HOW TO BUILD A FAST TWIN TURBO N54!! OUR FASTEST YET

[@ashcadelanne8524]

I want to chuck an N54 in my e46 compact…this series is really going to help with the engine setup that I know I don’t need but I really want 😅

[@extremeforce07]

Finally came accross a video that has me excited about beginning to upgrade my 2016 535i m sport. I bought the car in 2019 and promised my wife i wouldn't touch it until I paid it off. So now the time is here to start building it into something I can enjoy and hopefully I can win some races against some of these local cameros mustangs and challengers. I'm going to take it to a transmission shop and ask them to do what ever it take for it to hold up to about 600hp. I will be upgrading the brakes pads lines and rotos. After that I will start under the hood and out the back with a great exhaust. My budget it ten grand my question is will that be enough because right now the car is perfect. No leaks 41000 miles on the odometer and counting. I drive it about 20 miles a month since I bought it so it's in.great shape.

[@TrackItYT]

What you say about misinformation on this platform hugely resonates with me. In the UK there are no true technical specialists for this engine and having battled a boost oscillation issue for three years (still on going) I have consistently come up against random diagnosis with no logical data driven approach. See many forum threads which follow similar paths unfortunately. Makes the platform extremely tough to own in the UK if you’re technical. Going to join the channel to find some brains 😂

[@daveh9520]

Will be a good project. My e92 (prior design widebody) is an all rounder maybe a little more focused on circuit suspension and setup wise however, on street tyres (AD08Rs)it ran 10.7@131mph. Pure stg2s / 6AT. Full weight , leather luxury gapping machine mode. That was a tuning run for flex at lower boost than I run now and almost no timing. It should pull a mid 10 now on the better tyres (Kumho V70A or my Nitto N555R drag radials) same full weight trim. Happy to help contribute if I can 👍

You wanna try hooking that setup correctly? Lol

[@daveh9520]

One tip around 1/4 mile stuff ; get your technique and setup sorted at low power(even as it is) so you can cut a great 60ft (not 0-100). You then optimise 1/8th and full pass. Tweak and then up the power, rinse and repeat. Tecnique takes time for muscle memory , so changes that effect what your car does (power /tyres/chassis) will need adjustment to your timing. First pass off the trailer with kill mode active will simply see you have a very frustrating night too. You enjoy the night alot more when passes improve, plan for this , it happens. If you do like 90% of folk, no plan for the night, its a fluke you cant repeat. Obviously, real motorsport contains this sort of planning, so simply take the same mindset and you have a better time(pun) This goes for burnout/optimsed heated tyre pressure. Watching your efforts so far ,there is big upside here. Your drag radial approach has alot of upside , you arent yet doing that right. 1.6/1.5s await.👍

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Wise words.

I love your accuracy man. I’m from Germany and that’s how you do it.😄 My current set up is also E10 mix but only Stage 1 wit DP. Because we pay at least 1,60€/L and more power wouldn’t make sense because of 0*C temp outside. I run a 100-200kp/h in about 10s but I only recorded the speedometer.

👀 I’ve recorded my 0-100 time through the ecu recently and have managed a 3.9. Whether the ecu is slightly lazy I don’t really know but feels ok. And I feel you on the transmission issues hahaha

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Although ecu times are better than nothing. The ecu runs off the cars calculated road speed. They are generally quite a bit quicker times than a dragy or vbox. Worth the investment in dragy if you are genuinely interesting in dialing your car in. You won’t get enough accuracy through the ecu. Especially if you have wheel slip.

Picked up a 2008 coupe 335i, silver on red. It’s not white like I wanted but personally I like the silver. She has upgraded chargepipe with DV’s and DCI. Just ordered inlets and outlets, plan on getting the 7.5” VRSF Competition FMIC (not the race because I definitely am not running anything crazy), a stage 2 or 2.5 so I can run a good mix of e85, and to complete the engine, downpipes! Also want to get the poly bushings for the subframe and better transmission/diff mounts. Along with the M3 11 piece control arm kit from FCP euro. Can’t wait to be making a healthy 420-460 hp, but I’m not really about the drivetrain and how much it can handle and for how long before needing to upgrade.

Interesting. It does shift too early on low load. For sure. But this trans is a not right. It’s better with alpina, better again in sports mode. So my guess it’s oil bleeding out from seals or sticky solenoids

i hope u can avoid the Ethaonal gas into making power on this car, just because the E isnt aval around the world.

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

No no, ethanol with the way to go with these. If you have access. Meth cars seem a fair bit slower from my experience.

[@ram00sa00]

@@ZeroTo60Tube drop the compression . To 9.2 or less

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@ram00sa00 no no no, its madness not to make use of e85. Especially on a twin turbo setup. We need that higher comp to make use of efficiency and lower (sub 30psi) boost levels.

[@ram00sa00]

@@ZeroTo60Tube well the reason why I said . Is because e85 is only available as x98 racing fuel. Which cost 100USD per 5 gallons

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

@@ram00sa00 I totally get why you might if you can't get pump e85. But for us its a no brainer to use the pump e85.

Go back to the stock intake box instead of the dual cones, and drop a high-flow filter in it. Watch your IATs drop big time! Dual cones are the biggest waste of money...

The air temps are already really hot when it goes thru the hot side turbo wont make a difference

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

I like to think my draggy times speak for themselves. But incase you can't work it out the stock air box is slower on our cars. I have 5 stock air boxes here and 2 or 3 high flow filters. Stock air box is slower on the draggy. I have a theory on why some people think the stock air boxes are better. But we have done back to back tests many times from lightly tuned cars up to RB turbo equiped car and the more power you make the bigger the issue is with the stock air box. 1M air box is slightly better than a normal one, but i'd still run DCIs. Remember you can have IAT's in the negatives and it wont matter if you can't get enough air in there to make power.

yay the first today

This channel will ruin me. Tomorrow my n54 335is is going into a workshop for Pure St 2 turbos, M4 flywheel and Walbro 450 LPFP. There goes another 4000 Euros, but who cares - I'm in love with the N54 as well ;) And remind me: Should I worry about breaking my drive shafts? Would a diff brace help prevent that?

[@Hashbrown2169]

If it breaks then upgrade otherwise leave em

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Diff brace will definitely help. A strong LSD will help break the axles. The cars seem ok wiht open diffs. But just be ready for it. You will break axles when you start making good power. On the same note, until you are running port injection with decent ethanol content you wont be making enough torque to snap axles.

[@spencersinger3209]

Zf8 swap it

[@mavisjackson896]

Dct swap later on

[@ZeroTo60Tube]

Not in this one. Kinda want it to work from a dig
