What you NEED to go STAGE 1 on your BMW? Do you really NEED to upgrade your CHARGE PIPE?

[@ayyyman_]

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoyed the video! Please drop this video a like and let me know in the comments if you’ve ever had issues with your charge pipe!

[@JordanLagoFilms]

Been watching so many of your videos and there are all so great and have so much information! I just picked up my 2015 435 few days ago and now will be watching all your videos for future car mods. You build is amazing👍🏻

[@ayyyman_]

I’m so glad to hear! Congrats on the 435i. They’re amazing cars honestly and such good bang for the buck these days

[@JayyEVee]

Simple answer - Yes to avoid detonation of-said Charge pipe. Been there done that as I couldn't wait on pipes to arrive to get a better throttle response.. If you are going to tune and overboost - you better replace that plastic garbage asap, as simple as that..

[@ayyyman_]

Agreed!!!

[@suazzz3070]

Love the b48 stuff not all of us have the 6 cylinder

[@ayyyman_]

Very true. I love the B48 so far honestly. It has a lot of potential too

[@gabrielmendrano8568]

Great video thank you for this. I have not a clue about cars but I want my 2016 328i xdrive to be a little quicker so this helped a lot

[@ayyyman_]

Glad I could help!

[@AaronL11]

Definitely upgrade that charge pipe me personally I did that and changed sparks and coils I also have intake bout get that downpipe in for stage 1+

[@-GA-MancsFinest]

normally for a consistant performance a upgraded intercooler is always better,cooler air = denser charge i think when IAT's are about 70c it starts doing a lot of timing corrections ,not really a issue on motorways runs as the air does its job, but stop start 1 hr commute the car feels slugish for me i have a n54 335i and a f33 440i b58,the b58 for stage 2 only needs tune /downpipe an hpfp upgrage for around 480hp about 400 at wheels ,i will probably still upgrade my charge intake hpfp ,metal is always better than the plastic crap

For the N20 charge pipe is needed same plastic crap as the 435 and just as much of a pita to install as well.

but should you not get the charge pipe and intake on the b48 anyways, i got a 330i just charge pipe in MST intake on Saturday, but with pipe alone i can move quicker, throttle response improved.

[@marioalfonso1669]

Great videos! I have a 430i B48 coupe that I’m trying to put a blow off valve in and stage 1 can you give some advice 🍻

[@onlykeiran]

Did you end up tuning it?

[@jacksonstall118]

The B48’s have a recirculating valve and don’t have an option for a bov, the built up pressure is recycled. If you want more of that “turbo” noise you’ll need to put in an open box CAI

[@akbarbukhari]

Is a chip tune for stage one good or is flash tune is better . I don’t wanna go stage tune .

[@matthewprada4302]

Stages don’t really mean anything. It’s just a guideline to what you need to upgrade. You just need a reputable tuner and essentially a custom tune. I had a fiesta and it was either custom tune or off the shelf tunes. No in between.

[@ronellpemberton5402]

Just change the charge pipe on the N55... even if you are not planning to go stage 1 or higher. Mine broke on stock power. Lol

Hey i have a 430i with bm3 stage 2 with a catless dp + upgraded chargepipe, do u think id need anything else to support stage 2 or should the charge pipe + catless dp be fine?

[@ayyyman_]

Hey I haven’t looked into stage 2 in great detail yet but off the top of my head I think upgrading the spark plugs and ignition coils is a good idea!

[@bmdubyou]

Cooling is key…I recommend upgrading your intercooler

[@JayyEVee]

You're going to want an ungraded Intercooler and top of the line plugs imho. I'd also consider hardening the intake pipe section that 'leads up' to the intake pipe that is generally replaced when we do aftermarket Intakes. Also harden the boost pipe, sometimes overlooked.. Stage 2 is demanding on air flow - anything plastic is inevitable doom at Stage 2..

I just got a 2018 330i GT 2.0 TT and it’s my first bmw. I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ anything about these cars, but I want to work that HP up, and do a lot of other stuff. I got a carbon fiber Spoiler, A carbon fiber rear diffuser, a carbon fiber and M sport bumper, I have all those sitting in my house. The only thing I got on so far was the Spoiler, and I am getting ready to purchase a widebody kit for it as well! Anybody got any tips for me when it comes to getting a little more out of the engine?

Just subscribed! I'm in a tight bind and need to get a K-DCAN cable sent by this weekend. Bimmergeek can't get one here until next week. Any idea if one on Amazon could do stage 1?

