mrad01 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Hi, I've been reading a heap on here to get my e30 318i up and running - thanks for all the info. I also have a 335i which I posted up in the Gallery - but for those who login as guest - here are my pics on my car. Spent a bit of cash on it - blacked it out, quad exhaust, TurboTuner (shiiite its fast stock, now its faster!!) Figure its about 4.8 sec to 100k and should cover a 1/4 in about 12.8... (people with similar setups in the US get times like this) Anyway, check it out! Marcus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrad01 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) mean! but 12.8 sounds a bit on the quick side Maybe, but the SSTT gives it 40 more rwhp and 50 ft/ibs torque...the butt dyno (and the poor traction control) REALLY notice it. It absolutely slams you back in the seat and holds you there until you let the gas off. Fun! I really need to run it to see for sure I guess!! Here is a slip from a dude in the US with exactly the same setup as me... (Left side) Edited March 25, 2008 by mrad01 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mrad01 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 f**king. Pimp. What does it sound like? Looks amazing man, and fark that's quick! I recorded this for the Remus guys in the US... Plug in some headphones (or good speakers) and you'll hear the turbos.... http://www.grepsoft.net/RemusQuad335i.mp3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Awesome vehicle my friend ... very tastefully done I see HPF are developing a 'stage 3' kit for the 335i replacement turbo(s) / intercooler and full remap / injectors etc etc .. should be a nice upgrade.

m325i 709 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Whats SSTT ? 12's is a very quick car. Though note that any NZ strips are way slower than USA. It's kind of weird that the 335i could have far more tuning potential than the m3, due to the fact its turbo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Nice car mate, and good to see you have modified it a bit and are enjoying it. I dream of owning the Sedan or Touring version. A Manuel version with the optional LSD and a good driver should tip into the twelve’s.. Take it down the Quarter and find out for yourself. . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m325i 709 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 Is there an LSD option? I thought only M cars could have an LSD. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gus 5 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 i believe BMW is looking at introducing it as an option else you can get a quaife from Birds here in the UK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hybrid 1043 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 the BMW performance catalog will be bringing it in as gus said very soon ... not cheap at all though. The BMW performce catalog cracks me up .. while all the stuff is of top qaulity .. they have taken alot of the design ideas from the aftermarket BMW tuners.

It's kind of weird that the 335i could have far more tuning potential than the m3, due to the fact its turbo. SSTT is the Split Second Turbo Tuner...really simple attachment which tricks the ECU into thinking it is at high altitude - so it ups the boost to 11psi from the standard 8.

Yuen 16 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 The car looks great, I like the wheels, what are they? (Model, size). Exhaust sounds good and I like the quad tips, though I think a more aggressive diffuser is now needed to complement them. You're brave to be modding a car that I assume is still under warranty this heavily! I'm guessing the TurboTuner can be removed easily but the exhaust not so much?

You're brave to be modding a car that I assume is still under warranty this heavily! I'm guessing the TurboTuner can be removed easily but the exhaust not so much? Thanks for that! The wheels are 19" BMW Motorsport OEM 225 style - painted by Bays Car Painters - they paint lots of BMW wheels... Yeah, I'll check out what diffusers come on the market. BMW don't really care about the mods, I checked - it's my car, there is no lease or anything on it. The warranty covers the BMW workmanship and materials etc - the exhaust itself isn't covered - but the engine still is. The exhaust is a cat-back style, they would care if I removed the cats and put in hi-flow headers I'm sure. As for the SSTT - it takes less than 2 minutes to remove with absolutely no trace in the computer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
