335xi - Build Thread & Suggestions

[Derek@MoorePerformance]

So..

Back on topic everyone

Fuel-It Stage 2 LPFP will arrive on Monday! Going to install it probably Thursday. I would like to get this installed sooner but... I work 10 hour days sunday-wednesday :/ but, I will have 3 days to go WOT

I'm going with stage 3

Are you going PI?

Are you going PI?

Kind of have to at higher power levels. I'll be running ACN91 and E54. Those are my only realistic options unfortunately.

Yea, I understand that. I was just excited for you!

I think I'm going to go with the EOS manifold. If you have the money, it just seems like so much better of an option.

Update:
Installed the FUEL-IT Stage 2 LPFP

Installation was a breeze.. In all honesty I had a harder time installing Lower Control Arms than this!

FP_L is staying at a good level! Looks like we are back healthy on logs!

Going to order ER Chargepipe + Tial BOV and an upgraded intercooler.

With that being said, suggestions on intercoolers?

The helix is very efficient from numbers I've seen... The Dinan (which I have) is a modified spearco with cowl and more pressure drop/air flow slowed down, so is a more efficient spearco... ETS, VRSF, come next on MY list... There aren't any good tests with any constant variables that provide good useful data for comparison... People have put numbers up but like I said the constants and controls are not proper for "science" sake... Idk how much the helix is... But then you gotta consider radiator overlap on some of these...

Helix or Dinan... Dinans are way less than they used to be btw

Awesome, I will totally look into Helix..

I checked out their site and they're on backorder :c but, I am going to look into reviews see who all is running what and see what all I can find. How much gains should I expect from an upgraded IC? I see people posting they gained up to 25hp and even some saying 30... I'm not sure how much I trust that but.. I am curious

Ade fmic. Helix nor dinan are involved in our platform they just sell us shit. Ad engineering is much more involved. My vote goes to them.

The comparison I saw were not from numbers provided by any manufacturers, they were from test results posted on e90 post about FMIC efficiency... Again the tests could have had more constant controls and variables... and weren't done on same car, same conditions, same tune etc. But that's that... The efficiency was calculated using some formula that I'm not sure of either, but sparked a lively debate about FMIC efficiency... The post was called something like "is the Dinan FMIC worth the $?" Or something along those lines, dimitri from BQ tuning was very defensive about the "re engineered" spearco core / Dinan FMIC... Wether or not it's solid info... You decide... Nobody argued weather helix was at the top, it was mostly people saying that Dinan is not worth the $, altho since then they have come down a good bit in price... Here is the thread I got the questionable numbers from

Hopefully I can get the VRSF FMIC if not.. I had planned on buying one anyways.

Haha I know the feeling, after I bought my 335 I spent about $500 the first month and then 1600 the next month. Now it's calmed down to just a couple hundred a month, trying to save for big mods

@Cheezy This is the post which was down voted. It was down voted by me on accident haha. Guess I need to space out the buttons.

I'll say while monitoring values / stats during a 2 hour decently hard run yesterday, with the Dinan FMIC, I never had IATs above around 16F over ambient (45F)... Oil temp of ~230, turbos full spool every few seconds, speeds from 40-70mph (55avg)... While moving for a good amount of time IATs only were 10-12F over ambient... Having IATs of 55-65F, seemed pretty good... Considering what the stock FMIC did... Like 30-40F over ambient... Altho ambient temps probly make a big difference... Like
Running in 80-90F ambient probly isn't going to yield only 10-15 higher IATs, but that's just a guess

Dang it! Haha I'm not too worried about it.

I already fixed it. Your record is perfect again

I took it upon myself to go view everyone one of your posts until I found out where it was. Shocked when I saw it was me haha

Now watch one of my friends neg me for no reason

Alright, I figured since this is a 335xi build thread it was fitting to ask here. Does anyone know the widest possible square setup to run on an e92 335xi? I was going to try to get away with 255 45 on 17×8.5 et40 but I heard the widest possible on the front is 245

 

[SingleTurboE92]

Just cut the front fenders and roll the rear. 275 all around!!

Probably not haha. I was going to try 265 but I figured that was too ballsy
