I PM'd VSRF and it was $800 delivered for both their dp and 7" intercooler.
I was about to order ... Then bought a car the next day instead. I think that price is pretty good, just add install on top. Frontmount looked easy enough to DIY, dp sounds like a bitch from all reports. |

I was about to order and felt fairly confident it'd be ok, but can't confirm. |

Digging up an oldish thread here. I'm very impressed by the potential of these N54 engines with a basic tune.
I am curious on how the clutch/6 speed gearbox/driveline holds up with 260rwkw though? Uprated clutch definately required for this power level? |

OEM clutch is fine for all but repeated hard drag racing at the 300+ rwkw power levels.

Well that is surprising. I had thought something like the HPF feramic clutch would be required for a street car this powerful. BMW must have significantly over-engineered these little 135i's!

The power increase on turbo cars is cheap and easy compared to NA.
But you will pay a lot $$$ and energy to get the right stable balance of everything else which is already on M badged cars. Your choice to play tuner or to buy complete M car. |

... steptronic's however, can slip once you start upgrading turbos, depending how much you thrash it... a lot of the vishnu single autos are now being sold without much info so i'd take that as you will.. i don't know of any issues before 425-450~rwhp? I'm sure in the next ~6mths or so when people start chasing BIG power, we'll see how the 6mt box holds out.. the sooner the better, i don't wanna be a guinea pig haha Quote:
most people do seem to go an ACT/clutchmasters/Spec/a couple with the HPF when they eventually need to replace it anyway ED: i'm getting too used to seeing/reading about crazy power N54's a bit haha Last edited by flinchy; 12-31-2012 at 07:47 AM.. |

Of course just like the oe clutch in the 6mt, countless hard launches and high rpm abuse takes its toll |
