BMW 535i TURBO UPGRADE!!!

Finally the wait is over and the turbo is now upgraded. This is a very in depth and detailed video so watch it all so you don't miss anything. There is much more done to my car in this video then just a turbo, including intercooler, carbon cleaning, and more... Please share to help other 535i owners and check out more videos on my car!

Awesome man! Glad you got the Intake valve cleaning done. I posted a video of doing mine a few months ago and have been trying to make sure everyone knows it is needed.

Nice build brother. I have 2013 535i FBO with JB4. Just ordered a Vargas GC turbo upgrade and installing a PFS port injection kit at the same time... Do you or are you having any fueling issues? I didn't catch if you had upgraded your fuel management with an HPFP, PI or something else. My car right now with FBO and running MAP5 is starving for fuel at full boost.

[@CarGeeks]

I have a custom fabricated one. I would recommend active autowerkes tho.

[@MRCM311]

Yooo dope !! I’m a f10 owner 2013 535i in the orlando area and just ordered a charge pipe ! I currently have a K&N intake , downpipe , muffler delete ! Wanted to ask would you recommend getting a intercooler before I get a jb4 ? Or is the jb4 not worth it and going to just cause problems ?! Thanks I just subscribed to your channel !

[@CarGeeks]

Hey awesome man! I would definitely get the jb4 before the intercooler you will notice a big difference! If you do the jb4 you should 100% upgrade your charge pipe so you don’t blow it up. And thank you bro!

[@MRCM311]

Car Geeks ok cool ! I ordered the charge pipe already 🙌🏼 so from your experience the jb4 shouldn’t give me no issues ? Like engine problems

[@CarGeeks]

Nope not at all or from what I’ve heard. I use to have a jb4 and wanted a more aggressive tune so I went to active but I loved the jb4

[@100bill3]

@@CarGeekshey brother, your F10 is cool and I like the content. Call Dinan...They absolutely do not have any upgraded turbos that work for an F10 N55. According to Dinan, they design their upgraded turbos to specifically work with their expensive Dinantronics software too. I was confused why it would work for an F30 but not an F10, but they confirmed in 2019 and I called them last week to see if anything had changed. I'm a Florida F10 owner too, so I just wanted to pass along the info.

how did you fit that tow hook in your front bumper

[@BurrNinja]

Did you notice any whine when your turbo was failing? Also how long did you run your failing turbo? Im noticing a certain whine of some sort when I give 75% or more throttle, im at 101k miles oil changed every 3-4k. I have to check my turbo bearings to see if thats the cause. If so I will be getting a new turbski.

[@CarGeeks]

I did not hear a wine when it was going. I knew it was going cause I had lost pretty much all boost and I was significantly slower.

[@BurrNinja]

@@CarGeeks Ah ok, im gonna tear down my intake side and check my turbo.

[@CarGeeks]

Sounds good. You can also check in your charge pipe and intercooler if there’s oil there.

[@BurrNinja]

@@CarGeeks Fixed issue, when I did my trans service i followed the fcpeuro video. Didnt realize to leave car running when topping off fluid, got that done today whine is gone. First time doing so now I will know for next time. I was about a quart low btw.

Enjoyed the video. When the before/after shots are split screen they are labeled incorrectly. Keep up the good work!

[@95blkmax]

Hey, there’s a thread going on the f10.5post forums regarding this Dinan turbo based on your video! General consensus is no one really has tried this turbo so no idea on how good or not it is. It’s priced between the PS1 and the PS2, but does it perform in between the two?? WE’D LOVE TO SEE A DYNO :-)

[@erich1308]

I started that thread

[@CarGeeks]

I haven’t dynoed it and I don’t plan on it because I don’t want to blow my motor lol

[@Corsa_Technik]

We would say it performs closer to the PS1. It’s a great upgrade on N55s looking to have more performance without changing complete turbo frames or manifolds. We’ve done a few Dinan spec turbo builds and they perform fantastic for the price.

[@Hp20M3King]

You cant really blow up your motor on a dyno, unless the guy is not professional, and second i don’t believe your turbo is custom built, you have a stage 1 Pure turbo upgrade come my guy its obvious. To push 400hp+ all you need is intake,downpipe,cooler,e85,tune. No need to upgrade the turbo. If u want more 450+ its pure turbo upgrade stage 1 or 2. And this is coming from a guy that works on german engines.

What kind of turbo did you upgrade to? Not sure if you mentioned it, also. How much dis they charge labor to get a idea for mine.

[@CarGeeks]

Here’s the little backstory behind the turbo. The guy who had it before me worked at BMW and he bought a turbo and sent it to where Dinan builds theirs. So it was built at Dinan. I got the turbo off of him because he blew his motor, the turbo only had 3K miles on it.

[@CarGeeks]

I don’t know the labor for just the turbo but I want to say it was around $600 if I had to guess.

[@rigoquest8344]

Got it, thanks for the reply bro. Sick video. Are you going to put it on a dyno?

Anytime man! And no just because I don’t want to blow it up lol
