I would clutch in and hold some throttle. It's all in the tune. I never got it working 100%. There's a company 22RPD, that is in beta testing, maybe they can get it working.

@@Druwoods alright!! Thank you!!!

Not at all. Ended up needing to daily the car, and the tune still had some gremlins. So I put the N54 manifold on and drive it daily. 188,000 miles and counting.

@@Druwoodswould you recommend N54 Intake or should i stay with my 3Stage?

@pajserbabo52 In an auto, I'd stay with the 3 stage.

I killed that project off a little while back. With the bmw valvetronic, your intake valves become your effective throttle. In theory, allowing any intake to be put on. In reality, at least in my case, it wasn't a good daily.

​@@DruwoodsWhy did you stopped the project btw ?

Yup stock bottom end handled it just fine. Didn't touch the valvetronic, was still using it. The intake was literally trumpets straight to the valves. With no MAF or even vacuum we couldn't meter the intake air volume. It was great when it was working but the stock ecu wouldn't play ball for long before it'd freak out.

@@Druwoods pretty interesting. Found your thread, how many miles did you run it like that?

Between 2500-3000 miles, from like January to November 2021, before we finally gave up.

You certainly don’t understand cars

@@destruxandexploze2552 I certainly do! You're just talking shit, instead of having a sense of humor

Save that comment for a 12 year-old RUclips mechanic, not a mid-twenties automotive engineering major!

@@jozefvelez8458 Why would your radiator explode? It makes no sense. Especially when the water pump is electric and the rpm is not going to effect how fast the water pump spins.

Why would a car go into limp mode watching a video? It's called a joke look at the other comments here!

Yeah that's how N52s operate. Below 5k those are sluggish but once you're there it moves

Vanos kicked in yo

22rpd is coming out with some. currently in development stage

Some AA replica headers with the stock resonator no muffler. It wasn't the injectors but the stock ECU. We had to abandon the itb/ trumpet setup because of it. We have it running with the n54 manifold now to retain some sensors and TB.

@@Druwoods That's a bummer. Are you still running 7700rpm on the n54 intake manifold?

@@Druwoods bro please please please tell me some more about your n54 intake manifold setup. i really wanna do it. have read everything i could find about it but i still don't know if its easily do able. please help

@@spikeblakemore yeah man what do you want to know?

I try to keep a post on 1addicts.com updated on how things are going. It's in the n52 engine forum. Once we get the tune sorted I'll have more here as well.

My car would’ve overheated

🤣

HAHAHAHAAHAH

Hopefully that's the beauty of this. We're still using the valvetronic to control the air flow, so there's no traditional ITB butterflies. In the end, trying to get it to where all you need to do is replace the manifold with trumpets, vent pcv to catch can, vent the purge solenoid to atmosphere, flash the custom tune and done. Will we get there...? Maybe.

@@Druwoods any update?

@@roninbushida1180 not any good ones. The tuner just couldn't get the stock dme to fuel it with any aggression. Too many safeties and backups disabled. Mechanically it worked fine, so it's possible with a custom ecu, but what isn't. It just got beyond what I was trying to accomplish. Car runs a n54 intake manifold for the time.

​@@Druwoods any more updates? 😅 still running with n54 manifold? how many hp Gian?

Any updates?

Not on the 128. I use the torque pro app to monitor all my vitals while driving. Not sure why the couldn't include the temp gauge, but I kind of like the minimalist look. One day I may change out the cluster skins for something more interesting.

@@Druwoods damn that’s kinda annoying. I didn’t know that. My sisters 328 has the oil temp so I thought the 1 would have it. I agree on the minimalist look though, I swapped the gauge faces on my 335 for ones that only show mph and have dots every 5mph instead of the lines for every 2mph on the stock speedo.

I'm not holding out on anybody I promise. Once I'm sure it works proper and nobody is gonna ruin there engine I'll put it all out there. No dyno and engine tune still being adjusted as of now.

@@Druwoods Great! I look forward to it!

@@Druwoods I truly cannot wait to learn more about this. good luck and godspeed my dude

Totally correct, if valvetronic fails I have no backup and will be towing her home. It's a manual so clutch in, and a long hold of the start button will kill the motor. I'll do a proper breakdown video once the tune is solid. I'm glad people are enjoying this, thanks.

Mine that are in there have 180,000 miles on them, so they're due I'd say. Maybe fresh stockers would do the job, but the FI guys like to switch to S65 injectors, so maybe.

Wrong! sounds like an inline engine and all inline engines sound like vacuum cleaners.

@@Key-z2xif you're gay just say it

​@@Key-z2xsuch an idiotic comment

Hopefully, right?

Then why would the red line be 7 thousand if 6500 is damaging it's fine

Just because you’re used to your 94 Saturn hitting and losing air at 4500 rpm

why does my stock 130i go to 7k then?

@@bslothed3211 these engines are not designed to go past 7000rpm. inline 6's do not like to rev high because of the heavy crankshaft. I had a N52 in my 2011 F10 528i which would consistently redline at just a hair past 7000 without much hassle. But every engine is in a different condition and should be treated with respect.

It's running on a custom tune that Isn't finished yet so still a few codes and small issues. With no MAF, MAP, or throttle body it runs surprisingly well, so I'm okay with it for now.
