Next Mods on 435? I NEED SPEED!

bmwfanatic92 · 02-11-2019, 01:29 PM

Need recommendations for next performance upgrades. Recently did AA tune, VRSF downpipe, AA CP & FMIC. I still have a third party warranty so don't want to get TOO carried away. But i'm open for recommendations. Want to keep it on 93 octane.

I briefly just looked it up. Sorry, I'm new to this but try to ask as few dumb questions as I can. Is it a new turbo or are they just doing something to the one that currently there? On the Extreme Powerhouse website it showed 435's with 525+ hp. Is that alright long term for the engine if I'm using it as a daily driver? I drive moderately 50% of the time

you can still run AA tune but custom tune is recommended.. as for the ps2 it used oem turbo manifold with oem turbo with a bigger compressor wheel.

I’m really interested in the ps2 but really wanna know how the transmission would hold up. I have a 15’ 435i and I don’t drive aggressively 24/7 All I see for answers are very old posts and I honestly want to know if my automatic can handle that sort of torque gain for atleast the remainder of the time I own it with regular maintenance. I plan on keeping the car for atleast another 3-4 years.

Is the AA "tune" a piggyback device or a flash tune?

These transmissions are pretty beefy since these cars come with a good amount of torque already. 500/500 HP/TQ is a good figure before you really start abusing them. Keep in mind, the amount of abuse (racing, launching, ETC) will factor in.

For your typical person who commutes 90+% it's fine.

Tranny should hold without issue unless you go crazy with the boost / Meth / E85 on the new turbos.
