the best video that could've dropped on my birthday love the content keep it up

100-200 km/h should be faster when using gears 3-4-5. You‘ll surely make it into the 5‘s 😉

I would love to see 1/4 mile and 0-60 dragy times for this and maybe other fuel mixes. Great content as always. thanks bro! 🙏🔥

I have a 6 speed 2018 340i on MHD stage 2 tu hpfp (catless dp + TU hpfp + Ross Racing PCV breather). I currently see a limit when I launch in first gear. Depending on the rpm at launch my clutch is slipping (even though I never fully dump the clutch it just feels like it's not gripping). So I'm thinking my next upgrade is the 550i clutch kit.

Also, great video! Crazy power 🔥

😮 the whp/ torque is awesome
Great tuning and that turbo is very impressive
60-130 🔥

Thanks for your insights. So 8 seconds flat with 93 pump gas and 6 seconds flat with E85. Sounds familiar to me with almost the same setup except the upgraded camshaft and 102 RON resulting in 6.5-7.0 seconds. Thank god ethanol is available at your gas stations.

Definitely need to get B58 next … hopefully M340s start going down in the next 2 years or so

That’s around where I’m @ 620hp/580tq awd manual

Great video to benchmark my own build that is very similar. DAW UF X, spool fx-200 just waiting for my mhd flex fuel kit to come in this week. Pump gas just does not make much power with these mods.

Another great video Kevin
I'm in Johnstown Ohio, would you recommend Eurocharge. I haven't searched tuners yet but hoping to be in position to need one next year.

Amazing results! I want to point something out regarding S58, an S58 g87 on stock turbos with a downpipe and OTS is doing high 5's 100-200 on pump gas 100 oct.

AFE part # aFe 21-90069M fits AP/VR intakes and are very cheap (comes with 2 filter) no issues on my 6MT e40 B58

Interested to see what your 1/4 mile numbers are with this set up.

[techbutter]

Great video. How many tune revisions in total did you go through from start to finish.

[gwspom]

Wouldn‘t the power figures be even higher with E40 than E85?

[TankQ]

Surprised at those times with the turbo and cam tbh. Expected mid to high 5s

[edwardwerley]

Great info as always!

Would u consider adding methanol just for AIT cooling and a fuel additive? Thx

[mnut]

Great numbers Kern. Were you at full boost as you passed 60mph? It sounded like it was still building boost to me, so potentially quite easy to reduce those times. Also is the car running a bov?Sounded very different to my stock turbo when shutting throttle.

[rayaany.]

Hey kern, at what hp rating do you think we should upgrade our 8hp50’s?

[Kh.J.]

You need to do weight reduction as 6.0 100/200 not bad but for 640WHP should be in 5.8 at least
