Hey guys,
I might have just found a way to buy the PowerBox without having to break the wallet
I am not going to disclose it first coz I want to see it for myself (as in I'm going to be the guinea pig). Once everything is confirmed and I am sure that the PB can be bought at half the price, I'll let you know :top:

P.S: Keep your fingers crossed

Fingers crossed! :top:
Legs Crossed! :top:
Hair Crossed! :top:
Fuses crossed! :top:
Toes Crossed! :top:

I cross more I'll go bananas!!! :stupid:

Any tests done on 525?

No Lah.. That's the only video I could find in YouTube bro!
But I heard that you should be able to feel the difference once you install PB

*anxiously waiting*

 

[thule]

It seems that everyone is still waiting for my report
Bro, it might take a while but I promise that as soon as everything's confirmed, you all are the first to know :top:
I had installed the Breyton Race GTS yesterday afternoon! Now I simply love my ride! But still need to sort out some issue pertaining the noise made while driving!

 

[AC525]

anyone tried electric cutouts for exhaust for our cars before? electric operated valves on add on valves on exhaust after extractor to bypass muffler and let exhaust gases escape from the centre of the car??? wondering how many inch is 525LCi exhaust diameter... single or twin pipes??

Bro thule... you from putra Heights arr? Saw one M-spec there with GTS.. looks hot!!!!!

Good find, is this Powerbox gonna do damage to our engine in long term since it squeezes the engine to the max? 25hp seems a lot from this little thingy..

LOL! No lah... me from PJ was the one that you saw with 19"??? Coz I don't see many E60 with 18"... nobody is as kiam siap as me here I'm concern on long term maintenance and long distance driving. With 19" the ride will start to become uncomfortable!

Don't think so lah bro... with existing N52 engine for 525.. it only brings out max approx. 10bhp and about the same for the torque. If BMW engine cannot withstand this increase, they can pack their bag and head back to Germany loh :thefinger:

So the advertisement by Boss Msport in SG is bullshiting all about this...325 were dyno with gain 25hp 25nm torque... Which is impressive!

Still no update on the PB?

 

[Spaceman]

Tried the PB, its addictive. Right foot became heavy nowadays...

Yesterday evening I just installed a 3 months old 2nd hand PB at Boss Motors SG on my 523 for S$800 nett. Got it from a BM SG forumer who replaced his N52 engine.

I have to say that the difference is pretty big to be felt as i drive home: engine torque is even throughout revs and gear changes are smoother. No more power lag. Can feel my car performance become more robust. Definitely feels better than a 525 (no PB) which i test drove. When i tap on the gas, the response is immediate and can feel more power on tap. All this is for normal city road driving. Have to check out the expressway performance.

Definitely have to agree with other SG forumers that this is the most worthwhile mod to date.

Be careful if u are considering online purchases as as USA models are not for Asia cars. Boss Motors' version is specially programmed for hot humid ASEAN weather.
