My BMW Has Always Needed This!

- In this video I install a digital vent boost gauge on my E90 BMW. I install this on my 335i with the N54 engine.
I go over its functions and provide step by step DIY installation instructions.
In my opinion this is an elegant and hassle free way to monitor your boost. Sure you could data log via your phone or tablet but sometimes you just want to jump in the car and go. Always having boost monitoring at your fingertips is a nice feature.
This kit is made by a company called P3. If you're interested in purchasing the gauge kit I installed you can do so here (affiliate):

You can also get a version that plugs into your OBD port and provides more parameter to monitor. That can be found a this link (affiliate):

the AK-Motion display made in Germany is by far the best display for our cars. The bloke makes it for more bmw models. It connects to CAN-BUS so you can do crazy stuff with it.
Lovely job, I've had the Turner P3 gauge for like over 5 years now and love it everyday.
Love mine, installed it in my 2016 M235i, now I have an oil temp gauge 👍🏼
Great video and content as always! I have an Awron gauge in mine which I absolutely love! There’s on eBay at the moment too!!!
beautiful gadget, Thank you.
Very cool & slick looking! I'm going to be coming out with a video of my car, so all you guys i follow can see the modifications I've done to it. I have Fibromyalgia & im always feeling like shit. So when i do my mods sometimes it takes awhile before i have the energy to even start a project but i do...do all my own work. I was a tech in my uncle's collision center for 15-1/2 yrs. One of the biggest/cleanest collision centers in the U.S.(30-35 cars a week big collisions too) I'm also a Master Plumber but can't work anymore because of the disease i have. So i can pretty much fix anything & install anything but suck when it comes to computers & editing...😂 So im going to finish my car off & will make one video this spring or beginning of summer. My kid is a whiz with computer's & editing. I mean...man I've had my radium catch can in my house for 3 months & i just got my crank case breather by Vargas from turner motorsports yesterday. So far I've done VRSF catless down pipes, AFE dry filter intake, Agency intercooler, VRSF charge pipe with twin Turbosmart black anodized bovs, M black mirror covers from colorado N5X, black front grilles from BMW, BMP billet fuel pump holder & fuel pump. Only thing i have left to buy is 90mm titanium studs with black billet titek lug nuts, trumpets for my bovs because they are not vented to atmosphere at the moment. Sorry for the book but i will be making a video & going over everything I've done. I'm sure i forgot a few things but i will have the video out soon enough. Keep up the great work brother...👍🏁
Great bit of kit 👍
Thx for video just bought this same
Boost gauge
Hello!! Your video is of great help to me, I just bought one and will install it in my e93, I don't have an opening in the trunk from the inside, therefore I don't know where to connect the dimmer... but it doesn't complicate that the brightness is high, thank you for your contribution, greetings🖐🖐🖐🖐🖐
Love your videos!!!!
Amazing job bro 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Great video 👌
Very nice job 👌 👌
Plz do a diy video on how to set up anti lag to control with paddle shifters on a manual car
I have it in my E90 335i
Like 👍 always good job!
Awesome!!
My car is not as old as yours but one of my actuators for heater core stopped. Recirculating air is the only function that works, seems the regular setting is stuck closed. I’m suggesting a video so I can fix mine lol
I bought a cheapie at Harbor freight that works great. You just have to T a vacuum line into your manifold
I agree the p3 are way to expensive!! You can even purchased a raspberrypi module and code it to your dash,iPad or any other display for cheaper by downloading a free software!!
@@pinoysi06 u have a link for that?
@@ichoozjc ruclips.net/video/e0WapwV-oLA/видео.html You can pretty much set up any type of dash style you want or download any software and apply it on any screen. The raspberry pies have all kinds of external and internal ports such as HDMI, USB see, type C..It’s so sick man you really got to research more on it
@@pinoysi06 Thanks! I've played with arduinos with drones but haven't messed with a raspberry pi. I'll definitely look into it. I've seen them used for ethenol sensors though. Now I have two good reasons to look into it!
Excellent
where did you get that wrap looks really good!
Great content as usual. I've referenced your vids for countless things on my 135i and its been a great help, so thank you. Quick question: how's the 335is clutch been holding up with your upgraded turbos? There are so many mixed opinions on that clutch.
Thanks, so far its holding but I haven't put a ton of miles on it. I like the oem feel of it.
Great video! I'm really not a fan of those cheap crimp connectors either, they seem super cheap and flimsy to me. Instead, I really like Posi-Tap tap connectors.
Thanks! Yeah I had some Posi-Taps around but couldn't find them. I need to order some more.
Could you use the T section that goes to the exhaust flapper if not using that (most are not) ?
Amazing
Auto high beam retrofit?
Don’t these read coolant temps as well or does this model only read boost??
You should do a video on an engine temp gauge
you mean like the stock gauge under the tach?
@@ELUSlVE that'd be good also
This vent serves an important de-fogging role to blow air over the side window. I'd always point it towards the window, and not towards yourself. Nice install though! Interesting 'granite' trim. Not totally my taste, but definitely something different and unique. 👍
There’s a vent on the top of the dash for that
I believe that's supposed to be forged carbon fiber trim, not granite lol
How do you have anti lag
Vent area is at premium in Texas in the summer. Blocking any vents is a non-starter for me.
Yeah I can relate being here but that vent has always had pretty weak flow so I'm hoping it doesn't make a big difference.
How do I turn it off in case I get pulled over
Definitely slick & I'd like to do one on my 135i but if i already have the MHD gauges telling me everything...why doe this? Just because it's bad ass...👍😎🏁
Yeah and to save the 1 minute each time before driving off to load the gauges on MHD.
@@VehicularDIY Definitely a super cool mod....👍🏁
have you made a video about you charge pipe and blowoff valve?
Yeah I have individual videos for both.
Hi like the video and apologies for been off topic where did you get the dash trims ?
Thanks its a forged carbon wrap from a company called metrostyling. I made a video on it.
Hey man, do you have any suggestion as to why my last few uploads haven't rendered to 4K yet? The files exported at 4K, double checked. I read that RUclips's processing is slow and can take a day or two sometimes. But some videos are stuck at 1080p for over a week. Thanks!
Hey, I haven't had any issues on my end. Typically the 4K render is ready within an hour on my end. Are you uploading in H.264? I've heard that using the new H.265 codec could be problematic given it's overcompressed.
@@VehicularDIY I'm not sure, it's just a .mov file in Final Cut Pro X

