pull off the vacuum pipe going to it and plug it.

The diesels often don't get the respect they deserve, because they have trouble competing in 1/4 mile times. However, it's funny seeing how many threads there are around on other forums about folks with 1/4 mile burners being embarassed by the 335d/535d in rolling starts! It's no surprise when you look at the torque numbers you are throwing down! Power may not be immediate, but I can only imagine how much fun it is when it does kick in! Great thread, and my hats off to the diesel tuners!

My car is non-lci so it has the ZF 6HP26. So far the gearbox is handling fine with the 625lb/ft. I found a guy that claim to have 715lb/ft in his 535d with the same gearbox without any problems.

I also found another guy that retrofit a 6HP28 in his 535d. He said that is actually quite easy and that these gearboxes can be found used in germany under €1000. He said that the gear changes improved alot.

Video is coming soon. In the meanwhile i found a cool pic of my car at the dyno:

Hi to all, dear Tiago would you say that your transmission is original? 850nm keeps the 6HP26 of 535d 272hp?

Tiago

The guy with 970nm has the 6HP26 original and he said that is holding fine...

In the worst scenario, with too much torque you will have the gearbox slipping gears. I would be more worried with the engine explosion than with gearbox.

You shuould be able to do 16s on the 0-200 (210 tacho): where is the video?

hello tiago expecting 100-200 in the video more if a 6HP26 keeps 970NM much NM maintains a 6HP28?

Tiago, did you replace any hoses with siliconic hoses?

Tiago

My car was also capable to make ~11s from 100-200kph back to the days that had 350hp in 2008. This was with +80hp from factory.


Now has +170hp from factory.

Don't know. I can only speak for my car and so far is holding fine 850nm.

If you are asking about intercooler hoses, it doesn't have rubber or silicone hoses. Instead, it has inox pipes with silicone connections. But you can see all the mods in my garage of this forum. Go with the link below my avatar.
