N54 is honestly a bulletproof setup; these dorks just beat the shit out of them and never do maintenance of course an engine will fail in those scenarios. Take care of it and stay up on basics and you have a the best cost to power drivetrain possible imo

[@ThicWhips]

I have been thoroughly impressed with mine so far

[@Bussdownbandit]

Vehicle virals car just took a dump 😂😂 weak ass n54

[@punkboy459]

100% facts like teens kids and people who are poor can't afford keep up with them. I own a clean 750+ whp 335 no issues with 175k miles. Mint condition no hiccup at all.

[@khau.cr2]

⁠​⁠@@punkboy459Holy shit, congrats. 175k miles with a 750whp 335i is crazy.

[@huh0123]

Best cost to power… until the b58 gets just as cheap as these in a couple years. Hell, maybe we will see the S58 down to about $50k in like 3 years.

[@timlad123456]

Five years and 40k miles on 16t chinese turbos and no waste gate rattle 450 hp plus daily driver. Very fun and you don't have to change rod bearings 125k miles on stock N54. The 335IS should be considered as a future whip the DCT is an awesome transmission to drive. Excellent content love the channel

[@n54addictmotorsports]

They don’t know how to do shit and end up with issues like this and want to come and say these are the issues just because they don’t know what they are doing , and the platform gets a bad rep ,i been doing this for years and my turbos never rattle

[@Brrraaad]

I think the CES bottom mount is one of the nicest single kits out there but for sound and engine bay looks, can’t beat the Doc Race top mount. 135i is clean bro, nicely done!

[@ThicWhips]

Yes it is! However, we dont have manifolds. And likely wont for some time unfortunately. Ultimately, thats what led me to go with DOC for now! I also want to see my turbo when I open the hood. lol

[@israelpoop5557]

@@ThicWhips i have a 340 and im in california so the laws out here are outrageous but i regret not going top mount i went bottom mount and it has a heat shield so i cant barely see my turbo

[@BrokeMahWallet]

My 335i took everything I gave it and was nice and fairly reliable for it being stock, I always did maintenance first b4 doing mods

[@Marky_Markster]

Just watched the last video you had red door cards and were going S65, next video you got black door cards and going N54 single turbo... lol you're moving quick! My 2013 335is DCT is my daily, so I wanted response over top end so I went with DAW Flow Max + twins and port injection, no wastegate rattle whatsoever, awesome spooling sounds, small enough that with my mild tune im spooling at 2800, but big enough that theyll hit 800whp if you push them above 30psi. I think once i get a second car for a daily, maybe then ill push the 335is to be more aggressive and ill try a single turbo setup. The single turbos with the t51r mod sound unreal!

[@190Erb26]

Love the 135i content! Can’t wait for the rear subframe/ handling mods

[@kaiichinose9590]

Man love the new content, have been a long time subscriber. One car I wish I kept was my 2011 335IS. The single turbo on the n54 doc race set up is clean. My buddy has one a 135i with it and over 130k miles still running strong making 700whp on e85

[@ThicWhips]

That is awesome to hear, thanks for watching!

[@maziarzarea2540]

What did you do to your 335is

[@kaiichinose9590]

@@maziarzarea2540 I only did charge pipe, intake and down pipes with stage 2 tune. I had it about two years then sold it and got a 340i xdrive 6 spd manual with all m packages. I had that for about two years and now I currently just picked up a 2018 m2 lci 6spd and absolutely love it. I plan on building this to about 500whp.

[@Nohea.e92]

[@lifeofroman8198]

My boy just finished his single turbo on his 335is and the whole single turbo install was such easier than a twins runs amazing he ended up going with the speed tech took him about 4 days with the install.

[@OrcinusLaryngologist]

Wanted a 1M but I think it’s a smarter move to get a 135. It’s all I’ve been thinking about since getting home from work. Now the hard part is finding one that I don’t have to get shipped.

[@finemperor3694]

Love my doc race kit. I went with the 6466 however, I know you'll love it. Can't wait to see where you take the build brother.

