Hey guys, first time posting a "build thread" despite being on this platform for almost a decade. Most of my previous mods are on the suspension/chassis up until now.
The car: 2009 E92 335i, auto, had it since new. Spent a lot of effort setting it up for street/road course since the warranty expired a few years back. Won't bother y'all with a long list of chassis mods here, but see the link in my signature if you are interested.
The goal: Nothing crazy or record setting here. I just want a reliable +500whp setup on pump 93 that also looks nice when you open the hood. Went with the EFR 7670 instead of the typical precision stuff for its water cooled CHRA and gamma-Ti turbine. Should be a super responsive and lag free setup once I get it dialed in.
The setup:
ACF/VM top mount, T4 divided, twin EWGs, recirculated dump pipes, ceramic coated hot parts
Borg Warner EFR 7670 (~57mm compressor), EWG turbine housing A/R ratio 1.05
Bimmerlife R8 coils w/ N20 spark plugs (gapped them at 0.028" for now, might have to gap them down a bit more, will have to see)
ADV O2 sensor
Phoenix Racing/BMS 7.5" FMIC (I spray painted the core, wasn't a big fan of the overspray lol)
Motiv Boostbox, tuning is being done by @CKI@Motiv (keeping the JB4 as backup)
BMS OCC then VTA for the boost side, just the RB valve for the vacuum side for now. Will try something else when someone releases those metal valve cover.
Finally got the turbo kit from Anthony this Monday. I wasn't able to see them in person. @Sirdaft1 was able to snap some nice shots for me last night. The stuff looks very high quality.
The car is spending the next 3 weeks at the shop. So look out for more updates in the coming days!
