There is no build thread.

As mentioned, I had the original install done by a shop experienced modifying BMWs and nitrous installs. Since it was breaking new ground I wanted to be sure all safety factors were as they should be and I was maximizing gains. It was a good decision based on the involved testing the shop did get to the 150 shot. I was there most of the time so I am now comfortable doing upgrades or repairs even an install from scratch. There are a couple of pictures in my album of the initial configuration but none that are current.

I posted the dyno figures early on and got nothing but responses that I was exaggerating, paraphrased as it being a lie. Since then they have improved.

I'm hard enough on myself, not going to invite anyone else to contribute.

Yea I hear you on that. Why can we all just be mature.

I'm no expert on nitrous but is it just a plate that goes behind the throttle body or a fully plummed system? What shot are you running?

I know I'm thread jacking but I have a feeling the op has one post and he won't be retuning.

I would be interested in seeing how much the exhaust dumps increase dyno #s.

Thanks for all the replies guys especially bcredliner. Am still doing the research on what to do and also going to look into the nitrous option.

and yea well said no need to jump to that kind of conclusion just cause i live in Dubai.

Seeing i bought the car at an extremely good price though i have budgeted around 10k usd for mods. Just need to make sure the garage i go to knows exactly what they are doing (which out here unfortunately is pretty rare).

Again thanks for the input people.

Once I have done the timing chains I will do some dyno runs. Without the nitrous the results could be better without open exhaust since Dinan exhaust is already low restriction. I would expect improvement with nitrous.
