What's the deal with the headlights? They don't look like LCI as they have different indicators, looks pre-lci. Also, don't go M50D injectors and HPFP on a manual as I found out. Need to then upgrade the clutch and flywheel, but no one makes a upgraded dual mass flywheel to handle the power and torque. As mentioned in the vid, this power is the best bang for the buck, anymore and then you need to start spending money everywhere for the car to handle it.

6:32 is an example of why ERG is the worst way to bring emissions down. If the EGR System on a modern car looks like that id imagine most 15-20 year old diesels with this system still on them are just plugged solid. People in the industry told me to disassemble the EGR System and clean it every 50-60.000 miles and/or change the EGR Valve. You are mad is what I said. That is not a simple job like changing spark plugs or performing a regular service (oil,belts etc). Id have to order up a seal kit, cleaner and probably new parts aswell. Having that done at the dealership would be ideal but imagine the bill... A full service of the EGR System should be in the regular service intervals when you lease a car or buy new.

[@Luton-Mick]

If you ever get the chance tell the same people to plumb a hose from their arse to their mouths and see how they get on being fitted with an EGR valve recycling their noxious gasses...same principle and not very pleasant for the end user.

Bits do break off. And the motors fail. They are only open at low loads so won't give torque anywhere that matters. They are for emissions only.

Was this all with stock HPFP, rail pressure sensor and injectors? Impressive numbers!

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes, full specs here - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/bmw-e91-330d-n57-3-0-24v-cr-ga6hp-26z-6-speed-automatic-424-4bhp-660ft-lbs/

What boost you are running ? What rail pressure ? How much fuel mg ?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

2.3 bar and lots!

[@Nhs787]

For this turbine 2.3 bar is nothing, it will run and run :)

[@dorartambari3197]

Rail pressure?

[@Jacob-nn6oy]

Is there any kind of discount for handing in our stock turbo for this big turbo? Or are we better off selling the turbo ourselves?

Great video. Would similar results be possible on the X3 F25 30d with the N57D engine?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Should be able to! We've got a blog on n57 tuning if you want to check it out - www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/Blog/tuning-the-bmw-x30d-n57n-n57d30a-30-diesel-engine/

When does that system start to spool? Your graph starts at 2.000rpm. Not that I'm planning to get one but just out of curiosity. I just love good torque from down low that doesn't rub out of revs upwards. A good punch of torque but not uncontrolled. Love the Mk3 Mondeo 2.2TDCi. Unluckily they have a big issue with the injectors. But the power band is a dream. I like PD engines too but the torque just comes too aggressive and they run out of rpm so quickly

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Boost starts at super low RPM but below 2k it's a bit slower

[@no-damn-alias]

@@DarksideDevelopments hey thanks for the reply. If you'd hold it below 2000Rpm and hit the throttle. Will it eventually spool or is that just too low? Like going down the motorway in 6th gear

[@bradleyjones5466]

Can you get intakes for this engine? Not manifolds I mean like before the turbo, I have looked everywhere for my N57D30A. Need more intake noise

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We don't do any for the E-series unfortunately

[@bradleyjones5466]

@@DarksideDevelopments do you know of anywhere that does? Unless it’s M57 no one does anything for the n57😐

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Not too sure, don't think the air boxes have caused enough of a restriction to need them. But it may be something we look into if enough people want them

[@bradleyjones5466]

@@DarksideDevelopmentscould you make one or is there a company you know of that can make one

Buenas amigo , esa clase de turbo de rodamientos se tienen que refrigerar con agua ?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

They aren't cooled by water , no

[@matthewbrown2479]

yes yes yes darkside do u guys have the graphic for the intercooler graphic and can i buy it or make my own

[@DarksideDevelopments]

You have to buy our cooler!

[@rich9830]

What colour is this BMW 330d please?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

It could be Space Grey? Not 100% sure though

[@IzziedeD]

i have a 2014 535d (US Spec, i think it's the same as euro 530d) N57. Do you guys have a kit + tune to do these upgrades on my 5er?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Drop us an email to [e-mail] with vin number and we can see what we can do for you

[@wilspu5590]

Name that tune

[@subseg5579]

Do m57 come with swirl flaps too? So egr delete is a must too..

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Yes

[@subseg5579]

@Darkside Developments thanks for replying! Love your knowledge on these diesels.. however I'd like to hassle you one last time, I have the 325d 2009 highline. I believe it's the m57 automatic. Nobody can confirm what size of swirl flap blanking plates I require. Could you possibly shine some light on this please 🙏 Thanks in advance

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Email us the VIN but sometimes you just need to buy both kits! And return the wrong one obviously!

[@subseg5579]

@Darkside Developments no problem, I'll send you guys an email today. Thanks again for your time and keep up the good work guys, we are all gaining knowledge from your videos and experience. All the best 👍

[@Mac_F87]

The more I see on here the more I’m considering dipping my toe into diesel next.

[@tomgreen3284]

I'm on stage 3 . Wagner intercooler. Straight pipe etc. How much does a stage 3 remap and fitted hybrid cost? It should hit 380bhp? I don't want to spend the money on m50 injectors and pump atm. Also is it true it takes longer to spool up on a hybrid. Making it worse around town but better on long straights? Thanks

[@DarksideDevelopments]

We don't work in stages like generic mappers, who use smoke and mirrors to charge you more. Please forward your email and reg and we will send you the details.
