"Full Bolt On"F15/F16?
I'm curious to know if someone here has a full bolt on F15/F16. Is it even possible or are all the parts not made for our engine setup? From what I gather, "full bolt on" includes:
Tune Intake Charge pipe Intercooler Down pipe Exhaust I understand what the tune, intake, and exhaust does. Is the charge pipe to prevent the stock one from breaking under the increased turbo pressure? Or does it improve boost flow as well? Intercooler prevents the turbo from overheating, correct? Does it improve the air quality by making it cooler as well? What's the purpose of the down pipe? Does one brand make all the components for the F15/F16? Or do you have to piece a full bolt on from several sources? Last edited by AlpineOnCoral; 02-21-2018 at 01:08 PM.. Reason: Wasn't finished writing |

Intercooler doesnt'affect turbo since it's downstream of it, but cools air coming from turbo and air becomes more dense - and then it goes into engine - hence engine can produce more power with all else been equal. It won't increase top power, but it will allow engine to output max power longer (eventually most inter-coolers will heat-soak - just matter of time) |

Never heard of an intercooler change for N63TU as their not your typical air exchanger.

Yes, I should have been more specific. I do have a 35i and the question does pertain to N55. But it's a valid question for both platforms, correct?

What is your goal? A lot can be accomplished with just a tune/piggyback.
Supersprint has a lot of what you are looking for. These fuys might also: http://www.fi-exhaust.com/product/bmw/f16_x6_35i.html

I'm just trying to educate myself more than anything right now. I'm new to the BMW community and I'm learning alot reading these forums. The general threads are very informative about the N55 but most of that is 1-, 2-, 3- and 5- series. Especially 3-. I thought I'd ask about what's done/possible on the F15/F16 specifically (35i). |

They definitely do! I'm going to take a guess though that the price is outrageous!
I don't think there is going to be a single manuf that has the full list of bolt ons you're looking for. The aftermarket for F15/F16 is pretty weak. You'll have to do some piece mealing to get what you'd want. With that said, a lot of people are running some pretty serious tunes/piggybacks with stock intake/cooling/exhaust with no issues. For sound, many (including myself) get the MPE.

AlpineOnCoral , search for my mod thread.
I have most bolt-on stuff on my F15 sDrive35i. I can get most of them all together if you are interested.

since the 35i has the n55, and the intercoolers for the n55/n20/n26,etc. are all interchangeable. does that mean I could fit an aftermarket intercooler (say n55 evolution racewerkes) on my f15?

I have so many mods in mine, so unless you want to do the same, I need a list.

Great question! I r33_RGSport, I didn't see intercooler as one of your mods. Have you thought of doing that? |

Lease was over about a year ago. Current project is G30 540i. Couple of the mods on the F15 are not CARB approved. So, if you want them, you'll have to be ready for the hassle. FMIC wise, the owner of ER said that the F15/F16 X5/X6 already equipped with bigger FMIC. So no necessary for an upgrade.

That is for E9x N55 engine. Gain wise, you don't feel it without a tune. With a tune, less restrictive air intake helps. Supposedly, just using K&N drop in filter will do the same. Just some people prefer to have open air box to hear the turbo sound.
