Bolt-ons to make N18 more high-rpm-happy? (Keep torque up to the end)
Hi, I am grabbing parts to make my 2011 R56S more mid-high speed track biased,
Need some info/advice what to buy...
having 3 years of driving(incl. tracks/auto-x) on N18,
I know stock N18 tends to go sluggish after 5500~6000rpm especially when the temperature is warm/hot..
I got a cat-back, and it seems the exhaust moved the torque zone a little to higher side, but not enough.. I like mini's low end torque, but that's useless at track...:(
What else I can try? I basically want to avoid ecu flash tune for now.
I am planning to buy forge intercooler... DoS intake is coming...
But should I try DP as well?
OR,,, Are bolt-on parts not that effective to get high-rpm torque? Should I just live as is and get ecu tuned later???
I know I can always shift up early @6000 as this guy is doing on the Ring, but then why there is 6500 red line? not just 6000?
