Pure Turbo upgrade F90 M5

Found this on instagram



740WHP as opposed to 700WHP with a tune. Kind of disappointing, but still early.

From what I thought it's mostly fuel pump limiting the tune not really the turbos?

I couldn't find much online related to any offering DME has on the F90 M5. This must still be in testing? I had a BMW engine builder in North Carolina advising me to keep it around or under 700 HP to not test the rods and be the first to blow a motor.

I have a habit of running race gas and would not be surprised if I am that first unlucky bastard to have to rebuild. Anyhow though, doesn't that have to be first on peoples minds pushing the limits of the motor? Needing to know the replacement cost of the engine? That'd be my question.

Can anyone tell me what brand, size and model numbers are stock on the M5. I've been googling for two days.

I thought Terry @ BMS said S63tu does not like E85?

I read a lot about S63tu motors failing (I also personally had one fail). Is it really because of rods? I don't think mine threw a rod. I brought mine to the dealer and they said everything was melted together internally...

Dumb question not specific to this: when people stack tune + JB4, is it for more power, or just logging? I would think you get all of the power the JB4 would give you from the tune.

Let me guess. Turbos are like $5k, tune is like $3.5k, JB4 is like $1k, exhaust is like $7k?

The JB4 is used mostly as a controller at that point. We are going to be adding meth to the car as well. So yes, its used primarily for information purposes and as a controller.

pm sent for pricing on other stuff

I know a handful of people have already had these installed but haven't been on here to share the results. It'd be great to have some feedback on these as an upgrade.
