I was running half and half. Half 91 and half 101. It made about a 95/96 mix with 16 gallons of fuel. It will take a few tankfuls for the ECU to recognized it. So you will want to run that mix about 3 or 4 times. Try to be as consistent as possible though. I always ran it down to fumes so I would put approximately 7 gallons of each. Sometimes I would end up running more race fuel than recital 91 cause I would do the race fuel first and always did 7 gallons.

Wow, it takes that many tankfuls? Even if you switch to race map on the JB4 right away?

It might. I know with the ECUtek tune in the EVO, it took about 2 or 3 tankfuls before I felt an increase in power with the butt-dyno.

Nfiddy5, just got the downpipes in last night and I'm in love with the turbo "whoosh" sounds it makes now!

Also, got the front JIC coilovers installed and WOW!!! You weren't kidding. These are the greatest mod I've done! The car feels like a Ferrari on the road now. Smooth ride. Corners like its on rails. No bumpy, bouncy, loose feeling at all. Getting the rears done today, can't wait....

Pics and vids or it didn't happen...

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 10:25 AM

I posted pix in my other thread, but here they are:

GringoStar · 03-31-2011, 10:28 AM

That's just the DPs, I want to see that suspension!

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 10:30 AM

Vivid Racing is installing the rears as we speak. I'll get more photos once I set the ride height, etc...

NFIDDY5 · 03-31-2011, 01:11 PM

Hey. The tech in the pictures did my carbon fiber last week! Haha. I bet he loves the 135i by now. Car looks good. Get it to the alignment shop now. Negative camber and massive dampening FTMFW!

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 01:14 PM

Yeah, he's new, but super nice!!

Alignment shop today!

Any settings or height recommendation to tell them? Def neg camber!!!

NFIDDY5 · 03-31-2011, 01:22 PM

I have the dampening set to max stiffness. And my camber is at -1.8 front and -2.3 rear. But that is due to the spacers and stock wheels. Due to the bigger wheels/tires you have, its gonna be different. I am about a quarter turn from the lowest ride hieght setting.

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 01:22 PM

Any bottoming out issues at that height? Driveway issues?

NFIDDY5 · 03-31-2011, 01:46 PM

Nope. My rear tires rub at low speeds going over dips in the road. But I shaved the inner fender wells and cut out the fender fabric...

I was disappointed with the numbers with my new JB4 though.....

What was your Max HP, torque, and boost?

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 02:06 PM

HP 272
TQ 287
91 octane
80 degrees out
Not sure what boost was.

Since the automatic kept wanting to downshift during the third gear dyno pull we had to press the gas pedal just shy of the downshifting detent on the floor. I believe it was still full throttle but you never know.

NFIDDY5 · 03-31-2011, 03:20 PM

Interesting. This dude in the general forums is claiming over 400hp. I was gonna call BS, but I don't know what all mods he's running. I still think he is brochure dynoing his car. No way an N54 puts down 400hp without juice, upgraded intercooler, and turbo. And that is still not gonna gain an extra 120+whp.

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 04:30 PM

Yeah, I truly thought I'd be close to 400 whp too(once I had the DP's on). Maybe with MAP 1 next time it will be better.

Is that your stock dyno? No way that is JB4 and DP's. You won't hit 400 without meth, but you'll do better than that.

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 05:19 PM

That was with JB4 on MAP 5 and a remus axle back at 80 degrees. 91 octane.

Even with Meth injection, 400 WHEEL horsepower is pretty unreal. But with twin turbos, gains will / should be phenomenal. Keep in mind too, VIVID runs the Mustang dyno, which h is notorious low reading extremely low because its calculating HP and torque by friction. They don't call it 'the Heartbreaker' for nothing. I still call BS on the other dudes claim until I see a dyno reading posted.

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 05:41 PM

Agreed.

Coilover photos coming up!

wildcat767676 · 03-31-2011, 05:52 PM

Here's the photos after the coilovers. Getting an alignment tomorrow so hopefully will be lower!