hey i had a question for you or anyone who can answer, so i have a 2011 e92 with non nav, i wanna put the nav in it and i found a e92 with nav being parted out, if i were to take everything harness and such, would it just be plug n play, or do i need to code it and de-repin wires and plugs? thanks any help would be appreciated
You could take everything over and shouldn't need to code but you may need to "encode" the vin, won't be a big deal but worst case you use NCS Expert to encode the VIN and default encode the car to your vehicle order. AKA tell the new equipment how your car is equipped. For instance if you don't do that you might not get notifications popping up on your idrive etc.
What cluster/gauges do you have? They look sick glowing white
I custom made that, there are a couple video on my channel regarding it.
does this car dim on + or -? I had that problem on my civic taping dimming for a 90's style radio.
Dims on +, +5VDC I beleive.
Hey so I drove my n54 335i with no serpentine belt at low mhp for like two miles dint get an overheating mssg ..do you think theres a possibility i might have damaged the engine ?
As long as the belt didn't break and get sucked into the engine you would be fine. The car has an electric water pump so it would continue to circulate current even if it's running off battery and the alternator isn't charging.
May I ask what you do for a living? You seem to know a lot about electronics
He's a master engineer at the auto shop.
I work in the IT hardware industry.
@@VehicularDIY I work in IT too!!! Love your videos!!!!
How accurate is it compared to what mhd of obd read?
It's very accurate, I think it's a little more responsive.
@@VehicularDIY nice. Another thing I'll have to look into!
Does that show oil temp? I looked for one for my e60 And to my knowledge it didn't have oil temp
The awron gauge does but they do not make it anymore😡
you can code your cluster to show oil temp instead of mpg.
@@fohatadri oh like guage hijacking? I thought that feature was only for jb4?
@@burntavocado5033 there are lots of info in google. Just type something like: e60 oil temp cluster coding
The model that plugs into your OBD port does.
is there more detail on the antilag???
Yeah that's part of launch control for MHD. First time trying it, not sure if it can be tuned to generate a couple more PSI.
@@VehicularDIY gotcha, if you get more detail make a video!
Is that a bit pricey for what it does
Yeah it is, I held off on it for a long time as I recall them being over $400 but I could stomach $259.
Anti lag 0.7 psi. Lol. I wonder if there’s software coding to hold the waste gate shut for anti lag purposes. Cmon MHD!
Lol yeah first time trying that and I thought it would end up at 2 to 4 PSI. Maybe that can be adjusted.
I bet you this thing overheats from the sheet from your vents just like a cell phone does if you keep it in front of the Heat
Hope not lol, this car almost never has it's heat turned on, maybe for a couple weeks a year.
@@VehicularDIY in my car it would I'm in New York you are in Texas right
What about 1er?
They make that also bit.ly/337LAFC
@@VehicularDIY Sorry RHD 1er**
Niezły bajer :)
Show a pull hitting 25 psi!
It hits 20.5 psi in 2nd, 26.2 in third and if you're going up an incline in 3rd it could peak to 27 psi. I'll see what I can do with demonstration
Those upgraded turbos! I went analog:

Good job, but Awron is much better!
Thanks, yeah definitely looks like a better gauge but I don't like how it blocks one of the main vents completely and it's a little too pricey for what I was looking to accomplish.
I think the best Display with a very good price is the AK-motion Display. So much funktions. Inclusive exhaust control. Check it out. I have it in my E92 335i and i love it
$300 no way. I would rather by an autel or launch scanner that can read intake MAP sensor, and a lot more. Certainly I would rather see what the DME sees, not another vacuum sensor.
First!!!!
My friend just change this Ugly wheels !!!
Lol long overdue.
On the F30 the vent is actually still fully functional. Way better: ruclips.net/video/_vfTIcFxAcA/видео.html
Yeah that implementation is much more functional for sure.
I dislike how you turned your channel into clickbait titles and not straight to the point anymore. So much filler
The titles are not my style but they straight up double your views and I haven't seen any change in my like ratio. Truth be told these title are going to lead to a new car for the channel soon.
hey man you got insta?
