135i build Thread .. 'Giant Killer'

[1speedbike]

You'll cut off a lot of time switching from the stock run-craps and running on a different map. Map 2 vs Map 1 isn't night and day, but it's definitely noticeable. Even with the same mods, if you had been on Map 5 (the autotune map) and done a few really hard pulls beforehand, it probably would have been a more aggressive map than map 1 considering you're on 93 octane. Which time sheet was the charger? I'm guessing the one on the right. Also, what'd you race for the other timesheet? Just curious

Just installed a Stett Charge Pipe with Tial BOV.

Will be going to ATCO on Monday to see what car does now.

Will post some more pics today or tomorrow of a few more mods that i did.

You may want to check out the carbon buildup on your car, if it's an 08 and driven relatively 'conservatively' by the previous owner then it'll probably be an issue that robs you of power.

how did you paint your rims? powdercoat? or did you paint them with the tires on?

oh and btw your 1/8th mile trap speed is 86 which should be good for 109-110 mile trap...your probably just heat soaked by the end of the run so your losing power, get an intercooler and your traps will go up.....

so here go some pics of the recent "mods"

painted taillights (white portion) black



Also painted the mirrors Matte Black





And the roof was also painted Matte Black



Got rid of the stupid orange on the headlights by using Matte Black Wrap



Now for the stuff which makes you go faster

Wheels borrowed from Qmax03's 335i

235/45/17



275/40/17 They rub, but will work for the track runs tomorrow.





Stett charge pipe with Tial BOV





Since PetrolWerks is a Snow Performance Vendor i went with that kit





The install was done under the hood, and i will release pics once Qmax03 is done fabricating brackets and all that jazz. But its in place for the track tomorrow!

Will update with pics and video tomorrow of how she does @ ATCO.

Went to Atco Raceway in NJ today (6/13/11)

The car ran the best time of 11.9 @ 114mph

Now this might seem like a good time, but the MPH seems slow still.

Cars mods are

JB4, DCI, Snow Performance Meth Kit, 109 Race Fuel and Mickey Thompson Et Street Drag Radials.

I could not do a proper burnout with the cars, as the cars computers interfere with you! (YES I DID HAVE TRAC CONTROL OFF COMPLETELY)

Big Thanks To PETROLWERKS for all the great work, and for being a one stop shop.

MORE PICS AND VIDEO TO COME.
