N55 Turbo upgrade intro price and list for batch 1 pre-orders

135iNreag · 10-09-2013, 11:22 AM

JB4 with ISO is what I'm assuming will be doing the tuning work........plus a little meth injection for added safety. Terry @BMS mentioned ISO was created to tune larger turbos in the future and smooth out the power band, etc.

There is a lot of speculation going on with the N55 and not a lot of fact, we like to work in facts, when the car gets here we will know a lot more.

Do you think a wastegate dumping into the atmopshere will be possible with this turbo?

? huh, this turbo has an internal Wastegate on it. If you are referring to the BOV, we shall see, we have both types, I have put a recirc one on it for now. I am not 100% sure if the N55 uses a maf sensor at all, if it does, you have to vent before the maf or it throws the readings off. If it is pure speed density just using maf tables for fueling but not an actual maf like the N54 then it shouldn't be a problem

Yeah I meant the BOV. Thanks for clearing that up Tony

I assume that was their reasoning for using the electronic diverter on the stock turbo. I would hope it's not the case though, especially since the new M3 has the valvetronic as well. Can't wait to see what you come up with

If I could find a reputable shop willing to work with me on this in Los Angeles I would be all over it.

bmw0bsession · 10-10-2013, 11:23 AM

I have a full bolt on 2011 n55 135i DCT in Los Angeles. Maybe my car may work?

Could very well work if you are willing to be without your car for 3 weeks or so, while we install, test, and tune. Email me. Tony@vargasturbo.com, we are just up north in the San Fran Bay area.

fasteddie222 · 10-10-2013, 01:38 PM

Umm I wonder how the DCT will hold up with an upgraded turbo.

No one knows, that's the beauty of trying new things.

I am very interested in seeing how it'll hold up.

+1 for the DCT. The AT should withstand the poweroutput easily (look at the N54). And the MT is very easy to upgrade. The DCT is the most interesting imho. We have a shop here in Germany which upgrade the DCT for $1.600. It should be able to handle 700-750Nm (engine) then.

Not yet, we need to confirm this set up is actually going to work properly then yes once we get it all finalized you will be able to buy them.

The BMS DCT cars are having slippage issues at 400wtq+

The n55 does indeed use MAF. Im fairly sure it also vents before the MAF... if that helps, but I'm sure its old news.
