Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Modified BMW M140i

    Hi there, saw there's a section here to talk Beemers, so here's mine. AFAIK, to date, this is Australia's most powerful B58 engine. Here are the specs:

    2019 BMW M140i sunset orange
    Engine mods:
    Pure 800 turbocharger
    Stage 2 Dorch Engineering HPFP
    CSF charge cooler radiator heat exchanger
    BCS catted downpipe
    BCS mid pipe with Helmholtz resonator
    BMW MPE muffler
    FTP charge pipe
    AFE dry panel filter
    Custom tuned by David Shoup (USA) with E50 and 98 pump tunes

    Chassis:
    Bilstein B14 coilovers
    Millway camber strut tops
    M4 LCA's
    BMW chassis brace
    OS Giken plated LSD
    Hotchkis sway bars
    Whiteline Poly subframe bushes
    370mm M Performance brakes
    DBA 2 piece slotted front discs
    DBA 5000 2 piece slotted discs (F)
    DBA T3 slotted rear discs (R)
    Advan A052 tyres - 235/40R18 & 255/35R18
    OZ Racing Ultraleggera 8x18 & 9x18

    Body:
    3DDesign rear spoiler
    3DDesign style front splitter
    Black grill and mirrors
    Maxton side skirts
    AutoID rear diffuser

    To date it's made 403.5kw at the wheels on a Dyno Dynamics dyno. Essentially it scares the crap out of me with anything beyond 20 percent throttle. Wheelspin in 4th gear is 'interesting'. Plans are to run it down the quarter mile with a set of drag radials to hopefully run mid 10 seconds. Hope you enjoy the pics and feel free to ask any questions!
