There are a couple of auto guys holding high numbers already. Haven't seen much problem with that yet but I'm sure some transmission work is in the future for them.

As for the 1000hp. That I'll believe when I see it. That number won't be feasible without a large turbo setup and custom piping with some great supporting mods

Autos can usually hold a good amount of power over stock. The key is keeping the fluid temperatures as low as possible. With just the addition of a transmission cooler or two and keeping an eye on the transmission temperature, you will be able to safely run quite a bit more power than stock. IE: The 4l65e in the GTO and the LS2 C6 Corvette is claimed by many to only able to handle 450whp in stock form, which has about 300-350whp going at them. But there's guys on the GTO forum that are stalled and making 600-650whp with just a transmission cooler and keeping an eye on temperatures and have driven it that way for a while with no issue.

Now I don't know anything about the transmission in the 135i, but I'd be willing to bet the automatic transmission could handle ~450whp and never have an issue as long as you drive it keeping an eye on temps and add a cooler/bigger cooler if it already has one.

The fabrication isn't what Id think the hard part would be, it would be tuning the engine for it IMO. I wonder if you could run one of these cars engines off a BS3 or something similar

Power, yeah, easy to do... All it takes is money and time. Whos got the money, because I have some time.

I'm glad to see other companies doing research and development on the N54. The biggest limitation I think will be fueling. I see no more than 500WHP with the stock setup. IMHO instead of tuners trying to design new injectors and HPFP a port injection in conjuntion with the stock direct injection might be a better solution. This would probably also solve the carbon build up problem. Though a better tuning solution would have to be developed and I think tuners as a whole are heading in that direction.

Also I can see more people willing to fully mod their N54's once warranty starts to run down. I know I wont be looking into this until then.

Not really practical/economical, but if someone really wanted to they could convert the car from direct injection and put regular injectors on a custom intake manifold and run it off a standalone system. Then you could use any of the great fuel pumps on the market and never worry about the stupid hpfp anymore.

If you're going for 1000hp, you won't have a small turbo on there anymore so direct injection won't be that big of a benefit any longer since the turbo won't be spooled under 2000rpm no matter what.

It would work, and you would probably see some great results but this would take quite a bit of $$$ and fabrication skills to accomplish.
