Idk about your 5BW but mines not a 4 cylinder, it’s a 6.2 liter supercharged V8. Now my winter beater Elantra N, lines right up with that

would love a solution to this.

I find it nice to have a 6th gear just for cruising, anything over 50 can just set throw it in and forget its a manual. It does suck topping out 5th and basically being done but for my use case of daily driving the car the trade off is worth it.

Shorter gearing would not work as mentioned due to the amount of power the has, and i agree with champale, once you drive it, they just feel right.

18s won’t fit over the brakes.

Ok that makes more sense i saw the dyno pull and he started listing mods after and i was like damn thats a lot of work for barely more HP then me with ported blower, 103mmtb headers and upper pulley.

Cam full cooling system upgrade full fuel system upgrade intake upper and lower pulleys ported blower header and catback 103mm TB only one of these statements can be true. G80 M3s are running mid 9s on the street with downpipe, port injection and tune only, 2 add ons, thats not a lot.

Is the fuel pump the only limiting factor in the fuel system or would injectors be needed as well if going full E85?

Very nice work. Did it need any fuel system mods to support the power ? Also any cooling upgrades? And that idle is so so mean, I have that part on repeat on my headphones.

My Type R was a 6 speed and had radar cruise, agree on idiots but people that buy that car are usually enthusiasts for the most part that pay attention to these things. But i understand what you and general motors mean.

I was under the impression to run E85 on top of the $5k or so for fuel system upgrade, the cam would also have to be replaced with one that allows more fuel in as well. Seems like a major investment to be able to run with a X3M thats running a $500 piggy back, $200 downpipe and fuel blend only...

Are there any aftermarket rotors available for the 5 BW? I know the 4 has gyrodiscs, was not able to find anything for the 5 however.

Same time you do a CAM to allow more fuel in. Otherwise you are limited to 750ish hp.

Driver mod for sure.

the peak numbers barely changed thats true. While the mid range gained over 100whp, and for me that is actually where i spend most of my time / start all my roll races so it is night and day. Car feels like it got a 50 shot put on compared to before and it pulls MUCH smoother, smoother then...

Oh this is great to hear, I can feel the drop off top of 4th after consecutive pulls in Mexico.

I plan on doing the heat exchanger and expansion tank over winter. Has there ever been any sort of conclusive results from upgrading the bricks?

Ported blower, smaller pulley, headers, more aggressive tune. I get initial power drop off and it stays steady on track for 20-30 mins, much more impressive then my prior C7 Z06 that got 20 mins at most then went into limp mode. After two track days with the blackwing I went back to...

On top of the upgraded fuel system you will also need either a meth kit or a cam to physically allow more fuel in.
