I dont think you'll get 200hp+ without a fair bit of work on a 2.5.

2.7
cam
BBTB
6 branch

that should get you a fair bit over 200hp and torque

[silver325i]

i've been told that u can get 200bhp out of a 325i easy

6 branch
full system
a good chip
fse boost valve
and a air filter

that should get u near 200bhp

[Turbo-Brown]

A power boost valve will not help!
Someone posted a link to flow bench results from various filters the other day which proved that the standard air filter is best so that's no help either.

It's not easy to get 200hp out of a 2.5.

You would probably need.

6branch
megasquirt
cam
headwork
high comp pistons
6 individual tbs

im guessing that should get you 200hp out of a 2.5

errr no

oz,s car has 6branch,itg filter and BBtb and a remap and got 202bhp last week

so i think your full list max would well exceed the 200

also agree no fse coming near my car
if i want a bbq i,ll go to the garden

TURBO....


Nuff said

[silver325i]

so i was right then!!!

[tonyppe]

bbtb? whats that?

[dazleeds]

Dave i also have full stainless but i dnt believe there are any solid proven gains from this in fact it has been said in the past that many systems actually lose some power

tonyppe bbtb is big bore throttle body

[tonyppe]

oh yer lol
from like a 3.5 or something?

[dazleeds]

no its a standard 325 tb thats had the inside rebored for more flow and had a larger butterfly fabricated and fitted

by all accounts a very good mod on any 6pot
adds a few extra horses as well as getting more air into the mix

Daz id be interested to see what you settle on my cab is a 325 with a BBTB, 6branhc alpina, Full scorpion exhaust and a ITG zone filter.
I have recently found out it also has a uprated CAM.

I've considered the 2.7 upgrade but mines running so sweet at the moment and rapid it would seem a shame
