Yes, I have high hopes. Guess the layout of the exhaust is different in the 125. Have not looked into it. But haveing a similar pipe dim as 118 / 125 was the aim. Think 2,5" will do. Not sure aboute intercooler yet, any tips?
Will be "mind fuck" to go 102 to 218 ich over a weekend! Where can I get m-sport brakes.. |

M brakes you get from the dealer. They need some coding as well.

Don`t think intercooler will do any harm either way, just pros. Just if it is worth the spending.. as im just driving on public roads. |

M135i intercoolers (or even M135i Upgrade coolers) look like they could be a straight bolt-on fit which would never be detected in any periodic Control, and of course Cold air is always better.
118i pre-cat exhaust will also only do good, as well as an oil cooler from 118i. When I say I know i should stay away from further tuning it is because i have been Down that road before on several Nissan S14's and it's always expensive, since I end up using way too much Money on the cars, making it funnier but less of a daily driver. |

This is encouraging for anyone considering the 116i. Doesn't seem like a bad car out of the box according to the dyno. Can you imagine a remap? That would be ungodly gains!

An update for those who are interested..
Have driven my tuned car for some months now. (218 hp ECU + 2,5" Milltek cat-back, resonated). It is mad how this car changed! From 102hp is was a given that it would, but in this way. The switch from 95 to 98 ron was also significant. DSC off... In the wet; I can drift a bit in roundabouts and when full on giving it a flick in 3rd the rear lets off some drift. Potent! It pulls all the way. Got the dyno papers from ESS on this, and I believe them. Think this one could have followed my previous Astra OPC 240 hp quite far up the road. Bonus, milage as gone a bit down if behaving. Tempting to continue with de-cat downpipe and intercooler. But.. coilovers and summer rims are on the top of the list. |