[@JasonFalasca-ij1cx]

Why the rush? doing engine work & being in a hurry isn’t a great combination IME but ymmv. IMO better to wait a little longer for the proper parts/equipment/ et al. Than to get a cheaper or lesser quality piece just because it arrives quicker. Hope all went well!

[@kevalb5155]

Can you do Downpipe review, im hoping the smell and other side effects aren't to annoying. Also do I have to do a stage 2 with my downpipes or can I stick to my stage 1

It can if you tune it have have more but it’s better and safer with a downpipe

[@ernieramirez8878]

My mechanic told me that for a stage 1 I need to upgrade my spark plugs band the flash tune. I have a 2015 640i. What do you think?

[@ayyyman_]

That’s the V8 right? I’m not sure about those. For these cars they only really recommend that you change the spark plugs and the gapping of the spark plugs for stage 2. I even ran stage 1 for awhile and was fine. However I don’t know about the V8

[@ernieramirez8878]

It’s a in line 6 n55

[@ayyyman_]

@@ernieramirez8878 so same as the 435i. In my opinion, you’re good with the stock spark plugs for stage 1. I wouldn’t upgrade them until stage 2. That’s what I did personally, but totally up to you

[@ernieramirez8878]

Thanks bro! Love your rides!

[@t.orikay]

You need to do the intake (recommend Dinan), ignition coils, upgrade spark plugs to 1 step colder iridium, down pipe (not needed but recommended) and charge pipe with the tune. Seriously. You will misfire if you don’t upgrade the plugs and you need that airflow with the intake. If you don’t have the M sport air box, recommended you upgrade that too (extremely cheap) for the air flow.

[@argonovak3444]

Quick question, do I need to tune if I have a downpipe, airintake and muffler or will my car be fine with those upgrades and no tune, thankyou

[@Will-fs7oz]

You don’t but your not gonna get as much hp gains for the Downpipe. Intake and muffler don’t need a tune

[@iron_fist_king1463]

Hey indont know much about cars i googeld which motor the bmw 435i has it says f82 is that corect?

[@jacksonstall118]

That is the chassis code which represents your model year and body style. You probably have an N55 motor.

[@Gopokes20]

I have a 2019 330I xdrive would I need to upgrade my air intake to go stage 1 or just the charge Pipe?

[@jacksonstall118]

Also def replace the charge pipe if

[@jacksonstall118]

Also def replace the charge pipe if you’re going stage 1. the 330i charge pipe, while not as bad as the N55, is still very prone to cracking when under increased boost and even more so if you live in a colder climate.

[@jeffd2130]

How did this affect your gas mileage?

[@ayyyman_]

I definitely noticed a drop in MPG but if you do a multi map, you can just bounce between stage 1 and stock when you wanna save gas

[@frederickbenson5065]

does it make a difference being a 435d

Yes, diesel motor, completely different engine

Do you think its worth buying a tune if someone only planned on going stage 1?

I personally do. A flash tune feels more complete and thought out. There’s also more you can do with them like adjust burble settings, code out check engine lights from like a catless down pipe, GTS start up roar, etc.

[@titanspkr1]

@@ayyyman_ for sure. Thanks

[@JayyEVee]

There is no 'stage 1' with bolt ons, without a flash tune or piggy back tuner device to be fully honest here.. Bolting on things without a tune isn't going to do much - if anything in most cases. The tune itself tells the car what to do with the extra air, fuel, and whatnot. Otherwise you're feeding your car alot of air due to increased flow from the aftermarket bits - but it's not going to do anything more with it than the stock BMW ECU tune is ready to deal with. Now, slapping something like a exhaust manifold on or aftermarket cams - something hardcore machined to-do with the engine (not bolts ons) - sure you'll get some instant power increases. Yet you'd still get much more - with a tune that takes that all into account! That is what the aftermarket tunes 'do'. They configure the car to properly handle the increased air it's getting, and also allow the car to better mix that increased air with fuel to get optimal output. (this is why you hear things like 'running 91 tune, 93 tune, E85 tune', etc mentioned when someone says they are running a 'tune'.) GL and have fun - that's what it's 'really' all about!

[@eduardoherrera4302]

Does it really worth it? If it's my daily car (Consumption)

[@ayyyman_]

On my 330i I did a multi map tune so whenever I want good gas mileage, I quickly switch it to a stock tune. When I want a little more power, I switch it to stage 1. So I have the best of both worlds

[@prestonp.7094]
