E92 328xi Shooting flames..

Paliator · 09-05-2018, 07:14 PM

Hello everyone! I have achieved flames on my stock motor N52 328xi E92. I have a full straight pipe (catless headers back) with a tune from Bimmer Performance Center with a WOT Box which I think is pretty unique to this car. My 328xi with 225,300 miles on it is out there shooting flames LOL. I will attach videos. I hope I posted this in the correct section.

But my end goal was achieved and my 328xi with 225,300 miles on it is out there shooting flames. I will attach videos. I hope I posted this in the correct section. My only wish is that I hope I can buy bigger injectors, for well bigger flames. If anyone know of any quality upgraded injectors I'd really appreciate it. Here are the videos:

Congrats..

LOL. That must be obnoxious and loud as hell, while being overtaken by Camrys.

I've seen a butt-kicking misfire turbo...and the blurple...now I see a cat hater that moves as fast as one...

hhehe, glad you're happy man. don't go into gang territory.

I like it, my 67 bug used to shoot flames

Biginboca · 09-06-2018, 06:39 PM

I’m so old I can remember when people paid money to get cars to stop doing that

bimmerclad · 09-06-2018, 07:53 PM

Damn idk what anyone here is talking about. Thats badass. I wanna be able to shoot flames just like that. I'm working on the catless headers and I'll probably find someone to do a custom tune.

Haha as long as your build makes you happy I hope you can achieve that. Gotta live while you're young. Do you have an n52?

Hey, for reference, I grew watching reruns of campy Batman as well as Michael Keaton Batman. They always had jet flames flying from the Batmobile.

hassmaschine · 09-06-2018, 09:43 PM

Yeah, but a 328i automatic isnt the Batmobile - be honest, its your mom's old car you got as a hand-me-down. Thats why its lame.. All the show, none of the go..

328xi 6MT, 4500$ of a hardworking summer. No reason to hate when you can't get a single fact right.

The G.O.A.T.

I don't care what anyone says, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time - even if all the N54 fanboys and their flames come to the NA section to roast you... One small step for man, one giant leap for NA-kind!

Eagle1oh7 · 09-07-2018, 02:21 PM

I spit flames when I downshift and floor it. That's just a result being catless and having a tune.

Thinking about getting the BPC tune for N52 and purchasing AA headers... would this yield the same results? Or would I have to get a custom tune that makes the A/F mixture run on the richer side? (I already have my secondary cats removed)

rjahl · 09-07-2018, 07:23 PM

Funny,

My current Z will fart and pop on a stock tune and frankly I hate it. The rumble on the floorboards just feels wrong to me. With the top down it just does not have the "grace" that I expected.

While I have enough to torque down low and don't need to downshift as much I find myself not wanting to wake up the dead every time I feel frisky and stay in higher gears.

I'm glad we all have different "tastes".

I don't see why not. I have the N51.

gT-BMW · 09-08-2018, 11:34 AM

I think its pretty cool. Its one of those mods that look cool but wouldnt do it to my own car.

Headers would be better than my setup if you have the money. Those headers aren’t cheap. I had my headers removed, hollowed out, and put back on for less than half the price of those headers. You could do it yourself but I didn’t want to risk breaking a stud on my headers. I just have my front cats hollowed out. And yes Bob at BPC made a custom tune for me. You will shoot flames with no tune every once in a while with headers and full straight exhaust, but it won’t be anything like those flames.

Lemme add this to the list of things I like as long as someone else owns it.

Good examples of that list include turbo rotary engines and a VW Passat W8.

Also if you want bigger injectors you can look at S65 ones - pretty sure this is what the ESS supercharger kit uses.
