Not too many things in life are better than the first start at night after working on it all day with your buddies.

[@deuntewilliams9384]

Brandon G no sir

[@JD2.0N54]

Definitely not. I just did the front inlet in my E92XI last night. The smile on my face when I started it, was priceless.

[@ysljay9061]

Exactly right 😭😂

[@sirob584]

This is a fact!!!!

[@chadparries5628]

I hardly ever comment on KZbin videos, but wanted to reach out to you guys. I recently installed an ST kit on my 135i and watched this video probably a dozen times. It was excellent for reference and helped me out immensely on a bunch of stuff (like installing the coolant pipe and block fittings before the manifold). Documenting all this was much appreciated!

[@jimmysheppard2853]

Wanna another build? My car is yours 2007 335I 113,000 miles. Do what you want but i want it back when your done and dont mess up my interior lol

[@LPTheCaMpEr171]

OMG its great job guys. Respect from Czech republic. I love BMW and this is the greatest Turbo install i ever see. Thumbs up !

[@mr.valentino2824]

Thank you guys for doing this video. I just did upgrade twins but if and when they go, I'll be going single. Thanks again, respect!

[@BudgetBimmers]

Ariano Robb Thank you!!

[@joelsanchez1439]

Amazing work guys! Thanks for taking the time to share so many details!! 👏🏾💪🏽

[@irontrev1640]

After this vid I followed a lot of what you did to pull my k member on my 2008 335xi and doing an oil pan gasket!! Your videos are great you guys helped me more than my Bentley manual could ever do. Thank you for the videos !!!

[@kylemcweeny165]

i like how detailed your walk through is ..legit ..subscribed

[@Purpz710]

3 years late but im so glad I found your page. Subscribed !! Thanks for the info. It really helped

[@sicuno9]

you guy make a good team keep up the awesome work.

[@lumivar1719]

Great guide. I love high skill level N54 DIY videos!

[@Dc2_Sean]

Great job with the install. It look super clean compared to the other videos I have seen on KZbin.

[@gl0ckii]

Love the build. You guys are awesome, & frankly I've been inspired. I'm looking forward to doing a similar build for my future e90

[@paulpateman3968]

So informative could watch these videos all day brilliant work guys

[@TheTruelakersfan]

The sound is sick!Sounds powerful

[@jordanberry4824]

You guys know your shits!!! I used to wrench all the time and still do once in awhile. I built my 93 mustang motor back in 94 with aluminum heads cam everything you can imagine including a Vortech S Trim. I just put some Tein suspension on my Mercedes. You guys did some decent work though👍👍👍

[@stevedote2012]

Awesome video guys! Very helpful. I will be doing this in a few weeks as soon as my kit arrives. You can watch somebody else struggle once my DIY is up.

[@friguy4444]

Seriuosly you guys are AWESOME! This is the best DIY video on a very crucial and wanted build. The N54 platform is only now really exploding because they are so plentiful and you can get them so cheap! The market for after market parts and videos like this is just exploding IMHO. I just bought one for $1500.00 USD threw a High pressure fuel pump in it did a wheel bearing and have been throwing the parts from China at it for the last three months while driving it. It's KILLER! People keep saying "These are too expensive to run so they aren't a very good bargain. But it's the complete opposite. Buy them very cheap with something wrong that non DIYer's don't want to pay to fix. Do it yourself for dirt cheap with Chinese parts and go baby go. Just use the OEM parts when it really counts. LOL. But most the Chinese parts work fine and sometimes better than the OEM. Testing has been going on on them through the "0 to 60" guys on TY. They LOVE "Budget Bimmers" Big time too!

[@unluckeeeee]

Great detailed video. Love to do a single to my 135i. Make me realise I could prob do this with enough time and patience in my garage.

[@friguy4444]

A good buddy that's cool headed and not afraid to pitch in is invaluable. Few and far between to find them. Even better one with a great sense of humor. LOL.

[@AK1313]

This is a sick video, thanks for sharing the whole process

[@1na5ty4]

Best video on this monster job. Great job dudes

[@akeuc5770]

Well done budget bummers loved it❤ need to see this thing on rolling road💯💯💯👌

[@andreiput9492]

I watch this vid and the dyno vid over and over and over. Very cool.

[@BudgetBimmers]

andrei put thanks for your support!

[@denchocoolingservicesbv5899]

Good job guys!

