Your previous 100-200 km/h run of 6.1 sec would definitely put you in the 600whp range. My best 100-200km/h run was 6.3 secs and the car (2007 E90 6AT RWD) put down 580whp/550wtq @ 25psi. You can definitely do better in the 0-60mph. My best run was 3.49 secs (3.2 secs w/ 1 ft roll-out) on the street with LSD and newer PS4S tires. That was with a 2nd gear launch with boost limited to 17psi..couldn’t launch in 1st due to tire spin.
I havent tried second gear launch with the LSD. I probably should have stressed this is the first time i have driven the car with these boost levels since the motor went back in. So still have a lot of testing to do. We just had a chance to get both of us in the car film the zeroto60 and jumped at it. Will definitely give the second gear launch a test out.
@kaochk5360 wondering any issues when you run 6AT with over 500whp, a lot friend told me 6AT won't hold too much power, I am building mine 6AT 335i now and want to avoid transmission failure cause by too much engine output. Thanjs
@@allenchien88It’s not the power that will hurt the trans, it’s the torque. My 6AT was at 550rwtq and it would slip once in a while. The trans was stock and had 130k-140k miles on it. So when tuning, def. keep an eye on torque, esp at lower RPM.
I just did a 3.7 (0-60 mph) with some wheel spin on a cold night. Only difference is... I have some Mickey T’s 15x10x50 rear tires and wheels. And I didn’t even warm up the tires. I have most of the upgrades you have too with exception of port injection. I have a helix 4x over drive instead. You can get into the mid 3s but you need better rubber and not necessarily wider.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I did Whiteline inserts. They definitely made a difference but now I’m thinking going full solid mounts or poly will be even more amazing. I did inserts cause they were 40$ and I didn’t have to drop the subframe completely
If you could I’d recommend dropping wheel size and raising tire thickness. Put some fresh grippy boys on the back and you’ll hook pretty well. I’m just concerned with the BBK you won’t be able to get smaller wheels in the back. I’m trying to hit 680 whp on my Pure Stage 2 turbos and best mod so far was a great tire wheel set up. I can only imagine what a great set up with an LSD would be like. Great video
Man great video , I strongly recommend widening the rear tires to 285 or 295 and will sure notice a difference in traction especially for 0-60 times Good luck man, happy this car is back to life with great power
Get a diff brace, keeps the rear so much more planted! LSD mostly works when putting power down out of a corner... Also with E85 you can run 13° timing and maybe add more boost in 2nd... Anyway I keep saying it but 100-200 kph is more relevant these days. :D
Relevant for what? For people who want a fast street car to daily (a LOT of people), 0-60 is plenty relevant and 100-200 is just asking for trouble. I understand what you're saying if you're looking for a pure demonstration of HP without driver skill and traction limitations, but that doesn't make 100-200 more relevant. That simply means it's a more accurate representation of pure power. And we already have dynos for that sort of thing, so my argument would be that 0-60 is actually more relevant for street driving.
The diff is an absolute must before you tune them. Power is NOTHING without control.... the fact you can apply power in bends make it far faster point to point. ( ex rally driver talking here 😉)
If you jump on "sparesbox" you can get inserts for the K frame rear end bushes. About $100 I found it improved the rear end moving around under hard acceleration and surprisingly the biggest improvement was hard braking. They fill the voids in the standard bushes - easy to fit. 😎
You need to get adjustable rear camber arms especially when your already lowered. Cheap solution to fix a lot of traction issues since the stock ones don´t have enough adjustability
Awesome video as usual lads! I think everyone getting fast 0-60 times done it in second gear on autos, regarding rear bushes I just installed the Bush Inserts from power flex n my god it’s tightened up the rear end, it’s pretty easy to do as well! Well worth mod if u haven’t changed them already! I’ve also bought some cerokoat VRSF downpipes to hopefully get rid of the 2k rpm drone!
I had a similar issue when I had ps4s, went to AD08R’s , all the issues went away sooooo much more grip , car turns on soo much harder due to the reinforced Ad08r side walls and you don’t sacrifice wet handling unlike other “street slicks”
Have you considered rear subframe bushes? It should lockdown the rear. Nolathane full bushes are cheap and 2 piece which makes the install a bit easier
Definitely worth speaking to him. Shoot an email to me as zeroto60tube@gmail.com and i am happy to help you through the process if you have any questions before speaking to JSR. You members make a massive difference to us being able to do this, anything we can to do help you out.
I've tried second gear with open diff, and it was slower, either too long to get in to the power band or it would still fry the rears. But havent tried it with the diff.
Perhaps you need to code off the eLSD - over at vehicular DIY he needed to due to it applying breaking to both wheels or some such - can’t quite remember but interested in your thoughts. Keep up the good work guys! Any idea how others can get the same diff you installed? From a wreckers or something?
Great to see it back on the road... these cars are meant to be driven... they are so fun to drive... i think with a few tweeks to the coilovers the rear bushings and of course the map you can hit your mark easy... on another note... where did you get the ISTA from? i can't find a proper download site... i mean an official version not pirated one Cheers
Nice job! But I would concentrate on 100-200 times. I am curious as well what exactly caused the compression issue on the old engine. On my engine it was due to a leaking exhaust valve (17T 27PSI Cyl 4)
Absolutely for measuring power! But we kind of named our channel this back in 2016 so I’ll keep playing with launches. I do enjoy racing from a dig. So getting a car to launch is something I’m fascinated with.
Good stuff guys. My 23 year old just purchased his first N54 135I 6 speed. Also how’s your Gecko 🦎 coil over going. My rears are creaky but love the ride. Any idea why they creak ? Thx.
Awesome to hear you are bring your son in the brilliant world of N54 owenership. Can't think of a better car to learn some mechanical skill on. My geckos are still really impressive so far. Mine do not creek at all. But it shouldnt be too hard to work out where the noise is coming from. Generally shocks wont creek as the oil keeps them quiet, but definitely worth checking in case something is wrong. It's normally a bush that will squeek. Please let us know if you do work it out.
On lame very old high mileage 305,000 km's Stock turbos (One with a seal leak) on pump gas (95Mon) with a heavier car (335XI but only rear wheel drive) on Bridgestone Crappy's (I forget the name) and MHD 2+ tune. 0 to 60 Miles an hour (Not 100kmh) I could do 5.5 sec. No better. So I think this was pretty good but as we know there was more to come LOL.
Weight the car and do 1/4 mile, you can calculate an estimated HP from it (weight and trap speed), or you can use the LogDyno app to see improvements. I use LogDyno to compare revisions and upgrades. (I know the developer of the app)
Wind it up but get it on a dyno to check tune and hp output as I don’t think it’s anywhere near 600hp I would say it’s more around the 450hp as cars accelerate a lot faster with an auto
Don’t forget it’s on base map right now. The 100-200 time of 6.1 would need around the 600hp. 450hp will net around 8-9sec. It also trapped 129mph in a 1/4, rolling out.
Been waiting for this follow up video and I completely understand when you talk about the crazy girlfriend that you don't want to break up with because she's tons of fun. LoL!
Shift some weight to over the rear axle... Dave, sorry, you're in the boot mate :) Agree on the tyres though, might be worth a couple of fresh ones on the rear?
@@ZeroTo60Tube You can allow weight to shift with shock tuning as well. I would guess (but do research to confirm) lower rebound in the front and lower compression in the rear. Can't remember if yours are double adjustable. Running lighter springs in the rear may help as well. Did you do the diff brace/lockdown? You've done the subframe and diff bushings in polyurethane, right?
Your previous 100-200 km/h run of 6.1 sec would definitely put you in the 600whp range.

