does anyone know what small mods i can make to my engine to get some more power. ive got about 170rwkw with a pod filter, fuel pump, exhaust,. im looking to get about 200-220rwkw. hoping to get a front mount intercooler soon but trying to see what else i can do without boosting too much.

We'll next mod would most likely have to be an intercooler. There pretty cheap now anyways you should be able to pick up a full kit for abou 400 - 500.

Then powerfc would be your best option after that ($1000 in group buy). If the $1000 is too much you could try get an SAFC for about the $200 mark which will give you some noticable gains.

To hit 220 - 230 you would be pushing the stock turbo at its limits - i.e it prob won't last too long.

Have a look at the stage 1 tuning guide on my webpage (in Sig) that should get you to arround 200rwkw. Things start to get expesive after that though as you will be at the limit of many of your standard systems.

Intercooler first.. If you tune first, you will be needing the tune adjusted to suit the intercooler for best results. Well set up cold air induction can net a few kw too.

Yep I agree with you and you could go for a oil catch can they do work and give you a few extra kws

    • Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.
    • Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?
    • I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.
    • Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.  
    • Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
