at this exact point was when i knew i needed to step my game up to get my f10 on some good vibes and ready to be called a proper sleeper... i appreciate all the things you have shared and your willingness to help when i reached out personally. thanks for your time and energy and keep the good content coming

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Glad I could help!

[@julianjamison1]

grant, i gotta say man, i am in love with the look and the sound of your f10. i got my own stock 2011 f10 535i and im about to mod the crap out of it lol. ive been doing maintenance but im almost all caught up and ready to mod!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

That’s awesome! Let me know if you have any questions and keep me posted on the mods.

Just from a tune and fbo no upgraded turbo that's good numbers. I'm surprised he didn't have the hood open to exhaust the heat from the engine bay. Other then that good stuff man!!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah, not a bad idea.

[@JIPortillo]

Im liking the beefy tire look. It suits the car well. I would choose wheels that would match the thicker tires, but I like the look!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I’m actually trying to figure out what I want to do about wheels. I may sell my other set and go wider. Actually even considered some X5 wheels. They are 20x10 & 20x11, but considerably heavier.

Brother you should look into sheunk turbo, David is doing some work with them and they’re getting great numbers compared to some other turbos.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@@NotJooob That's the plan. I have been in contact with the owner. The full name of the company is Shuenk/FrankenTurbo. I think in the video I just referred to them as FrankenTurbo.

[@NotJooob]

Killing it with that beast!!!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Thanks bro!!!

[@paddoqclub]

Nice work! That’s about what I was getting with a PS2. As soon as I got my Helix OD and increased fueling I crossed the 420whp range. More fuel is your friend. 500+ wtq is a dangerous place for the trans. On my manual with a stage 2 spec clutch and a single mass, it held but last about 2 years. David Shoup is the man to clear 400+ whp

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah, I’m looking into a Transmission solenoid& seal kit know, because of my mileage. Not sure what I will need to do, when I get the new turbo and start pushing into the 650whp range.

[@jeffa.8976]

I just converted the numbers. That's 441 brake H.P and 600 ft lbs of crank torque.

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Awesome! Yeah, it’s a lot more than that now. Hope to be back on the dyno in a few weeks.

[@chrisknight3681]

Well I’ve been modding mine almost since I got it a bit over 2 years ago. I changed from mhd’s previous n55 tune to the newest revision and I seem to have developed some sort of stutter. Misfire maybe but I did coils and plugs. When it started all I did was update the tune to latest version and this started. I ordered new coils to do again with hopes one is going out and only happens when in the boost or top end. Any ideas besides coils? New ones will be here tomorrow for a Saturday install. Thanks and keep it up. Love the Chanel

[@turbospool]

Beast!!!!

[@rafaluiz1679]

A custom tune would make you hit 400+hp and more HP on redline, i ditched my jb4 after it dumped more boost when the car entered check engine light and half power...

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I have a custom tune from David Shoup. I ditched the JB4 around a year ago.

[@rook2043]

Rafael, also ditched jb4 was also having check engine light. Mhd is worth it!

[@tyronehernandez9962]

I went with bootmod3. I hope I'm not disappointed.

[@bearsfandamn]

Hey Grant, another great video bro! Question, when on the Dino do you pull in third gear? I’ve heard third and fourth?

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

All my pulls were in 5th gear.

[@Medal6]

You need to ditch the JB4 man, get a MHD Stage 2+ tune and you’ll 100% achieve the 400+ Hp benchmark

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I ditched the JB4 over a year ago. I’m running a custom tune by David Shoup. Also, if you see the end of the video, I am confident in ram air conditions I am at the 400hp mark. Next will be turbo upgrade.

[@ilvesman]

Very nice result dude! Is it WHP/WTQ or adjusted ones? From a F10 535i PWG car?

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

These were numbers at the wheels on the Dyno jet.

[@rook2043]

Baby snail!!😂😂 Crazy on the torque. I was looking at pure turbos for a stage 2. What company were you looking at again? Awesome vid!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

FrankenTurbo. Apparently they are big with N54’s. Send me a message on Facebook messenger and I’ll get you an invite to the Facebook page.

[@ksmgaming9146]

I’m looking at Vargas GC

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@@ksmgaming9146 why Vargas?

[@ksmgaming9146]

@@JohnsonMotorsports because the whp numbers are better than the pure stage 2, I have the Vargas stage 1 right now and no problems with it

[@XxTrickFlowxX]

Wow amazing numbers ! Both of the cars are PWG right ? If so I’m sure the EWG will add 30+ HP and be able to reach 400WHP!

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Yeah, both are PWG. Yeah, the EWG should get you more. Plus like I said in the video, you actually get more power with the car moving because of the ram air.

[@Kickrocks1234]

@@JohnsonMotorsports lmao !!!!!!!!! Ram air ? On a FI car, lol

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@@Kickrocks1234 Yeah, the intake filter location helps force air into the turbo inlet. After the intake install my data logs were showing roughly a 15% reduction in Wastegate % and on highway pulls I get more MAF g/s.

[@PapiAndrey]

@@JohnsonMotorsports that’s impressive for a pwg, I’ve heard that the f10 pwg turbo is even smaller than the f30 pwg turbo. I’ve seen an f10 ewg make over 400whp on the stock turbo and 93 octane, but it did have a Dorch stage 1 fuel pump and those cost as much as a larger turbo

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

@@PapiAndrey Yeah, I’m pretty sure this turbo is smaller. Should get really spicy with the turbo upgrade coming soon.

[@BMWMPERFOMANCE]

You need to straight piped it. It will get more power

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

Too loud at my old age. 😂 Plus I’m well beyond that power at this point. I installed a FrankenTurbo F55 last year. Hope to hit the dyno soon, should be around 600 whp.

[@cloverscollect]

hey grant if you dont mind just quickly explaining.. do you believe the 500 or so tq came from either the addition of cutouts the lpfp or do you think it was just the custom tune itself that made the difference.. most dont post custom tune dyno numbers so everyone has the idea that by going fbo and stage 2 with jb4 mhd or bm3 can get 400 hp and 400 tq or so, just wanted to ask your opinion thanks man

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

In my opinion, it’s a combination of the custom tune, E50 and supporting mods.

[@bearsfandamn]

Do you have any fueling mods? HPFP or LPFP? Wondering if they would be worth the $ and how much they would increase power/torque

[@JohnsonMotorsports]

I have a WALBRO 450 lpfp. My hpfp is the early N55 stock unit that was a carryover from the N54. It is the plunger style hpfp and I’ve been told is good for 100% E85.

[@2stocke9x]

You can, but the amount of E85 you can use will depend on your model year. I have an early model n55, produced in 2010. It has the n54 style hpfp which can flow enough for full e85. Newer n55’s have a different hpfp that will cap out around E50, maybe less.
