How to Build a Full Bolt-On N54 *Over 400HP*

[@chrisallen7576]

I made 624 whp just by changing my blinker fluid and my muffler bearings. BMW’s are the best

[@peakerpolo10]

chris allen lol

[@rashadarbab2769]

Rookie numbers! From factory the crankshaft and the cam shaft comes installed the wrong way around. You want to switch them around and put your cams in the bottom and the crank on the top. I got 1000hp to the wheels. I also took the wing off of a civic type R and put it on the hood so my car doesn't wheelie when I launch it.

[@chowtownfoodreviews6679]

Thats crazy damn i need to do that

[@thegunshow9112]

Muffler bearing are underrated

[@Tewty11]

Not running the Bluetooth crank yet?

[@mohammedramirez6574]

Things to do 1. Chargepipe 2. Oil catch can 3. Catless downpipes (catted if restricted) 4. Intercooler 5.MHD stage 2+ 6. relocated inlets, I haven’t done mine because I plan on upgrading turbos so I won’t have to do it twice because it’s a pain in the a**.

[@steffenscheibler5849]

You do not need to relocate the intakes. Not for anything under 700-800hp. It makes no difference to power and the throttle response isn't noticeably better. Uprated inlets in the original location is much a better option as its way cheaper, way easier and they allow the stock turbos to get more air so they are under less loads whilst delivering the same boost. So this is a mod to improve longevity of stock turbos and is a necessity for bigger turbos if your aim is to hit 500-700hp. If you plan to drive hard, you need to uprate your oil cooler, especially if you live in a hotter climate. Even if you live in a cooler place, you need to cool your automatic transmission if you have an N54 with a slushbox auto.

Tried to blow that little hair off my screen lol

[@SpencerBerke]

Solid video dude!! Legit. Learned some good stuff here.

[@peakerpolo10]

thanks fam! Now you're a certified N54 master

[@SpencerBerke]

I’m the captain now

[@alexs3958]

Haha I love this little thread

[@chrisa9999]

Excellent video, totally helped an old school guy like me to understand and unleash my my n54!

[@franksalazar7139]

I have the 5'cooler, charge pipe, duel cones intake, 3" inlets. I would love to have the downpipes, but in California I will never be able to pass smog check again. I feel and see the power improvement.

[@mohammedramirez6574]

Bro I have all that too except intercooler and the difference to going catless is insane but there are also high flow cats you can get so you can pass smog and if you have a 335i with the N54 motor it has secondary downpipes which you dont feel as much power gain as the downpipes but it still will gain a little hp and it passes smog test

[@jermainepearson6835]

I had an E93 335i i have FBO going with MHD +2 from stock.. it should be fun

[@STEVEN-GULLA]

Great video thx man, TO everyone who what's to work on his n54 KEEP IT STUCK NOT WIRTH IT

[@Rikztito7]

Very informative video man and well explained, good looks ! Turned what might seemed so complex to some people into easy to comprehend information !

[@peakerpolo10]

Thanks bro! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@callanotis7902]

Cant forget inlets!! ik there a pain but your losing out just doing cold air intakes factory inlets are very restrictive

[@jasmee93calzada80]

Good video, great tips.

[@peakerpolo10]

jasme E92 calzada thanks!

[@brent4770]

Any idea how much a walnut blast is??

[@slown5414]

Im fbo rn running mhd stage2+ do you think i can achieve 400whp with only e85 mix? And also would running e85 mix everytime harm the fuel pump? What mix percent would you recommend? Thank you!!

[@peakerpolo10]

Mandrake ZL definitely! The max I would go on a healthy stock fuel pump is like e25. Upgrade your low pressure fuel pump and you can run up to e60 which will feel amazing. Here’s the one I recommend: n54builds.com/collections/frontpage/products/n54-stage-2-lpfp-e85-compatible

[@Guitarman81092]

You should already be at 400whp with stage 2+ and being fbo

[@Guitarman81092]

(On 93oct)

[@slown5414]

Yeah i only run 93, but what u mean by e25,,sorry man im still a newbie about this fuel mixture stuff

[@Guitarman81092]

E25 is 75% 93oct fuel in your tank and 25% e85. Same thing goes with a e30, e50mix etc.

[@1Donkeykong]

hey man, love the vid... i noticed in the comments lots of people asked about emissions with this car. since its a year later, i was wondering status on if it passed. im about to get some and was wondering! Thanks man

[@jacobbrown9485]

Full Bolt On kit costs 965$-etc

[@donovanh5679]

You mention aftermarket inlet & outlet upgrade to improve turbo airflow. Wonder if you can list the ones that you use if your 335i build?

[@Scrappy3457]

That’s a charge pipe bro

[@evanstutzman988]

Stock boost??

