LOL Single Turbo talk !
"SOME" N54 guys and single turbo talk is killing me. I ran into someone who lost pretty bad in his N54 and he says, just wait tell i get my single turbo kit.
LOL So now this is going to be the line for alot of people who loose races in there N54's... Not saying the N54 is slow or talking down about it. Just talking about the folks who will never see a single turbo but use that excuse after runs .... |

If I am able to make enough money this year and feel comfortable with the Single it will become reality. Last edited by E90SoFlo; 06-04-2012 at 09:27 PM.. |

Depends on the person who said it lol. I mean id typically agree with you. When people lose a fun highway pull or two and instead of saying awesome car bud, they throw a comment like well if I do this..... or i get this... Thennnnn. Doesnt matter you dont have it haha. So i agree with you. I also think surprisingly, many will purchase this kit by vishnu once it is presented to the public. More than youd think probably will be interested.
Dont be hating on the n54 now that it is making awesome numbers my m3 driving friend

Haha I understand. Not be defensive at all but just pointing out m owners are the same way.

The "wait til I get or do this" line is pretty common among all types of cars.

who is he? umm. well his user name on m3forum.net is Juicinbimmer, thats who 'he is'. if you havent heard of the issues with hpf, im surprised. they were kept on the dl for a while. i still am in support of the company and shouldnt talk down on them, and really i dont mean to. they have done great things with that platform and many others. But quite a bit of s54's blew badly, but i think hpf did their part to fix the motors, so kudos to them after all. are you doubting this? if so i could gladly show you a thread compiled of the info.

So it's with mixed emotions as I turn in my 335 for an e92 M3 (order already placed) with the intention of getting it supercharged.

But anyway, an RB turbo 335i will rape any bolted/tuned NA M3 without trying. blown it becomes much closer and depending on the blower kit will rape the RB turbo 335i. (VT2-625 DCT comes to mind)
