This N54 Doc Race Single Turbo Kit Changes EVERYTHING.

[@VehicleVirals]

Glad to see you jump into the big single world. Like you said, you'll never go back!

[@ThicWhips]

Yessir!

[@Twiztid_Metal]

I still remember the days when you didn’t want to go past stage 1 or 2 on your 328i 😂. Love to see the work you’re putting in years later.m!

[@GKM5]

Legit lol

[@ThicWhips]

Appreciate it!!

[@rmnepro]

Crazy how this fighter jet was once a sitting shell. GREAT builds do indeed take time & you made a perfect example of that 🔥 Hoping to meet you this year & see the car 😢

[@ThicWhips]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Jager_135]

Could you possibly do a video breakdown on what supporting mods you need for a single turbo

[@topgun622]

I purchased a 6766 kit from DOCrace last year and purchasing more parts for my 2009 335i xdrive 6 speed manual and watching this video is inspiring. Makes me want to rush the build but I want to be patient and build it right too. Love you build bro.

[@SirtyDanchez]

Have you had any problems? Want to do doc race top mount also but I’ve heard some horror stories surrounding Doc Race. Started looking at speedtech bottom mounts too.

[@AnthonyGonzalez-zy5zm]

How is it on the AWD? I’ve been debating upgraded twins vs big single on my XI but the main thing that’s holding me back from the big single is the lack of DIY on the AWD platform.

[@Fasteddiebreakshearts]

🚥Looks so good sounds amazing 😎really happy for you and the build coming together 👍🏽

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks 👍

[@Jager_135]

I have been absolutely so in love with this build ever since the beginning I’ve been super hyped to see all the progress and your making my dreams that I want to do on my car come true on yours. Keep up the amazing work!

[@GlitchBomb]

Absolute Menace.. Body, stance, power.

[@arunmaraj5211]

This video made my morning with that turbo sound. Smiles man smiles

[@arisylpascal6865]

Seeing that 3rd pedal made this video 10x better🔥

[@Dardania07]

Bro this looks crazy good, also in the 1-series coupe platform, simply the best damn what a piece of art.

[@droque32]

Hey man, I'm genuinely happy for you and this build. I've enjoyed this journey so far and it's like watching a story unfold. Great job my man.

[@ThicWhips]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@AJUSA1]

Silver turbo, valve cover, manifold combo is DOPE!

[@FlixxMedia.]

Good morning thic, you motivated me to follow my dreams and create content like you. Started off doing edits and starting up slow and taking my time. Thank you

[@ThicWhips]

Go for it!

[@hawkhand6238]

Congratulations mr thic whips🤙 looks very nice, I can’t wait to see some pov videos of this thing ripping

[@ThicWhips]

Very soon!

[@Broke-Media]

Sounds and looks INCREDIBLE. Lowkey pitched a tent👀

[@elunicoguapo1125]

My search for a good base 135i to use for my 1M clone has started. Thanks 😅

[@bilbofr4ggins646]

12:35 opening scene of Topgun. That raw billet aluminum theme is beautiful, job well done brother! 👏🫡

[@princexavier4895]

14:11 yes I did think you were gonna make me wait for the next video 💀

[@RavenStack]

Doc Race is really the best, sounds amazing. 👍

[@rolando104]

I liked the side notes you added during the build. Nice work!

[@ItsKhazzz]

Hell yeah, I just finished up my single turbo swap last night and should be doing the first start later today when I’m home from work. It’s a completely new setup and I’m pretty nervous tbh😬😂😂

[@ThicWhips]

Good luck!

[@DKazFPS]

She sounds AMAZING 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@evanramacciotti4803]

Dude that looks, sounds, and must feel insane!

[@ThicWhips]

It does!

[@mohammedqayyum1140]

This is arguably the CLEANEST N54 powered vehicle on the internet

[@foreignzo_4641]

He got me thinking I was going to wait until next vid for sound clips 😂🤯

[@jaimehurtado356]

My absolute favorite kid of videos! Amazing work congratulations 🤞🏼

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks so much!!

[@Wh0_Me_B58]

Bad ass bro. Miss my N54. You just made me want to void my warranty on my b58 and buy one. 😅

[@mkvB58KING]

NGL I kinda stopped watching after you went a little older with the cars. Glad you're still making good content ✌🏼

[@ThicWhips]

Welcome back!

