Czech 335i N54

[miksebik]

Hi, I am from the Czech Republic, Prague and I have had E92 335i since 2012. Every year I upgraded the car with something and ended with a car that I sometimes hate but mostly love. I cannot imagine replacing the car with something else as too much love, labour and money went through it
My car has upgrades nearly everywhere. From outside it looks normal but under the hood, I think it is far from ordinary:
- FBO, twin Setrab oil coolers + Mosselman thermostat, CSF watercooler, VRSF 7.5" IC, F30 front brakes, Ohlins Road and Track suspension, MFactory LSD, Autosolutions shortshifter, M5 F5 shifter, M3 steering rack + M3 front arms. PTB twin clutch + SMFW. Polybushings everywhere.
Now my Hexon RR500 blew up so I am considering what to choose next.

Inside joke.

You should buy a single turbo by the way.

Fog delete! For my twin Setrab oil coolers.

Cool ride!

I have my car back!

1. PTB sprung twinclutch + SMFW made the car comfortable again. No NVH during acceleration on higher gears. Cool!
2. VRSF race 7.5" intercooler seems to do its task. During the pulls, the IAT did not rise. Maybe by a degree? LOL
3. Hydra HP650 turbos are cool. Spool is great and they do rip. I flashed JB4 PUMP backend, set map6 to target 16 in middle and 19PSI in high rpms (18 above 6000). And I got this virtual dyno chart?! I know it is just virtual dyno, but I have not seen such nice chart ever.
   
   Omar told me to rev it till 7200rpm that the power is out there :-D

Welcome! Another happy Hydra 650 owner eh? Mine are on the shelf and expect to go on the car this year.

BTW ... looking at what you've done, I can see why you like your car so much

Hi guys, came for your help
After 500km spirited driving, chasing with my friend in a Corvette Z06 in rain, wet, dry, cold... We really experienced it all.. I found that my car is awesome. The only weak spot I can see now are the seats..
It took me one post on Facebook in our local group and I got an offer for front seats from M2 CS. Manual, nearly intact. For 2800EUR.
This should solve it all. Lower position, better support in turns and cool look.
Do you think it is really worth it?

Worth it ? Hard to say, that's really up to you.

No, that is $3500 USD. For two seats.

Maybe thats a deal where he is at ?
Or perhaps he shits money.
Thats why I said only he can say if its a deal or not.
One mans garbage is another mans treasure.

If I paid that much for seats they better have built in massagers.

Why not just get some racing seats with the racing harness?

Let me know what you think about them. I've got to replace my turbo coolant lines eventuality..... so I'll probably end up doing the turbos too.

I solved the problem with the seats by putting on the M3 E92 seats . 500 $ for two seats ....

 

[miksebik]

Well, I decided to go for Recaro Sporster CS seats. Not the racing bucket seat, but only one, drivers seat. I think it will be better than the first idea I got a while ago

still not dialed up, got the 3.5bar TMAP today so its the right time.. But these turbos are good. A little slower spool than OEM but they pull till high rpm in a way that got me goose bumps!

Hey guys, a little update! With the light 513M wheels and 23PSI, RON100 and Millers CVT turbo octane booster, I did 100-200 in 7,05s!!!
Trebila, my tuner, said there is room for 24PSI.
Also, I have a 10l tank of pure E100 waiting for some experiments ☄

 

[JohnDaviz]

23 psi and a 7,05?
I did on 102 ron DI only (0% eth) and 21.5psi a 6.4 100-200 with the HP650s
