Hey wagon lovers!!

Got a quick couple of questions! Just spend couple grand on me wagon getting her looking nice and running a bit faster! So mods I have done are pod, front mount, 3" dump with no cat on varex muffler control (I know pretty extreme) but sounds intense. Just wondering what boost I should be running through it? Or is standard high enough already! Why power figures should I be looking at pulling feels like around 200awkw?

What other good and sensible mods can I do to achieve a little more power, not to crazy as it is daily driven :) already finished interior with full splits, subs, tv in it and jvc DVD player reverse camera etc.... Open to ideas guys :)

What power should I be making?

What boost should I run? (M35 250t)?

What other mods can I make?

P.s not looking at making it a track weapon either :) lol

With a high flow panel filter, dump and exhaust, I was making 166kW atw. Pod filter won't make much difference on standard ECU and suction pipe, so you'd be about there. Not sure if the intercooler will make any difference in these?

After I did all that, I was also making 15PSI. If yours is a 250t RS Four (which is what I've got), I think you're at 12PSI stock, and if you've got a decent dump and exhaust you'd probably be making 14-15PSI.

I'm leaving mine at 15 until I'm ready to upgrade the turbo. Scotty has run his on a standard turbo at 20PSI.

There are a lot of other mods you can make, depends on what you want to do, what you want out of the car, and how much money you've got. Do a search and you'll find a lot of info.

What will stop you initially is the stock ecu, we are still searching for a suitable way to adjust it and have to make do with the Emanage Ultimate at the moment. It will allow you to clamp the AFM voltage to get around the airflow cut and change mixtures, timing and injector sizes. Without this you will be limited to around the power Ryan is at.

The stock turbo will do 180kw on stock boost and perhaps 200kw at 20psi but may not last long with the ceramic rear wheel. I ran mine up to 226kw on eflex.

just look at peoples signature there u'll usually find the mods they have done :)

here's my list: Power Duct and BMC Airfilter, Scotty's Dump Pipe, Fully Custom 3" Stainless Steel Xforce Exhaust, Phenolic Intake Spacer, BC Coilovers, Transgo Shift Kit, B&M Transcooler, HDi Intercooler and sittiing on some 20" Advanti Desires.

basially im getting about 15-16PSI as low as 2500rpm at a guess i would have thought power was around 160KwAW so its good to see BigKev's stats as it makes me think i might be closer to 170KW :D

here's a list i stole off Jetwreck (craig) a while ago................

NismoECU Piggybacked with an E-manage Ultimate - Tuned to run BP98 - Currently safetuned to 15-16 PSI at 268AWKW's - Capable of more this is a very safe tune!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
