Slowly modding my 335i... input on next mod?

Roger That · 03-02-2016, 11:37 PM

Ok, so I've owned my 07 335i e92 for the last 45k miles. Has 94k now. Purchased extended warranty up to 110k miles bumper to bumper and have already replaced turbos (due to wastegate rattle), low pressure fuel sensor, hpfp, valve cover and oil housing under warranty. At 75k I installed the JB5 G5 ISO and BMS DCI (prior to any of the warranty work done) For the last 4k miles I've been going 12 gallons of 92 and 4 gallons of e85 on map 5. So far no issues...not even really hard starts in the morning at 50 degrees.

I always use map 5 ethanol or not. This is fine right?

Catless DPs or FMIC?

There are 2 e85 stations within 5 miles of my house and its $2.50 a gallon. Plan of attack is FMIC, stage 2 lpfp fuel-it and e85 flash and then catless dps.

I would do the fmic first if you enjoy going wot over 50mph. Better first mod than dp.

Your up there in miles so lpfp would be next, and since your mixing e85 you should go with fuel it stage 2.

How much ethanol will that allow me to safely run? e70 on map 7 with a flash and when on straight pump daily driving just use map 5? That's what I do now I hardly ever use any map other than map 5 with or without e30

Wouldn't mind a walnut blasting the intake valves before any additional HP mods either...

PNWN54 · 03-04-2016, 12:39 AM

Like mentioned above, do fmic first and then downpipes. Log and see what your stock LPFL can handle but usually it's no more than e30-e40.

Chris@BoostConcepts · 03-04-2016, 12:53 AM

I would say go for downpipes first, then fuel pump, and then intercooler. More e85 will do more for power and knock control then the intercooler and downpipes will free up some of the choke in the stock turbos.

With summer getting closer, i would pick an intercooler

You're running about e28 so you should have absolutely no issues. I ran over that in a 100% stock car without any problems.

Chris@BoostConcepts · 03-04-2016, 03:48 PM

Will you be doing the work yourself or paying to have everything installed?

Yea? I'm all about that... I love ethanol. Today I drove out into the sticks and did a few 1/4 runs with an app called "That Racing Channel" TRC. I'm on a e30/92 blend, DCI, JB4 G5 Map 5. Here are my times. (Should I post this in a different cat to get better feedback?)

Anything that requires a lift I will pay a mechanic to install, but otherwise I'd like to do all the work myself