[@AEME000]

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@adonismetolli210]

Keep it up guys!!! I love the channel

[@ianboykin1798]

The coolant is driving my gear head nuts! Suggestion, pick up a three gallon fuel can and label it coolant, then premix the water and coolant in that so it will be 50/50 mixed. Great video's, keep up the good work.

[@herberthlopez2199]

Good job guys

[@jairosendsit8667]

Awesome video guy looks like a lot of work went into this

[@hozaifahr9059]

Good job guys .. this video actually had alot of work u did on it .. but i reaaly wnna to say keep it up .. good luck

[@tnie9166]

Nice work!

[@mustafaahmed4151]

Idk what I’m doing here but I enjoyed very educational ❤️✌🏼

[@joshuamerrill6446]

Just me that watches this over and over?

[@BrodieBro323]

Barq's! Haha can't stop watching you guys. Hilarious with the best bimmer vids!

[@dapz325]

Good jobs guys! Only true enthusiast would make to the end. Im sure this video will blow up when people understand n54 is better than 2jz.

[@milehigh2jz281]

dapz325 show me proof it's better 📸

[@Noobie250r]

dapz325 I own a 07 335i and if say if still rather a the crazy sounds of a 2j

[@diagmozes]

Almost all the 3 liter inline 6 cyl engines are better than 2JZ.

[@gavinwells35]

Mile high 2jz been done no 2jz has seen 100k miles of 800+ horsepower, what you failed to see is that the n54 is better than a hellcat, it has suspension that wasn't made by chrystler thank God and it has proven reliability on the streets and the track at ouragous numbers ,....better than 2jz?dude it's in competition for the best and most capable fucking engine ever and that includes supercar v10s and v12s the 2jz is a flimsy piece of crap compared to the n54,the even funnier thing about this all is that I am absolutely the most pro Toyota and Lexus guy fucking ever I do not love a company more Than Toyota, I see the pioneering in all of their cars that people who only like the surpras just never will, I currently have 6 cars 2 of them are toyota/Lexus both Lexus engines but if I had 100 cars 80 of them would be Lexus, old foriegns were good for what they were, good potential for cheap cars, amazing reliability and durability but you start talking about non stock shit and drag race pushing an engine to the point where the block needs to be thicker to even handle the power, there is no comparison the 2jz is a toaster and the n54 is a fucking submarine

[@gavinwells35]

Mile high 2jz go ahead go look for a n54 that's blown because of too much tuning, you won't fucking find it this engine can handle more than wheels or tires or driveshafts even made in aftermarket , the 2jz will go for high numbers don't get me wrong BUT when you start talking supercar horsepower 600-800-1000 whp, the 2jz is a ticking time bomb in comparison and obviously not as well equipped stock you'd have to replace literally everything to be able to handle it,...more money.....less purpose

[@juanmireles3067]

Thank you so much to take the time and make this video now I'm confident to do single turbo my self

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Juan Mireles it's a pain. I replaced twins on a 335 before and it's stupid annoying

[@juanmireles3067]

AndrewKidd14145 so you recommend to take it to a shop instead?

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Juan Mireles Do you have any mechanical experience?

[@juanmireles3067]

AndrewKidd14145 no but you learn on the way

[@AndrewKidd14145]

Juan Mireles you are right but it is a very difficult job. Get a Bentley manual and do it. And take all the time you need

[@azki69]

awesome vídeo dudes!!!!

[@BrownNProud781]

you guys are freaking great👌🏼👍🏻

[@redlinerokr]

awesome video guys. subscribed so i have some videos to watch at work

[@johngarcia4764]

You guys are incredible

[@giohooe]

Back at it again 😂💀

[@BplexOnline]

The « do you fxcking mind » at 26:16 deserved a subscription 😂😂😂

[@micraw714]

Damn great video and I wish we were neighbors! I'm inspired to do more work on my problem child n54 now lol.

[@jerrydenney5184]

I feel your frustrations, and you have the right to vent, seams like no matter what is to be worked on, out if the "only 3" bolts there's always 1 that either strip out, breaks off, or simply can not be reached and that's after you are forced to remove atleast 2 other devices in totally unrelated systems that aren't being worked on, but now require a bolt, or gasket, or wire because they are now removed, every task on any other car you'd say, "ohh that'll take an hour or 2" but not on a bmw....you start off thinking or saying that....and then Patrick comes out with his signs... BUT when finished...I'm all smiles too, until the next repair or mod, has to be done, thanks for sharing , I'm thinking of adding a turbo to my non turbo 2006 325i e9x, but I'll be at it all alone, maybe if I do you 2 can come help, and catch it for your you tube channel, I haven't seen any for that mod yet.. have fun and safe driving guys!

