Can this be done with the e60 n52? Or is the clearance different?

I'm not too sure, but I would bet on it working. I would have to look at a 5 series engine bay, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

You'll figure it out. Once you start to understand basics, everything else comes easy. Just dont start with a full turbo kit. Do small stuff first and get better. When you do big hard jobs, the hardest part is starting it. All in all, it's not too hard or bad. Just take your time.

how on earth is this supposed to work? The ECU needs to be programmed with the right map and you need the intake feed back from the valves and the MAP sensor and the valves need to know when to open and close along with the throttle valve. The vanos need a different timing and the vlavetronic will also need ...OMG I dont see how this will work at all.
@Moon-Garage16 күн бұрын
N52 is very good at reading airflow and udjusting fuel. A tune may help a little, but it will pick up power on its own. Going from one manifold without a disa to another without a disa is hardly a change for the engine tune. Just a matter of flow at certain RPMs.

Im not sure if the n52 has any forged internals like the n54. But I do know that boosting a car that was not manufactured for boost is a labor of love & absolutely not cost effective. The limited power you can make just dosent justify the dollars youll spend IMO. But building, tuning, modifying any car or cars in general is not exactly a wise investment for most of us. We do it because we like doing it. Cost be damned! 😒 to an extent.. So keep on building brotha. Cant wait to see the final product...

@BurntOrangeHorn78 I agree. The n54 is all forged, and the n52 has forged sleeves. N52 weighs less, has a little bit higher compression, the head flows way better, and about 30cc bigger displacement. If I was aiming to make above 700hp, I'd get an n54 and build it from the block up for sure, but Im not into roll racing and hotboy numbers. I just want to make decent drivable power for the track. Not to mention costs difference.

@Moon-GarageАй бұрын
I'll do a video on why a 328i sometime, but in short, reliability, certain characteristics that the n52 has over the n54 (like compression) and cost. Also, it's all for a purpose. N54 can make good big power, but to drivers that care about more than a straight line, big power is not always what you want, not saying that you can't do a fbo 335 and have a great track car.

Stock internals, just well maintained. I've heard you can do around or just over 500hp safely on stock internals. Forged internals can do around 700 and anything more than that you'd need to close the deck. I'm aiming for around 500, though, so it's drivable on track. I'm not a big HP number chaser. Maybe I'll turn it up and see what it can do when I'm ready to blow it up.

Hey Cameron thanks for making a video on our N52 Turbo kit! We hope it wasn’t to difficult to install as clearances are definitely tight when you add so much into a small area! In terms of your oil feed if you switch it go the other way around you will notice more slack in the line (90° toward the T and straight to the turbo). Excited to see how it ends up running and to see some track driving with it!

Thanks! I ended up just getting a 45⁰ for the oil feed. I think I lost a fitting because it was too low for the pressure sensor to fit the other way as it is on your demo car. May change it in the future.
