"Too be honest I think"...yeah that's a fact cause you think..GTFO outta here cuh you just annoying and I don't want you advice, i'd rather let my car BLOW up then read another one of your comments 🤣
Fact on the valve cover, don't get it twisted... and it's a public forum I can say whatever I want.
bru why are you hostile? a nig can't just mistakes and learn over time? i'm still young learning this stuff and you come in HOT thinking you run the place. RELAX it really ain't that serious bro. I'm sure we are all car guys that just enjoy our cars. If I make a mistake SO WHAT. ILL FIX IT. i'm not mechanically inclined but if I gotta do it then IMA do it. Simple as that you live and you learn bro get off my MF case
I'm not hostile, I'm as calm as I can be and I don't own anything on public forum. I'm just telling you everything frank and straight forward was possible. Everything I told you is as experienced from these forums and my car itself learning on this forum from peers, appreciating input over the years and doing a lot of the work myself. I told you it costs about 10k for ALL the preventive maintenance I listed and that's just on the parts and lowest labor possible. You want to lmaoooo and dismiss it? That's fine and on you, you'll learn the hard way over the upcoming years about the N54. Good luck.
yes I want to LMAOOOO and dismiss it. As I stated before i'd like everyone else opinion but yours I frankly don't care what you have to say because of how you came hot in this thread, you're nothing more then a waste of my time have a good day sir
That's fine. You two are the wrenchperts. Good luck.

Lmao and seriously laughing 😂 cause you guys are talking about brake boosting and launch control these cars when they are not meant LC whatsoever cause you'll burn you're torque converter so quick your 6HP is fucked, and I humbly learned that in this forum. Let's see how good of a "torquing to specs" mechanic you are taking out your transmission replacing your torque converter and clutch paks lol.
hahahah your so right bro you know everything about cars hahahah thanks for you information it will be jotted down ! thanks bro hahaha the most helpful guy here

No stupid questions here man we are all here to learn, I'm no expert at reviewing tables but from my experience thus far our cars really like quality fueling so my suggestion to you would be mix up some E30 and see how the car responds and go from there. I think you will see less timing corrections once your car gets some good fuel. Post up a log if you can!

He's right. I would never change a VC gasket without replacing the cover.
Also, nobody is attacking you by asking for a log there hoss.. we want to see a datalog so we can give sound advice of whats going on with your car. A data zap link will tell us all the pertinent details for why you're getting drug by slow cars.

This thread was hilarious tho. Still not sure if you're trollin us, and really not sure if the religous argument was a troll or not either.. Good fun.

thanks a lot man I will try it and post a log as I was able to bring down timing corrections previously with a can of boostane and it worked but I obviously don't want to be running that thing in the long term just wanted to check if it was the CA gas that was holding the car hopefully it will go just fine and then I will get the lpfp upgraded to run a better blend

Brake Boosting is more for Dig launches. You hold the brake, and gas the car up to 2.5-3k. There's not really a point of doing it when you're at a roll.
1st gear only goes up to like 35-40mph i think? So even at a 20 roll, you're already in boost range

This is also true and the reason I have never attempted a brake boost in my car. I know many others have done it without issue. But I'm just not comfortable risking it.

Over 10 years ago, my buddy bought himself a brand new 335i. Left it pretty much bone stock, the only thing he'd added was JB3. At about 30k, his torque converter went out. Coincidentally, he'd also learned how to brake boost less than 5k miles before that. Take from that what you will

Retards timing and allows you to build full boost. Off the line, or from a roll.
In a nutshell, a lil more to it than that. Iats, valve timing, etc also play a roll and Egts are compromised as well.

brake boosting is not good for that car, and I would never do it to my car, thats facts. the convo was purely theoretical from my perspective, could it help? Yes, but I care about my car. I have never done it, and furthermore, i dont drive auto. Cant recommend. Anti lag is the right way to do it but e9x has never shined in the realm of launching from a dig, plagued with wheel hop and broken axles. I only race from a roll and only in Mexico

I have heard this quite a bit. I get no wheel hop from a dig. I have broken 2 axles though. Never from a dig as I dont launch my car like that very often.
1st time was 2nd gear roll. Stock axles
2nd was 3rd gear roll. MFactory / YCW Axles.
1st was passenger side, 2nd was drivers side.

And so, at the end of the (work) week, I ask all faithful readers to refer back to post #3 of this thread. I believe we can all agree we have a winner?
Thank you and good night.

well i had close to 90 passes on the drag strip last 2 years, brake boosting every pass to do a burnout, then to launch the car, so that is at least 180 times i brake boosted the car with no issues. and that is only at the track. So if it was THAT bad something would brake after 10-15 times right ?? FACTS

No, not FACTS. some get lucky some dont. case by case big guy, consider yourself lucky. has a lot to do with maintaining the overall health of all systems on the car. its facts that It puts a lot of strain on the car which CAN (not will) break shit, are you denying that? cuz thatd be a pretty pointless stance to take
