How's the turbo performing? I've got the same turbo as you, but decided to settle for the "350+hp" turbo systems put in the description, out of fears that the turbo might overspeed. Would be awesome if I had 70 extra horses just waiting to be used lol
Turbo is performing great. To get it over 400bhp you have to do quite a bit of other things to your car. One is MAF delete. Other is straight as possible induction feed fo Turbo. 3” plus high flow exhaust without restrictions just as backbox, resonators and if for track use the catalyst. The usual swirl flap delete if you aren’t using the 325d or 525d inlet manifold. I am using a bigger aftermarket cast iron exhaust manifold which has a larger flow capacity. EGR blanked off plate and or delete.535d pre LCi 219 injectors or nozzles. And most importantly a really good remapper. Oh yeah a much bigger intercooler at least over 8 litre capacity. The turbo is rated for 2.1 bar max on standard set up. But with the mods above you can run it up to the OEM valve spring limit. So a bit higher safely with good regular oil and filter changes every 5-6k miles. Currently the car is 434bhp in 3rd and 427bhp in 4th.
@@Jrk450 Thanks for replying! I'm currently running 350hp 800nm. Aside from the turbo I've got 219 nozzles, full EGR and swirl flap delete, cast iron manifold from Darkside Developments, bigger intercooler (600x230x65 if I remember correctly), and full straight pipe with the biggest downpipe I could find, 2.75" I think. Being a 2005 model, my car came stock with R90 pump and the newer "4 bar" map sensor. My clutch gave up at around 600nm, so I'm running a custom single mass flywheel with sachs pressure plate and 5 puck sintered clutch. Does deleting the MAF make an immediate difference, or does it have to be mapped accordingly?
@@albinl947 it has to be mapped out and so calculations are done b by via the map sensor. The person who done the map should know if you are pushing over 330hp your maf as passed it’s limits of giving actual mass air flow readings. I do all my own data logging and send off it off to my mapper. Then I just flash the returned map file.
@@Jrk450 Oh wow, I had no idea. I was thinking about getting a MAF from a 335d, but maybe deleting it entirely is the way to go. I also do my own logging, and get my files from a tuner in Belgium. Would you mind sending the contacts to your tuner?
@@denisovanhybrid9610 not much lag at all after upgrading the exhaust. There was a bit of lag before changing the exhaust system. Plus I have changed the induction system to for faster spool.
I work with m57's for a living and I can tell you from owning and still own 330d speed manual. The m57 won't make over 400bhp even with your mods. Are you just stating numbers from the map/mapper? Has it actually ever been run on a dyno? Curious to know
It’s defo over 400bhp at the crank. Figures are calculated from data logging . Graphs are also done using data from logging. It’s going to a dyno after i fabricate a bigger exhaust.I have also modified the turbine housing to allow better flow.
I think the dmf is still stock. The clutch is slipping. So both will have to be changed quiet soon. I am going for a E60 550i clutch and pressure plate and a LUK flywheel. There is a claim that a M47 dmf from a 5 speed E46 320d is stronger than a M57 dmf. But you have to use an adaptor plate with another pilot bearing to make it work on the M57. I am awaiting delivery of the adaptor plate/pilot bearing at the moment.
@@Jrk450 I also heard claims of M47 DMFs being stronger, but I've never seen any physical proof of it. I work at Sachs and after looking at technical specifications of both M47 and M57 flywheels, it is just not true. M57 flywheel uses stronger springs and is rated and tested for higher torque (which makes sense - M57 also makes higher torque). I can not speak for LUK, but I am pretty sure that their M57 flywheel will be stronger as well, compared to M47. There is just no reason to use stronger flywheel on weaker engine.
@@miro6138 there one guy i have been speaking with is running a M47 flywheel with a claimed 480bhp and 980nm using an adaptor plate and pilot bearing. Using a 3073 turbo from turbo systems.
@@Jrk450 I would still like to see some proof (measurement of springs mostly). I can't share the Sachs documents as they are confidential, but it is as I say - if you "twist" a secondary side of a DMF by some angle, the M57 one will resist more than M47, because of the harder springs. It may be different in LUK, but I highly doubt it. My personal opinion is that it's just an urban legend (I also wanted to swap to M47 flywheel, so I did some research - I wouldn't even need any adapter, as I have 5 speed box). Is that guy you spoke to from croatia by any chance?
@@JordanRocksWell lambda reading have to be at least 1.10 to 1.20 for best power without smoke. Once it goes below 1.07 you will start seeing a bit of smoke and a lot more of it goes 1.00 or below.
@@JordanRocksWell contact Martin Burns if you want a smokeless custom map but make sure your valve cover gasket isn’t leaking and your vortex crankcase breather isn’t blocked. EGR is blanked off or deleted properly. Swirl flaps deleted etc
You've built a beauty there, sounds good!! I've got a 330d saloon and I want to add more power going to have to watch all your videos now 😂
Thanks for subscribing. Yes more power is a must for the 330d. So much power potential and great mpg. Smiles all round 🙂

Cracking build bud! Sounds a beast 👌🏻 I’ve got a hybrid on mine but prob only doing just over 300hp. Do you have 535d injectors in yours?
Yes 535d pre LCi injectors already on 👍
I have the same car ❤ whats mileage?
231k miles
sounds nice mate!
Thanks
@@Jrk450 how is the spool with the bigger turbo? Much more lag ?

@@Jrk450how diamètre thé exit of the turbo
What transmission do you use in this car ?
It’s a 6 speed manual with single clutch and dual mass flywheel. OEM LUK DMF and will be changing the clutch to a 550i E60 with the pressure plate.
Do you still use stock dmf? What clutch and pressure plate?
I think the dmf is still stock. The clutch is slipping. So both will have to be changed quiet soon. I am going for a E60 550i clutch and pressure plate and a LUK flywheel.

How did you achieve no smoke?
My tuner made it smokeless. But you do need to reduce your backpressure a lot by installing a larger diameter free flowing exhaust
@@Jrk450 any ideas on other specific things that make it that way, anything about the lambda?
