Merry xmas everyone!!! This was a bit of a rushed week, but so glad i got the first drive in today! She's gonna make some jam! Can't wait to wind it up.
Merry christmas pal! 🎅
First Merry Christmas! Second, you might want to check for head gasket leak, water temps going up that fast that high doesn't seem right. Every N54 is over 11 years old and almost all have seen multiple owners. It is crazy what these engines will endure but at this point we are all playing Russian Roulette slapping monster turbos on these engines and just sending it.
Merry Chrismas ! All away from Romania !
Merry Christmas and a better new Year from Finland!
Merry Christmas! That's gotta make your Christmas that much more enjoyable in getting those turbos up and running. That's going to be a fun car to play around with for years to come.
These turbos are definitely serious! People say I move around too much in my video with my flow max+ turbos. It moves! Potential to make so much power
💪
Love the car, great to see it's going well. Merry Christmas 🎄 can't wait to see it on the track some day
Great job Andrew 💯 You're always coming through with the best N54 content! Merry Christmas!
Much appreciated!
Great work and thanks for taking the time to show that your hard work has payed off, Merry Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Excited to see a video of this build today guys! Thank you! But a few cliff hangers there with the exhaust and the trans leak then the Coolant Pump but as you went along they are seeming to all be small fixes except a bit time consuming with topping up the trans fluid and exhaust pipes. But WOOOOOHOOO BABY YEA!!! When it went all boosty McMadman I was excited to see it! That is a very Merry Christmas present indeed! One you had to pay for and one you worked hard to get but the rewards are there Andrew! So cool!
Congrats on the big boost!! I can’t wait to see your finished draggy numbers and some roll race videos!!!
Merry Christmas! Great to get a video after the mayhem of wrapping presents. Looks like a weapon! Just put new plugs and coils in mine today! Early Xmas gift to myself. Have a great Christmas Day🍻🎄
Great video! I like raw video like this. Those turbos rip.
That's big power guys. Merry Christmas to the Zero to 60 crew and your loved ones. Dutch regards, Nico.
In fairness I have used VTT products billet valve cover is beautiful the billet coolant lines were a good upgrade no more broken plastics. I had a set of turbos go bad and received replacement CHRAs without any issue. Every product can an will have failures that’s not a issue aslong as improvements are made through that process. I guess I need to stop dragging my feet an get my car off jackstands since you already got yours in the road…
Merry Christmas! Glad it's all coming together 😁
Merry Christmas Andrew and David! Thanks for the awesome content over the last year 🎄🎄🎄
Thanks very much man, it’s great still seeing your name in the comments
Awesome! She’s a wild beast. Have a good Xmas…
Thanks man! Looking forward to getting it dialed in and wound up
merry xmas guys! loving it!
looks like its going to be a very fun ride! Nice
Very exciting stuff!
Merry Christmas to you and Andrew bud, have an awesome day. Those turbos are making Jam, thank God it was just a turbski issue hey.
Thanks and you too! It was a relief that’s for sure.
Merry Christmas! Really cool to see the turbos working
I was so happy to find the boosting issue.
Merry Christmas mate. Take care.
I love it!!! I just finished my 6HP28 swap on my car on jackstands lmao. Running the DAW high flow max plus turbos. I’m running the Indy 500 tires and they do pretty good.
The tires won't do good anymore bro believe me after you'll Install it
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN haha alex i have those tires and i’m installing 19t’s soon, wish me luck
How good 👍🏼 looking forward to more vids on this car.... also looking forward to my merch you sent the other day 🤙🏽 🙂
Enjoy your holidays guys.
Cheers 🍻 Andrew
Thanks again dude! Enjoy your holidays too! Hopefully the merch will be with you soon!
That was awesome dude, Merry Christmas to you too!
Thanks so much Max, was a great relief to see the car make boost how it should.
Merry Xmas! Thank you for the gift of sharing your journey with us. Thoughts of joy and love to you and your family. These cars will be around as long as ppl like us need something to do, and we will be here to watch. Even though things go wrong, it’s so much more controlable that the rest of life, we can hide here. May your family be the recipients of your love and presence for them. Thankful for you.
TeamN54, bc we aren’t afraid of life!
PS:that Sh!+ is insane!
