Depends what you want done. Aftermarket or chipped standard ECU.

That does seem a little expensive but there is always going to be a premium for working on such a new, expensive car unfortunatly.

Anywhere should be able to do an exhaust, intake and intercooler setup for it but the ECU will be tricky.

I would like to get the usual upgrades like fmi, intake, full exhaust, and tune. Not after a full aftermarket ecu, maybe a piggyback or remapped std ecu. This appears to get around an extra 70-80kw at the wheels, and approx. 110Nm torque which will be plenty for me. For these mods the qoute was just under 11K.

Most tuners are dabbling in different makes, so hopeing someone on here knows a non-euro bunch that can mod the 335.

what model 335?

i'm guessing you're talking post 07?

you could get the exhaust, FMIC piping etc fabricated and save a few dollars... the best bet is to go into your respective state's section on here, find out about tuners and just call them one by one

ive had a few through, i will chase up the graphs. From memory it cost them around $2000 for a "tune" and we did before and after and the only change was the boost :blink:

Be wary though as most shops here just load in a generic german map which is usually just a boost cut speed cut and boost increase (for $2k),

i had one M3 come in and lose 29rwkw, from 239 down to 210rwkw (and 30nm) with the so called leader in BMW performance's flash tune (see attached) :P

Tony,

Is this what Ben's 335i have in when he took me for a spin?

Cheers

Grant

p.s. time for me to save up a lot to get one of these!

haha yep, thats the one. you can appreciate how impressed i was when i drove it. the power just kept pouring on like there was no end to it.

shame about the open wheeling diff though.

my mate installed their chip, filter, and boost lines, on his 335i twin turbo 08/09?

all up around 1k if i recall.

great results, no tune, no dyno, no mods.

yeah that is the boost chip. Pretty sure the last guy who came in upgraded the diff to a better ratio and lsd :blink:

Yes, I was simply blown away with how hard this thing goes, I told Ben that it's quicker than 270rwkw GTR I test drove, yes shame the diff is open, is it fitted with LSD now?

I'd be happy with the 335i and 100k in my pocket. Then spend 5k on the 335i and smoke the M3 :)

+1

no he didnt fit an lsd. apparently to replace the diff was some stupid amount of dollars. he sold it now anyway and bought a sedate 2L supercharged merc. really nice car. not a powerhouse, but good for cruising etc.

Yeah the diff replacements can get quite costly. A few companies in the states make some good upgrades with the diff. I've been following the development of the 335i parts from the US forums for some time now. I definetely would like to get one in a few years time once im settled in career wise and the prices go down a bit.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
