Re: After Mkt Turbo / Oil Catch Tank
Hi Kenn,
i not really good in despcription especially in technical terms. Well, i will just give simple description:
The N54 turbo upgrade consist of 2 turbos (including the upgraded manifolds and actuators) done up by Owen developements. Can see the difference if you placed the stock ones side by side.
Tuning was done by Rhommel after the installation. (Not too sure which program though, not JB4)
Results were not too bad, the car with already a upgraded intercooler, downpipes, mid pipes,SS exhaust and gruppe M intake has manage to achieved close to about 400WHP or 440BHP @ slightly below 1.2 bar of boost as per claimed by J4C on the dyno charts. Been running with it for about close to 2 months without any fault indications thus far.
I was easily satisfied as the response of the car has improved quite a far bit on the low end and top end. Was able to feel the push of the car much longer (up to 6k rpm) when gunning it.
Hope the brief description is able to help the bros here who is interested in the upgrade.
Cheers

Re: After Mkt Turbo / Oil Catch Tank
Well, for the FC, i did not feel the increase pretty much as in Singapore i do not have the chance to gun as much. It stays pretty the same. I did not do anything on the injector nor the fuel pump part of it as the turbo upgrade is not the typical hardcore ones. Probably u may want to check with Amos on the technical part of the upgrade.

Re: After Mkt Turbo / Oil Catch Tank
Hey Kenn, sad to say, i have thrown away the dyno charts after the upgrade a few months later. I have check with J4C after reading a few post on turbo upgrade at the bimmerboost forum. They have mentioned a few different types of upgrade like Rob Beck Turbos and some others. J4C came back to me with Owens. Not too sure if the upgraded turbo have a lot of difference in appearance, but comparing them side by side, there is a slight difference. The original turbos are kept with me after the upgrade.
I will post the dyno charts probably after another dyno session with Rhommel. But for sure, my drive is definitely coupled with a 'power' experience for me.
