Hey All,

I have everything you need to give your standard RB25 / R33 at least 220RWKW, people have been known to get upwards of 240kW out of this particular turbo.

The PowerFC has been tuned for this setup, it was originally tuned for an R34 (OP6) Highflow making 250kW at the treads, but that setup proved too laggy and the power sacrifice is probably worth it for the 1000rpm quicker spool time, the tune has only been adjusted in the lower rpm with ignition timing removed due to the quicker spool time.

The PFC was tuned with the Z32 AFM and the JECS 550cc injectors, both which were new at the time of installation and have done maybe 10,000kms. The turbo is a GCG R33 highflow (not OP6) with zero shaft play and is a direct bolt on replacement. I have only ever run this turbo on 12psi due to only having the factory dump pipe installed at the time of dyno (and as you can see, holds strong), the turbo is good for 14psi but I never had the chance to run that before the car was written off.

I would recommend the ignition timing be set to 15BTDC, an upgraded fuel pump (040, Walbro 255, GTR, etc), boost controller and FMIC be installed with these components, then this should go straight on the car without issues, tune adjustment on the dyno might yield slightly more power for the less aggressive turbo but as is the tune is safe and reliable.

Pictures are attached, the injectors are still in the engine to keep then clean, i will individually snap lock bag them for postage. Note, the second graph is of the original tune for the OP6 highflow, first is with all the gear listed as dyno'd with a greddy profec b, Bosch 040, generic pod filter, standard coilpacks, ebay FMIC kit and 3" exhaust with stock dump.

I'm after $2000 posted (registered/insured) for the Highflow turbo, Tuned PFC, 550cc Injectors and Z32 AFM with plug



I also have a Profec B Spec II boost controller, matched to the setup which i wanted to sell separately, after $250 posted.

Hey, I will separate but the fewer packages/trips to the post office the better.

Chillzi, I would be after $1200 posted for those parts combined.

    • Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.
    • Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg    
    • 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.
