The new dirty derv

Featured Replies

After selling my fabia I decided I needed a new project and this time it is in the form of this BMW 335d Msport.

The car is a much better place to be sat in but as of yet is missing the "va va voom" of the fabia. Yes it is quick in standard form but no where near as mental as the fabia was lol.

Standard graph showing 273bhp and around 370ftlbs (330 is the average)

As with the last build this one will be taken quite far to reach some silly figures.

 

Plans at present are

 

upgrade FMIC
Remove EGR
Remove DPF

Remap

Remove swirl flaps

 

Once that's done and has been bedded in will look at upgrading the turbos to see a tad over 400bhp and 550 - 600ftlbs with any luck. Once the power side of things have been sorted I will begin to tidy the car up a little but that will come much later on lol.

 

A LSD may also make it onto the car depending how twitchy it becomes but seems rather sedate in current form :notme:
 

Oh yes, a 4 door too, man after my own heart!

Make more smoke!! ;)

Small update:

Manage to get some time on the ramp to see what could be squeezed out of the car in "standard" form.

Before Starting the dreaded IC pipe got checked and changed. Very leaky indeed.

Replaced with a nice new forge pipe

Then we ran it again to see what if any difference fitting the pipe had made. Glad to say yes it did help and proves if its leaking you ARE loosing power.

Before (blue) and after (red). The main difference it seems is the amount of torque being lost.

We then spent a good few hours tweaking the map. Time soon caught us out so had to settle on these as final figure for now. We hope to be able to get abit more out of her yet. The engines are amazing to say the least.

343bhp & 510ftlbs (484ftlbs average)

Safe to say the car has been transformed and the increase is well worth the money. The way the car now accelerates is quite scary hitting silly figures rather quickly :devil:

Decided to go all American and activated the US sidelights. Makes the front look more aggressive :evil:
