You'll be close.

93 octane add that to your list.

Start with an x35 not an x28.

~370 whp
JB4
Catless downpipes
Charge pipe
Intercooler
Fuel it stage 2 kit
Intake

so around ~3000 full MSRP ( probably a lot less if you get a bundle deal)

Over 400 whp
you need to add a stage 1 pure turbo
an extra $995

over 500 whp
add a stage 2 pure turbo
extra $2500

Mike, regarding the stage 2 LPFP is it Compatible with the stock EWG turbo on ethanol mixtures around E25-E35?

I know it's an E85 certified unit but will the LPFP work on the stock turbo power capabilities on an E mix stated above?

Cheers.

I made 380 WHP with just an intake, downpipe, and JB4 on Map 5 running E30 fuel, the same setup I run daily. With a full exhaust system, I'm sure it would be closer to 390 WHP. 400 WHP has been done with the same mods with race fuel on Map 7.

This is all in reference to the 2014+ EWG cars.

Mike,

If I did a pure stage 2, how well does the trans handle 500rwhp?

On a auto...

Not many people are running that kind of power at this point. Its hard to find a definitive answer at this point.

I have 2014 f30 335i xdrive with catless exhaust, forge fmic and ecu-soft stage2 about 410 bhp (420 bhp with sport fuel). Waiting for oil cooler kit but without it the car is fine too. 0-100 km/h at 4.1 seconds and 100-200 in 10!

If you are interested in getting 400 Whp you have to use upgraded turbo and meth at first! Good luck

How come catless?Will a high flow cat melt or is it just to squeeze every last bit of power? I had catless on my last car but ended up switching to high flow cat because I hated the smell.

Catless will give you the most power, best sound for the lowest price.
Not sure what your other car was, but the smell is not that bad on this car.
You an also go with a catted DP option

But on a serious note you will need full bolt ons with either meth or E85 to get to the power, unless you want to do an upgraded turbo.

The simplest way would be JB4 with downpipes, FMIC, Intake and E85 mixed in. (about 3-4 Gallons or so to start)
