Looks like some fun projects!

I'm presuming you haven't had the Spec installed yet? Are you running with a stock clutch currently?

Spec 3+ is very nice. Ran one before in a different car but wasn't seating correctly when breaking it in and switched to a monster. I was bummed it didn't work. It was definitely very grabby.

Yeah I have a lot of projects going on right now but things are finally coming together!

Yes I am running the factory clutch now. You know I have heard some questionable things about spec on other platforms but something about the n54 they seem to have gotten it right. Should handle all the power I am looking to throw at it

I love it when a plan comes together!

I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on the clutch after you get it broken in. Until I ran one, I'd never heard anything questionable about them. They seemed to be the clutch to go to for any application.

If I missed it forgive me, what kind of boost are you looking to run with the new turbos?

I have not touched on that yet so your good man! I'll be doing it in stages as I upgrade my fueling system. Right after I install probably 20lbs will be my target as long as everything stays healthy. After that, well you will have to stay tuned

jtt328 · 03-24-2017, 05:34 PM

Definitely will. Although new to the BMW world of things, I do know 20 lbs is breathing healthy, so I can only imagine what your end goal is...but I will impatiently wait!

What is the bottom end good to? Either I haven't been reading in the right places or it can take a ton of power/abuse that it doesn't need discussion.

I would say the latter of the two lol stock bottom end is known to be good for 700hp at least. It's a hell of a platform that's for sure

Tim603 · 04-03-2017, 02:46 PM

Frankenturbos installed! Getting through the clutch break in then time for a tune and dyno

WTF? · 04-03-2017, 04:53 PM

Right behind you buddy, on the turbos. Soon as they get a few thumbs up, I'm in. Car looks good, and classy. Keep it up.

The custom headlight w/o amber are still in progress. They are taking me forever to complete but I want them to be perfect. I wasn't happy with the clear coat I used so I sanded down a bunch of parts and have to re paint and clear them. This season they should be done hopefully!
