the n55 does have more low end tq. just look at the graphs, its just that the power is delivered differently. much like n54 owners who claim that the mustang 5.0 feels so when it actually puts down way more power and tq.

U disagree tibra? If it's an engine discussion, then that's the way it goes; all of those can make way more power.

I only kept it to foreign cars... The LS is a beast and must be respected!
yes, but what is the point of keeping on and keeping on with this engine comparison, I think everyone knows where this argument stands... It gets very old.

mod'd - that's a whole nother thread. U def know that u want'd performance wise and went N54. the N54 is a fine engine stock, also great for performance potential - as it's been proven. The N55 is work'n toward max performance - but no dramatic similarities in performance with bolt ons like the N54. and it's been said. I say move past it - the N54 is a great engine - great performance mod'n - period. the info's there. I say - stay focus on the N55 and try to maximize it's power mods for any future models. I'm sure we'll have discussion bout the 4 banger twin turbo engine mod'd.

Its too late to change cars. I'm financing my N55 and I bought it new. I'd lose too much money on it. I guess I'll just have to get the JB3. *sigh*

Best run was 12.9 at 110 temps were 86 and it was very humid. I only had about 15 min cool down time for the first run and 0 min cool down time for the rest. I got there a little late and they said they were closing the track early.
With the higher boost it spins 2nd and 3rd and the tq comes up so damn fast its extremely hard to modulate the throttle. On +6.5 it pulls extremely hard up top usually in 4th gear. I dont think i can do much better on these tires unfortunately. Oh and the n54 broke down So N55 is Better !! |

Wait until you see what an extra 2-3 degrees of ignition advance and meth will do to an n55. Since raising the boost isn't an option beyond a point, the only way we are going to make more power with a stock turbo'd n55 is to improve combustion efficiency. And the factory ignition advance curve is even more conservative than that of the n54. I wouldn't be surprised if there is another 20-25hp in there ready to come out with just a timing bump.
Here's what 2 deg did to a highly modded n54: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=561615 |
