Kratos in the 9 sec?

[xMegaMan]

Awesome ,thank you very much for the insightful information. I'll be reaching out to you guys here shortly in the next few weeks to order.

So in regards to the two different types turbos you guys offer (KRAS55Bi-1) / (KRAS55bi-2) the difference besides one having a titanium compressor wheel?

Not to come across as a prick but you're saying with a proper tune roughly 800hp/670tq is safe on a stock motor, drive shaft and clutches for a daily ?

What tune would you guys recommend or seen the most success ?

Also by chance do you have that users name or social media to use a reference ?

It's no problem at all and we're glad the information we provided was able to give you better insight on our turbo systems!

Regarding the different turbo versions we offer for the S55, there are 3 different versions we've released KRAS55Bi, KRAS55Ti, and KRAS55EVO. Here is a link we posted a while back which explains the differences between the Bi and Ti models.
https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1600613

Our KRAS55EVO is our latest version that replaced our previous KRAS55Bi model. This is also a forged billet compressor wheel option, however it utilizes our newly designed larger and higher flowing compressor and turbine wheel combination. This combination provides an increased adiabatic efficiency over the previous Bi model while at the same time operating at a lower shaft speed. The results is even more power capability on tap with increased reliability as a result of the lower operating shaft speeds.

When modifying your car to these types of power levels, the word "safe" isn't a term we would normally use as part of the discussion. Anytime a performance modification is performed to your vehicle there is always a risk involved. So, there are definitely risks involved when increasing your stock power level to over double what it produces from factory on the stock engine. However, the key is to perform the correct modifications and acquire a quality tune that helps increase reliability and minimize risk. We simply provide our customers the recipe and the results for what we know is proven and has worked over the years with great success. It's up to the customer to understand the risks versus the rewards before making a decision to move forward with modifying their vehicles to achieve these types of power goals on stock engines. Also, when it comes to the drivetrain modifications such as axles and clutches, we always recommend upgrading if you have the ability to do so.

As far as who tuned this car to produce these type of results, it was tuned by Halim@HCP. He is very knowledgeable in terms of his tuning experience as well as his experience with tuning with our turbo systems. Halim's personal S55 had our KRAS55Bi's installed which he then upgraded to our KRAS55EVO's and is what he is currently running. However, there are other reputable tuners for the S55 platform that can definitely help you meet your goals. Your best bet is to do your research before making a decision.


This particular car belongs to one of our staff members and is his daily driver. Here is a video clip of the car on the dyno producing 812whp on the stock engine.

Like Kratos mentioned…you tuner can limit early TQ to keep a stock motor happy, and more driveable.

Now this is the type of quality customer service we need from brands!! Again Sales@KRATOS Wow thats super impressive to be running that much power. This is getting me super excited to start this enduring journey. Thank you so much this definitely helped clarify some things. Im picking up what your putting down but I completely agree with you and TopJimmy that I need to research a bit more to have a better informed decision. None the less at this point your product is without a question going to be part of it. Thank you too

Hi mates,

this is to tell the end of a nightmare.

I faced all the unlucky possible events.

Now I ruined my bank account but I suppose to complete the story next 20 days.

I destroied conneting rod piston 2 unlikely.

Now: I had: dorch gas stage 2, eventuri intake, okay coils, akrapovic skat, kratos turbo, mishimoto all cooling, I purchased as last option Carrillo pistons and connecting rods, I am playing now stage 4, also purchased BM3 methanol injection plus overboots.
Dodson sport clutch.

Expecting much above 1000 ,.... Inshallah we'll see.


I ll keep you posted

toyo r888r of course

Back to the 9.99sec 1/4mi dragstrip goal…
Kratos EVOs and Paul's Sauce got me down to 10.06 and then I had a rear kick out which took me into the wall. We had more tuning revisions to go so The Nines are definitely within reach on these turbos.

I've acquired another F82 and will move over the drivetrain to keep going. Kratos FTW!

Sorry, I was always logging my runs with BM3 so I couldn't Dragy at the same time. I was running 168.91MPH through the 1/3mi traps at Pocono on day 2 of MPACT East. That was #3 BMW over both days.

Huh. Curious, is that a BM3 limitation?

I typically datalog, run Dragy, and V1 Driver, all simultaneously.

No, I just get too nervous to concentrate on both (or all three in your case).

Sorry to hear of the accident, hope you didn’t get hurt and glad to hear you’re getting into another F82!

What tire did you run? You have a low 9 if you got those 60’ down?

Hoosier DR2 315/30/18. With so much power it was hard to get faster than a 1.7 sixty foot.

Please dear Halim. I m ready.thanks

Translated from PC Company speech, the typical f8x owner (even the big turbo guys) know dick about drag racing and assume the car was not meant for it because ThEY CanT geT TrAcTioN.

The truth is the chassis is capable of going 9s with a true 650whp. It just takes weight reduction, some bracing tweaks, a 17" conversion for a real radial and people that are semi-experienced with making track cars being able to transfer weight in a DCT.

Who really gives a shit about 1/4 mile times in the real world? Unless you’re a pro racer specializing in 1/4 drags on non drag cars, then you shouldn’t give a shit lol
