You're not doing any upgrades to it? Can it handle 700whp?

Why does it look like there's red high temp grease on the head gasket? I'd advise you to clean that off before you put the head on. That's an embossed MLS gasket and shouldn't need anything other than pristine sealing surfaces to work well.

It should handle the power, fingers crossed

but there is not much I could do, i'm planning on flashing it with XHP as soon as they release their flash and maybe install a custom oil cooler to try and keep the temps down if I find any issues.

Yes you are right that is high temp lube and it was all wiped off before the install

Bump!

Making good progress with Dfahmy

After some woes with sparkplugs ( he can fill in the gaps heh... sparkplug pun )we are now making good progress.

I made the recommendation to switch over to MHD since he has that available as there are additional logging channels which will help us dial in a more consistent compressor map for boost control without doing very many revisions.

So far it's working great. There's just so much headroom on this turbo it's insane.

We're currently at about 18psi peaking to 20psi with l2tq rescaled. 3rd gear peaks at about 18psi due to the 450nm torque limit.

I bought my car used with 100,000km, its 2013 BSM 335i and from then on i started my journey to build this car.

Here are my current mods:

Engine: JE forged pistons, Forged Carillo rods, upgraded King race bearings
Turbo: Bigboost stage 3.4 turbo kit
Fueling: MMP Port injection controlled with an AIC flash only controller, Fuel it's stage 3 LPFP, BMS wmi with dual CM5 nozzles
Tune: I am running a custom BM3 flash tuned by JWtuned cookiesowns and a JB4 as a meth controller
Other mods: Wagner Evo 2 competition FMIC, FTP chargepipe, AFE magnum cold air intake, Eisenmann Race catback

How anyone can do stuff like that always blows my mind. Amazing talent that shouldn't be taken for granted. Good job!
