Chargepipe is the same P/Nand yes, there was a long post on this board about a few members blowing theirs, including the updated OEM version.

I came from a big turbo n54 335i to the n55 m2 and to be completely honest the m2 won’t be as fast mod for mod but you gain huge reliability from the n55. I went a bit out for my m2 because I love chasing power. So my current setup that I have is
Arm intercooler Eventuri v2 intake Vrsf charge pipe Mpe exhaust Arm dp Boost pipe b58 tu pump 3.5 map sensor Csf radiator Precision race works coils Ngk colder plugs I have a pure 750 and a meth kit going in soon To be honest for the amount of money I spent on the car it’s has good enough gains I’m expecting a lot more on a hybrid That being said tho I am going to do all the safety precautions that are weak points on this motor like the crank hub because it’s the same from the s55 also going to do the rod bearings. Eventually I plain on closing the deck and swapping the rods and pistons but not anytime soon I want to enjoy my little hybrid for now. I know what I’m doing extra but I like to have a different kind of build on any car. Another note is as do some suspension work to this car. As much as im a speed junky I love my backroad runs. The stock suspension is alright but when I did some work on them the car handled like a different car. My dad has a 992 4s and I can alsomst take the corners as fast as he can… but ofc the m2 doesn’t really compare to a porche but I love the m2. My advice is enjoy the car stock just for a bit to get a feel of the car and how it is stock so when you start to throw stuff on you can see a difference and appreciate the work. |

I would look into a diverter valve and a turbo inlet. For the radiator, go back to Stock or DO88 - the CSF is a downgrade on the F series car.

Wait I didn’t know that I thought a csf would be a upgrade to the stock one is this actually confirmed that car runs worse ??
Also I have a turbo smart for the hybrid so I’ll be good on that. |

Yeah, by a few members and I spoke to a race team (multiple 1st place Championship finishes) and they confirmed the same. CSF = Junk.

With pure750 added, b58 TU pump could be not enough

He should talk to M2guru and VGSON as to what they are shooting for powerwise and what you will need.

I don’t think it’s as good as Dorch stage 1,but either way Dorch stage1 is also not enough.

your modded 135 as is slightly faster than a stock m2. The m2 has plenty of power down low even though its a single turbo. Power under the curve is nice from OTS tunes. May feel it, but custom is the best choice. If you don't street race people, the f87 is plenty of fun at this power level. Its meant for a track with turns though. I got my f87 cause I love the 1M and this is about as close as bmw has come to remaking it. FBO is not that expensive: dry drop in air filter, charge pipe,, DP, and ots tune could be done for really close to 1k. Power under curve changes more than uptop. I have a dryfilter and catted DP for sale if you want it. |

He's also going with meth so maybe(?)...he'll likely not reach max potential of turbo, but would still have plenty of power on tap. 500+

Ethanol sensor *This is my opinion but it’s your choice The idea of going hybrid is to keep things simple and OEM+. Why go PI when DI is so capable.

really depends on your power goals and what type of fuel you’re going to use.
Max out the b58 pump first, then decide(?) More E = more fuel volume… One of the tuners explained the DI will make more power than port(fuel dispalces oxygen). just a lil more $$ for DI setup. |

For awhile, I was feeling pretty paranoid about CA smog inspectors flagging an aftermarket charge pipe during visual inspection. I think I’m mostly over that paranoia now and have resolved to replace my OEM stock pipe at some point. I hear it’s a bear of a job, so I’m not particularly looking forward to it. At any rate, I started a poll for CA owners to see what their experience has been regarding aftermarket charge pipes and smog inspections: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1997150 |

Didn’t say that it never happens. Just that it is rare on the OG M2s.
