Head cracks under stress above 331 pound-feet of torque? in BMW Blog, Performance, Tuning, Motorsport, and Modification NewsOk thats all well and good, so if this guy is such good friends with said testers, then what turbo / turbos were they running? And there already people making more then those numbers he claims are fail point and have been doing so for a while and the engine has been fine. As I said, still calling bs on this. BMW is not going to produce a motor that fails at those levels, that is my opinion, and is just that opinion. But until he can tell us some more details, what he is saying doesn't really add up.32 replies | 600 view(s)

Head cracks under stress above 331 pound-feet of torque? in BMW Blog, Performance, Tuning, Motorsport, and Modification NewsMore often than not the R&D guys use one off turbos for different testing. The first N54 test mule was a single turbo. The same happens software wise. There are many internal files with various power levels. Sometimes these leak and it's the beginning step for most tuners in the evolution of the tunes. You can see with the F10 M5 that most guys are using a "press file" with similar gains as it's what is being bounced around. Soon a stronger file will come out as it leaks across tuning houses. SAme is going to happen with F Series N20 with a 230whp 320i file being the first to hit the steers.32 replies | 600 view(s) -

What I am going to do is buy the parts needed for the stage 1 and we will have to do a send in and upgrade program with a guarantee of 1 day turnaround. I will be posting pricing in the next week or so.32 replies | 600 view(s)
