@paulmerz. I'm talking about horsepower at the wheels not flywheel horsepower. Also I didn't gain any horsepower from the combination of intake/exhaust. The car should be putting out right around 400 at the flywheel.
@miksirikoitsen Yes it did. Everything stock down to 225's on 15" rims but a Jim C chip the car went 14.065@101.75 (I think I removed the spare tire). That was trapping in 3rd gear with stock gearing thanks to the 7k rpm rev limit. With weight reduction, 13lb fw, 3.15lsd, intake/exhaust the car went 13.5.
Could you tell what kind of weight reduction did you make and how much did you save weight? My sedan weights 1680kg stock. What does 13lb fw stand for (English isn´t my native language), what is the stock dif ratio (i have the M5 style 25% lsd but dont know the ratio, and are you running stock cats? You can find a vid of my car here streetfire. net/video/bmw-540i-v8-drifting_2052573.htm (remove space from .net)
@miksirikoitsen Exhaust considerably lighter. No cats, no resonators, surpersprint muffler. Carbon Fiber Hood. Factory seats removed front and rear. Fronts replaced with race seats ( some added weight due to rollbar ). 13lb lightweight flywheel. Car was down in the neighborhood of 3200-3250 lbs. Stock ratio is either 2.83 or 2.91... I can't remember off the top of my head.
7lbs... haven't had it on a dyno... probably do that after I add some form of intercooling and get a custom tune. If I had to guess I'd say it's in the 315-320whp range... car went 12.7 @ 109-113 in the 1/4.
@jkc2121 uh, I've seen the various compressors for the M60 with 7 pounds of boost..they usually yield more like 400-450hp. An M60 with some light tuning (exhaust, DME reprogram, etc) can easily make 300-310..
very nice

where can I find 3.15 lsd? I mean what BMW´s has it so I could try to find it second hand. Do you think that Jim Conforti chip is worth 250 dollars?

@M335 correct. it does have the added weight of a roll bar in it, though.
jkc2121 1 year ago
@M335 the car is somewhere in the 3200lb range right now. Went 13.5 @ 103-104 with 254whp when it was n/a.
