to the channel bro. Welcome back. This man, his team, Osprey Performance, I take my hat off to them. Today our aim is to pretty much get this car into the eights, right? So yes, so we've had a road test, we've had a dyno test, we've had the runway test. It's now time, let's put her on the track and see what she's got. But again, you know my motto, slow is pro. If magic happens, it happens. Yep. You're going to do some slow pulls, you're going to do some eights, we're going to go through the data and work our way to a full pull. Sure. We are at a live, in fact, shout out to MSB, we're at Pull Up, his event. Massive shout out to MSB. He smashed it, sellout event, absolutely wicked. Vibes are wicked, it's still early but we are at a drag strip. Like you are here with us today, seeing it how it goes, as raw as it gets. Can we show, we've done a few little bits and bobs, right? So basically on our test day we actually found that our intake temps were going to the roof and that's what was restricting Jay from using final gear full power. So we've upgraded that with a larger charge cooler, which has his ice water flowing through it. Emiko also messaged us, they finally did the downpipe. Showing the downpipe, showing the downpipe, look at that one. There we go, got a nice little... Also, show them this bad boy. This is the setup, so essentially going out today, we are looking to start on a slightly lower boost. So we're going to start off low boost, which is about 37 psi for you. Give you a full pull, get you on the chute so that you're used to that. Once you've got your launch dialed in, then we're going to give you the 50 psi. I've never felt 50 psi by the way. All of you is going to feel it today. So what kind of power do you reckon at 50 psi and then with the nitrous, what kind of power do you reckon we could potentially, if we get there, be at? 50 psi, we're between that 1300 and 1400 more. So we're there now. Okay. With the nitrous on, you're 1500 plus. So the thing with the nitrous, it doesn't just add 100 horsepower, it actually opens up the mid-range. Okay. So you're probably going to pick up 400, 500 in the mid-range and that's when it gets tricky. Let's say 400, 500. In the mid-range, in the mid-range. So we just add an extra stage two MI40i in the mid-range. Do you know what I mean? I think the main thing is today, we're all going to learn together. It is literally our first proper test out and we're going to see how things go. Now things don't always go to plan, so we don't want to promise the world. Also, what we don't want to do here today is race because the car ain't, it's not dialed in. We're not raced ready. We're not here to race. You know what I mean? We're here to race. The only people we're racing is ourselves and trying to better our time. So bro, with that said, I think what we do is we're hopping. We get down to the line. We set it all up and whatever and we get on low boost and I'll do a first. Let's get some laps in. Let's put some finer parts. Let's go. All right, guys. So we're just lining up for our first official. This is our first official hit down the track. That's how mad this is. We're on low boost. We're on the same map that we went 950 unprepped on, which I think is about 37 psi, Chris tells me. From there, we're going to up the boost. I don't know if we're going to go straight to 50 psi, but I know the goal is 50 psi today. We're all going to find out together, guys. This is literally quite nerve-wracking. Ideally, you want to test the car the first time at the strip on a quiet day. This is an event. We've got thousands of people here. So literally, not only are you guys finding out with us, at the same time, everyone here today is going to find out too. So yeah, it's going to be interesting. Yeah, man. Light a candle, boys. Light a candle. Listen, one thing I will tell you is Jamie has throughout this entire build-up to today, he's been very quiet. And you know what that tells you? In my opinion, silent but deadly. I've got a feeling my man has just sat back, listening to Marky, listening to everyone scream and shout, and he's just going to come and hand out the absolute gap. Look at the car, bro. We'll see. We'll see. Are you mad? I mean, I saw the video in the channel, bro. In person, he looks absolutely f***ing bad. All right, guys, we're getting to the line. Low pressure. All the pressure. See how it goes. You're probably hearing cars doing burnouts right now. Unfortunately, we haven't. We have to drive around the water boxes, so we can't do a burnout because we haven't quite settled in burnout mode on this. So we're just going to be leaving on four-wheel drive cold tyres and just see what it does. So unfortunately, that might hold us back just a little bit today, but we're just going to send it and see. As I say, we're all going to find out together. All right, lads. Let's do this. All right, we're staged. Let's go. All right, guys. So basically, first pass. Smile, man. Basically, because we've run on that map before, we've run a 9.5 and everything was cool. I kind of treated it like we were unprepped. I don't think I launched hard enough. I didn't feel enough boost. Then it felt like there was no boost, so I just got out of it. I got annoyed. And then kind of later on, you saw what happened. And basically, we checked the cones. There is no cone, so the car seems to be happy. The car was fine. So basically, you just didn't build that boost long enough. So when you're at the line and there's all that pressure, one second feels like 10 seconds. 