saw this over on e90post

this car has a medium sized turbo on it with a maxed out map sensor making 585whp on 20 psi.

the tuner claims with a bigger map the car will make 600whp easy and with the bigger turbo the car will eventually make 800whp now that 800 number is all just a claim but the 585whp and the 600whp numbers are actually true.

i would like to see a single turbo 335i or 135i go up against a well modded e55

Those cars are not on the same level as the e55 yet, they have some catching up to do, no pun intended

3 Series = C class?

justinwrock

Wait, I am confuzzled.



They removed the twin turbos and are running a single turbo?

pearlpower

So many HP claims, all mean squat until they put it to the 1320.

Just like the Supras. Which is why they are beasts.

This is interesting - How extensive are these mods?



When I first read that post - seemed that the car was stock - and that they were running a Procede V5 with 93oct and Meth.

Yea this came up not long ago...the torque curve is very flat and boost hits in a good spot after a shift...this set up with proper wheels and tires on the auto tranny should hit low 10s at 130+

So how much would it cost to keep the engine from exploding under that much boost?
And if you are going to one larger turbo that pushes more boost, how long will it take to get power?

JoshM813

The 07-08 n54 motors have forged internals. Should be able to hold up to 25psi on this turbo just fine. The auto tranmy will need to be built and it would need upgraded halfshafts. With these mods it will be a monster of a car. Boost Also hits around 4k. No where near as low as stock but a lot of it was unusable before.

looks promising, but after all of Shiv's shenanigans back when he was a Suby tuner I wouldn't be surprised if the claims are artificially hyped and the motor goes boom soon. I agree Pearlpower, the numbers don't be jack till the get track times down.

Who cares, there is always something faster.

Pintos are stepping up their game too.

JoshM813

I agree shiv hasnt been the best business guy...but it seems he may have actually done something now

pearlpower

Yep

CharlyE500

+1 always something faster will come out.... you can find American muscle car running 9's all the time and so what ?!

Ryououki

Pintos have been running faster than any E55, even before the W211 line came out. But then again, it's a Pinto and I prefer show with the go.

Like button.

Yep, there is also that hint of reliability, element of comfort, feeling of solidarity, and safety.

tbal

Hahaha

Why you fools gotta be talking smack about my other ride?!

BBBSS

But will they all run 12's even with giant turbo's like supra's did for years? lol

Also how's the turbo lag with a big single vs the old twin setup. The E55 has power right NOW with the blower, zero lag.

amgalex

I agree 335s are not exactly on E55s level in terms of class, room, prestige
but 335s are still very nice cars , my friend has an 07 coupe 335i and just with basic bolt ons and a chip he ran 11.95 at the drag strip.. Thats pretty impressive by any standards in nearly a stock car and he also get nearly 30mpg on hwy...not bad at all

theunderlord

I'm still confused, 335s compete with C class right? ( I'm still new)

I thought about a 335 coupe long and hard, but in the end, couldn't pull the trigger.

alextaylor29

Wait but can't I get a used GT500, put a Kenne Bell SC on it and deliver 800HP/800 lb/tq with stock internals?

Yes I can!

Just saying...
