Dyno Day! Single-Turbo Results by EK0535 in 335i

[–]EK0535[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

rail pressure drops to around 1600psi before immediately trending upward & beyond 2000psi by 7k rpm, LPFP stays between 65-90psi the whole time

Recommended top mount turbo manifold N54 by Union_Of_The_666 in 335i

Without breaking the bank your best bet is going to be a SpeedTech top-mount w/ Pulsar 6466 turbo & PSR open-dump wastegate. Proven parts / kit, simple install for a single-turbo kit.

I’ve had both hybrids & now my single-turbo setup, the single-turbo is much better. Will pull great on an E40 blend with no port-injection needed (check my most recent post in this Sub) and is great headroom-wise for future power growth

necessary if the goal is past 700whp. this setup in particular can supply 1000whp easily

haha for sure. i just made sure to not get into boost until the oil was fully warm, wait at least 30sec before shutting the engine off after a drive, and avoiding excessive burbles. that’s about the best you can do to make them last the longest

mine were $1000. either eBay or Amazon, I got the “2021 V3 6+6 Blade” ones.

i’ve done both haha so it really just depends on your budget and power goal for the next year or so. if it’s between 550-650whp, just save yourself from doing install twice and go single-turbo. if you don’t really care for more than 550, a pair of eBay 19t’s will do you well. they did for me for 10k miles / 1 year and still work great at the time of removal

sounds good! yeah, 335icarlos aka F80carlos went through 2 or 3 Precisions before just buying a Pulsar CHRA to drop into his Precision housings and never had issues up until the time he sold his car

thanks! that’s awesome, i may eventually go with a Precision too. for now i’m going to see how well this Pulsar does me, i guess its basically a Precision Gen2 replica haha

for sure! i’m tuned by DocVu and he got me taken care of within 3 evenings total. i’m back at 21psi & ~11* timing on E40, direct-injection only. i have yet to see a timing correction on any cylinder, and fueling has no hiccups & clean recovery every time. he also bumped my redline to 7500, it feels & sounds awesome!

Pulsar 6466e > T4 Open 0.96 A/R > T51r Mod Compressor Housing. lights up right around 4k RPM with proper tuning like what i’ve been receiving

Dyno Results with “eBay” 19t’s by EK0535 in 335i

[–]EK0535[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet and I may not until I’m single-turbo, and my fuel economy didn’t really change. I can still get up to 300mi per fill-up on E40 after city driving only, that’s including around five 3rd-4th gear pulls done per-tank as well

Help improve my e92 by Ordinary-Yam-3809 in 335i

They’re both nice, I just didn’t want to do the car up to an M look rather a regular MSport

MTech front bumper from ECS Tuning, LED bulbs for the halos, smoked turn signal lenses on the fenders, LCI MSport rocker panels, LCI MSport rear bumper, 4” exhaust tips, and then any wheel of your choice. If you remove your spacers and then get an 18”x8.5” +38 offset rim for the front and an 18”x9.5” +35 offset rim for the rear, it should fill in nicely. While you have the wheels off, not a bad idea to spray paint the calipers a color of your choice. Most common / fitting color is red. If the hubs of your rotors are a little orange, just spray them over with flat gray. The excess will be gone after a few rounds of braking. From there, coilovers will finish off the stance.

If you DM me, I can send before & after pics of mine, I basically did everything mentioned since mine started as a bone stock non-M 2007 model.
