I'm interested in how the meth lines would work given the orientation of the ESS unit. ![]()

meth is more cost effective I'm sure... I'd love to overkill and do both and run 12 pounds
![]() My ass just needs to get back in the car and enjoy what she's become thus far and start the planning again. injectors will be like 700 according to Randall so gotta keep that in mind for full e85 ![]() Can't wait for fall and winter.

I've been wanting to do meth for a while now but the car is running good and I like it. I've been at 300 whp for over a year also. In PHX with 100 degree ambient temps on the dyno.
Super weirded out by the honey comb piece as my kit didn't come with one. I got my kit in 2014ish and have been mafless the entire time. When I hit 300, it was with a 3IM and ESS's new 330 Euro time.

You can install direct port meth for under $700 if you didn't want charge pipe meth injection depending on your pump, controller, etc. Meth injection will lower the air intake temperature charge more than an intercooler. An intercooler is just a heat sink. So it can only cool as much as the ambient air unless you water cool it(which ads complexity). Just some thoughts. Happy to discuss meth or I am sure BPC is more than qualified to give their opinions on which way you should go.

Dude you might be the lead. They get pretty busy, so I may get a final opinion from them but I'm certain its easier to hash out ideas here anyways. And thanks for the ideas and clarifications!

I don't see why having both would be an issue. He will be spraying a very small amount of meth into in intake runner.

When you go meth, make sure to put up a post about it! Locations of everything and whatnot.

So happy that it worked out for you in the end.
Right now you should stop thinking about future mods, collect the car and enjoy it for what it is first! That power at high end is pretty addicting! ![]()

Alright, N55 guy over here. Been following this thread since a buddy of mine has been contemplating on supercharging his E90 330i.. I'm not trying to disrespect anyone here or anything but to the OP, you need a new tuner.. I honesty don't think BPC can produce the results that everyone is looking for, gains of roughly 10-15whp on e40 mix? You're kidding right. Ethanol on forced induction should make much more gains than that. This platform should be at 300+whp consistently on PUMP gas. Honestly consider a different tuner, RKtunes up in NY area would be a good start, I get that the N52 has valvetronic and it's difficult to tune but the N55 is similar and they cracked it on the N55 for custom flash tuning recently, same can be done for the n52 when it falls in the right hands. BPC has a few N/A N52's with N54 IM and FBO running 250-260whp, a 4-5k supercharger all for a 20-30whp extra gain. I'm sure others may agree but something needs to be done to push this platform further with this kit as it should be making more power than we're seeing, again not trying to disrespect anyone but the OP has spent lots of money and I hope he can get much better results!

Got my answer - about 14lbs So he's doing about the same on 6lbs and slightly higher compression. But I'm just going to ask, how do you assume that more power can be made - have any examples to pull from?

So.. Yeah. You proved his point. N52 might have more *potential* at a given boost level, but even a stock N55 runs more boost than an ESS N52.
Do we need to fight off N55 trolls too now? We should be best friends... ![]() |
