135i N55 w/ BMW PPK & JB4

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 05-30-2014, 11:02 PM

Had a customer in with a BMW PPK on his N55 135i...

with this, the car ran 209kw which is similar to other PPK equipped vehicles doing 210-215kw atw

With the JB4 the car now makes 229kw peak, but check out how much earlier the power comes on and the big torque increase especially down low.

The car is stock. Downpipe and intake will see that power curve keep climbing as opposed to flattening off at the 5k rpm mark.

Needless to say the customer is extremely happy with it

So even if your car has the BMW PPK there's still fantastic bang for buck gains to be had with the JB4

Look at that curve! Great result!

I'm gained much more than that on my PPK N55. However, downpipes, intake, exhaust, midpipes, FMIC all installed. Also 20% ethanol mix. 280rwkw and I'm expecting a shit tonne more toque. Needless to say, JB4 is great so far. Especially in ISO mode

In the words of @froop. Map 5 + E85 is a whole 'nother ballgame!

E85 is the bomb! If you have a JB4 it is an absolute must.

280rwkw n55!?
That's really good!
Have you got a dyno to compare the curve to the baseline?

PeteA · 05-31-2014, 04:03 AM

Yes Ill try remember to post a graph this week. Baseline PPK was just under 220 but that was FMIC + Intake. Then I added JB4 Map 5, downpipes, maddad mids and just under 20L of E85 to a tank. E85 made quite a big difference to regular pump 98.

Will JB4 still give the pops & burbles of PPK?

PeteA · 06-01-2014, 09:56 PM

Yep all the noises still there. Don't like it just unplug and sell it. Doesn't get VIN locked nor does it leave any info on DME that its been reflashed.
