Hello everyone, i'm new on this forum, from Georgia
.
I want to share my knowledge to everyone who is interested.I'm starting project, which is very important for me, i'm spending a lot of time and also
on it. English is my second language so please don't be strict.It had some exterior aftermarket parts SeibonCarbon trunk, Front bumper Carbon lip, rear bumper diffuser.
Now i'm collecting parts and i have already bought this:
1)Dct transmission from 335is.
But 335is transmission had damaged clutches because of wrong ecu tune clutches was slipped and all of frictions was worn out. I Moved whole clutch basket from my m3 transmission into 335is trans it was in very good condition.
2) Ebay 17T Turbos 11 blade Gtx style.
3)Vrsf 7.5 Race Intercooler
4)Vrsf 2 inch inlets stock location
5) Ebay OCC
6) M4 Dct Flywheel
7) Ebay Charge Pipe with stock blow off ports
8) Air scoops
9) Gplus 19 row oil cooler kit
I have to do custom bracket and install this cooler on driver side for engine oil cooling, because m3 dct have transmission oil cooler in stock passanger side.
10) Engine oil thermostat lower temp.
11)3 inch downpipes modified to v band no more restriction.
12) Because of 6 bolt n54 engine, i bought wrecked car on Copart auto auction, Tx-houston.Sorry for somebody's loss.
As it seems from photos it has aftermarket aluminium charge pipe, upgraded inlets, but i can't see which brand is it because of photos are very bad quality... It needs 2-3 month before car will be delivered to me by ship
i could go crazy, before this time passes.
For now this is what i did, i will update as soon as i got new parts or do something with car.
Update, Finally car delivered to me which i bought on auction, Tested engine Oil pressure ok, Cylinder compression normal. But i decide to replace everything Main bearings, Rod bearings, Piston rings, cylinder head gasket, Crankshaft front and rear seals. Valve seals and absolutely everything what is possible.
Bought Mmp silicone turbo outlet used
Update

Tcu tuned by @Begood69 , thanks john he is very welcome and helpful, he had not only tuned tcu also helped me about DCT oil balancing and adaption procedures, what is not easy. Now normal driving feels much smoother than it was before lower upshifts, changed drivelogic default to 1 on startup i asked it. Raised oil line pressure up to 20 bar. Disabled redline upshifts and etc... he is really pro DCT tuner.
Also started Ecu tuning with @Twisted Tuning for now he sent me base map and i have logged what he asked, will update as soon as he'll send corrected map back. At first we are going to do 98 euro octane daily map 18 psi, as soon as first map will be finish we will start second map wmi and E20-E30 20-23 psi.
I made a short video during logging process.
Updates car drives normally and stable everyday there is no even small problem about 1.5 month passed, even check engine have never lightened.
Daily map have not finished, yet. Justin is very busy person, 1 revision needs 1 week, now we are on 4th rev tune. When 93 octane (98ron) will be finished we'll start race map.
