anyone close to 400hp?

[marcus]

Has anyone come close or is over 400 hp yet? The 400 is my goal, you guys think it's possible with a JB3, RR intake, DP's, and exhaust?

[135i_TT]

Interesting thread, I think there is quite a few people on here with 400hp/400+lbs ft torque..

and I think you may need a little bit more modifications to get to 400hp if your using a JB3..

[EINSER M]

u should be really close to 400rwhp with those mods your shooting for.

[marcus]

What other mods you thinkin of TT?

[JohnL135I]

are we talking 400 hp at the wheels?

JB3+intake= 350ish wheels
+Catless Downpipes- 370ish
+Full exhaust-380ish

Honestly, I think JB3/intake/Downpipes= One Happy "ONE"

[135i_TT]

Yea you should be real close to 400rwhp, as for what other modifications I'm not to sure yet, but I do know Dinan (the tune i plan to get) does give you about 350+hp.. JB3 doesn't get the power that high but it does come close, check out the new intercooler if it adds any hp/torque, i know there's other things that add a small percentage of power that will get you to your goal =)
Just look around the forum I'm sure youll find what you need bc at the moment the other modifcations dont come to mind haha.

Nice shouldn't be to hard since yall have the Autobhan there :biggrin:

[marcus]

Yea the autobahn is nice, I was goin 150mph yesterday on my GSXR fun times.

[135i_TT]

I bet we have a speed highway in houston but its only open certain times and not everyone maxes out their cars on there so w/ the 135i I'm sure we would get on someones tail before the speedo maxes out

[135i_TT]

check this out adds 15hp/trq should help you get to where you want:

you also have the texas spedway by dallas, not sure if you can drive you car on there. i used to live in abilene,tx. i was checkin out the intercooler earlier and the AA one too. Not sure yet I will see what the paychecks say lol.

[135i_TT]

really we have one in Dallas I was not aware of that.. I'll have to go check them both out as soon as i get my 135i. But yea dude, let me know if you get one and how it works bc a few friends are telling me to look into JB3 instead of Dinan but I'm going for Dinan at the moment, so let me know how it all goes.

[marcus]

I am just waiting to for the PnP version to come back in stock then I will order the JB3.
Yea its called texas motors peedway.
I cant get the catless DP's John german inspectors are bit#*es lol.

Yes it is definitely possible. On n54tech down4it got 398whp with jb3 and all the bolt on on 97-98 octane. Here' the link:

There are a few JB3 dynos around showing 350 on otherwise stock cars I believe.

[TunedM2C]

FWIW: 400hp minus a 12% drivetrain loss equals 352whp.

I thought the Dinan tune was rated at the crank and not the wheels. I'm pretty sure the JB3 is certainly more power to the wheels than the Dinan but correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah it is, the Dinan reflashes are lucky to make 330whp. the JB3 is a much more powerful solution than Dinan.

[E82tt6]

Dinan=~50bhp increase, vs aprox 70rwhp increase from jb3. With v81 getting near 400rw might be tough...

You can't usually drive on TMS w/o some special event... But you can go out to MSR(Motorsports Ranch) in Cresson, TX or TWS (Texas World Speedway) near College Station.

I could list a few more, or you could just go here:

Kool! do we have an actual track with curves and stuff here in TX? My best friends have a LS1 Vette a 350Z and a GTI and when I get my 135i we all want to go to an actual track that has curves and all bc straightways get boring real fast haha.