So glad I got the n54 with Xdrive some times it spins all 4 tires that's when I start to wonder how RWD e90s owners even deal.

Solid rear subframe bushings will make a huge difference in acceleration, rear end will be way more planted.
To be getting 4.3 with used tyres & no revisions on the map yet is impressive! You’ll be in the high 3’s soon. That car is a beast mate! 💪🏼
So happy you got it running again. On 17t's I made 671whp @ 29psi... 17ts are capable!!! Enjoy

Very impressive with a Conservative tune and still faster at 4.51 secs 👌
That diff must make a huge difference, especially cornering speeds.
I run toyo r888r 275/35r18 in the rear and I was able to do a 4.2 0-100kph with a manual trans. With my setup, your car would be into the 3s.
Try to launch at second gear with a little of break boosting, i use to hit 4.2 sec with good tires on good surface with just a jb4
Was that timing it with a dragy or the jb4?
Sounds like she’s running clean! Keep at it. Those times will drop with the tune revisions. 👍
That's the plan! Yeah, it will be a bit of work to get in to the 3's on the street. But thats still the goal......
In jhb we usually brakeboost and launch it from a dig in 2nd gear. Translates to a much more linear surge
Fantastic, excellent first run for a "new" engine
Thank you very much!
Tires are everything! That bad boy could probly so sub 4 with a super sticky tire for sure.
Will 18s fit over rear brakes just for comparison timing againt 19s??, cheers boys 👍🏴
Love the conversion rate!
Can 18's clear the rear calipers? A set of 18's versus the rubber bands on the 19's would make a big difference
Rear they can yes.

Wow - it's still quick .. you'll get it to where you want. Look how far youv'e gone to date! :)
Acceleration looks pretty decent, not bad. With a proper road surface and new tires you might already be in the 3s without touching the tune. Enjoy =)
Very true!
Waiting for this video for so long! Put the map back!
Not bad guys👍. I hope my car will go 4,5 sec one day! Dutch regards, Nico.
