BMW M2 N55 Pure 500 Turbo Install! Faster Turbo Swap But Is It Any Good??

[@kaiichinose9590]

Went with a pure 750 for my 2018 M2 LCI and it was the best thing and gave me some headroom. I make 600whp with flex fuel and 520whp on 93oct. The n55b is an amazing engine.

[@Andknigh]

Are you on stock internals? I’ve been wanting to replace my turbo but nobody seems to talk about how much power it can hold without internals

[@kaiichinose9590]

@@Andknigh what model bmw and what year are you an EWG or PWG N55? I am in stock internals but I’m in a 2018 M2 LCI with the n55b 30t0 which received forged internals from the s55. So it has a bit more power and is a bit beefier. I’ve had no issues and car runs like an absolute dream.

@@kaiichinose9590 I have a 17 pre lci m2 im pretty sure they didn’t change anything powertrain wise from pre lci to lci if im not mistaken

[@kaiichinose9590]

@@Andknigh then you should be good to go. I haven’t had a single issue but I was very picky about parts and install and tune. Made sure it was dialed in. Been running like a champ.

[@TheSundaeDrive]

N55 definetely is a great engine. We have a stock internals standard N55 in our shop 435 making 550WHP on stock internals with no issues at all. 116K miles on the clock with about 20K on this build

Love my pure turbos

[@davidgrant1142]

With this being stage 1 can i continue with mhd 2+ and xhp or is mandatory for a custom tune

[@TheSundaeDrive]

To get the most power and performance a custom tune is the way to go. we are dealers for several custom tuners and would be happy to help you source a tune! should us a dm on our instagram instagram.com/tsdmotorsports

[@brentsabin3454]

Why would this not be an option for xdrive? I have a 2012 535 xdrive and was thinking about going with this turbo.

[@elkevin5888]

Different drivetrain since your all wheel drive meaning you’ll probably have limited room and access the the turbo and might have to remove subframe and other things as well

[@TheSundaeDrive]

It works on x drive as well but this install guide only applies to the rwd model. For xdrive, you need to support the engine, remove a motor mount, and possible drop the turbofold as well.

[@code6400]

Could I used this turbo on F10 535i 2011 manual trans? Thank you

[@TheSundaeDrive]

That has a PWG wastegate so you'll need to make sure to purchase a PWG compatible turbo. we would be happy to help you source one. shoot us a dm on our instagram instagram.com/tsdmotorsports

[@micraw714]

I have a Pure stage 2 on my F87 M2 and it was great until the turbo started leaking oil about a year later 😢

[@samsam_f87]

Who tuned your car and how much psi were you pushing it?

[@micraw714]

@samsam_f87 I was running 19-20 psi max on a 91 pump gas tune. I had just bought an mhd flex analyzer and N20 T map but she started leaking before I could install it lol. Tune was done by a pretty well known and respected tuner 🙂

[@samsam_f87]

[@micraw714]

@samsam_f87 hope not! Do you have the PS2 as well?

[@djpremium_squeaks-thetranc1353]

Where was the leak? Did you replace the gaskets and oil line at the time of installation?

[@colecummins5738]

damn this thing is sick

[@TheSundaeDrive]

thanks!

[@christianmulyadi1580]

How much horser power?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

We discuss hp numbers during the early part of the video

[@christianmulyadi1580]

Can the stock transmisssion can handle the power? For n55 pwg zf8hp45 , i hear the problem come to 5 6 gear

[@martypino5258]

Xhp stage 3 transmission tune

[@peterwood2633]

Great video thanks but cant help but feel missed opportunity to put the turbos side by side to see the differences! This install is probably thr Dinan method also? I think id want a bmw specialist to install it, my local garage is VAG mostly and havent done an N55 turbo swap before. Love the idea of the pure 500 as my car is my daily and dont want spool lag

[@TheSundaeDrive]

True! I think we have some photos we may post on our instagram @tsdmotorsports we would be happy to ship a turbo out to you!

[@leftdk284]

Your the firsttt; on the fence about investing in a ps2 or saving the $ and doing pure 500 & dorch hpfp for reliability 2013 pwg 335i

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Really depends on how easy of an install you want (if rwd anyways) and how much power you want to make. We have built multiple n55s to 530-540 whp on e85 with the pure stage 2. This particular customer did the tuning himself after the install so not sure how much power he made but he is also sticking with 93. This turbo is a good bang for your buck tho! Reach out to us on our website www.Tsd-motorsports.com and we would be happy to help you source the parts!

In the same dilemma, friend of mine has pure500 and runs 7.6 100-200 with just 99ron fuel 22PSI peak, 19psi at redline

Did he upgrade his fuel pumps?@@veldmannn

@@dyo228 nope all stock

[@chetisrael9840]

@@dyo228 The car in the video is mine-I have a Dorch Stage 2 pump. I usually run 93 but I do E50+ on track. Similar boost as the comment above

[@felixramos5808]

So if my stock turbo goes out, I can be safe with the p500 and an OTS tune?

[@phantomclaw9940]

yes you CAN be safe but wouldn’t recommend pushing it like that as the real differences between this and the stock turbo is the top end so thats where it could possibly have some issues

[@washableaxe]

Thanks for the video! Been mulling over the pure 500 for quite some time, its a question of “when” , not “if” for my F30 335i PWG. If you weren’t making a video, how long would you estimate this install would take?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

RWD is not bad at all, probably 6-8 hours taking your time. Xdrive probably 10-12. All depends on how much corrosion there is to deal with. We would be happy to help you source the turbo! Send us a DM to our instagram instagram.com/tsdmotorsports

n55+ is better, but good video i subscribe keep making content

Can we hear some before and after the pure turbo🔥?

[@B58luja23]

No

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Sadly this was on a customer car and we did not get before and after clips

[@gamerzskillz7780]

I’m trying to decide between Vargas GC or pure 750. Which company is better

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Personally I like working with Pure - We've had better experiences with them and the quality seems better. We would be happy to help you purchase either and ship to you. Shoot us a message through our website www.tsd-motorsports.com

[@gamerzskillz7780]

@@TheSundaeDrive yea my plan is to get that pure500 when ready. Got to get the dorch first. I’m willing to take the challenge and install it myself, since I’ve been doing my DV+

is there anywhere I can follow this build? I have been looking at the PS1 for my F87 M2

I'm not sure unfortunately since this was done on a customers vehicle. Would be happy to ship a turbo out to you or do the install if you are local!

[@13hzpodcast88]

@TheSundaeDrive Just got the 123511 Electric wastegate flap: sluggish code 😢 the shop said better to replace the whole turbo. I plan to do the pure 500 and gut it for track days and hillclimbs. Let’s give the ppl what they want and me that sponsor. 👀

Do you guys know if turbosmart is any different from pwg?

[@dylanpage4106]

What exactly is your question?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Turbosmart is a blow off valve while pwg refers to the wastegate. Too different components.

[@dookie177]

So... is it any good ?

[@TheSundaeDrive]

Customer handled the tuning on his own so not sure what his final numbers came out

[@chetisrael9840]

This is my car actually, P500 was a significant upgrade over stock. Stock-like spool and with little drop even to redline. Virtual Dyno puts it over 500whp on an E50 OTS map. I think this is the best turbo upgrade for track use (excluding the expensive TTE460, which seems about equal performance wise)

[@dookie177]

@chetisrael9840 that's awesome. I was looking at the 500 instead if the pure stage 2 myself . And it cost way less

[@chetisrael9840]

@@dookie177 I actually bought a PS2 but decided to install the 500 instead. No regrets here. But good luck with the build whatever you decide!