[@bladejames8208]

That M1 clone is sweet bro. Has anyone crammed an S58 and AWD into a 1 series yet, particularly with switchable AWD/RWD? The 1 series would be an absolute rocket, even from dig if so, being so much lighter than the current M3s and M4s.

[@ThicWhips]

I dont believe they have yet!

[@bladejames8208]

@ThicWhips looking forward to seeing these poweplants swapped into older lighter weight vehicles in the future. The potential is staggering.

[@DkKristie]

Bad ass kit I have the same on my E90 and love it. CD919 tuned it and make 560whp with simple fuel set up.

[@ThicWhips]

perfect!

[@bladejames8208]

John, FYI; at 14:00 where you are talking about Doc Racing and stopped at tgat light. On your right is an awesome Korean grocery store/market if you like Korean food. If you have not had Korean food, you should buy meat for Bolgoki and Carbi.... bean sprouts for sides, maybe Kimcie. You can buy ready made food for lunch/dinner at the market inside. You can KZbin how to prepare the Bogoki and Carbi... I suggest cooking on the gril.... Bolgoki and Carbi are 2 of my favorite dishes.

[@ThicWhips]

Ill check it out!

[@alfamarco4845]

This is goals for my 135i, running China 19T and so far so good but once they're done i'll go single

[@ThicWhips]

Thats the move for sure. How have the china turbos treated you?

[@alfamarco4845]

@@ThicWhips No complaints yet, Doc Vu tuned to about 22 PSI on 93 and it hits boost target without issues. I've added WMI so need to retune for that and then it should be making some good power.

[@Cmanns05]

Pure Stage 2+ Hi-Flow turbos on my N54, no wastegate rattle. Maybe in the future with more use but for now on 22psi I’ve had no issues. The assembly is also much higher grade materials which may be why.

[@ThicWhips]

Thats good to hear, the wastegate rattle on these was honestly a bit of let down

[@Cmanns05]

@@ThicWhips Are those turbos billet? I know most aren’t, pure thankfully went the extra mile but to your point they’re almost single turbo cost. I could have easily gone speed tech for what I paid. Definitely happy though, 550whp/535wtq is already too much for the stock rear end and very little lag by comparison.

[@ZORGONICAL]

[@ThicWhips]

[@HeavyComponent]

This is what I was looking for. I know you said on the other post when I asked the question about those wheel/tire spec you said they are the same as the M3, but indeed you changed the tire size. You currently are running 255/18 in the front and 275/18 in the rear. So, you are not running the M3 spec which was 265/295 for the 1 clone. Now are you currently running spacers for the 1 clone with the 255/275? Thanks.

How should twins be setup? I don't like my full silicon inlets I wish the inlets were stock or relocated.

[@TheBrandonHaug]

Did you ever do subframe bushings or m3 control arms in the rear? I did m3 RSFB and I’m going to do the revshift trailing arms and poly RTAB tomorrow to try and get rid of that soggy ass feeling. Then m3 CA

[@bimmerboi_hutch]

I’m wanting to do the same. Anyone have a list of part numbers for the rear end? My biggest goal is to get rid of this horrid wheel hop

[@ThicWhips]

I have the M3 control arms all around. We built a 135 with complete SPL arms, bushings, revshift trailing arms and F8x Kw Clubsport coils all while using the 135 rear subframe still for a customer of ours at the shop and while it certainly helped...that solid rear subframe from the E9x M really makes a massive difference. For the cost as well, it makes sense for me to just convert everything over to E9x. This way I can run my E9X Ohlins all around as well as my F8X Brakes. I will then have the E9X LSD and the E9x Carbon Driveshaft. Its going to be a sick little setup!

[@dillonradcliffe7745]

Always have waste gate rattle no matter what? Even with brand new turbos ?

[@ParkerMurray-cw3bm]

When you replaced the rear hubs with e9x hubs did it mess with the suspension geometry at all?