100%. And also, if you guys remember back to the last video where we were unprepped, we were building too much boost at the line and we were breaking the wheels, so it was cutting. So I was trying to avoid doing that, trying to leave quite soft as an A to B pass, but it was just way too soft. So I think right now, we're just giving it all the boost. Send it to the moon and then... And I'm going to short shift it. Short shift. Yeah. So about 50 PSI we're going to be running on now. What's the power? 1,400 horsepower. Yeah, it's all the marvels. This is up to you now. Short shift it, keep it safe, keep it straight. Let's look at the data and then we'll progress with RPM as the day goes on. Sure, sure, sure. So guys, we're all learning together. Hopefully, I'll make up for that last pass with a good pass this time. It's going to boogie. I'm going to leave hard. I'm not messing around. No one ever walked in the gym and picked up the heaviest weight. You're not going to show up here and do the base run. That's true. The base run comes at the end of the day. Okay. Well, now, now it's full time. Now we live it. Got it. All right, guys. So we are back now after a bit of a... Listen, it is a test in tune day for us. We've added pressure. But obviously, it didn't go to plan the first time, but we've turned it up 50 PSI. I've never even drove who's gone 50 PSI, let alone... Our first proper pass. So yeah, let's see, man. Let's see. As I say, the motto, we're all about to find out together. Come on, boys. Come on. Hey. Staged. All right, we're going to stage, lads. Let's do it. Stayed in it. The boost did not come in. It was not disappointing. Again, disappointing. Looking around today, it's actually interesting how many BMWs are here. There's been a shift in the car scene. Now, I know for a long time, obviously, M3s, M2s, and M-Lites have been a big part of the UK car scene. But in terms of who's pulling up to go fast, who's doing big builds, it's predominantly BMWs here. You know what I mean? There's a couple of Dazzas, a few Golf Rs, and just loads of BMWs. Don't get me wrong, there's not that many big, big builds, but we've got a lot of good powered BMWs here today. So yeah, quite interesting to see. I guess it's a good entry point into power, as opposed to the GT-Rs, the Porsches, and of course, your V10 platform. So it's inevitable, right? Right, guys, so we're about to try again. So we switched onto a different map. We don't know why we're not getting any boost. It did kiss like 48 PSI at the top of the run there. They checked back. But right now on that run, it was driving like an NA car. So it's getting a little bit disheartening, but I know this is how it can go. So we swapped maps now, and we're going to see how it goes. Again, we're all learning together. So let's just see. Let's see if we've got boost, boys. It's our best run yet. That is our best run yet. Nine-three, we're on the board, boys. We're on the board. Nine-three is the fastest the car has went. Yes! We had boost. Nine-three at 155. Well, the terminal's there. The terminal is there. I feel like I short-shifted a few. I'm not sure. Maybe I hit redline. I don't know. I was just surprised that we actually had boost that time. It caught me by surprise. But lads, we're on the board. We are on the board. Okay, so something's working now. Something is working now. Car stayed dead straight, almost two straight. And that means one thing. Not enough power. So guys, I got a little bit excited there, but I thought I'd give you some other metrics. 100 to 200 there was a 3.71. The fastest the car's ever went. Zero to 60, 2.3 seconds. 2.3 seconds there. I think this car has actually done a 2.2, unprepped with two people in it, and also a 9.50 with two people in it. So it's an improvement, but you know this car can go a lot faster. But 3.71 shows we were boogieing mid-track. So yeah, all good. All right, cool. So first proper pass. Nine-three is the fastest the car's ever went. It wasn't an eight, but we got a lot more boost, a lot more timing to run. What's that? Sorry. A lot more timing to run. That was probably all the boost. I might be wrong, but we have got nitrous, but a nine-three. 3.71, 100 to 200, which is quite good. But yeah, yeah. There's room for improvement. It felt dead straight, so we got boost. We got boost. What was it on the slip? It was a 9.38 on one. Nine-three. Nine-three, 155. Yeah, 155 is what I got too. What's the 60 foot? Horrible, bro. 1.5. So we can, so do you know what the thing is? I got up to around 7,000 RPM, and it felt like it's got the limit. I didn't have eight, but definitely not. Okay, well, let's look at the data. Let's see what the data says. But it felt short. Now we've got good data. Whoa, 155. We have boost. And we have boost. Now, 155. