Rb turbo range that i tried were all awesome never had an issue with the classics, stealth or evos.

I had a few intercoolers, godspeed, atm and ad engineering.

Even gave meth a go.

Now that I have better understanding of the n54 engine, performance parts and tuning I have a few pointers to help.

If you have a stock car do the maintenance and understand how to read codes to save yourself alot of money. I went to bmw once and figured that out.

Stay away from bmw dealers that overcharge and under deliver. Find an independent mechanic you can communucate with, thats most important.

For performance parts on a street car I would now just stick to downpipes, intercooler, walbro 450 and add a bit of e85.

If your turbos are stuffed just get oem or basic rb replacements.

Once you push over 300kw it gets expensive and its not as fun on the street and not much quicker at the track with 400kw or 500kw.

Dont put slicks on stock axles on a manual they will snap when you launch.
If you upgrade axles your diff pinion will snap next.
Put a m3 diff and axles in. Or get a 9inch to fit. Autos are different there so slow off the line so you wo t break an axle there but wheel hop will still kill axles be carefull around 350kw.

If you want to go fast put a powerglide in.


Took me 5-6 years to figure this out.

New thread coming soon..
