you are letting TheAxiom win.

My power is increasing.

But the project didn't cost the OP 10k, because he did the fabrication and tuning himself, not to mention he's more powerful than MOST 335i-even with upgraded turbos.

Hell, a 328i with the same twins or single from a 335i would still blow them out of the water, the N52 head is far superior.

How? You can reduce modifications on a 335i cost by labor if you want to play the same game. The only reason the 328 was faster in a corner was it weighed less cause it didnt have the extra weight of a tirbo system. Now it does. So
1. Its more expensive for the same power and less features and options
2 its handles identically now
3 its less reliable because the block and homemade components aren't built to handle the power. He's blowing head gaskets at 500 hp. Ours is good to 1100.

Sorry. 5000 counties went republican. 300 democrat. Get over it.

Is this a general statement? Civic LX go for 40k+ ?? Sheeesh...I need to see that car asap.

I dont think anyone would trade their beautiful Inline 6 turbo/twin turbo for a 4 banger. Are you mentally challenged or just trolling?

ooooooooooooook then If that's a 4 banger, then just imagine the power and possibilities that a 6 banger 328 would do lol

Yeah. Might even stay close to a base mustang.

Wow, who needs cable.

[MARZPOPS]

Settling for the 328 is like settling for the fat chick nice try bud u can keep ur 490hp 328 will see how long it lasts

[hassmaschine]

Don't challenge fundguys N54 superiority complex - he'll blow a gasket or something.

1100hp N54s.. Lol. How many of those are there? All stock motor? Right..

[WhiteBeard]

But seriously guys, 328s are currently most numerous BMW on the roads across US/Canada and I can see tons of 328 users happily buying BPC Garrett turbo kit that will be limited even at 395hp with boost adjustment option to run it even lower when needed (or higher at times). However, I think this dream won't ever come true for 99% of us, because it will be way too expensive. Who wants to spent $8-10K on a 10 y.o. car? Excellent implementation with this turbo kit and now we know it can be done, but the price of it essentially makes it an unachievable option. If it was for $4K max - then many would jump, but not for $10K

Couldn't agree more. Cheap Chinese eBay kits aside, adding forced induction to an N/A motor tends to be very pricey.

Actually the owner of the car is a vendor. His personal car has 1300+ and he blew his oem motor at 1100. So now he makes upgraded heads and blocks in addition to his other parts. So 1100 on a stock oem n54 motor and head is the limit.

And how many 500+whp 328i N52's are there?

[hassmaschine]

one, obviously. Most N54s aren't even close to 500bhp much less 500whp though.

[CantCatchMe]

There are more 500+whp N54's then your one N52'a running high power. Go search, plenty here who mod their vehicles and on a few FB groups.

It just sounds like butthurt comments since that's your only argument. Come up with a few more to justify your statement.

I'm not really hurt or offended..
However... here are a couple things:

a) I envy 335i owners for the fact of how EASILY they can up the performance and how HUGE the market and options are for aftermarket parts. Yes it is much easier and thats fine and dandy. But just as it was to get to where you guys are today, someone out there is taking their time to make sure they got their product right. And with 335s being the primary point of sales, which companies had the kindness to actually set forth to explore some absolute blasphemous (to you guys anyways) ideas? Two that I have heard of so far. Whilst you guys have a PLETHORA of companies making their own variations of the same parts. I don't think I have to dive much deeper...

b) one guy gets it done, one company is still running through their R&D for their kit. Sadly to say, the fact that these two events are happening, doesnt mean Santa hops in my garage over night for an early christmas to install a sweet lil turbo in my car. If thats the case, I want whatever is in your pipe.

c) pics of my big wheel are on the way stay tuned!