[@brokeitracing1320]

make sure you periodically retorque those VC bolts.. the VC like to loosen after a few heat cycles

[@anthonybaker1965]

Popping up all over my insta now my KZbin , love your build I aspire get mine like yours one day , next on the list for my e82 is the top mount conversion so loved seeing you install this , gives me motivation !

[@punkboy459]

lowkey I'm glad you didn't do S65 swap on that clean 1m clone build. Keep it that way!!

[@N5XBEVST]

Man I love this setup bro

[@r1zziiN]

I love the 1M build bro definitely one of my favorites keep grinding!

[@jesseplascencia4114]

Sounds hella good. I been debating on going single as well on my 335is.

[@homanmaster]

#levelup Trust the process! You killed it Jon! Can’t wait to see it in person

[@geran9990]

Sounds Noice 💥 (On a side note is a 320d 2012 n47, I think worth modifying ?)

[@marlonmanzano8380]

Nice turbo interior looks amazing also

[@Silver-Buchanan]

Been waiting for this one!!!

[@GKM5]

Seeing how far this has come and the work you've put in... i have to say, please please! Get that z build rolling! I can only try to visualize what that build would yield

[@metno_]

That thing is perfect dude

[@davewallace9048]

Now I’m questioning if I should install my Rob Beck turbos or just go single? What exhaust system are you running?

[@ThicWhips]

Supersprint rear, a custom / vsrf mid

[@james10165]

Almost went RBs on my 335is, but were backed ordered. Decided to go with Docs 6466 bottom mount kit and couldnt be happier with the power and reliability. I will say if its a daily driver (mine isnt anymore) twins might be the better choice for down low torque around town, but for power, simplicity and reliability single is the way to go.

[@s7efan90]

Perfect car perfect sound.. wooww😍

[@billybatts4061]

What a build!!! Beautiful car! My hats off to you!!

[@ThicWhips]

Thank you very much!

[@billybatts4061]

@ThicWhips Look very industrial under the hood which is super clean and I love that! And it's sounds crazy! I have a 2016 M4 and your videos give me a lot of ideas/inspiration! You have great taste and everything you do is super clean and tasteful. Big fan of all of your builds 👏

[@camswims67]

The black line tails look so nice on that bad boy

[@frann949]

incredible build, sounds amazing, my entire dream is there . rewards from argentina

[@frann949]

the most clean build also i viewed

[@JAKEYboii3]

If you had your time again and say 3-5 years timeframe instead of 1.5years. Would you keep it stock turbos and do the 1M conversion first, or use the money for the turbo kit and do the conversion later? Love the content - newer sub here

[@ThicWhips]

I would just wait until I could afford it all at once

[@Guilhermepalmeida]

Mind-blowing upgrade and the sound OMG haha that thing sounds crazy John haha. Keep it up man cheers😁✌️

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks! 👍

[@Speedster709]

This my goal this summer on my 135 . Still on stock twins & my car basically brand new with only 13k miles on it 😂only on a stage 2+ tune but I wanna go single so bad

[@Rochebuilt]

Love the build. How did you put the fan back in with the new radiator I’m trying to get mine to fit back in

[@ThicWhips]

A lot of finessing and patience lol

[@masonkenney6452]

Hey man quick question what valve cover are you using I love how it’s just clean with no branding!!!

[@beastboy890ify]

Dude that’s insane. If I didn’t watch this video and see the engine bay I would’ve guessed a pro charger lol

[@shawnalbarghouthi4113]

Sounds sick! How did it affect the lower end going from twins to this single?

[@youknowimwhite]

I LOVVVVED my old doc race 335i... that soooouuuuund tho 🤤

[@hollowtian6148]

Since you mention the single turbo is much easier and cleaner than twin turbo, would you say it’s more reliable? And how about the fuel consumption?

[@richmusick4881]

Yeah they are more reliable according to every mechanic I've seen or talked to

[@ThicWhips]

Yes on reliability, fuel consumption not sure because I’m going to be driving wot everywhere I go now 😂

[@yazeedpatel9564]

This thing is wilddd

[@whans9]

Looks amazing. Have you done rods and pinned the crank hub yet?

[@ThicWhips]

Yup

[@whans9]

@@ThicWhips nice, that’s gonna be an insane build. What oil are you gonna running now?

[@ThicWhips]

Motul 5w40

[@whans9]

@@ThicWhips fair fair. I’m currently running 10w-60 to deal with extra heat when making more than 20psi. But all depends on what climate you live in. Our winters aren’t lower than 12 degrees Celsius.

[@derrickeafford5047]

Nice use to have a 135 with upgraded twins sounded like this.

