BMW N54 Direct Fuel Injectors! How, When, & Why?

[@DJ-pz4ur]

Great video as always, bro - But shouldn’t you be putting the injectors in the bank within 30 seconds of removing the seal covers, to prevent the seals from expanding outside the bank?🤔 The seals should only expand whilst inside the bank to create a perfect seal inside the bank - That’s why they come with the metal seal covers to keep them compressed until immediate installation is required

[@DayOffDIY]

I got em in there pretty quick after pulling the covers, and I actually didn’t know that it was a time sensitive thing, but zero issues so far!

[@redrobotdubz]

New injectors make such a world of difference

[@DayOffDIY]

it was a night and day difference, literally!

[@SahilGondhedekar]

The exhaust sounds so good!😍

[@DayOffDIY]

It sounds great!!!

[@AB-jk7tw]

I’ll stick with my n52 engine, less power for sure but so much easier to work on, more reliable and way less complex.

[@DayOffDIY]

i agree 100%, however the power of this N54 is supeerrrr addicting lol

[@Olaipai]

Man, I just love tuning in and chill to your videos. Glad you took my tip and changed the ignition coils! Really enjoy your content Alec. Much love from Norway!

[@DayOffDIY]

that means SOOOO MUCH TO ME! Thats my goal, make content you can relax to, but also learn something from! Cheers!!!

[@Olaipai]

@@DayOffDIY Happy to hear that! From my point of view, you have definitely succeeded in that! I just learnt so much from your bodyshop video! Going to refresh my front fenders, bumper on my E46 and side skirts so that will come in really handy! 😍

[@DayOffDIY]

AWESOME! That body shop video had soooo much good info in it! Good luck on the body work!

[@andrewgarcia3136]

you got that thing sorted man nice work!

[@DayOffDIY]

Shes been my daily for the last 2 weeks! been sooooo fun!

Only found your channel recently (the giveaway build video was suggested on my homepage) and am loving it the channel and the energy. Honestly, it was so disheartening to see that your recent videos barely get numbers. Wish you growth and success, may the gods of the algorithm smile upon you :)

[@DayOffDIY]

This comment made my day! Thanks Kirill! Just gotta keep going and hope people find my channel and enjoy ME in the content :) Just gotta stick with it. Hope you stick around!!!

[@AndrewArguello335]

Really great content! I’ve spent more than an hour watching video here in Atlanta! Keep it up!

[@DayOffDIY]

Thanks for the support, super pumped you're digging the content!

[@tehedx]

Nice content Alec! Always aiming for improvement. I like the video editing style update :)

[@KeVonBouVie]

Great content

[@DayOffDIY]

thank youuu!!!!

[@phgodts]

The main reason for the injectors to leak or stuck open is dirt in the fuel line (mainly caused for riding with low gas). Adding a secondary fuel filter can avoid or postpone this issue

[@DayOffDIY]

thats a great idea

[@robhudson5498]

Thank for the great content. You are the man. I love the commentary 😂

thanks thiago!

Nice work

[@DayOffDIY]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Mikejones51046]

Cool video bro. I think you did the install wrong though. You need to get the injector seal tool kit. The seals are a bit oversized to ensure a snug seal. You use the tool and it will give you about 30 seconds to pop the injector in before the seal starts to widen. Hope you don’t get any blow back

[@DayOffDIY]

no blow back yet! I installed the injectors shortly after pulling the metal caps while the teflon is expanding, I havent seen a tool for it before, so far so good!

[@Mikejones51046]

@ nice 👍🏼 I once used Teflon tape on a used injector I installed from eBay. It gave a really snug fit on the two points where the seals are. Excited to see more on this car. That must be a great feeling once you get that thing 100% mechanically sound and then start to do cosmetic surgery

[@JohnLampson]

I'm only watching because of the sound of your voice (and Sage)

[@DayOffDIY]

HAHAH my man!

[@serhanarslanturk6426]

Hey Alec, How are you doing man? You look sooo much better on this Video. Happy to see you like that! Nice Video love these e90 Videos. Thanks as always and stay healty! Mine needs some love too but sadly the time is missing atm. Parts are ready but nobody wants to throw em in atm xD Wish you were here in Germany i would be your first customer 😂 ✌️

[@DayOffDIY]

Serhan!!! Im doing quite well thanks for asking. Busy with the holidays but work is picking up and so is the channel. I got some more E90 content coming soon, replacing the control arms on the 335i next week! stay tuned! Be good my friend, cheers!

[@bogusienombre355]

Happy Thanksgiving Alec!

Happy Holidays bogs!

[@30guarino]

Love these videos! Your subscribers would love an ISTA tutorial ....Btw Currently purchased used index-12 and fuel pump to install while my car is put away because $2400 and $1200 for those at FCP euro is a bit too pricey for 2008 vehicle.

[@DayOffDIY]

its crazy how expensive these injectors are... I sent my used ones to my buddy mario so he can rebuild and clean them and try them for his 135i, he cant afford new either, neither could I but luckily FCP Euro helped me out on this one

[@bogusienombre355]

Those injectors came with Teflon seals pre-installed?

yup, you pull those metal caps and the teflon expands

[@lieutenantdan8170]

The N54 Piezo injectors are superior to the solenoid injectors that replaced them, it's a shame the N54 had such bad luck with them and caused BMW to drop the technology.

[@dartanionallen4575]

obviously you have never used thier lifetime replacement or you would know that you have to purchace it again and then they give you a credit that you can only use in house. so unless you are a shop or your car goes down frequiently (N54 owners know what i mean) then you definetly purchased that twice and they definitly had questions, questions like whats your vin

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

why do you (and others) need to insert the serial number of the injector? in my head, it doesn't make sense...

[@tehedx]

It's to activate the license, otherwise they'll stop after the trial period of 30 days. Joking aside, they vary a bit in how much they spray. These compensation codes tell the ECU how much.

[@DayOffDIY]

yeah so its to help the computer compensate spray pattern between all 6 injectors, i believe they are given that number during testing at the factory, so its to help the computer even out the compensation values between injectors to make them even after install

[@nonameyoutuber-l2r]

BMW will never learn to build a car

[@showoffgod7617]

They’ve made a lot of really good cars

[@246alfa]

Place the injectors on a testing stand. Checks for 5 minutes.
