How much power can the xdrive system handle? post what you are making!

austinhuffzz · 10-13-2015, 10:14 AM

Hey there fellow bimmians,
How much power do we think the xdrive system on our e9x cars can handle?
i am looking to do the pure stage 2 turbo upgrade on my n55 and that would bring it up to about 500whp. do we think the xdrive and supporting components could handle this??

idspeedskater · 10-13-2015, 12:18 PM

519 on FFTEC's mustang dyno with no issues over 40K miles so far.

MT and running - FFTEC/Vishnu Single Turbo | Procede Rev 3 | Spec Stage 2+ Clutch | Spec Aluminum Flywheel | ETS FMIC | HKS Legamax Exhaust | Vishnu PWM Meth

This is also only at peak 21psi due to it being a daily driver running on CA 91 gas + 50/50 meth, so could crank it up with better fueling if ever desired

E90 w pure stage 2, AT
454/488 on mustang dyno
22psi

Got my car used so im not sure what the previous owner had done....I dont think anything from the looks of the car. But im at 71k miles with minimal mods...FMIC/intake Stage1+. Car seems to be handling fine. I drift it all winter long as we get snow(easier on the tires) Im probably harder than most on my car tbh and have yet to experience any xfercase/engine/trans issues.

austinhuffzz · 10-14-2015, 03:16 PM

Kamfa39, have you done anything to your transmission? How many miles do you have on your setup?!

kamfa39 · 10-15-2015, 10:17 AM

Nope- 20k on set up-
All good, knock on wood
Change plugs more often and upgraded DV
No fuel mods, just 93 pump.

kamfa39 · 10-15-2015, 04:28 PM

Idspeedskater-
What mods are you running?

kamfa39 · 10-15-2015, 04:29 PM

Nevermind

I like those numbers on just 93... I might pull the trigger earlier

How can you run 22 psi with only 93 bro ? You got jb4 on map 5 or something else ? Nice numbers btw

is the stage 2 turbo snappier than oem im wondering ?

kamfa39 · 10-20-2015, 08:39 PM

Cobb protune-
I'm maxed unless I get a jb4 and get n20 sensor. I have read and others posted 25/27 psi on pure stage 2

Ridgefield335 · 10-21-2015, 01:50 PM

Dont know my numbers but running the exact same setup as kamfa39 and have had 0 issues besides my DV, which i would highly recommend swapping out when going to stage 2.

Steve Theodore · 12-13-2015, 11:01 AM

Newbie asking but where can I read about what makes 'Stage 2' please? Thanks all.

It's just a naming convention everyone is using for stock frame turbo upgrades.

Give_Em_The_DD · 12-31-2015, 11:57 AM

LOL-

I think you'll be ok, you just need the appropriate tuning.

I've sense upgraded to the RB evos- so more power to come

Also note- when my diff went my front driveshaft was bent- caused the car to vibrate really bad from about 55-70 mph

driver_02 · 01-13-2016, 10:17 PM

is there an option to upgrade driveshafts or did you replace them with stockers?
