I use costel 17t’s now for 22k km with zero issues. Might be due to the change from stock location to relocated inlets though.

Zero To 60 - just on one side. At the cv joint area near the diff. I think you can get aftermarket/ thicker shafts on sites like ECS tuning. Apparently M3 shafts need fabrication. But they are much beefier. Made a very loud break. Maybe just push them until one breaks :-)

Cool video guys. I've boost limited 1 and 2 via mhd so i dont smash the rev limiter and it freaks out like your video. Id love to know if people are doing it the other way around and using xHP torque per ger in 1 and 2 maybe 3 for you guys now 👍 I just dont know if xHP will limit torque using the throttle? (I dont imagine that will work well) I estimate from logs torque in 1st should be around 350, 2nd around 450 which is lower than xHP suggests. Thoughts anyone?

Anything tuned for stock turbos won’t hold boost up top. Get a couple new revisions from rfp and dial in the jb4 settings. You’ll be setup. Love the series. Best N54 content on KZbin. Edit. Saw end of vid. Jsr is good too. Look forward to it.

Thanks for tips and following along. It's been a bloody awesome build. I'm going to try and convince the MHD only car thats on the channel a fair bit to do the same turbos. So i'm thinking it would be really interesting to compare a JB4 car and MHD only car with these cheap turbos.

just crank the engine with no injectors for 5-10 seconds. on this sort of turbo tho, its not the end of the world. Once the engine is running the turbos will have oil pressure with in a second. So they dont really have time to get hot or damaged before the oil gets to them

If you break them because you not tuned properly don’t blame it on the turbos ,you are making a big mistake running them without proper tune,you pulled so much timing on that pull ,that you had a throttle closure and i bet you hpfp went to like 60psi ,you need a bov to let the air out so so it doesn’t smack against the turbos and ruin them !!!!

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

You might need to elaborate a little here please? Where are you seeing the timing pulls and throttle closures? I haven't loaded the car up to do a proper 3rd gear full load pull for a log yet, so curious what you are seeing that is of a concern? Dont forget the car is JB4 running boost control and port injection, with a custom full e85 tune for 20psi on the stock turbos. Boost limit was set at 22psi for this drive.

[@imthat328]

I definitely saw 19psi

Use Map 5 auto tune

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Auto tune or map 5 is really set up for the BMS back end flashes. This car has a custom full e85 flash and port injection. So i'm not sure how that autotune feature will really go down.

[@jungoh3485]

Get a custom tune

The driver looks, sounds, and acts exactly like a typical 335i driver. These guys are the best prey I go after with my MKIV Supra, because their reactions after I destroy them on the street is priceless. Lol!

lol.....

Next project, 6mt swap

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

ohhhhhh i really wanna get the auto tuned a bit better first. Dont tell anyone, but i want to send it down a proper drag strip and see what the stock auto will do with this setup.

[@jakegoldberg8941]

@@ZeroTo60Tube DCT swap it its way better.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

​@@jakegoldberg8941 huge fan of the DCT, i would do that before a manual in this car.

[@jakegoldberg8941]

Zero To 60 if you want to do it let me know. One of the only people in the US who has swapped one.

[@bigmarc977]

I suppose you knuckles need a break anyways! But just ask Vehicular DIY himself! 6mt swap, best decision he's ever made!

[@eriqrosado3337]

Please do pulls with a mic in the bay so we can hear more ssstuttutututru wwwwhhhhuussshh.... so happy to see you guys almost shitting yourself’s lol. Great job all around you guys. Really keep me interested every step of the way and I don’t even have a N54 to play with myself. Can’t say it enough great job. Looking forward to other projects and more up grades to this bad ass car! 🤘🏽🔥👍🏽🚗💨

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Dude, that you for following along. We are already talking about ways to capture the sound this car makes. To be honest it always sounded a bit flat before, but that has changed.

[@eriqrosado3337]

Zero To 60 thank you for making such great content that isn’t so stale... 😝 keep killing it!🤘🏽 ppssshh hoping 🤞🏽for that single spoolyboy is coming soon, wanna talk bout extra cool noises... you guys should look into maxpeedingrods.com not sure if they make a kit for the n54 but they do offer tons of turbos, turbo kits, pistons, rods, coil overs, all types of stuff at great coast. I also don’t see why they wouldn’t work with you guys cause you make such awesome videos and great step by step with out putting people to sleep. lol. But still can’t wait to actually get to hear what you guys got to experience firsthand. 🤘🏽🤙🏽🔥💪🏽🚗💨💯🙏🏽
