Horsepower Freaks to tune the N54

dlbrooks18 · 05-08-2009, 02:09 AM

Confirmed with HPF that they have decided to make the N54 their next tuning project. They are currently looking to pick up a 335 to start working on asap. This is turning out to be a real banner year for the N54.. Contact HPF if you want to be on their email/mailing list for more info as it becomes available. I can't wait to finally see what the real limits of our engine are. There are gonna be some scary fast 335's out there in the near future.

Im sure they'll come up with something as insane as a 600-700hp kit. I thought 500hp for our cars would be max.

Mahhvinn · 05-08-2009, 03:13 AM

this sounds like it's going to be a fun project. can't wait for updates!

i doubt stock engine can support 700hp. it may require rebuilding internals...

dude, why don't we have any aftermarket headers or cams yet?

I would imagine the Vanos system on the N54 is something that deviates people from doing such things... I've been wondering the same thing by the way.

Spydeputy · 05-08-2009, 05:24 AM

i haven't read it yet, but just got my new Roundel yesterday, and the
Active 600 hp is on the cover. i'm sure this will be an exciting read.

GQ 335i · 05-08-2009, 07:22 AM

Damn AMS and HPF tuning an N54, I just love having options.

Just read it. It's a supercharged E92 M3. 628hp at the flywheel. They 'turned it down' from 665HP!

Nice.

scheherazade · 05-08-2009, 10:05 AM

628 -> 665 is around 533 -> 565 at the wheels

Which puts the car in the power range of the ASR upgraded 335.

I was honestly hoping for a nice 1100 hp monster like has been done with previous Ms.

Interesting. Last time I spoke with them they said they had no intentions of doin anything w/ the N54

ridin135 · 05-08-2009, 10:18 AM

Is this just a tune or with this be upgraded turbos and etc? Either way I will guess I have to start saving up for the next decade for it.

do a search for horsepowerfreaks on google... this will be a big turbo upgrade

Malek@MRF · 05-08-2009, 11:00 AM

HPF doesn't do childsplay. If they are going to do something, it's going to be worthwhile for them, and worthwhile means power with no expenses spared.

vegasspeed · 05-08-2009, 11:01 AM

I did a search and didn't find anything. can you post a link if you found it?

jpsimon · 05-08-2009, 11:04 AM

i meant, for people who don't know who Horsepower Freaks are.. they should do a search just to see other stuff they've done.

vgame64 · 05-08-2009, 11:09 AM

This will be the end game for the 335i. I expect Stage 4 kits to push 800 whp.

vegasspeed · 05-08-2009, 11:14 AM

I just got an email from David Nguyen at HPF. He confirmed it. He said this just started up over there. They are working on a set of kits that will equal that of the E46 M3 turbo kit. That is some badass horsepower. I may wait this out to see what they do next.....interesting.