[@oscardegarza]

Good vid Bro keep up the great work!

[@peakerpolo10]

Thanks bro! ❤️

[@B0JACK]

Is the trouble or running catless downpipes worth it in cali?

[@SydeshowMO]

What trouble LOL?

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

Hey, What are the thoughts on the DCI now that you have had them in a while? Heatsoak a non issue on335i? Is it sluggish taking off with the DCI?

[@peakerpolo10]

Sohail A I noticed a small difference in turbo spool when I switched to them. It was a few hundred rpm less than the stock air box. When air goes through turbos it gets extremely hot, your best bet is to spend money on a quality Intercooler

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

@@peakerpolo10 and just avoid DCI altogether?

[@peakerpolo10]

Sohail A you should get them. More air flow=more power. DM me on Instagram @parkerrepp and I will send you discounted DCI

[@RomeoGoesRetro]

@@peakerpolo10 hey. Yeh I totally misinterpreted your comment! I thought you were against! But you are saying they are a positive! I will get the DCI and the intercooler.

[@peakerpolo10]

Sohail A use those links and discount I put in the description! Those are the cheapest prices you find 👍🏼

[@kenalexander3046]

Nice video! Thanks, keep it up.

[@joeys3580]

Did you notice a worthwhile difference from Stage 1 to Stage 2+?

[@peakerpolo10]

Joey Sciammas I went from stock to stage 2 and that was a big difference. I never did stage 1

[@Fatih308]

What do I need to run e85 ? On my n54. Also what is running meth mean ?

[@yoiinkHD]

Methanol injections

[@monarch2439]

Mad helpful

[@HajtoTimaSek]

The problem is that octane number does not really provide power. The higher the number the more timing you can put. So if you are running 93 tune on 91 I would check wether knock is not happening

[@DankMan714]

Good vid bro

[@chowtownfoodreviews6679]

Ik running a e60 tune 2-1 2gallons of e85 to 1 gal of 93

[@FinnyG47]

Walnut blast should be mentioned as well.

[@peakerpolo10]

[@Sanmanlion7]

do you think I could get by with MHD stage 1+ on the stock FMIC?

[@bromero947]

Don't do it I tried it and it was not running good.

[@n54andrew]

Why would you do that bro ? Just buy an ebay intercooler at the very least ! Trust me you dont want to cut corners on this car ! Just do things the right way and it will treat you right most of the time lol kinda

[@alminsmajkan7040]

I’m running stock Fmic with 1+ as long as you don’t do consecutive pulls during warmer days it’s fine

[@vinnied1281]

Been running 1+ for a year and it’s totally fine. Don’t do a shitload of pulls in a row. You’ll be fine. Car will retard timing as needed as IATs go up.

[@Sanmanlion7]

@@vinnied1281 mosfet drivers need replaced and cannot find anyone to do it 😭

[@GrizzlyClone]

Does your car still pass smog when you removed the cats

[@Zerosvfx]

PineappleClone depends on which state you live in

[@imSyrahh]

What about plugs and coils? Dont you need to upgrade them since the stock ones are not meant for the tune? Nice video btw!

[@peakerpolo10]

Syrahh thanks! Yes I’d recommend NGK one step colder plugs and Delphi coils

[@sunpacbrolygokuzu3609]

I've been running MHD stage 1 on stock coils and plugs for nearly 2 months and all is good. But mind you, my 335i only has 55,000 Km's, and i also have Eldor coils and fresh Bosch plugs on hand just in case.

[@bigmarc977]

I run OE BMW plugs, Delphi coil packs 5" stepped ARM fmic 1.75" vrsf inlets BMS charge pipe BMS DCI Stage 1+ MHD tune Been running fine for 2 months now, I did my plugs and coil packs right before I did my tune. That's really the key is to make sure that their brand new and keep refreshing them

[@MrNiceGuy7787]

How are you passing smog with catless downpipes? I'm in Cali too and I've been looking for an alternative to buying a replacement stock cat

[@peakerpolo10]

SirTerrible I haven’t smogged the car with the catless downpipes. I did it before I installed them. Try finding someone that does a dirty smog 👀

[@trackdayjunkie7777]

In my country we have pretty strict emssion rules. But you can pass with catless DPs if you retain the mid cats

[@Byebye7272]

$300-600 to pass smog in Cali

[@blitzy3244]

Can someone explain to me how all of these car KZbinrs like Freshslicks or whatever have their own personal garages? Are they rentable units?

[@edwinoldingmusic]

Would you start with a 325 or 335?

[@peakerpolo10]

AKINA BOY I’ve only owned a 335i, if you have the money I say go with a 335i. It’s a lot of fun for the money

[@uhwh4t]

Parker Repp how much money is “the money” like what’s the threshold where you’d consider 335 instead of 325
