I fail to see how an aluminum turbine housing would be able to cope with the EGT’s commonly seen in turbo charged applications, unless they are running coolant through it (terrible idea). This is...

That’s a really nice gain from headers and a tune on an N.A. engine. They probably make that V10 sound $#@!ing phenomenal, too.

Now it all makes sense. Why would you wear this color blazer with those jeans. Were they supposed to match or did you just get dressed in the dark?

Don’t they have some idiot from Hyundai in charge of their design team now? They need to hire back the last guy.

LOL, I never realized this was Tony.

That being said, the service FEMTO provides is changing the game on the newer Bosch ECU’s. Props to them for their success with these ECU’s!!! Glad they found a way to keep providing their service!

Me, I knew. Sending your ECU to Russia was always questionable LOL.

It’s about time.

Sounds like the U.S. version is a bit lighter than the one they had. I guess once everyone goes electric, these things are going to seem like feather weight track cars in comparison LOL.

Jesus, they need to put that Ferrari on a diet.

I think he released a piggyback several years ago, too. I forget which BMW platform it was for, but I believe it was also locked at the time.

On a side note, it will be interesting to see if /...

Sticky What the $#@! did I just watch? Spam?

It will definitely need to be tuned to run properly. AFR’s will be all screwed up and ignition timing will be too advanced to run boost safely on the stock map.

Uhhh sorry, but that entire thread didn’t exist back when I first read it in 2011…

You got here 4 years later.

That’s interesting, I didn’t realize they lowered the CR on the S58. BMW has been using 10.2:1 on almost all of their inline-6 turbo motors since the N54. With direct injection there is really no...

Well then I’ve been mis-lead LOL. Take it up with this guy:

An AWD version would be tits. Not sure they are too worried about stepping on the toes of the M3/M4 since this car will probably be pretty close in price. It will be detuned, so that should be good...

The new 2JZ-GTE. :handgestures-thumb:

Well I sure hope M and i do mix, otherwise M is dead in 10-15 years. BMW won’t be making gasoline cars after that (nor will most other auto makers).

Good! BM3 is what I have. I have spent a lot of time in the map editor, but it’s amazing how many tables you can change that don’t have the expected outcome LOL.

I have seen a lot of helpful posts from you around here! How much experience do you have with tuning the S55? I would love to know how to properly dial in boost on that platform.

Remember when fast sedans used to be “sleepers”? Now it almost seems like the norm.

Damn, that makes me pretty confident that 9’s @ 140+ will be possible with a full e85 tune and no hardware upgrades.

Yeah, it would be great for running from the cops; that was my first thought.

I want to see some X3M vs Trackhawk action.
