New owner here!

fastimpt · 08-27-2011, 10:33 AM

Not sure if this is the right forum...however, I just got myself an 2008 e90 sparkling graphite (auto) with sport package, performance package, and comfort access. I had a 2006 Mitsu Evolution IX that was tuned on 25psi with the basic bolt-ons such as TBE, intake, FMIC, and suspension stuff such as Ohlins coilovers...

So I am here today to introduce myself!! I used to frequent evolutionm but now I have to go to BMW forums now!!

I do miss the power of the evo, I miss the lag lag lag then power! However, I do not miss the harshness of the ride since it was my DD. I know in no time I will have the e90 up to the level I had the evo to or even more. It takes a lot of work to get in the 400 whp/tq with the Evo safely. To get in the 400/400 (mustang dyno) with the Evo I would have needed meth and 27-30psi with the stock turbo. To get over that power I would have needed an FP red/black but then you worry about the stock botten end. The stock botten end will not take 400ft-tq for a long period of time!!

With that being said what is the stock limits of the stock block?

Soon enough with my car currently I will get JB4, DCI, downpipe, and maybe exhaust...I want to keep the car subtle unlike the Evo where everyone knows that it is "fast!"

Welcome!

As listed on the post below, which is a fantastic listing of N54 tuning options, the highest PSI listed is 20.

Congrats bro welcome aboard, 2 day old new first time BMW owner myself also but definetely not my last. You have one hell of a car, I'm sure you won't miss the Evo once you get your mods on the 335.

I hope I won't miss the evo soon! That thing had enough power to light up all 4 tires. If it's cold out (below 60) you damn sure I could spin them tires on a roll too not even from a stop! But enough talking about the power that thing had.....

I do look forward to modding the e90. I like that it has both, performance and luxury!
