DCT so N55 car?

The first DCT's were N54.

09 was certainly a N54, regardless of box. I think downpipes, intercooler and a map will get close to those figures, but still seems very strong.

Yep, I too had a 2009 N54 coupe with DCT. First DCT's I ever saw were on a 58 plate.

The car in question, in the earlier post, was dyno'd well over 400 bhp October last year.
" it made 455bhp and 485lbs/ft."

Thanks Smuler

Its def N54 lol.

I bought it with all the performance mods, except the custom tune. It was running a Stage 2+ map on MHD and previous owner had it dyno'd at 407bhp/500lbs/ft. It was pretty quick then to be honest. I went to santa pod in it and managed a 12.9 @113mph. Then went again after the custom map and did a 12.6 @116 with a terrible 2.4 60ft. Ive since sorted a boost leak with uprated Diverter valves, and got new wheels tyres and tracking, so with a good launch im sure it will do low 12's. It was a little snakey on the back end before....

Ive timed it with my dragy box which I got last week and did 4.3 to 60mph and 12.3 1/4 in the damp.

450bhp is pretty common place with all the supporting mods and a good tune. I got a guy from the states to do mine who's really familiar with the DCT box and well regarded on N54tech.

WIlling to take anyone for a spin closeby :P

460bhp with a remap!?

Do you mean 360?

Not just a remap mate, Full supporting mods.

For reference I think the turbo's run at 8PSI standard for 300bhp. Im at around 19psi, with a little headroom left. Tapers down nicely to about 14psi.

Fair play mate!! I'm itching to see what I can get out of my 435 - I'm told it's around 360 with JB4. Wish I had 460!

Id imagine once tuners start unlocking them more and learning more, they will be awesome for tuning.

Thanks AB.

Well it’s mine pending collection on Wednesday! Will have to change my PH name!

Very nice. No rust as stated?

A stone chip on the rear arch that has a tiny amount, literally half a centimetre, and a couple of little marks on a front front arch. They were replaced a few years back but one is chipping a little bit. Overall for an E46 it’s really nice. Might need a thermostat as the temp gauge doesn’t quite make half way. What I liked was the guy was completely honest about the car and it happens he’s good mates coincidentally with one of my mechanic mates, who sung his praises. Lots of history and not an automatic! Couple of sleepless nights coming up till collection!

[sparks_E46]

Well it’s lovely! Temperature gauge hovers around a third of the way up and only really reaches 12 o Clock in traffic so having it done at the weekend. A very tiny amount of corrosion to the passenger rear arch but should be able to get it repaired to keep it at bay for a couple of years relatively cheaply. Overall selling my other car I’ve paid £1700 for it and the plate might be worth a few quid too. Perfect first drive through North Dorset.

Those wheels are great. I had them on my silver E46, and they were one of my favourite things about the car. They can look a bit fussy paired with a contrasting paint colour, I think, but with silver they blend right in.

Passed its MOT yesterday, not bad looking for an 11 year old car!

Regret selling my OEM 20" 373M for 19" 408M already..