You are so kind
@@ZeroTo60Tube 🤙🏼🙏🏼
This project is so interesting, good stuff! Happy christmas!
Thanks! You too!
Merry Christmas to the zero to 60 crew! And loving the new build 😎😎👊👊
Thanks so much man.
Merry Xmas! You won’t get misfires from running e70 on an e85 tune FYI. E70 is about max power gain n54s make anyway on ethanol
nice pulls. if cooling is issue. can try upgraded thermostat. csf radiator + 1M rad fan. when my conti water pump goes I'll fit the mishimoto thermostat. small price for better cooling.
Sick should be good when all sorted. Merry Xmas
merry christmas bro you and Dave
enjoy 👌 with family 👪 ❤
awesome work great job
God bless always
Same to you
Merry Christmas to you and the Daves 👍🏼🥳
You too sir!
cant wait for more content!
Just need to fit super wide rear tyres, thicker rear axles and change the gearing ratios. And fit an lsd, if you haven’t already.
First line “the trick here is to not get in trouble” haha love it! 🤣 and happy holidays!
Man the first 2 roll ons I was like, I’m gonna have some fun here
Good job!
Good stuff!
Great job bro looks very fast
Really looking forward to seeing what they can do
Thats awesome 25psi, take a break. I was laughing at all of the "I rushed it mistakes you made" work on cars long enough and we all have done them. Merry Christmas
Haha. Always the way.
👍🏼👍🏼 Merry Christmas 🎄🎄💪💪🙃
Merry Christmas and thanks for the excellent videos. Are you planning to share any additional details about the trans cooler? Looks like a factory style cooler but with AN fittings. Would love to know where you got that from.
I did plan on it yes, however completely forgot, this was so rush to get out..... lol Its a coolant rad from a PPK car with the AN fittings welded on. One of our wrecks had it, so it seemed like a cheap option and even though it was smaller than most aftermarket coolers, i figured the ducting would offset the size. Need to do some testing on it thats for sure.
Merry Christmas and lots of love to your Mom. DAW's rule....
Same to you!
Well done. 👍🏼
Thanks man! Was great to see no major issues after the first drive.
Great build I'd love to race this car in my e93 335i
Been on a cruise ship until just now. Wasn't willing to pay the rates to stream while in Mexico for the holiday so the FIRST thing I did upon de-boarding was check to see what I've missed from my 0-60 guys....missed a lot!!!
P.S. it low key hurts my soul every time I see that E93 just sitting there! I'd love to see that thing on the road someday.....terrorizing v8's with the top down....Just like mine!!!
Thanks for the support man!
Aren't bmw ashtrays the best phone holder!! Merry Christmas mate! Wish you and yours a merry holiday!
Absolutely haha
Merry Christmas! The new turbos seem sweet. If the exhaust flanges are solid are you able to port them out or the pipe behind is too small? What a pain. Can't believe they would restrict the flow seemings though a lot of effort seems to have gone into the finish etc. Once you have fixed it I would be interested in some exhaust sounds after they have had some time to bed in. Thanks again.
Thanks man. The flanges are solid and could be bored out, however the pipe is too small, it’s about 10-15mm before it goes out to 2.5inch. It’s so bizzare they made them that way, but just the reality of cheap products I guess. It was under $1000aud delivered.
Send it 🔥🔥😁
You got yourself a beast, hopefully you'll work the bugs out with no issues, about your engine temperature , I noticed you got an overheating warning at 116 degrees celsius , I was under the impression that 115 degrees is normal operating temperature for the N54, my car hovers between 110 and 120 degrees in the summer time depending on how much I push it, but even when I reach 120 degrees I don't get any warnings, the fan turns on and brings it down a little, but the car operates perfectly.
This was coolant temp. Which I really like to keep under 100. I’m not sure how hot it was when the error came up on the dash. As soon as I saw the warning I turned it off and cruised to a stop. The oil temp was still under 90c
@@ZeroTo60Tube ok my bad , I was worried for a second I thought I was overheating,
Merry Christmas Team N54
Christmas eve content??? Thats a thumbs up
Oh hell yeahhhh !!!
This is so awesome 👏 The excitement on your face, like a 16 year old 🤣👍🏻
Merry Christmas to you also! Now go get drunk 🍻😆
Ohhhh man, I was so happy the thing made boost.
