Anyone thinking about trying these? On a S55, they made 35whp near redline, which I think the N55 really needs. I think there would be some magic here with an turbo inlet - I have no desire for 400000000whp, but making a linear 350ish/whp that doesn’t drop off at redline would be ideal.

I love MILF’s and try them every time I can get my hands on one!

But seriously, what’s a MILV?

Lol, the MILF modification alters a piece of the valvetronic hardware which results in additional lift on the intake side of things and has been shown to increase top end horsepower.


It sounds promising but there is limited testing and reliability information in the research I’ve done

Lol!

I can tell already that’s i like this group haha.
But yeah, I had them on my E92 for 30k? No issues. It’s just a remachined OEM part that increases the rocker ratio (and subsequently Valve lift)

BPC blew their project car up, and the valve train was ok.

I’ll probably give it a shot here soon.

More info please!

What are you looking to learn?

Requires you remove the valve cover
Requires a specific tune that takes advantage of them.

Okay pizza 🍕 and 🍻

Anybody test these yet ?

What are the power gains ?

[AmuroRay]

Mine are sitting in my car pending install. I've been paying attention to my car less as I move towards getting hitched!
Priorities.

It's only been tested on cobra Marty's car, and he is the creator of these milvs. Also his car is an n52. Oh yeah and it was also tested on bpc's f8x m4.


The main gain isn't peak power, it's area under the curve which is actually quite significant. You also get a higher and longer intake valve lift allowing more air to get into the cylinders and as a result boost pressure drops meaning cooler iats. Don't panic though because boost is a result of air backing up in the charge pipes waiting to get into the engine, a decrease in boost as a result in more valve lift and duration doesn't decrease power it only decreases boost as more of that waiting air can get into the engine.

Very interesting

So no N55B30T0 M2's running this setup

Alright, I called the shop and they can do it. I'll have to find a day to drop the car off.

Question - do N55's need a complete valve cover replacement or can I get away with just doing the gasket? Mine is already leaking and I have the gasket, but I thought I read the entire cover should be replaced?

They will also be doing a intercooler install at the same time, because I don't have ramps/jacks to do it in the garage.

I just need to call Bob at StageFP and see if he can send me the revised tune. I was trying to do a before dyno, but there is no way this intercooler on the car can hold up to one or more 4th gear pulls. So I HAVE to change the intercooler.

Not to my knowledge.

I missed your post

Keep us posted please

You should only have to replace the valve cover if the pcv system is clogged or damaged, if your car is high mileage I'd consider replacing it.

I had my valvetronic system replaced twice and only needed a new valve cover gasket each time same valve cover.

I just turned over 100K miles! But I've never noted an issue with the PVC.

Yeah I'd change it for the peace of mind, because most of the hardware is single time use (which you're replacing during the milv install) so I wouldn't want to pay for the same hardware + gaskets later on down the road if the valve cover were to fail.

Ahh damn.

Anyone need a VC gasket?

[AmuroRay]

Called StageFP - Bob is on vacation, he'll get back next week. I can see if he can get me a file to try for these.

[AmuroRay]

Ordered a new valvecover (and a front bumper) - I have an aftermarket chargepipe (on the car), but I might grab a different one to ensure it mates with the intercooler AND that I can wrap in heat reflective tape.

thejeremyman9 was able to get his IATs within 5F of ambient by doing this.

So you're going to install them?! I want to do this badly but didn't want to dig into it without seeing anything on them. I'm very curious
