Here you go. This is against an FBO n54 on a custom 100% e85 tune...

Wow..an upgraded turbo N55 barely beats a stock turbo N54 lol this shit is making me regret getting an n55.

Stock n54 tuning as been around much longer and has less restrictions in regards to advanced tunes. Stock n54 turbos can make 500+hp; I'm running around 420 with a much less aggressive tune and still reeled him in.

Ooooo....I see. Then that's pretty sick man, nice. I hope soon we(n55's) can upgrade to even bigger turbos or figure out more advanced tunes.

Lol yup- no good from <4k in 4th or higher which I would not recommend.

What tune are you running? I'm working on a backend w jb4 may go PTF?

Here's another video just for a different comparison. One of the fastest trucks I've seen...

turbo_chris · 09-18-2014, 08:57 PM

My pure turbo will be here tomorrow!!!

Worked on the car for a hour at the end of the day. Got the valve cover off to inspect the Vanos units for the recall and found them to be in good shape. Installed the updated bolts and will re install the valve cover tomorrow.

While I had the top end torn down I went ahead and pulled the hot side charge pipe, inlet tube off the turbo, electric fan, water pump, and thermostat. I was going to finish pulling the turbo but was tired and called it a day. I can't wait to get this turbo installed and have the piece of mind that my motor isn't going to grenade from the vanos units at any time, lol.

iuhutch · 09-18-2014, 09:02 PM

That's a great start! Let us know how it goes for you.

aren93 · 09-18-2014, 09:14 PM

Everyone who installs the Pure Turbo better post a video of that speedomoter going 30-140 lol

nice keep us posted on the BE flash!

14@2 15@2.5 16@3 17@3.5 18@4 19@4.5 19@5 18@5.5 17@6 ......etc. gonna take some more logs soon bc after my DP went on my car wasnt hitting target as well as when i had the stock DP. i logged w/ in 20 miles post install and changing my targets RIGHT before i logged so hopefully it just needed a little more time to adapt

car feels great though

thank god for the 6MT probably gunna have to eventually upgrade my clutch though. i need more POWER!!!

turbo_chris · 09-20-2014, 04:24 AM

Got the turbo installed and started doing some logs. Power in the upper RPM's is freaking awesome! Targeting 19psi right now and should be able to squeeze 20psi out of it since PWM is nearly maxed out.

PeterPure · 09-20-2014, 06:46 AM

I always wondered when the turbo is out of its efficiency range. I always had the feeling there is a bigger difference from 14 to 16 psi compared with 16 to 18 psi.

I guess running it at max psi wont help longevity either?

I will do some tests with gps logger on some lower psi and report back.

JETmn · 09-20-2014, 03:00 PM

You will be exactly right darkhold, running at the top won't get you as big of gains and it will also decrease longevity. This turbo seems to be very reliable though, so I am not extremely worried about that. And by the time it dies Pure should have stage 2 out and it would be a good excuse to upgrade :P

deemarr 335i · 09-20-2014, 03:42 PM

What's the efficiency range of this turbo? Going to the track tomorrow but gonna target 19psi

Exactly what i was thinking as well

I have so far put around 12k km on it over 5 months. Thats 7k miles or so. She still gives me same boost as in the first week.

I am currently running 40% E100 with 60% 93. And have cm7 and cm5 nozzle incoming to replace the single cm10. The dual setup should flow more and have better atomization. Backend flash is coming too early october i hope.

Again exciting times ahead. I want to have the best possible setup in preparation for stage2

C63 handed me my a$$ last night!
Pure, where we at on the stage 2?
Will post video soon.

Are you running pure stage1? At what boost? I think it should be pretty equal though. I can take e9x m3's and c63 with my car.

That's never with a Stg1 Turbo. He should beat him with one
