BIG Single Turbo Install - BMW N54 335i

[@bigash_n54]

Love how 18 years after the N54 was released, people are still making content on it, it really is the OG. Single turbo sounds so good.

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

it's a great platform! I'm glad I got hooked on them!

[@GamerFit86]

That last part when he realized the harness wasn't fully clicked in!!!!! At least I know my car will be in good hands!

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

it sure will be!

[@ZaksWorld14]

Nice job, honestly you guys made it look so easy 😂

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

correction, the editor made it look so easy. lol by the end of it, I was mentally spent.

[@marcoc4513]

Hey! This is Marco, met you at Sylvan! My car is finally getting dialed on the 67mm and your MAC line pics I took definitely helped:). Always enjoy tuning in!

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

glad it helped! nice to have met you! 😎

[@TheMasterKelly]

spacing out the engine mount was a sick idea i wouldn't want to smash the strut tower either haha

[@Notyourfathersbmw]

I'm currently preparing for a single turbo swap. Great video! I'll be watching it a few more times to help me for when I get the turbo kit :)

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

The strut tower is structural lmao that is definitely not a solution. Hitting high speeds with a smashed in strut tower is moronic. Good on you for not being a hack. Love the channel, we need more love for the N54.

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

absolutely, I would never hack job a vehicle like that. The N54 deserves the love it gets, not sure how I got stuck on them but I'm glad I did! 135i single turbo build video incoming soon. 😎

[@jesseplascencia4114]

My favorite channel.. More content please.

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

we're working on it!

[@NTromb]

Hey Tony, I hope you’re having an awesome end to the summer so I haven’t been in touch lately. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

no complaints!

[@edwardwerley8831]

Great video guys!

[@milekitanovic]

HRVATSKA! glad i am subed to fellow Croat :)

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

thanks! I appreciate it! 🇭🇷

[@chadcolbert2074]

How did you prime the car what all did you guys disconnect priming my car today

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

all you need to do is pick each injector clip off each injector then crank in 4 sets of 10 seconds letting the starter cool for 30 seconds in between. that's it!

[@chadcolbert2074]

@@tony.nextlevelrides okay I’ll have to figure out where they sit haha last thing I want is for the car to start randomly

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

@chadcolbert2074 you'll see them, they look square from the top with two wires. they can suck to get out so lift the tab with a pick or zip tie and lightly tug the wire. it'll come out. otherwise you can use protocols to disable the fuel pump for priming or pull the fuel pump fuses. just need to listen if it's priming. if the fuel system primes. it can fire.

[@jamestabor587]

Tony, nice to see this video. Are you familiar with bimmerdoctor in Canada as well? You two are my Canada BMW subscribed channels. If so are you familiar with his channel and n63 builds?

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

to be honest, I've not heard of them. that being said, I'm going to check them out today! I'm surprised they work on the N63, imagine our skills combined. we'd be unstoppable. lol (kidding).

[@jamestabor587]

@@tony.nextlevelridesyes he is a young guy in his early 20s. He is probably the best n63 master DIYer I’ve ever seen. His channel is BIMMERDOCTOR. He just released a new video on a 328xi but has an 8 part series on a total n63 rebuild and replace. I just thought it was cool he was somewhat close to you

[@johnzuniga3567]

Did you delete the canisters?

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

yup! when you go single turbo you get rid of the vacuum canisters since the wastegate is converted to a conventional setup.

[@chadcolbert2074]

How hard was it to get the turbos out with out dropping the subframe really want to avoid doing it if I don’t have to installing my this weekend

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

if it's RWD, you don't need to drop the subframe. if it's xDrive, it's really not bad to drop it.

[@chadcolbert2074]

@@tony.nextlevelrides will I need a cherry picker

[@chadcolbert2074]

Last question I promise did you reuse the water pipe gasket

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

@chadcolbert2074 nope, because it's burried in there and difficult to change afterwards, I made sure to change it. the gasket is cheap.

[@markanthonysepulveda1642]

did you guys ever drop the subframe?

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

nope, didn't need to on a RWD.

[@DD1-r3r]

How much would you charge for that work? Where are you located ?

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

located in Calgary, Alberta. I don't do the work as a service unfortunately.

[@brianacosta1893]

Great job , but u don’t need a single turbo to beat up a n55 , with a perfect twin turbo build you can beat them up ,,n55’s are slow asfffff

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

yup, you're right! I think I've beat up on my buddy Ozzy 12 of 12 times with my old e90. but with a single, you can show them the real spice level. ;)

[@ChadColbert-g8z]

Got a kit of his in im going to need some help 🤣

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

this kit definitely tested my patience, it was TERRIBLE to install.

[@chadcolbert2074]

@@tony.nextlevelrides yeah I figured if you have some time I’ll need to pick your brain since there are no instructions with the kit

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

no problem, you can fire us an email or send a message on Instagram. I'll do what I can to help.

[@chadcolbert2074]

@@tony.nextlevelrides I appreciate it big time

[@Youtube_executive999]

Fail, no videos of it running or making pulls .

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

was late at night, I'm sure we'll be doing a review once the clutch is changed. plus, he did have an exhaust apt. so it wasn't TECHNICALLY finished.

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

wait. it does show it running and revving lol

[@dirtjumpdad9889]

Why tf would anyone buy a kit that has known fitment issues???? Great job but f that man….

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

the only reason he got it was because it came off another vehicle. it just fits like garbage no matter what.

[@atinoteintunovas9969]

Nice! Just that you guys did that job so fast that I didn´t even see what you did, or was it that I fell asleep? No idea! Anyways she runs and sounds good!

[@tony.nextlevelrides]

I had to watch it twice, some frustrating parts were cut but overall it runs great! not my favorite kit to install though.

[@IAmMustangMissy]
