Cheapest way to tune 325i 3L N53 to 330i 272hp/320nm?

Auto · 02-09-2014, 05:15 AM

I've found a company that sells a complete kit with software for 1300 GBP.

272hp/320nm kit - http://mosselmanturbo.com/remapping-...25i-e90-218hp/

Is there any other that have the same solution for less?

I'm asking because I change cars every 6 months and I know I wont be getting my money back so I'm trying to save as much as possible.

Find a 3-stage intake manifold used, (300-400) and get the OFT from Vishnu. (400) and there you have it for 800. Same as the link you provided.

Change cars in 6 months???
Why bother?
It would break my heart to give up my car 6 months after doing a mod like my 3 stage...

^^^^ Agreed ^^^^

I already have the 3-Stage manifold on my 09' E92 with N51 OEM + added Euro airbox with K&N + added BMW Performance Exhaust + added Vishnu OFT Tune

If your car doesn't already have the 3 stage, there's a brand new/never used 3-stage manifold FS in the classifieds right now for $500 - you aren't gonna beat that deal for new...

Nevermind on that 3-stage manifold FS post - it's already SOLD - didn't last long @ that price...

I'd get the evolve tune, as they have the most experience tuning the N53.

This is not correct. I own an N53 325i and had to swap the intake manifold, cause there weren't the 3 stage one build in.

Is this true? My 325i is made 2010.04.23.

Can I see if I have the right intake just by looking under the hood?

KingofKingz · 02-10-2014, 06:58 AM

You could have a look at the intake manifold. If there are DISA valves then you got the right one, if not then you need to buy a new one

My bad, you are correct. Took a quick look at the part number and it is certainly not a 3 stage manifold.

I believe Evolve Automotive has done something with a upgrade intake manifold and tune. Might want to speak with them

first find out if n53 325i comes with 3 stage disa manifold
Next if it doesnt use
Sweedish breakers - look for Inlet manifold for n53 330i ( it has to be a n53 manifold not a n52!!!!)

https://www.allabildelar.se/

Next get a tune from ESS in norway

OR any tuner that knows n53
