I am going to G-Tech my 335i when I am confident that everything is working properly - but would be interested to know if anyone has done it yet and what figures they got - whether they are close to B6 or H35 or 333i times.

Also my engine came from the UK and it has the oxygen sensor connector with a dummy plug on it. Did any run an O2 sensor? I am thinking of retro-fitting one - I am sure the engine will run better and more economically with one.

I did just that

Image

These are 3 1/4 times I did, there was a SERIOUS issue with getting it into 2nd but has been resolved now,
but I have yet to take more measurements from that time

Here is also a baseline plot against a turbo 325i (8psi) , M3 2.3 (a bit tired) , and the 335i (not tired at all)

Thers some confusing figures on there, like weight and what happened to the 0-60 figures in the second picture ?

My 335 touring weighs 1300kgs on a weigh bridge

Mine aint a 3.5 but it's comparable to the other e30 325i turbo I suppose...

This was on maybe 10psi with fooked suspension ( wheels rubbing at rear ), back road, potholes etc...

the second pic is a HP run i.e ease into second and mash it,
so not really a 0-60 graph,

also the car was weighed that when I took it out to measure,
it would be wrong to put in the actual weight as that would scew the results