Insane. I'm jealous
Hey mate,
When buying these from DAW which option was selected so these would fit RHD. I understand the wg actuators are different between LHD and RHD so don't want to mess it up. The options they have don't particularly state "RHD 335i"
Awesome! It'll be interesting to see what Ken does with revisions to stop it from blazing the tyres so easily.
Im keen to have it making as much power as possible and learn to drive around that. i reckon we'll be sweet
@@ZeroTo60Tube yeah for sure Andrew, i was keen on these turbos for a road car toy. But after watching how effortlessly it lit the bags i was thinking they may be almost impossible to try and get any power down. I look forward to seeimg how you get on with it and draggy times etc
@@SikaSeeker Maybe if you werent chasing all out 100-200 times. The non plus version would be the go. Mind you, can always just target less boost. These are hitting 20psi by 4500rpm, with such big wheels that is a alot of power at such a low rpm, if they were set to hit 15psi at that RPM range it would be a lot more manageable.
Man it sounds great 👍
Is that the xhp that makes it bounce on the limiter ? Is it just the manual mode or what because I have xhp stage 3 and it doesn't do any of that cool stuff 🤣
It’s Ken’s from wedges custom tune. It didn’t do that before.
Yes first again merry Christmas team
You are legit Paul!!! Thanks for always being in here!! Merry xmas!
Nice!!! The 28psi is probably a boost spike after throttle closure. I'd love to see a log after its tuned. I have the DAW stage 2+ on my car and I'm almost dialed in, but I'm dealing with a bad injector.
How much power you making with the daw stage 2+
@@nobodyno1999 Unfortunately I don’t know. Since I’m dealing with this bad injector I haven’t got a chance to get my tune dialed in 100% and then go to the dyno. On my stock turbos with a full custom E 85 tune I was putting down 466 wheel horsepower with 519 foot pounds of torque. But now with the new DAW turbos I’m running a custom E 50 tune and it feels more powerful but that could just be my “butt dyno.” 🤣
You are 100% correct in regards to shift overboost. It was really only running 25/26psi under wot.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Please show some logs after she’s all dialed in. I’d love to see how those Flow Max perform. And I’d like to see how they compare to my stage 2+. 😉
Mhd keeps disconnecting for me as well. It's frustrating when flashing and logging.
Awesome
how has the reliability of DAW's been? i just ordered a gen2 ultra flow-R but hearing on forums that they have bad reliability and to go with PURE.
Nice man. My car is still on the lift with oil filling my exhaust.
Well good luck!
Andrew this is my big problem it spools turbos so fast and they are so big they spin the tires so even on high speeds with real tires that were very good before these turbos but not anymore. They are Hoosiers they hook so good but on these I needed to get LSD and 15 inch conversion. Btw drive around for 50 miles atleast before going crazy on the turbos I drove for 200 miles or something, congratulations!! And merry Christmas!
Merry Xmas to you too. Man looking forward to see what it can do.
@@ZeroTo60Tube oh you will not be disappointed. Change the plugs and most likely might need LSD or just some Hoosiers on 17 rims it will hook good since your full weight. Or get Mikey Thomson street r not ss the ss is a bit too hard and will spin, I tried different tires these turbos just really need a lot of meat
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN i said it before the street r's dont work for us down here. AR1's are a better tyre on the street and that was with ohhrly which is a lot more powerful than the flow max cars. One thing this car does have in its favour, its already got an LSD.
Becker exhaust for the N54 powered Z4 also has the same 2x2" section where it attaches to the downpipes. WTF were they thinking?
Its like they are not thinking.
Can you show a video how you install the Tran cooler
There is one on the channel that’s much more relevant. This was a repurposed coolant radiator so it’s a rare thing. But the other vid is a universal one, which tbh I think is better.
Wow that’s amazing congrats on getting it together. What hybrids do you recommend for longevity/reliability, 550-600whp daily driving
In Aussie whp that is really a China turbo working hard. It’s a tough one. I will have a better idea on these in the coming weeks and the power curve.
DAW 775RS
For longevity /reliability most people go for RB or Pure in the states. Running a larger wheel at lower psi than maxing out Chinas will probably last longer
With that boost you might need to tweak the plug gaps.
