This is very detailed. My amateur brain is taking a break at the 10 minute mark. I'll look at it again and make sure I fully understand it and then progress. Very, very interesting.

[@under_ground_]

best explanation of not only blow off valves but the entire intake and boost systems of bmw engines. brilliant. damn smart guy.

[@Elmantukas]

Thats some really awesome and detailed explaining! Especially with all the parts that you have, you allow anyone to visualise the whole process, and the actual presentation of the valve fitted is that cherry on top. Thank you so much!

[@SteveWeltman]

I was overwhelmed with the info coming at me so fast that I was fatigued to listen and watch the install. This might have been a good series of 3 videos for us mere mortals to watch and learn from you.

[@mkvB58KING]

I have the same kit on my 340i, sounds awesome I love it. You get the full sound when you let off after a gear change, or keep partial throttle when you let off otherwise they are crisp like you say. I'm pushing 21psi on stage 2+ stock turbo.

[@VehicularDIY]

Nice, yeah at 21 PSI I bet it sounds great.

I currently drive a 16’ M235i and it has an N55. They put em’ in almost every car from 11’-17’ it feels like. Edit: I’m just now connecting the dots. You have an X5, you have an ‘M’ as your profile picture, and you said “turbos” with an ‘s’. Do you have an X5 M?!?! The S63 is a beaut! 2nd edit: I’m a dumbass that confused you with the first guy that replied, the X5 owner who asked the question.

[@Kh.J.]

You need to keep in mind that the boost after the intercooler is less than the boost before it “charge-pipe” so the BOV spring must be stiff enough to compensate the boost difference.

[@alfa_romeo55yush82]

Boss man, youre extremely knowledgeable about BMW and its engines. Its great to see you lending your vast wisdom. I blew the hoses off my N54 the other day powering the car down the highway. Would I need to install a blow off valve ???

[@I.LikeCars]

This is currently my favorite channel. Also considering a 440i now, did they ever make a manual one?

[@souljayt8411]

Yes kern317 has a big turbo 6 speed 440i

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

BMW relocated the MAF sensor on the N54 from the intake manifold to downstream on the air intake on the N55 plus with the boost pressure on the charge pipe. I'm also quite happy the wastegate became electronic in mid-2013 moving away from a pneumatic wastegate. More performance, reduced maintenance and less problems. Call me boring, I'm running fully stock as in no tune at all; but I have a VRSF charge pipe and M Peformance exhaust.

I just finished swapping in a 91 ford 5.0 v8 into my e36. i rebuilt that whole engine. and ive loved cars since like 3. always learning anything new, like tech and stuff . what im trying to say is i know ALOT about cars but god dam this engine is overly complicated, with everything he explained im like " WHY THEY DO THAT" lol

[@crabmansteve6844]

Why that engine? I'm not knocking you, I am genuinely curious. Not a common swap. Far as I know it's 180-200hp stock in a 5.0 V8 is a little anemic, but I'm not a Ford guy so any aftermarket on that engine platform isn't something I'd know.

[@insanegixxerdude486]

Hey brother. I’ve been hunting down this 101f01 code for a while now. On an n55 x3. It only appears in the cooler months and then disappears in the warmer one. The mechanic can’t find any leaks in the valve cover with a smoke test. I’m guessing is a micro crack of a component but not sure where it could be. Manifold pressure too high and engine light comes on.

Weird. BMW doesn’t use the throttle body, the valve is always open and throttling is control via valve lift. This is because a throttle valve induces pumping losses.

Is the upshift pop created by both diverter air and extra fuel injection? The sound only happen on certain sport models mimicking turbo anti lag. Without extra fuel, would it still pop(enough hydro carbon in CAT?)?

[@VehicularDIY]

Yes if you notice in the video during the shift you get a pop and only when I let off the gas at 5K RPMs do you get a strong BOV sound. So with an automatic the BOV won't activate during a gear shift. I don't think you'd get the pop unless fuel was being diverted to the exhaust.

[@Altezza1999]

How reliable has it been?

[@MrKobedagreat24]

Nice video! Can you add a bov to a n55. Also another question i have a f30 and everytime someone opens the door i get a key not detectable notification on idrive. Just changed key fob battery and still happening. No issues other then whenevr someone opens the door. Comfort access works fine. Could it be the battery of the car.

[@giraffe8554]

N54 BE BETTER

[@VehicularDIY]

Thanks! You can add an electronic BOV on the N55. If you were to shut the car off and start it right back would you still get that notification? I noticed on the F36 it seems to hold on to the message even when the issue is gone. On the E90 it would automatically clear the message once the key is redetected.

[@MrKobedagreat24]

@@VehicularDIY no the notification wouldnt come up. I read the forums today a lot of people were sayying they bought the ebay logo door light and they would get that notification whenever they opened the doors. Once the swapped back to oem the notification wouldnt come one. My car has those ebay logo lights. Im gonna buy some oem ones.

[@TheGh02t]

Yes you can. If you don’t want to go full on bov, you can get one from go fast bits. It’s basically an adapter that helps it to hold more boost. Not too expensive as well. Would totally recommend for a mild to medium set up.

[@Nickodarius]

Do you know if the s55 has a diverter or blow-off valve?

[@profuse007]

Don’t think any EPA certified cars in USA have venting to atmosphere, like using BOV. I believe BOV are always aftermarket parts. So it either has diverter valve (excess air pressure go into intake manifold) or recirculating valve (excess go in front of the turbine or intake pipe)

[@Nickodarius]

@@profuse007 Thanks but I wasn't asking what I might have but exactly what I do have.

[@VehicularDIY]

No it would be like the B58 and I'm guessing they refined that technology on the S55 given it had a dual clutch + boost and adopted it on the B58. You can get a BOV kit for it as of this year from BMS.

First of all no car has or needs it. When Upshifting under Throttle they keep Boost in the engine so throttle Response is better. In any other case they use the dump valve inside the Turbo to blow of and keep the Turbo spinning. So fitting a blow off is plane stupid!
