325IX restore and build continued(turbo, e34ix diff, DCT)

[nomansland92]

Put some time on the dyno today, I'm pretty happy with the results given the conditions. I expected spark blow out around 17psi but it started breaking up around 13psi at 5500 rpm. So it looks like I'll be going wasted spark sooner then I planned.

As of now it made 320whp and 325tq. We didn't spend much time on the timing map because of the miss fire, we only varified it was safe for further street tuning. So once the misfire is fixed and we can spend some time with timing it should really start making some power.

I see.. thanks!!

^^ looking for a single piece tho, not a 3 piece.

Do you know if the 325ix top of the strut mount is completely straight or be at some what of an angle like the 325i?

Might have to make one..

Do you mean the caster of the strut? They are tilted back slightly but nothing like the rwd's

where did you get the strut brace? Im looking for one

I bought it used, I forget what brand it is, I'll check when I get a chance.

Is that one of those Varex electric valved mufflers I see?

Yes sir, I haven't wired it up yet but I'm pretty excited to see how quit it can be, until the screamer pipes open at least

Right now im not using one because I went with a electric that fits pretty tight. But I got a sheet of 26gauge aluminum to make a shroud if I need it

[BMWManiac]

How did your stock fan shroud mount to it? Mine fit horribly....

After the last few years of troubling slowly over heating in traffic I finally narrowed it down to a partly cloged rad, figures the only thing I haven't changed twies by now. Yay to no more over heating!

I've been doing some street tuning the last few days. I hadn't got into it yet but it starts to build boost under 2500rpm. Dyno is scheduled for next Wednesday!

Can't wait to see this Ix amped makes me excited- the new in the old is a great combination

[nomansland92]

Exhaust is on and done, started it for the first time and everything seemed good. Tomorrow I'll start base tuning on some back roads. Wait can't to get it on the dyno!
