F30 Cooling.
Alright, let me start by saying im pretty new to this forum.. I bought myself a n26 f30 here in CA. So far it has afe intake and afe scorcher, enkei raijin wheels with michelin pilot super sports... So ive been really curious as to how well the cooling system is on our f30s. I wanna track my car but as of right now I'm afraid to do so because i have no knowledge as to how good the cooling systems are... Is there any options to upgrade oil cooler, and FMIC? If I am wrongfully afraid, i.e. does not need any changes to the cooling system, let me know. Thanks in advance.

So far there are a few who have tracked them, including one with an AFE Schorcher and so far the comments are that the stock cooling system is good at keeping things at safe levels.

Consider catless down pipe for some performance boost. A couple to choose from.

I have been in 3 different F30 328i's on the track. 2 MT and 1 auto. Even on a 95 degree day, the cars had no cooling issues. The 2 MT cars were being driven by instructors with carloads full of students. The AT was a student car that ran flawlessly.

I have heard to run DP's for n26 id have to switch out exaust to a n20 and pair with n20 DP. is this true? I heard the connection is different on the N26, which i have. I'm not interested in changing out my midpipe as ive heard there is no power gain there because it is a big enough diameter, but there is performance to be gained axle back... Is there a N26 dp out yet?

Point of the N26 is being extra low emission compared to the N20. Removing the catalytic converter from an N26 is……. (fill in the blank)

[QUOTE=David328M-Sport;13906312]Because I have an N20 engine, I don't follow the trials & tribulations of the N26. The catless DP from Evolution Racewekes & aFe are built for the N20. The N26 misses out at this time.

Sulevs are pretty cool, it actually has a vacuum line in our gas tank to pump the vapors out into the engine haha. When i learned this i thought it was really awesome lol. |