Oh it definitely needs plugs. These are old and miss matched hehe.
Question: Which trans cooler are You using? I read somewhere E39 trans coolers were a "compatible" thing for the ZFs? Oh, and Merry Xmas to You people down under! You get everything early - Xmas, New Year, proper RHD outlets...
This one is actually a coolant radiator from a ppk car. However I think a larger universal one would have probably been better
It seems these DAW Flow Max + turbos are showing early signs of solid performance. Looking forward to when things get dialed in.
To add a bit of perspective (to balance a lot of the understandable criticism): Vargas is a family business, operating since 1978 - 40+ years. It furnishes solutions for VW, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Ford, GM/Chevrolet, Dodge, Mercedes, McLaren, and more - in addition to BMW - for OE replacement products and the aftermarket. It's not a fly-by-night outfit. The biggest controversies with Vargas have been, in the past several years, the result of Anthony (Tony) Vargas being easily triggered/trolled in forums, to which he has had sometimes disproportionately strong responses within the forums. Since Chris has joined the Vargas team, much of that has dissipated, as Chris now more prominently (and more fluidly) addresses the masses on the forums and other channels. But, make no mistake, many of Vargas' products are best-in-class. For example, the Game Changer Full Rebrand (GC F-RB) line of turbos are empirically the best combination of response and flow on the market for the N54 (bar none), for twins - at any cost. Find a turbo that is more responsive and it will not flow as well up top. Find a turbo that flows better than the GC F-RBs and it will not have the same responsiveness or spool characteristics as the GC F-RBs. This is not by accident - Vargas invests copiously in R&D to meet such targets. And, the GC line is selling; substantially. And, many folks who enjoy them aren't the ones who will be posting on forums. They're simply enjoying them (for the sake of analogy, in much the same way that half or more than half of the US identifies as "Republican"; however, Republicans are oftentimes the least vocal or outwardly (e.g., statistically, for example, Democrats tweet significantly more and/or tweet more about politics than do Republicans, but Republicans aren't necessarily outnumbered). Mind you, this is in no way to try to associate any group of persons depicted (those who appreciate vs don't appreciate Vargas) as having a Republican/Democrat affiliation/propensity). Many of the world record holders (including Burger Motorsports) have featured Vargas twins. Even Steve Dinan, who typically over-engineers his solutions for longevity, sustainable power, and response (to and beyond OE quality) favors Vargas turbos for his builds (ticking the boxes of build quality, response, and flow characteristics). ruclips.net/video/7tVNofCCfCY/видео.html (I'd also recommend going back to watch the entire podcast, for a glimpse into the mind of a longstanding automotive engineer - especially with regard to engine tuning, toward the start of the podcast). I know and understand others have had different experiences, nonetheless, I've personally had good/helpful interactions with Vargas himself and have experienced his post-sale support to good effect (including upgrades and expedited shipment, in the face of a mistake/failure on Vargas' part, in addition to extending the warranty in order to cover matters - all without asking). Perhaps Tony's blind spot has historically been to meet fire with even more fire in return. The opposite seems true, however, when he is approached on the other end of the spectrum. Whatever you may think of him or the outfit, however, there is a reason why Vargas has been in business for as long as it has and continues to grow and do well. And, you can be sure that whatever caricature that's been made of Vargas by some cannot possibly be his normative dealings with all individual customers and all of the large business relationships he and family/team have helped to establish, maintain, and grow for decades.
All that being said, I'm also hearing good things about the latest DAW turbos.
Appreciate the detailed comment and insight. Looking forward to seeing some dragy numbers with the F-Rbs thats for sure
Merry Xmas, see you on New Years eve LOL
Andrew… what would you choose if you got option between Daw flow max vs Viv 19T V4 stainless steel?
Flow max. Just because you know they are consistent with quality. VIV can be hit and miss. I also believe the wheels are different on the flow max. The flow max plus spool so well.
wow mhd was doing that disconnect thing to me last week, i couldnt work out what was happening, i was having coolant temp issues at the same time..... then my throttle body fucked up, i ordered a new one, but reset everything and its been fine after a manual throttle body adaption, just found it interesting liek yours was disconnecting as well during coolant issues, maybe mhd software is broken atm
Did you also try yelling at it? Seemed to fix mine.
