Why did you move your hpx maf? Did you change your tune with the move? If i even rotate my hpx 90* it changes my fueling by almost 50%. (Mine is set up like your old videos)
i honestly moved it while rearranging piping to make it a little cleaner. didnt give it much thought. didnt really notice anything to make me think so. thats weird. ill keep that in mind though thanks !
I plan to buy a forged engine from k64performance motorsports to then Supercharge.. out of m50, m52 and m54 what should i go for in terms of reliability? Thanks.
@@216-i6p they’re all great engines. Iron blocks will be more stout imo though. So m50-52. M54 are great but if you boost them and don’t fully build the engine you’re running on luck imo.
@BsBMWGarage you can only fully build but still have an aluminium block, no issue tho as they are very very very unlikely to cracks from heat, and timeserts are definitely the only option for head studs
Have you tried it with the wastegate hooked up straight to the turbo? I see you're using the SCG-1 boost controller and its not the best.. I had some weird issues with boost when I was running with it.
Yes I have run no controller just gate. Produced the same exact results. I have also heard about the SCG1 being a crap unit. But I’ve got some goodies on the way to mix things up.
If you’ve already got a healthy b30 turbo that first and search for an iron block for a back up down the road. A stock unopened healthy b30 can produce some nice results. 400+ HP for sure. 👍🏻
@@BsBMWGarage alright thanks so much I’ve done a lot of work on my b30 so it is super reliable. I plan on putting an n54 intake manifold on it then just doing better head studs so I don’t have to worry about the head ever lifting.
@@JOYSTICKKAZUYA imo I would not stud the b30 block until it’s at a point it needs to be. If you’re looking for 400 hell 500 HP leave the entire engine stock. The aluminum block doesn’t like to hold thread very well and may require a helicoil or going up in stud size. No issues here at 450 hp on stock unopened b30. Just secure the oil pump nut. 500 is pushing it but doable. mine lasted 6 months before ringlands went.
@@ajob1194 with everything going perfectly. it can be done. mine had a mechanical failure about 4-5 months in running about 500. ringlands really dont like it.
it was up in the 12.5 + area after reviewing the film. a forged engine wont mind a 12.0-12.1ish if tuned correctly. stock engines really only like lots of fuel like mid 11's
Had a custom manifold built by k64.pl. Ask for kamil. Just make sure wastegate placement is optimal. I screwed up and put mine too low on the manifold. Otherwise run it off the turbine housing.
Jason built my exhaust on my turbo e39 touring. Where are you located? When will you fix your set up? I need my feelings hurt ASAP. As far as your boost creep , air wants to go in a straight line. 90* bends are very bad for flow. Your 90* on the compressor housing. If you look at the rsi manifold it feeds the air straight into the wastegate.
@@drewdavis239 yeah i figured. it was just not optimal placement but the turbine housing mounting looks bad but on the inside evenly splits the flow so still was confused on creep as far as that side of things go. but yeah just going RSI for now
Another solid video, Just straight to the point with everything! We specifically produce LEDs for auto. Can we invite you to do a review for our product? We have emailed for an inquiry.
@Vivianauxito appreciate it. i do not see an email from you though on either email i have. if youd like to send another so we can be in contact that would be great!
Best e46 video out there
give them headlights a good cleaning, itll look so much nicer. sounds amazing
With e46 you don’t have to clean them you can just order a new lens and swap the old ones, but I agree.
Sorry fender but dad is a legend.
Amen to that
awesome man, got a 320i, hoping to do something similar one day
You’ve got it! It’s really not that bad of a project to tackle and lots of fun.
Awesome video. What year is your car

How’d you keep your ac in this top mount build? I’m currently researching builds and thinking of doing a custom one.
10:00, 10:54 and 12:51 all Sound's like my dad's BMW with the pops lol

I got a e46 330ci with the m54b30 is it worth boosting or should I swap motors with either a m50 or m52 (iron block)

I have a stock 05 330xi, is their anything I can do to this to make it faster?
Yeah sell it and buy a c6
@ you have a C6?
You said it ran lean during pull test, do you know the A/F ratio number during that test?

What manifold are you running that allows you to keep ac

What turbo and housing?
