New mods for a N55? Any Recommendations?

jamj0911 · 12-03-2014, 12:40 AM

Hi i have a 2012 135i with N55 engine i already have this mods:

-BMS Intake
-Wagner Intercooler
-Cobb V3 Accesport
-Chargepipe
-PE
-CDV
-AFe Downpipe

Any recommendation for next mods? i´m trying to catch one friend of my with a 370z with 100 hp Nos Shot (ZEX nitrous and a uprev tunning)

Stack a JB4 with the Cobb and add Flex Fuel wires, Fuel-it.biz inline 255 and Pure Stg1 turbo upgrade. Add about 50-60% E85 and that should put you well past him

Agree that it seems you may have to upgrade the turbo because you're done with bolt-ons.

jamj0911 · 12-03-2014, 11:08 AM

If i do The Pure Stg1 turbo upgrade need a new map on V3 accesport ? or everything works the same

e36addict · 12-03-2014, 11:17 AM

You would need the extra fueling to supplement the turbo upgrade, and Terry has a flash for Cobb AP/large turbo cars.

Wait until he blows his engine up. Challenge him a to a race. When he looks at your funny, laugh your ass off at him.

Driving school so you can actually drive the car

pointless having those mods without having handling up grads.

In terms of power you can either add a JB4 to get more control over boost on higher RPM or get a custom map done or both

I suggest a plumber and a electrician on call. Lots of pipes and wires to deal with.

Not that there's anything wrong with your list of mods, but why that much? Do you track it? Drag it? Drift it? Just curious to know the reasons besides beating that 370Z.

We all know 370zs have horrible brakes so maybe that might be a mod for your 1er. Everyone says we have crap brakes and you'll need to stop eventually.

E85. That's it. Just E85. About 40% that and 60% of the highest octane fuel you can find that's unleaded.

I was told the Cobb V3 did not work for the 2012 and newer N55 cars. Did you do something different to get it working?
