Go with Hopwood Motorsports or Be Racing Tuning kit if you can. The Cx Racing kit; the turbo manifolds crack, included gaskets and hoses are garbage. The Blow off valve is junk, same as wastegate. The turbo charger is hit or miss. May or may not last you a year Hopwood motorsports kits are track tested and include literally everything. Be Racing's kit is high quality as well. Don't go cheap with a turbo build. Buy a good kit or assemble your own. This video is two years old, back when I was new to DIY turbo things. Now that I'm more educated with experience. I would not use this kit long term. That being said, the CX racing kit is a decent budget solution for people looking to learn. But not for avid enthusiasts. In a nutshell, I'm giving CX Racing free advertising, as they refuse to reply to me. This is my most viewed video. The turbo kit price has gone up as well, as they're selling a bunch. Heck them.

People who are viewing this video in 2024, this was my first ever turbo setup and second ever video of this car. I have learned a ton more, looking back I wish I knew as much as I do now. I feel I explained things fairly well for being an newbie, however. Now a days, the car is totally apart and is undergoing extensive modifications. I'm doing well and have my own little shop now. I'm still pumping out content for your viewing pleasure. The current build consists of an M52TUB28 that will remain NA with some modifications. I also have some M52B28 iron blocks that I'm looking to eventually build for boost in future. The later videos following the stock TUB25 turbo setup include details of the M52's and my current TUB28's. I have also gotten more comfortable on camera and have been uploading a decent amount lately. If you have questions regarding turbo setups for these cars, or other questions in general, I'm here. I appreciate all of my subscribers, you guys are like family. Thank You all for the support! -Tyler

M50 Intake swap make more na power to help with the turbo
@OLearysBMW4 жыл бұрын
Yes, a very popular mod. Since this video there's been a lot changes. With M50 intake manifold, you lose bottom end power but increases up top. I very reputable tuner has tested the M50 intake manifold and M54B30 stock manifold, and the B30 intake actually showed superior. I honestly think that was a boosted application as well. But if I'm wrong, it's NA and obvious as the M50 manifold I feel is better for boost. However, in high boost applications you'd want to source a different intake or have one built, as with high boost, the M50 intake concentrates air to only a select few runners, leaving un even distribution

What is that blow off valve? I have a Tial bov but it doesn't have that nice flutter sound
@OLearysBMW3 жыл бұрын
The BOV is fully tightened here, it never actuated. What you're hearing is compressor surge, once I let off the throttle, it shuts. The boost has to go somewhere, it's fed through the turbo backwards as the compressor wheel chops it up, giving it that flutter sound. You can really hear it in my exhaust video during the in-cabin footage.

How reliable is a setup like this? I own a 325i and want to go the turbo kit route but I want to build it conservatively for everyday use.. can anyone offer some advice?
@OLearysBMW5 жыл бұрын
The reliability of your car will be based on what components you've used and how conservative your tune will be. The car can last you a long time if built and tuned correctly. The biggest thing is to be sure the components you use are quality parts and will last. Before boosting the car, all maintenance must be up kept. You'll be adding extra stress to all major components. Stay safe and have fun, 👍

Hi mate..what is best engine for turbo...e46 330ci,328ci,325ci or e36 328i??? Many thanks
@OLearysBMW4 жыл бұрын
My personal opinion is that the M52TUB28, found in the 328 series E46, is the best engine. Better harmonics than an M54B30, less oil usage due to better oil control rings versus the B30, but also still has an forged crankshaft along with cast iron sleeves like the B30.
@OLearysBMW4 жыл бұрын
Second reply, the B28 in the E36 is another great choice. However, here in the US we have all iron block M52B28 E36's, minus Z3

Im looking into this same setup and im curious how you run the o2 sensors. do you delete two sensors and just have the computer tuned to run off only one pre and post o2 for all 6 cylinders?
@OLearysBMW5 жыл бұрын
The CX racing 2 1/2" downpipe has two bungs for upstream oxygen sensors. The factory downstreams are gone and mapped out from the DME. The 3" CX racing downpipe that connects to the 2 1/2" has one bung, I use that one for my AFR O2 sensor. Come tuning time, it's up to you if you wanna run a single upstream sensor, as your tuner can do that for you. Also good to keep in mind, is that the AFR oxygen sensor is recommended atleast ~36 inches away from turbo. A lot of people don't mind the distance but I followed the recommended instructions. Upstream sensors are also known as narrow bad, and downstream are known as wide band.
