B C Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Drop a few psi on the rear tires and flip the air cleaner cover upside down on a jb4 335i (map9) and you could probably hit those speeds. just sayin. That is a neat hood. love the updates Jake 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are much faster cars that go down the strip with only 1 hand on the wheel. Having to shift every 2 seconds makes the transition annoying. However, after 140mph, 2 hands is a must 12 hours ago, B C said: Drop a few psi on the rear tires and flip the air cleaner cover upside down on a jb4 335i (map9) and you could probably hit those speeds. just sayin.

suspenceful Posted June 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 If you haven't already noticed, YouTube and Instagram are where I post most of my content. If you aren't already subscribed/following there, you're missing out That being said, I have exciting news I want to share! I know Brian already posted a thread congratulating me, but it makes sense to share it here too. First pass on 20psi ran an 11.29 @ 128mph with a 1.94 60ft. Second pass on 25psi ran a 10.53 @ 137mph with a 1.73 60ft.Third pass on 28psi ran a 10.36 @ 134mph with a 1.59 60ft. Log: https://datazap.me/u/suspenceful/1036-13409mph?log=0&data=1-3-4-11-25-26-27-28-29 I actually set a record on my 3rd pass with the 10.36 ET! Currently the fastest manual trans N5X BMW with stock chassis. Ghassan Automotive went 9.6 but they have a custom back-halfed chassis. I think I can run 9's as I was misfiring during my 10.36 pass, watch the video! SteelBlue and jc43089 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelBlue Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 To think this could have been the 87 325is on stock tires that was gonna run 9's against @GunMetalGrey's car like we talked about. I still can't believe those rears fit in the stock arches. suspenceful and GunMetalGrey 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted December 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I've had a few people reach out to me asking to check back into WIBimmers... and I realized it's been way too long since I've updated this thread. So much has happened since my last update a year and a half ago. My Instagram and YouTube channel are where I post most of my content. Be sure to follow/subscribe if you're interested in keeping up with my BMW builds! I'm currently in talks with Billiam Mason (BMB Autowerks) about a built engine. The 135i engine is finally ticking/knocking internally after all of the 750+whp abuse. My goal is to get something that can handle 900whp and maaaaaybe throw a bigger turbo on it. He recommended a 6875 Gen 2. Here are a few pictures/videos to enjoy. REKIII, pynacl, Jdesign and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suspenceful Posted December 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2022 Hot off the press, here's what we found inside the engine. As much as I’d love to build it right, my budget just doesn’t allow for that. On this self-employed journey, every dollar counts! Off to the junkyard to find another stock motor… KaiserRolls, Jdesign and damnboy037 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much they cost, but I'll be sticking with an N54 for this. But I would like to build a B58 car one day. damnboy037 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobZR Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Nice work on the channel. Looks like you found the 1st failure mode(internal) on the N54. Now slap in some H-beam rods in the next one and find out where is the next failure mode.😁 I'd say the N54 is living up to the hype of "the German 2JZ". 800+whp on a stock motor that was 250ish stock.

Thanks! It's crazy what this thing handled. I'm going to keep this engine to build over time, and get a stock, unopened N54 from a junkyard or something to get it back on the road for spring.

suspenceful Posted February 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 It's been a little while, but I've got some updates... The oil analysis results on the 135i engine came back, they said everything looked great. Clearly, it did not. Waste of $$$. I bought a 335i from Florida for $3,500, sight unseen. Plan was to pull the motor from it, and use it in the 135i, then LS swap this cheap 335i. It came with tons of aftermarket parts, but needed some work. I wanted to get it driving and put it through it's paces so I knew the motor was good. And in doing that, I realized it rips! Transmission doesn't hold the power in 5th or 6th gear, but I was pleasantly impressed up to 130mph+. After giving it a little TLC, it's almost too nice of a car to rip apart lol. That's if this engine is still good after this beat run... Jdesign 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suspenceful Posted March 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 I think it's safe to say I have a problem at this point. Is there a # of BMWs one must own at the same time for it to be classified as an addiction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