[@Brrraaad]

Sooo sick! Nicely done bro!

[@ThicWhips]

Appreciate it!

[@MickeyMonti]

Great video, keep up the good work 👏🏼

[@user-ns4eg9bt4x]

love your content bro! team n54

[@Mp-jw1qg]

all you need now is to ditch the index12s and go with a maxxecu setup.

[@469king528]

My guy listening to afrobeats in the shop just got my SUB 👍

[@ThicWhips]

Appreciate that

[@kalvinkalen3871]

For the long term, are you worried about those coils being that close to the exhaust side?

[@ThicWhips]

I think it will be ok, I’m going to heat wrap the down pipe when I convert to single bank 02

[@exiteternium]

the bremmen aluminum cover may come with a metal PCV but.. it SUCKS, you can blow right through it like nothing is there, i had to heat up the cap and unscrew it and put the VTTO PCV guts and black cap on it to make it work. cause the VTTO PCV doesn't fit without sitting there with a rifle chamber brush on the end of a drill and taking out a few though for a while..

[@marklinley815]

Like this car over the A90 supra, once it was completed?

[@WhatsyourForte]

BIG single everything.

[@ThicWhips]

Yessir like the Porsche lol

[@davidlee3203]

That's a sick engine bay love it looks so good I'm jealous lol

[@adventpako]

Excellent job

[@ThicWhips]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@hafoozabed8395]

Wow , exhaust sounds incredible. What is it made of?

[@ThicWhips]

Exhaust is stainless

[@mikespeed3928]

How much power did you make after this single turbo install?

[@deivyleon409]

Sick build subscribed

[@lMlIlKlE8D]

Fuck yeah, test drive on the same video

[@omerkurt9406]

Love the videos!

[@ThicWhips]

Glad you like them!

[@1laimmiss]

Let me know when u want to sell this 135 bro. I love it

[@allenmulvihill1454]

Looks amazing 👏

[@jermainejpshepherd2778]

Damn that sounds good!!!!!😱✊🏿

[@_UN54FE_]

I went with a motiv bottom mount kit but boy do you make me want to switch to top mount 😂

[@james10165]

Is it a twin scroll manifold? I have docs bottom mount kit with a 6466 turbo and cant complain it rips at 26 psi on full e85 but sometimes I feel I left some power by not going with a twin scroll manifold design.

[@kkeshav74]

Sounds sooo good

[@5dirty53]

What’s your pcv setup? I see the metal pcv in it, did you run that to a catch can and vent to atmosphere?

[@liamdharmapriya552]

Lmaoooo you got me there 😂 fire video 🔥

[@nickrbhrt7931]

Diesel version air scoop that points towards turbo? 🔥🔥

[@mikespeed3928]

How did you get the T51R mod? Is there a section you select before checking out?

[@suprabran]

Are you running the B58 spark plugs with the B58 coils as well?

[@SeanLau-m9x]

Did you adjust wastegate springs on the comp40s? are you just put them in as is?

[@supremegee]

Nice build

[@ThicWhips]

Thanks!

[@shottabraze9387]

i still can't get this manifold to work with the charge pipe

[@ThicWhips]

Why not

[@jessicaandtrains7768]

What's it like in the low revs with town driving?

[@Builtbycampos335i]

I’m planning to get a single turbo this year is that the best one ?

[@whaws]

I know you said DR offered you this kit. But what are your thoughts about the same iteration of the speed tech kit. Single wastegate design and a little more customization

[@ThicWhips]

Speedtech makes good stuff man, we see them all the time at the shop and they are solid

[@mike-ps2cb]

Get ready to burn some o2 sensors now

[@ThicWhips]

We are converting to single bank sooon

[@quintongrand]

beautiful

[@ThicWhips]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@cameron5764]

i grew up on this road haha

[@chriskendra7776]

are you looking to get rid of the turbos you had?

[@DavidCastro-ry4rz]

Can you some how put this same setup on the 135i n55 engine ?

[@icommandoi145]

Looks great but doesn't fit a RHD N54, steering rack is in the way.

[@adanmorales9214]

Will this kit works for an E89 N54?

[@stevengarcia6901]

Why did you go with the 6266 vs the 6466 or 6870?

[@HollowM2]

Didn’t want crazy lag and isn’t planning on going crazy power I believe

[@ThicWhips]

Good spool, good power for stock motor!

[@jovanyparedes7656]

Sexy car are you going with the rtd shifter?

[@samathmoeung4216]

How much does ces charge to put a turbo kit like that in?
