My man, because of your video, there is no silicone hoses left on amazon🤦🏻‍♂️

[@thomasmollura3449]

I bought some and the center line angle was too large on the 90

[@denalidriven1574]

Rk tunes

[@Skyx5m50]

Silicone hoses and brass T’s saved my turbos. Coolant was leaking bad because the plastic melted. Once I changed it it runs like money.

[@bryanderksen4448]

Nice clean installation! I appreciate the care to heat-bend the plastic panel so you have the option to restore it to OEM in the future. Nothing worse that a BMW attacked by a Sawzall

[@IKhanNot]

Actually the stock intake is just fine. All that one needs to do is put a 90 degree thermostat and reprogram the DME so the coolant temperature runs at 90 degrees instead of 105 degrees. It will result in less heat soak (which these N63s are known for). BMW programs the ECU on V8 motors to run really hot because it gets 1 MPG more but in the long run ruins all of the seals, gaskets and melts plastic parts.

[@piotrjanowiak2345]

Where did you get the thermostat

[@mquaschnick]

why haven't more people thumbed up this? I am very new to my 2014 550i xDrive... but this sounds amazing (almost too good)? I'll do more research, but thanks @7477238, at least, for the wild goose chase! Peace and F-that 1 MPG

[@MrRW88]

Because he lying

[@IKhanNot]

@@MrRW88 I'm lying how? BMW N63s are programmed to run at 105c to 115c (higher temps in eco mode) and that does lead to heat soak issues especially on a hot vee motor. Coolant line leaks are very common on those engines and the aftermarket makes a 90c thermostat. The customer reception has been good on that new part. Also are you going to deny CAFE and EPA stuff too?

[@ryxn98]

@@IKhanNot I’ve been dealing with the coolant line issue for a minute now, pretty much replaced the whole coolant system at this point. getting one of these after market thermostats that are programmed to sit at 95 can help prevent this in the future?

[@jwanbowden1689]

Thank you so much because I have a n63tu and legit no one has any types of videos

[@OBCblackhawk]

Does this actually net any real gain in performance? The size difference in the factory tubing and the fact it already draws air from the same location makes me wonder if you get any gains whatsoever. Would be awesome to see a head to head comparison on a dyno. I'm sure it sounds a bit different without the airbox though. I just wouldn't want to waste money on a mod that doesn't net any gains and have to fuss with fitment issues. Not saying anything against this buildup, its very cool! But I'd love to see some numbers if possible.

[@warpspeedracer]

Might do this for my 750i. Didn't know you could bypass the MAFs with JB4.

[@CN-uq5et]

Dude you're seriously the best, I can't thank you enough. About 3 of the things you have done in your videos are things I've been debating since I got mine last year but you got me off the fence 1000%. I have the exact same model/year/etc. Course, wish I would've gotten the XDrive version but hey, can't win em all. I did have one question, I'm getting ready to do the install of the JB4 this weekend, I am sure you are busy like anyone else but WHEN are you going to do the BCM install video? :) Again man, best video's I've seen for our model by far, super super super impressed.

[@Woo.f32]

Unless you have a custom tune that takes advantage of the lower watergate duty cycle from the added airflow, youll see no gains and only maybe better throttle response. All ots maps target a predetermined temp

[@AYO_KO]

Has anybody tried this with the ARM Motorsports Front Facing CAI?? I have them installed but the driver side intake is causing a whistling sound bc the cone isn’t perfectly in. Only reason the cone isn’t snug is bc the last elbow that puts the filter behind the kidney grille aims the cone at the strut bar/brace and makes it hard to get on. The kit also doesn’t come with the extra extension Split Mod used before attaching the filter. If anyone has the ARM Motorsports FF CAI for the N63, lemme know Edit: it was the PCV😂 the hose was lil worn and causing the whistling sound

[@Mrginger90]

amazing video super helpful. could you send me the link to were to get the piping and all? i have a 650i gran coupe im going to do it to. also how did you get the maf to work with the new piping?

[@jacky11222]

I am having a hard time understanding how other than looks this does anything for the cold air. The current system pulls from the same area the new ones do? You removed the inlet vents to push the new ones through into the radiator area. How’s the new hoses and filters really changing anything as far as air temp?

Noticed you haven't posted in awhile, the n63tu didn't blow up on you did it? Lol.
