N55 Trackday Buttonwillow | new FMIC
Wanted to beat up the new FMIC at the track after thanksgiving -
Had an invite from old friends , Long, Ivan, Nick, Pak the whole norcal - socal bimmer family. Again the N55 held up very well. It was a chilly day mid-to-low 60's. Great day to track. Oil temps held strong under 250. 20min runs each session, had 4 runs that day. I ran the track without my ideal setup. -didn't have meth yet because deal'n with another variable. I had to remove my chargepipe and downgrade the procede board to rev2 on an older map, 8-something. I ran that map last track event so i knew it was solid - didn't want to run the lastest map, which would've been fine but stuck with what was on the board without upgrade'n it. Coincidentally I ran into Shiv at the track - small world. couple days before I was on the phone troubleshooting an overboost issue with him - I log'd 20psi+ And later found out it was not an overboost but something else. He took the time, trouble shooted my N55 at the track, did a few runs on the highway, and long story short I gave my Rev 2.5 board back to shiv. It's most likely an isolated issue. Now that's taken care of Meth is a okay now for install. I'll have piece of mind now. I usually will run a week or so with any new bolt on for trouble shooting. I'm leave you with one pict taken by VP - Vanhap Motorsports Photography / photo edited by me u can see the FMIC - easy install - minimal cut'n, clean fitment, works for me. -

Solid picture well done on the intercooler, i was waiting for some feedback. My car is going to Forge Motorsport for a week. They want to develop an n55 intercooler so i decided to be the test mule, it is a sweet deal ;]
Since it looks like youre gonna be tracking it more it might be time for a Quaife
