Only reason I watch Adams channel is for more Alberto content

Word!

[@DrewDiddy7703]

No Berto, no Boost. Kudos on keeping all of Adams cars running and Still finding time to work on your own👍🏼💪🏼

[@miggonza25]

keep up the videos man cant wait to see some RX7 stuff

[@tobuzokugarage2677]

Hey Alberto! I recently picked up an M50 for $45 that I’m rebuilding and your channel has helped me a bunch. Thank you!

[@Ericygb]

Woooo glad your back!! No more Maria = more vids an a happier Alberto 🤘🏽

13:24 I thought that was the tap, I almost crapped my pants 👖

[@ALBERTOBIGBOOST]

Integra DIY hahahahahaha 😅

[@chimpun1979]

​@@ALBERTOBIGBOOSTAny reason for tapping the hole instead of installing Time-Serts? I thought it was almost impossible to install ARP studs on tapped holes.

[@clh3385]

Don’t forget brake fluid to. I know someone sells different color brake fluid so you know if you changed it from the time before and so u know the fluid has been fully flushed once the new color starts to come out.

[@randybryant9936]

Miss your vids need more

[@Barrenchats]

I had to tap a chassis frame bolt thread out I found a ratcheting tap drive was super fast FYI the best lube I have ever found was Jet Lube 12/34 I use it on all my new and used tools to protect the grease and keep them from rusting has so many uses that it's crazy I know of ppl that use it as gun lube on 90 year old rifles WD is ok 12/34 is on another lvl spray it in a parts bag so they part dont get surface rust even after years!! it will be in prefect shape

[@sajjber]

Hi Bigboost. on your rx7, pretty sure if you plug in the blow of valve again your idle would be working again, hade the same issue on several turbo cars.

[@salimnohesit9887]

we miss u

[@e90lownslow14]

i watch turbo build videos but i dont own a turbo. lol knowledge is key my friends.

[@georgeg5104]

Just a thought, As an 68 yr. old Nitrous guy X street racer from the 80-to90's. Look at the piston crowns and exhaust ports of his engine. Looks like too much fuel and way too much timing taken out but what do I know. Love that the guy is a working Tech. Some great content.

Zumba!!!!!! El duro Dr. BigBoost 💪🏻

[@theXbaT1]

Running 750whp on 10mm studs for 3 years. Get a athena coopering gasket and retorque the bolts after some time

[@06general066]

Yup. Probably too much ignition timing or something. I don’t have these problems even with mls. Cutring should give no trouble for sure.

[@theXbaT1]

@@06general066 He also should have resurfaced the block, not just the head. Its like a good roule to resurface top and block when you blow a headgasket.

[@Jakedelus]

I dont understand this what Alberto is doing. Why try to cover real problem In engine or tuning. 10mm studs/bolts works just fine in 900hp engines if tuning is right+Cooper ring and both surfaces is done. Im sure that he blow gasket again sooon with those 11mm studs if tuning is Same.

[@theXbaT1]

@@Jakedelus Yeah It may blow when he start to turn it up again. I do not understand why he does not do it the right way the first time...

[@turboroman]

I was hoping someone would bring this up. I'm building myself an m52 with m50 iron block, planning on 500-600bhp and of course I've done a shit ton of reading. If there was a real and known problem with headlift at these power levels, I would know for sure. I mean these motors in stock form hold almost 500hp with just a spacer and mls for a lot of people.

[@numinous4789]

Cool vid, man. Yeah, definitely take care of that VC while it's convenient. It looks rough.

[@frontspring1]

Boost I need to borrow that tool tmmw

[@crip6ns]

people wana complicate ya! great video alberto hope this one(engine build) does it for ya.

[@Jet3ch]

Very nice tutorial. Can this plate be used for other BMW apps like m54b30?

[@coryunferferth1767]

I wouldn't have used that reamer...the studs were pretty wobbly going in.

[@charlesmackiewicz]

Yeah I have never used a reamer before a tap. Just drill and tap

[@coryunferferth1767]

The threads peaks and valleys on the stud were way undersized compared to the threads in the block. When they get torqued down those threads are going to be incredibly weak.

[@nabilriahi4019]

I noticed that

[@Doogleraia]

Maybe just time to get a S54 for the E36? Keep hearing people say it's "as 2JZ as you can go and it still be a BMW engine", though I'm still in the M88-camp myself

[@johannesleek6160]

Mainfold the bmw n54 is like the modern 2jz tho, but i agree the s54 is an amazing engine with lot of potential

[@Doogleraia]

I'd argue it's not REALLY, simply for the different deck designs, where the S54 deck and generally the rest of the block is more similar in design-philosophy than the N54, but the N54 has it's uses (but folks have to get the open-deck plugging done for the big-big power).

[@johannesleek6160]

What i meant was that if u compare a n54 n a 2jz they can push almost the same without being built. The s54 couldnt handle that, it is a good engine yes but if its not built it will not handle the hp. If u were to compare the s54 n 2jz stock, they are very similar.

[@Doogleraia]

You're not gonna be pushing 2k+ hp on a N54 like a 2JZ, even the S55 people are mostly going in the mid-high 800's hp, whereas the S54 has been perfectly able to push north of 1000hp for years and years (after all it's been around for longer, more track-record and time to be a proven platform with more available mods etc). S38B38 is still the beastmode engine from BMW though.

[@johannesleek6160]

Mainfold i feel like we aint on the same lvl lol... i said stock not built. If u have a stock s54 nothing done to it -nothing- it wouldnt be able to push as much as a n54 or 2jz thats my point. The 2jz and n54 have turbo original and are overbuilt from factory. The s54 is na and therefor would need to be BUILT to get the same amount of horse. Idk the name but i really like the turbo 6 that is in the e23745 (or 735 i dont remember)

[@mx4eva41]

Nice video, you should definitely try a cut ring head gasket though. Been running 30psi out of a GTX35R with a cut ring and ARP 10mm studs with no issues for awhile now

[@frontspring1]

How do u run 30psi?.U running e85?

[@saltfarmer3910]

This. I love alberto but he should have done more research. These motors hold forever with 10mm studs and a CES Cuteing gasket.

[@mx4eva41]

Grab America by the Flaps yessir full E85, only way to go if you have access to it 😉

[@chasechevy8933]

I"ve stretched the 10mm ones before

[@saltfarmer3910]

It is also risky doing 11mm studs. The hole is prone to cracking the block. It has been shown that the standard studs at 85lbs with a cut ring gasket is the most robust solution

[@frontspring1]

Well the s54 block has 11mm studs and haven't heard of any cracking.the 2j also sports 11mm studs.

[@saltfarmer3910]

Grab America by the Flaps the s54 was designed for those studs, the oil drainage holes are moved out specifically to be further from the 11mm bolts/studs. On the m50/52 they are very close to the studs. I personally know someone who has had that issue even after chamfering the hole. I also know dozens of people running close to or over 1000hp with 10mm ARPs and a cut ring gasket. Including the first manual e36 to do an 8 second pass.

[@MaxFluff]

random question, what's the best way to learn Spanish?

[@donpresly4623]

People who are making 500 to 600whp with “stock bottom end” do 10sec pulls on the street not using it on the track

[@saltfarmer3910]

I know people drifting at around 500whp on stock bottom end. It’t pretty common actually.

[@S-Kidz]

That 1 mm makes all the difference. That what she said .. 😏

Ramon Villa savage

[@bimmergarage7044]

Not neccesary to do that... I know some people who did that and the block afterwards cracked to a water port in the engine.