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're on the board. We're going to add 10 mile an hour. Yes. By the end of the day. But off the line, that looked like I held for long enough. I felt like... Not long enough. You would hold it for longer than that. Longer. Really? That's what makes these colours so bad at competitions. So I thought I'd been in it for a long time. Look, I won't lie, All right, guys. We're going to try that again. Same map. I'm just going to basically hold it on launch a little bit longer. Build more boost. They've actually got me a screen up here. It's a phone that basically shows the display. I've been leaving on like three and a half psi. So I'm going to hold it forever on the line. They've told me hold it forever on the line until it hits, sorry, at least eight psi. But eight to 10. So if you see me looking up here, that's why basically. If it's a good hit, OK, just more boost off the line. So it's either going to break the tyres loose or we're in for a party. Boy, this is going to be mad. All right, we are staged. More smoke in the back. That doesn't sound good. That doesn't smell good to shoot. A little bit too hard. That might be it, boys. That might just be it. And that is all she wrote, boys. She's lifted the head. Lifted head, calling everywhere. Here, look. Pull to shoot. Look back and all I saw is smoke. Yeah, nice. And that is 50 psi. And that's all she wrote. Well, that is it. As you see. Grab this. Nightmare. 50 psi, no likey. Boys, it was trial and error. We thought we'd be up against it today, but man, I didn't expect that. Look at that. That was a 9.70 pass too, I think. So it weren't even like we hit an eight and lifted the head. Just how it goes. How it goes, man. Better turn all the pumps off. Okay, no fire. We're okay. Water bottle. It still runs. But the head lifted big time. Yeah, we figured as much. It was all out the back. It's all up the back and everything. I pulled to shoot. Yeah, at least we saw the shoot, because I was like, okay, he's fine. Cool, it's cool. We knew it. Look, we knew pushing at 50 psi. I don't know if you said, like 50 psi is notorious to lift heads on these. And we'd seen a little bit of head lift at in and around that before, but we'd done a nice retalk. And we were good. We'd done testing, a little bit testing on the road. We did three hits at 50 psi, and she was holding. We checked everything again. There was no indication to say, don't do it again. Also, do you know, interestingly, you see that dash, yeah? Mate, it would not go above three psi. So she wouldn't leave. Yeah, we all felt you were like, okay, now he's holding it long enough. Three psi. Okay, so we've got to work on anti-loading. Three psi. So yeah, and then it didn't feel 100% right throughout the journey. It didn't look right. And then up top, I thought, oh, I'm going to pull to shoot. And I looked back and I pulled to shoot. And I looked up and I thought, uh-oh. It was just smoking. Like how long down the track was it smoking for? Because I didn't even know. Oh, you only, when you lifted off. Oh, right. You hit the traps and then there was just smoke. Yeah. Then I was like, that's blown. That's, there's pieces. No, no, it's still running. It's still running. It's still running, but it seems like it might be missing just a little bit. And I think it could be because obviously water in the cylinder. Well, that's the gasket gone now. So it'll be a gasket change. I think we're okay. Kinda. Look, the car's on four wheels. We don't have windows installed. You still, yeah. So yeah, it's a success. 100%. Ish. Kinda. That's what happens when we go full scene. The car went faster than it ever has. I mean, right, it's a 9.78. I know that's not good, but maybe it had a little bit of mid range in there somewhere. So maybe there's a 100 to 200. Okay. The fastest it's ever went 100 to 200. The 3.64. So it's not great, but it's faster than it's been. It is what it is. It's a shame. I mean, we're just going to have to find a solution to keep this head down a little bit better. I think we swap onto that bigger turbo also. Bigger turbo. We can run a little bit less boost. Yeah. More volume, less boost. So guys, were you expecting that? I wasn't. So what a way to, I guess, come to an end on this video. But again, it adds drama to the story, journey. You know, we're just going to have to come back stronger, you know, running nines and lifting the head. You know, it was never going to work if that was where the limit was anyway. So, you know, back to the drawing board. We'll go eights. It would have been nice to see an eight today and a nice to drive away. But it is what it is. So I guess if you want to know what happens next, smash the thumbs up because we will do a full analysis, a breakdown of what has happened. And of course, you know, we're going to come back fighting. So or swinging, should I say. So hit the thumbs up. Check the link down below to Osprey. Also check them out because they have a more detailed YouTube channel on this build where you'll find all the build kind of specs and so much behind the scenes stuff. And also probably a more in-depth and I'll give you of what exactly just happened now. Hit the subscribe button if you want to see more. And yeah, that was mad. So we'll see you on the next one.
