Newbie Question on next mod

TwinTurbo_SunDevil · 11-29-2010, 03:18 PM

Hello I am new here and have had my 07 335i now for 9 months and love it! I am a former Mustang Modder and am still trying to learn the German mods. So far all I have done is a DCI. I was wondering what my next bang for buck mod should be. Should I go with a JB or should I help the turbos out by getting a pop off?

Can't go wrong with a tune as far as bang for the buck is concerned.

Brey335i · 11-29-2010, 03:23 PM

Tune should be your next step, especially because your intake will not reap any benefits without the tune

Tune for sure. Just do your research of else you may regret it later

Tune! I am not biased and there are many threads on this issue so go read up on them and decide the best one that suits your needs.

Can't believe I didn't see that before - great job! You should add GIAC stage 2 to make it complete!

First modification should be intercooler, ALWAYS. Then tune.

M3 Eater · 11-29-2010, 04:04 PM

I like the intercooler idea...... but I would have to say tune. bang for buck....
If you like to tinker with your car a bit, procede has a tune that will allow you to integrate nos & meth while controlling timing keeping your engine in check on all levels. If you just want a few extra ponies and think your car is damn fast the way it is, JB3 does everything i mentioned above with no timing control and requires more work, more calculations, more risk when incorperating meth and nos. JB+ will add 40whp for a little more than $100, this is where i started. I thought for sure that 40 would be enough... then I though 80 would, then 100.... If your like me and get absorbed by a project that involves hp, save up and get the new procede... 650 will transform the car for you with the availability to upgrade to nos and meth control later. If you have the money, and you just like to invest wisely (like most bmw owners) get the procede. Even an older one is enough for most (80-100 whp). I run a JB3 now, upgrading to jb4 but I need timing control with meth. Had I bought a procede I would have no worries.....accept where to pick up a FMIC to handle the extra ponies.

what if I go DCI, PROcede, DP's, and then IC? Would it make a difference?

Get the procede and DCI at the same time. The DCI is cheap and only a total moron (or someone without tools) couldn't install it.

I really would do the fmic before the DPs.

dlbrooks18 · 11-29-2010, 07:48 PM

go with a tune next for sure, lot's of options out there..
