How many lbs of boost can a 335i handle for a long period
Just curious with an upgraded turbo running a lot of boost if they can handle 20-25lbs of boost and get over 100k on the engine without busting something in the internals.
Also are the engines internals forged? |

Today 500 rwhp is a safe number and is easy to obtain with upgraded turbos. 600 rwhp with a single if you have deep pockets. Sky is the limit once we get a HPFP upgrade. We also have a lot of new upgraded turbo options coming soon. I'm sure we'll figure out where the breaking point is soon. Lots of cool stuff in the works this year.

RP? Rob Beck? Has a upgraded twins option to market and readily available.
Vishnu has a single turbo option that seems to work Vargas has upgraded twins coming out 'real soon' That's about it for products that aren't vapourware/remote mount trash. |

it sucks that after 4-5 years there is still not a proven upgraded hpfp pump that is obtainable .... kinda funny at the same time all other platforms after this amount of time have tons more mods available , cant wait to see what 2013 brings !

these threads are just as stupid as "if i have x, x, and x mods, can i beat my friend who has a xxx, with x, x, and x mods?"
seriously? i could run 35 lbs on stock turbos on a car that i could use to drive to work everyday and never dip into boost. or i could run 35 lbs and stomp on the gas from every intersection i leave and around every corner i come out of. nobody here is going to be able to tell you anything relevant to YOUR driving style because everyone on here has a different style. |

Noone really knows OP, until the stock fueling limitations are overcome, the bottom end hasn't really been put through its paces. There are hundreds, maybe thousands, of FBO N54s running at/around 400whp for years with no internal crank issues, and a good number of 500whp guys doing the same with RBs. The Shiv big single seems to be pushing the most power, but at that point it's the tranny i'd really be concerned about. I believe VAC had a post showing that earlier N54s had very well cast pistons with forged rods; the crank has shown itself to be pretty damn robust so far.

25 psi isnt 25 psi
25psi on a smaller say 6262 is probably fine and i think has been done on some vishnu cars however if you run 25 psi on a bigger turbo say a 6766 that puts alot more stress on the engine because it flows more which in the end bends rods |

as a point of reference the stock crank from s/m52's has been good to hold well over 1000whp....literally no need for aftermarket cranks. People have knife edged them but thats about it.
I have no idea if the n54 is as robust but being that it was built for boost I would assume its at least as strong.

What is all this PSI talk?
Engines handle power, and torque specifically. Nobody has currently blown the motor from power alone. I would say somewhere in excess of 600WHTQ would snap something but it's really a guessing game. |
