( thus far I haven't seen anyone advocate it being a better setup, maybe he just had it sitting on a shelf, or perhaps just a target power #) |

Wow
That's amazing my friend, can this be achieved on a 135i with the N55 engine surely it is easier due to it being a single scroll turbo? What reinforcements did you do to the block?
Thanks again |

I may be wrong but with the N55 engine close to 450 ps is most you can get without digging deeper in the block which is similar to bolt-on (twin turbo) N54 tunes.

The Engine might not need it but what about the gearbox? |

Yes, other than the engine every other essential part of the car needs reinforcement of course. Engine can take it. Dack had a front page thread about it but must be in the 2 series section.

I had the 135i (n55) and crashed it... So I couldn't find an n54 135i where I live so went with the 1M... When I bought I had no plans whatsoever to go ST but after I fiddled with the twins with no luck I decided to go with it... Obviously it can't go back to stock, but I never really plan on selling it, being so rare and manual transmission.. After a couple of years of daily driving maybe I'll just keep it as a track or drag car...

I'm still fiddling with the tuning part with the JB4, so I'm expecting a little increase in power still.. After that we might need to look into engine reinforcements!! |

You just don't see N54s dropping rods, warping cranks, valvetrain issues, etc. Most that go kaboom are the result of overly aggressive tuning, not power levels per se. Then you add in the fact that these singles are far more efficient, you can produce equivalent power with far less timing and the ensuing heat. The N54 is very temperamental and fuel still needs some work. But it's a ridiculously efficient and strong motor.
