next step?
Hey guys ...
i am stuck .. and don't know what to do to squeeze the juice out of this 335... anybody have any ideas on what should i do next?? here are my current list and thought on why i do them ... ECU: I have Vishnu proceed .. and its fine tuned by Rob himself .. for more then 5 revisions ... ( this ... i dont know why ppl complain about Vishnu ... they reply their email mostly in 1 days ... some times 3 days ... but they always reply .. ) Now i am using Cobb Tuning .. i just want to know how they perform ... people on this board seems really happy about it ... actully ... their map doesnt produce power at all ... kinda disapointed .. until ... i met PFT ... Dzeno .. you are great ...  now at 4th revision ... i have not try the 4th revision yet ... ( huge recommendation if you are using cobb ) i will post their dyno comparison when i got the mood to go to dyno... Down pipe: I bought 4" AR design ... because they are the 1st one to produce DP ... now i am using 3.5" downpipe by Vishnu ... The 3.5" DP gives me slightly fatter graph on the middle body of the dyno .. and similar end ... should i try the 4" again ?? i might if i got my turbo upgrade .. Meth: I am currently on Aquamist , they are simple and easy ... I have vishnu MEth kit ... but , unfortunately ... none of the 3 engineers in Indonesia are able to set them up properly ... so it is sitting there ... FMIC by Helix Intake By Afe Stage 2 Exhaust : stainless steel Akrapovic .. any recommendations for power or louder sound?? this mod doesn't gives rougly 15 crank hp ... so .. i dont think u will feel anything ... Grill air scoop ? i got this from my friend over at Sonic MS ... I dont know the brand ... if i am not mistaken .. its RAM ? this thing helps ? does not show anything on the dyno ... Break : Brembo GT 6port and 4 port .. Wheels: Volk racing G25 formula silver/black clear 19 x 8.5 et 36 + 19 x 10.5 et 35 ... the rear is 10.5 because i did a natural widebody ... so it will fit ... 10" is max for our 335i ... this is because i never able to do 0-60 anymore ... no tractions... maybe my tires? Coil over by KW V3 Turbo ... The big part... i sent my turbo to Vargas ... i hope they can send it back to me ASAP ..  cant wait for this one ... Oil : i am using HKS Oil ... so my needle is always showing 110 celc ... instead of our normal 120 celc ... do i need a oil cooler ? what happen if the oil is too low ?? should i buy oil cooler ?? please advice me on this ... exterior ... love it or hate it ... you can take a look at http://speedarchitech.com/the-real-d...eude-am-fahren all i care is the performance ... be nice  do i miss anything ??? any ideas on what is the next step ?? is there any metal Diverter Valve available ?? how about LSD ?? any body has first hand experience on the LSD ?? are they worth it for drag ? or its only good for track ?? and ... lastly ... we do not have suply of E85 ... are they the same like VP ?? we can get VP here... I hope some ppl could advice me on what should i do next... Thanks |

I can't see your signature since i'm using the mobile app but it seems you drive a N54? If so, you might wanna post this in the N54 section for better feedback. Though mods are very similar, you have more potential and a couple more things you can do to your car compared to us frustrated N55 people

It is pretty obvious that he is N55 by the downpipe choices. He has his turbo off to Vargas for an upgrade, so that is about the only thing he has left to do unless he wants to go custom.

Even though it's not the style that most people here like. I still think your car looks great cuz of all the work you've put into it! You spent a lot of money on this car and customized everything. But to be honest, other than the turbo upgrade, "which you are already doing" IDK what else can be done to these engines....Hopefully the bigger turbo will satisfy your needs......
Also since you have so many mods....an LSD would be nice. But you've done pretty much everything!

Lsd is next in line... But which Lsd should I get? Do they help for drag races? I hope vargas turbo will satisfy me... My friends supra was once modded to 500whp... Take him 3 weeks to change his mod to 800 whp.... Nobody will ever feel satisfied I guess.. |

Besides upgrading the turbo and getting a thicker core, perhaps 7 inches, I'd say a lightweight rim/tire combo, sticky tires, powershift/no lift shift tune, shorter gearing for drag racing.

a 7inch core will give you minimal power gains at the best. not worth the extra cost in my opinion. There are plenty of other things you car do with the money

The fmic that vishnu sells as a package is 7" right? Even that barely enuff space... It said I need to trim some stuff.. But good thing that I change bumper so I don't have to trim anything... Shorter gearing as in short shifter? It's dsg... Or is there a gear mod that I am not aware of? No lift shift? How do u do that? |
