Installing 17T Turbos for 600HP (N54) Final Part!

[@LMLracing]

Then you herd wrong if you planning on pushing anything over 500 + outlest & inlets is a must!! Great job

[@1ROWDY35]

The loudness of your turbos also depends on how aggressive your timing is, my stock ones had a fairly tame spool/whistle and once I went custom tune and tuned for 100ron the tuner upped the timing and the turbos became way louder

[@17t135i]

Thanks for your videos, I have got 17ts from viv sitting here ready for my 135i

[@menjicar]

Nice 👍 so far 5k miles and still no issues 🤞

[@karamalshaikh738]

you ever install them and how are they if you did?

[@17t135i]

@@karamalshaikh738 yeah man, goes good, see my channel for vids

[@vmqxdv]

Yo any update? Have you run into any issues with those turbos?

[@friguy4444]

I really dig your videos! Thank you! I want to ad though that those down pipe clamps aren't rusty. That's the color they are from new. They are (or were lol) perfectly fine to reuse. Oh well. I don't really expect or am wanting any more sound from the turbos but I'm wondering How Much Power are you making with them? Even on a MHD OTS tune? Are you running E85? I guess I'll check out a few more of your videos and see if you let us know. Thanks again!

[@davewallace9048]

ECS tuning did the same thing to me with the turbo clamps!! Too small!!

[@menjicar]

Foreal got me wasting my time trying to fit them

[@6mtcruiser]

hey bro nice video. just a quick question, does clutch and turbo replacement labor overlap? does it make sense to do one without the other?

[@Nas1z]

can i install them with the stock intercooler intakes basically everything is stock if yes how much power will i get if i run it on low boost (safe boost)

[@24thecrush]

Did you adjust wastegates arms before install ? and how the turbo are performing since ?

[@menjicar]

I was going to adjust them but they came within specs so I didn’t adjust them. 30k miles later front turbo is leaking will take out one of these days and make update video

[@24thecrush]

@@menjicar thank you for your update really appreciate it !

[@tx390]

Heya, good content just subscribed! I noticed you're running 6mt, how is the clutch holding up? Oem unit? Have you had it tuned yet?

[@menjicar]

I recently replaced the clutch to the 550i clutch and Single mass Flywheel. Because it was slipping at about 20 psi. And I just flashed the MHD v5 map e40. Almost done breaking in the clutch to see how it holds up

[@tx390]

@@menjicar awesome, be good to see how the 550i clutch holds up. Looking forward to more content dude.

[@julioalvarez489]

Hey how do you get a custom tune because rn I have MHD 2+ because I Want to get upgraded turbo and keep up the good work

[@MG-gu6jg]

you can get a custom tune through mhd. just need a custom tuner who will work remotely with mhd and you send them logs

[@julioalvarez489]

@@MG-gu6jg Thank you information 🤙🏼

[@ColdVsIce]

Can I put on these turbos without a custom tune? Just with MHD stage 2?

[@MG-gu6jg]

@@ColdVsIce Yes I have mine on mhd 2+ but it will run better on a custom tune

[@emdot317]

Did you unbolt the sway bar or rack to get the subframe that low?

[@menjicar]

Yeah just the 4 nuts to let the sway bar hang

[@emdot317]

@@menjicar thank you!

[@cooperqueen8573]

[@chrisgutierrez9441]

Did u ever find out why they rattleted?

[@chrisgutierrez9441]

I installed my 17t 6by6 and im only hitting 6 psi with a 30ff code

[@juancastilloperez3801]

Whats your exhaust set up sound nice 👍

[@menjicar]

Thanks 🙏 it’s basically straight piped with stock mid resonator

[@cooperqueen8573]

how did you just drop the subframe without removing it completely

[@joshuaquilliam2887]

Brace the engine from above so it can't fall. Then you remove the motor mount bolts to subframe, also unbolt the 6 subframe bolts holding to the car body. Let the subframe hang from the suspension, it won't go anywhere because the coils and struts are holding it to the car along with the control arms. Just be careful about the steering rack and lines. My car is an xdrive so it may vary a bit, but if I can do it on my car, rwd must be a breeze.

How are they holding up so far bro?? How do the 17ts sound , Also do you have an link to them

[@menjicar]

They are good so far about 5k miles. Recently replaced clutch because it was slipping from the extra power

[@BMW1M]

Not sure what made you thin k this setup will do 600hp, but it won't. I have been through 2 sets of these turbos. Even at 24 PSI and E40, with inlets, outlets new index 12's etc etc etc they managed 444whp. If you want big power you're going to need WMI or PI, upgrading the LPFP alone is just not enough - there is simply no way the stock direct injection system can support 600 brake. not a chance.

[@menjicar]

Well SWAP DEPOT MADE 568WHP on these turbos pretty much with a stock fuel pump,OTS MAP, and stock fuel pump and FBO. 🤔 So something is not adding up 😂go check out the video

[@BMW1M]

@@menjicar I am aware of Ali’s video. I don’t buy it, i reckon they had a bad dyno config. Their slow dragy’s also back that up

[@menjicar]

@@BMW1M 🤷🏻‍♂️ that’s what I went based off of 😅

[@BMW1M]

@@menjicar yeah cool. Sad there is so many dyno’s out there configured to make people feel good rather than report accurate power.

Hey how did these go?

[@menjicar]

They have been good. Have about 30k miles on them.

[@n54supreme]

Wow that's awesome. Did you get them balanced at all? I love your channel bro

[@menjicar]

@@n54supreme I didn’t balance them. I installed them straight out of the box 😅. It’s my daily.. however I’ve only had it on MHD Stage 2+ e50 flash. Which is about 20 or 18psi of boost.

Any tips or advice at all before I install mine? Mines a rhd as I'm in australia
