Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 a fair bit Lol, I bet! With the exception of those wheels (damn right I'm envious!) I like the fact you've kept everything subtle. Any plans on upgrading the turbo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Love the diff photos. That car must go like hell! Played around last night a bit, car definitely feels very different when launching and cornering feels alot more solid - backend used to twitch and in the wet it was worse - out at hampton downs tomorrow - will know alot more soon ya its quite fun running ethanol, car used to feel like a bit sluggish/torque wasn't as there at high rpm's on normal 98, with the ethanol maps car just pulls all the way to red and gives me a big smile at the moment Lol, I bet! With the exception of those wheels (damn right I'm envious!) I like the fact you've kept everything subtle. Any plans on upgrading the turbo? Its on my list - but not high priority - with the amount of time the car's been out of my hands with bits getting installed etc , need more time to enjoy the car would be keen on the stage3 turbo upgrades as the stage 1 & 2 setups still use the factory turbo housing which is tiny and when dialing in that much power on them - issues with smoking/overheating all the stage3 at the moment are for the LHD market, no RHD models yet FFTEC have been running a big single turbo - not that keen on a single setup Vargas Turbo are doing upgraded twin turbo setup - no plans for RHD models CPE at sema came out with a very nice looking kit - no price yet (http://atmosphereturbo.com/) Edited November 23, 2013 by mod335 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jake1829 119 Report post Posted November 24, 2013 So much happier with having a LSD installed, hampton downs was a lot of fun - you know its been a good day when you use a full tank of gas on the racetrack Will need to look at getting another oil cooler for track days - in the afternoon had 2 sessions where it was running about 135 degrees 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 25, 2013 hey tristan, what sort of mileage do you get with the v8? Usually around 15-17l/100km. I work 7 mins drive from home (no traffic though as I start at 6:15) so my driving is cold start and short for the most part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jake1829 119 Report post Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Was out at bmworkshop yesterday afternoon getting some dyno results and logs from my normal 98 maps e40 comparison versus my stock baseline Stage1 versus Stage2 map - very underwhelming ( only thing we can note was it was about 10 degrees hotter when we were doing the stage2 pull yesterday versus when we did the stage1 pull) logs from when car was up on the dyno http://www.datazap.me/u/jake1829/oft-stage2-dyno-pull-1?1-3-4-5 http://www.datazap.me/u/jake1829/oft-stage2-dyno-pull-2?1-3-4-5 Edited November 27, 2013 by mod335 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jake1829 119 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 Not sure what you mean Matt Gavin@bmworkshop i believe installed the LSD in my car only thing i remember is that certain models of the 335i had welded, others like mine was bolted so it was a easy swap, the welded ones you needed to get the whole pumpkin or something like that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