[@staftech2473]

Nice turbo instal dude

[@xXspark365Xx]

Dude that ps mount is genius

[@michaelwilliams7404]

"Now thats fkig touching dude? I quit! LOL

[@ivanmanqkas6814]

Very nice job!

[@ogierjohns7213]

Dame.. good job fellas...

[@kayzrx8]

love the vids man

[@DrSpeed007]

Great video!

[@1VETaLEK2]

yall should make a video about what its been like driving it over the last year

[@agusaltobelli1675]

good job guys I subscribed Let's go BMW! Greetings from Argentina 👍👍

[@jeffkot8099]

Pay to play ! 335 n54s are way cheaper than a Lamborghini, Ferrari. and the mods can keep up with anything at 10 times the cost ! lol The lower blocks on a n54 are bulletproof! its the water and gas pumps that get you. F--- I LOVE EM ! They seriously haul ASS ! lol

[@hankhasemeier6887]

You can i stall the springs on the waste gates with just one person. Just use long threaded rods so you aren't holding the cap down with your hand and trying to thread the screws in

[@dan_e465]

Very detailed video lads wicked 👍🏼definitely gonna help me a lot for sure... Quick question tho how did you run the vacuum lines from the wastegates to the solenoid etc?

[@fayezcorolla]

u guys are awsome

[@Bdub423]

Another awesome vid hahah I like how you guys keep it real man , makes it more do able seeing how you guys can work together and get it done. btw where did you get that car lift??

[@BudgetBimmers]

Brandon Williams Thanks man! And here's a link to the jack www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/shopcart/TOOL/POR_TOOL_BNDpak_pg2.htm?gclid=Cj0KCQjws-LKBRDCARIsAAOTNd7bzJgO5_X-xzXnphrH5T6m8HNcqNIl7NmXB6vB6GTALgqVhmFe7DoaArgKEALw_wcB

[@sabbirahamed8554]

U guys r awesome....

[@liemqnguyen]

awsome guys !

[@fast4d1]

in 2001, I got tired of superchargers on my mustang and installed a turbo kit. I was hooked! currently driving an S55 M3 but want a N54 car for fun. Thinking about a 335 or Z4.

[@erikmoralesrenteria2464]

Get a 335i bro better interior and exterior. These things are beautiful

[@antonitorres5934]

2004 Z4 looks good to turbo

[@daveusagi]

@budget bimmers, i hope read and reply...... - this is the best video of how install the turbo kit, and thats why i jump over this kit from others. first of all i have questions about the kit... many parts like water pump and others are new. is included on doc turbo kit? or need to buy in other place?... basicly i want know what parts are needed for hold 600 TORQUE, example, fuel stage 2/3 return line, fuel direct port kit, clutch, something else? i hope soon reply...

[@nathanpaullloyd]

Hey guys, first and foremost great job on this series of videos. Love the dedication. I'm researching with regard to all the parts to purchase before I start to work on my car, I see you bought the turbo kit and clutch. Were there any parts that you needed that didnt come with the kit? Or were all the necessary components included. Cheers. Nathan

[@nathanpaullloyd]

Also is there anything you wish you had done while down there or done differently.

[@maxmeekhoff]

Excellent video guys

[@rhodybimmers8094]

Rhode Island boys stand up!!

[@antonitorres5934]

Good job . Can you hyper- link the hardware you purchased ? We would like to follow to install in our bmw. Thanks

[@goochbillingham]

legends

[@jurzyjohner432]

Do you guys have a part two, running the car?

[@paulic5561]

Nice work boys ... from a fellow BM lover .... GG. Cant wait to see the complete job ... what are you expecting through the wheel as regards HP? I have seen on on YT that is 900 ... crazy mad. LOVE YA WORK .... luv fr New Zealand

[@BudgetBimmers]

Paul Caunter Thank You! I'm hoping to get 7-800 once I have proper fueling!

[@paulic5561]

cant wait for you to complete the job ..... will be following this every step .... are your processes and systems unique in relation to your tweaks? I can feel the love and the passion ... as for the last video :) I am still grinning .... respect u ledges! Fukin fly you 2 to NZ - lol

[@Built4Destruction]

awesome video guys! what kit is this? how much was it?

[@mmjnice97]

how do just all of a sudden just start moving so fast?? oh yea I just subscribed thanks guys love to video

[@pamdondeli2729]

Just subscribe!!! Great video

[@lilspudd54]

Very entertaining and informative video, subbed 👍🏽

[@AllThingsG7]

You guys are fucking awesome!!!!

