The <1200kg BMW 325i stroker – powered by LITE↯BLOX LBtrack battery

If Jan does not work on his tracktool, he earns his bun as a developer in the automotive industry and also works as a personal driving coach for racetrack and driving safety.

The E36 was bought as 325i in the standard spec without M-package out of 3rd hand and checkbook maintained.

The plan was to have a cheap club sport conversion to have fun on the racetrack. But also motivated by his job as an instructor it was already obvious in the first conversion phase, that it will go a bit more into detail…

Today, Jan drives one of the fastest E36 325i on the Nordschleife and apart from a handful of components nothing seems to be stock anymore:

To save weight, everything was removed and a fiberglass dashboard was used plus reasonable seats, straps and a roll cage for saftey issues.

On the engine Jan has given the engine builder Oliver Sturm Concept complete confidence to built a 2.5L stroker, delivering an appropriate power output.

Of course, the chassis component also had to be adapted to the overall concept. This is where Carl Schwarz from Custom Racetec put his hands. Thus, everything is now stored in Uniball, the body has been adapted in the rear of the fenders to the 235/45 DIREZZA tires on 9×17 MOTEC wheels. In addition, a KW Clubsport suspension has been adapted with minor changes in spring rates.

To fuel the overall concept of the “E36 325i Sleeper” saving more kilos, Jan relies on our brand new LITE↯BLOX LBtrack (2.3kg) battery model with matching adapter plate, saving around 9 additional kilos onto the previously used lightweight lead-acid battery, while providing even more cranking power:

Davids road legal Toyota Supra dragster

“My name is David & I own
one of the most extreme street-legal cars in Germany… “

The 10XXPS Supra Dragster – powered by LITE↯BLOX LBtrack

The customer bought the car as a started and partially completely disassembled project about 5 years ago – the goal was to crack the performance mark of 1000PS right from the beginning and so almost everything was turned upside down…

From the complete TRD wide body kit via one-piece propshaft to the huge turbocharger providing whopping 1073whp @ 2bar while block and cylinder head were built by Thomas Franz, one of the most renowned engine builders in Germany:

The engine is monitored by a SYVECS S6 ECU in conjunction with a TOUCAN touch screen which provides the driver with all important data and various driving modes. A safety cell also found its place in the painted interior. Contact with the road is provided by WELD RTS forged wheels from the USA (VA 275×18 “/ HA 325×15”), to which the rear-wheel drive Supra demands a lot when accelerating:

“The car is just a lot of fun and requires the driver’s highest concentration. 1073whp and 1005NM at about 1600kg vehicle weight – almost 1.5 kilos to move one horsepower is quite fast I would say…”

To start the metallic gray monster, David relies on our brand new LITE↯BLOX LBtrack (2.2kg) plus adapter plate since this season, saving hardly 20kg to the previously used stock battery plus providing enough cranking power in every situation:

The combination of LITE↯BLOX LB28XX plus matching lightweight adapter plate enables a plug’n’play replacement for the heavy series components in all Porsche vehicles of the 99X & 9X1 series.

Our longtime partner Laptime Performance has taken a closer look at the example of a current Porsche 991.2 GT3 with relevant weight-saving potential and explains why replacement of the original AGM starter battery is accompanied by a noticeable improvement in driving characteristics – especially for the water-cooled Porsche models:
