Fmic for n55

oman135 · 07-14-2011, 07:33 PM

Iam thinking of getting the Helix fmic for my n55 135. Anyone installed it on the 135 ? Any gains with stock tune ? Should i worry about my warranty ? Which other fmic is good for the n55 ? Cheers !

I got helix fmic for my n55 about 2 month ago. You wont notice much power gain with stock engine but i was told that with just a tune the car becomes a monster. I am waiting for COBB and than we will see. As of now my engine is stock and the benefit i get from this fmic is that when i drive hard on the track in a very hot ambient tempr., no more heat soak

What about the warranty ? Should i get the helix or ER ? Which 1 requires less trimming/cutting ?

Groundpilot · 07-15-2011, 08:13 PM

Go with Helix. It needs no cutting.

oman135 · 07-17-2011, 07:14 PM

Helix fmic requires some cutting for the 135

. No cutting required for 335 though

Any modification could void the warranty. It depends on how your dealership decides to deal with any modification. I've heard of several people here in the Denver area were denied warranty. Oil catch can and down pipe I believe.