[@MMafiaV]

How'd all the fiberglass feel on your arms after holding the wrapped manifold like that? Either way awesome video I enjoyed it! lol Also I would recommend getting the diesel expansion tank as it mounts to the stock location for a diesel. And you can then reuse the brackets for the power steering to mount where the little groove/circle shape is on the expansion tank. Also pick up some brass T fittings for the wastegates.

[@oceansidepirates23]

Fuck fiberglass 😅

[@boostedgrunt3760]

The subframe bolts..did you reuse them if not you wouldn't still have numbers used?? Called fcp 3 times got different part numbers each time.

[@normloo1590]

How are the vacuum hoses route from the two Turbosmart wastegates to the single turbo?

[@alexnljnpr]

Nice

[@mnfishing4194]

Hey, so after the install i see you guys were driving the car did you beat on it or no also you were on map 1 on jb4 right?

[@julienesteves6215]

Hello a quand une prochaine vidéo n54 ?? Vous etes au top

[@dolphinfan1493]

My oil feed fitting is slightly leaking the elbow on top of the turbo.. did you just hand tighten it towards the driver side?? That’s what I did and it wouldn’t move anymore so assume that was correct. I could tap it with a wrench and hammer for one more rotation but was wondering if I was missing something like a gasket or maybe loctite didn’t see you do anything besides hand tighten it. Don’t know why my elbow is slightly leaking 😕

[@andrewbuell2307]

Hey guys! I'm installing a single turbo here shortly and would love to get in touch through email or something to ask you some questions I have

[@waynefilkins8394]

i don't have one of these cars but I always thought they were pretty cool after I saw one with bov and some other mods. I was just wondering why do you put a single turbo in place of twin turbo? Or were the stock ones going back and you didn't want to pay as much or do you get more performance from 1 big turbo?

[@jankrnac9211]

Hi, how much power can be achieved on serial direct fuel injectors?

[@matt03384]

Have question, my apologies if this was addressed in one of your videos but I am trying to decide stage 2 vargas or on 3 single turbo. What was your deciding factor for the single vs the twin vargas or similar? Vargas stage 2 is making some huge claims and sounds like the better choice imo, but this video has me intrigued. Excited to see more videos, keep up the good work.

[@BudgetBimmers]

+p 2o I've always liked the idea of a big single, and I'm hoping to someday make serious power so I figured the single turbo was the best route. Plus the sounds it makes are amazing

[@markcozzie]

What was so hard it was a bolt on kit nothing had to be fabbed up so should be easy,. How much was the kit 4/5k?

[@trebot40]

Thanks alot for this DIY. I just finished mine and wouldn't have been able to do it myself if it wasnt for this vid :) Let´s just hope there is no leakage on mine :D

[@TheCarBro]

Is there any benefits to going single?

[@josehiginiocastrolopez6558]

Hey guys where do I have to connect the EGR sensor and the hose? I'm working on a 2010 335i n54

[@Bultish]

hey did you guys ever try upgrading the twin turbo setup? Thats kinda budget is it not? Like 5 times cheaper..

[@osnielperez5968]

How much clearance did you get after the washers. I have 2 and im not hitting but only by .5mm.

[@1na5ty4]

I have a question for you guys even though this was a while ago. Where did you connect the hose that would run from the compressor intake side to the crankcase or pcv valve. ? I have a catch can and want to run the turbo guard but don't know where to run this hose or if I should block it..??

[@ralphbougerges2803]

Hello in just do like in the video but didnt understand the part of the vacuum any help please??

[@captainLoknar]

FYI That kit is listed 5000$ on ECS. not sure if that's the actual price but it's value. I can't afford it atm and not even sure if it's legal (or my insurance allows me) to do this in Canada

[@aaronmendez6566]

"Do you fucking mind" 😂😂😂 funniest shit ever 😂💀

[@Germani-zx8kp]

You guys didn’t do the valve cover ?

[@jockdeeznutz]

I have a DOC race kit with a 6466gen2, I'm running the black and red springs (14.5psi) Do you think that's too high?

[@xi-meme-ix6933]

Missing these bro’s😕

[@erikmoralesrenteria2464]

Is this harder than doing a twin turbo upgrade? Ive done twins and thinking anout a single turbo build for the next e92 im getting

[@Bultish]

Why two waste gates? Is it not the same pressure system before the turbo?
