    Hey Cameron thanks for making a video on our N52 Turbo kit! We hope it wasn’t to difficult to install as clearances are definitely tight when you add so much into a small area! In terms of your oil feed if you switch it go the other way around you will notice more slack in the line (90° toward the T and straight to the turbo). Excited to see how it ends up running and to see some track driving with it!

    • @Moon-Garage
      @Moon-Garage  7 месяцев назад +3

      Thanks! I ended up just getting a 45⁰ for the oil feed. I think I lost a fitting because it was too low for the pressure sensor to fit the other way as it is on your demo car. May change it in the future.

      ​@Moon-Garage hey man I got a question here for you. If you where to do this on a manual does the engine block to thermostat line just bolt on or is there special things you would need to do to get it on I plan on buying this for my e90 build but don't have that piece cause it's a manual thanks

    Thank you so much for this. I have a 2008 328i and was thinking of doing the same since it’s no longer my daily. I was curious how the drivetrain would hold up and sounds like only 400 hp.

    • @Moon-Garage
      @Moon-Garage  19 часов назад

      @@Greezzmonky first thing to go out in the drive train seems to be the torque converter. Starts to slip around or just above 300hp. Some guys are converting to a specific torque converter out of an X5 or some Z's have it too. Another option and probably easier is to do a manual trans. Preferably a 335i manual trans (GS6-53BZ). BUT all of those drivetrain issues on the auto cars come from hard launches and aggressive shifting trans tunes. So if you always roll into it you'll be fine.

    Im not sure if the n52 has any forged internals like the n54. But I do know that boosting a car that was not manufactured for boost is a labor of love & absolutely not cost effective. The limited power you can make just dosent justify the dollars youll spend IMO. But building, tuning, modifying any car or cars in general is not exactly a wise investment for most of us. We do it because we like doing it. Cost be damned! 😒 to an extent.. So keep on building brotha. Cant wait to see the final product...

    • @rumrunnersracing
      @rumrunnersracing 6 дней назад +1

      I’ve made over 500 on the n52 on stock internals the weak point is the piston ring lands due to small ring gap and the higher compression these motors run. You need to lower compression and open the ring gap to make 600whp reliably on my setup we’re going for 18-20psi but I don’t see the magnesium block being an issue it’s pretty stout. I did swap to low compression pistons and opened the ring gap from 0.13 to 0.23 to give it room to expand with the extra boost . Ide recommend at least gapping the piston rings but sick setup I love to see more n52 stuff out there 👍

      I had already removed it before tapping, so i didn't want to do it again. Then when I tapped the oil pan, the grease caught a lot - almost all of the metal so I thought it would be good again. Forsure was a small brain move and was just rushing it.

      I'll do a video on why a 328i sometime, but in short, reliability, certain characteristics that the n52 has over the n54 (like compression) and cost. Also, it's all for a purpose. N54 can make good big power, but to drivers that care about more than a straight line, big power is not always what you want, not saying that you can't do a fbo 335 and have a great track car.

      Stock internals, just well maintained. I've heard you can do around or just over 500hp safely on stock internals. Forged internals can do around 700 and anything more than that you'd need to close the deck. I'm aiming for around 500, though, so it's drivable on track. I'm not a big HP number chaser. Maybe I'll turn it up and see what it can do when I'm ready to blow it up.

      @BurntOrangeHorn78 I agree. The n54 is all forged, and the n52 has forged sleeves. N52 weighs less, has a little bit higher compression, the head flows way better, and about 30cc bigger displacement. If I was aiming to make above 700hp, I'd get an n54 and build it from the block up for sure, but Im not into roll racing and hotboy numbers. I just want to make decent drivable power for the track.

    Too expensive. Don’t get me wrong. I have an N51 328i, but $4,350? I mean you’re in some used 335i prices.

      Looks exactly the same from the top, haha. N52 still has a longer stroke and higher compression, and is sleeved instead of all forged.

    why am i watching this? i'll never be able to do this myself and idek how to ask a mechanic to do this.. i feel like they'd just laugh at me or think i'm being rude. ( not that I can afford to pay someone to do it )

      You'll figure it out. Once you start to understand basics, everything else comes easy. Just dont start with a full turbo kit. Do small stuff first and get better. When you do big hard jobs, the hardest part is starting it. All in all, it's not too hard or bad. Just take your time.

      3 years ago I didn’t even know how to turn a wrench, now I’m pulling the manual tranny out of my e90 n52 and looking at turbo builds. This definitely is doable and not all that hard, just a lil time consuming that’s all
