Upgraded turbo's are 600+ whp (I recall the record being somewhere above 720rwhp). Basically, they have potential even with stock turbo's. I also recall reading about one with upgraded/larger diameter turbo inlet pipes that were in the 520whp area, but I can't find the article anymore. Learned from experience :)450 bhp? that was back in 2008 :) Now the world records are 500+ whp. If you both start 3-4k their torque will have them in front and they will stay there. Start r in whatever gear allows you to begin at 5000rpm+ if you're a Dsg and you know you have them on the shift. Learned from experience :)Įdit: if you are racing a 335 N54 and you're stage 2. They would truly be animals if they had a Dct.Įdit: if you are racing a 335 N54 and you're stage 2. But on pump they are way more tame.Įither way it's a great engine in stock form. But they will make more than 400whp on meth/e85 on a Mustang pushed hard. The dyno numbers are a little suspect, as BMW owners love dynojets. The difference is that with the 3.0L, direct injection and the fact the engine is a I6 with good gas (racegas) or meth or especially e85 they can run a ridiculous amount of timing and reach MBT very easily. The turbochargers on the N54 are not very large, basically 2.7T K04 size. Similar to the B5 S4 it makes a ton of torque throughout the rpm range and that really matters in a roll race. It has a much higher peaking and broader torque curve than a B8 S4. The N54 in stock form with bolt ons is a great highway racer.
