Nice! How hard were you pushing the last one?

My ss2 only got tuned to 18psi due to faults/leaks etc that I've mostly fixed. pulled some timing and got it up to 25 last week, almost ready for retune

Pushed the shit out of it, tried screwing 26psi through it but didn't make a single kW more. Turbo rear was glowing as bright as the sun haha. It did make more mid range torque but pointless as it bled down to 22psi up top.

Ended up only making 327kW pulled out some timing and it mad 325kW (mainline). Results did vary from another dyno I which read 340kW (dyno dynamic).

I think Tao uses a different rear housing now, because he warned me my turbo won't line up to my dump pipe now.

E85, but at the time I was tuning it was showing E72 (I run flex, car many runs 98RON).. I doubt a 10% different in ethanol would make that much of a difference in power.

they say it's on par, you would net the same results with E85 vs WMI 50/50 mix...

that was according to Yauvz's engineering mate (which is also on this forum)..

Yes it is more responsive. and can be built in to an OP6 rear housing.

Is it possible to get similar response out of an OP6 housing? Or is the 21U more suited?

10psi by 3250RPM and full boost by 3500RPM looks pretty nice (from the 21U). The biggest issue with all the OP6 high flow charts I've seen is boost comes on at 4000RPM which is far too late in a street car...

Specifically my question is can the OP6 housing produce "enough" power while retaining factory-like response. The standard OP6 boost response on my GTT is fine. A high flow coming in at 4000RPM would not be.

By "enough" power I mean a nice fat curve across the rev band. I care more about the total area under the curve than the peak value.

I'm sure a BW EFR turbo could be at full boost by 3500 their only a bit more than a hiflow.

unfortunately cost as much as our GTS-t rust buckets.

They have some with compressor covers that have a 90 deg bend cast into them too.

So $3K for the best turbo on the planet and $800 for a hiflow.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