I got a replacement too from Southern BM but still disconnecting.
They blame car's OBD port which is not true cause after turning phone's wifi off and on it connects again quickly and works, for a little while!
I knew it was going to be the an lines as soon as you said it was trans fluid. I swear I checked and tighten my fuel lines yet still found a leak after the install.
Don’t drink and fit oil coolers is all I have to say on the matter.
Not suprised vtt would do something like that.
🔥
ooooooooooooh YES!
Your videos make me want to get an n54 135i. But I just know how much money I would burn if I got one lol.
haha, we have all been there. Just imagine if you bought a turbo 2J supra 10 years ago and spent like 20k on it. You'd be about 50K up right now..... maybe the same will happen with n54s.... :P
this is me in june, now 9k car and 10 k of mods later...... now i want these daws and i havent even installed my 17ts
Great video. How’s the mom doing by the way?
She is still with us! Its a shitty thing, but it is what it is. Thank you for checking in, i will let her know people are still checking up on here, will make her feel more loved.
100%. Praying she continues to get better! Really admire your work ethic despite the situation. Still though, do spend time with her. RUclips comes second. People will understand :)
How much do you get for the old cat's?? I have an e92 335i exaust system and trying to decide weather I try to sell it as a whole or is it just worth more as scrap metal
Normally between $200 and $300 in Australia, per cat. It adds up when you have 4 of them
Sois los mejores en contenido n54!! Que turbos son los que lleva montado?? 17t??
estos son DAW flow max + parecen muy buenos. No puedo esperar a darles cuerda.
Buenas amigo!! Siento preguntar tanto pero me puedes aconsejar porfavor?? Voi a montar turbos 17t 6+6 y quiero saber qué mapa poner y si antes de montar los turbos cuando llegue de china hay que tener alguna precaución o acción o modificación para que duren o den más efecto ? Gracias otra ves,saludos desde ESPAÑA
Are you using 93 octane premium fuel, or is it E-mix?
Full e85 in this one
I found if you run MHD on airplane mode with wifi on the connection is crisp. Must be why xhp ask for you to do that while tuning.
I always thought airplane mode was a precaution to prevent any outside communications such as texts or phone calls from bricking your ecu during a flash.
MHD claims we should be able to use data along with wifi which seems to be BS.
When buying I thought this is the advantage over the cheaper Thor adapter but it seems mhd just misrepresented their product...
@@ghostrida3 yeah but think of your phones ram doing double duty trying to display data coming in as well as keep connected to cell sites etc. I run the monitor mode on my head unit and can see a noticeable difference when I isolate from cell towers (sim card head unit)
If you read the pdf file from MHD they provide instructions to connect to its IP address I found doing it that way I have less disconnections. My theory has always been when or devices see other WiFi connections it try’s to connect this happens less when your designating the IP address. I could be wrong just my observation
Don't ever stop doing what you love to do, sold my e92 xDrive 6 speed manual black on red and i think about it every day :( Love this channel and I ubsubscribed to help me forget about my N54 LOL. Resub tho

@@ZeroTo60Tube Maybe in the near future! Hopped into a 22' Elantra N-Line with 201hp using 87 octane. Need to focus on buying property here in Ontario (Prices are expensive) Perhaps a B58 in the near future when things are settled. Sacrifices were made unfortunately.
@@ltdasilva93 Man its the smart thing to do and i definitely wont hold that against you. I went chasing business dreams 15 years ago instead of property, and although it had its highs at times, i would have been much better off just buying a bloody house..... ahh well.

Vargas’s Billet products are great, valve cover, catch cans and coolant hoses, everything else I have heard nothing back bad with a few instances of people having luck with them, Vargas’s problem is his lack of respect and the company’s customer service on a whole
No the turbos are not good but everything else is decent yes and toly doesn't give a damn about anybody lol
Yeah that dude basically told a whole Facebook group to piss off. I guess he's into the hardass image over customer service. 🤷

@@tropg are you serious? That hella bad. Wow. I can't believe it
Man you make me spend too much money on my 335.. Fan from south Africa
hehehe, you are welcome!
Is there a point fitting these turbos and running just pump gas? Allready have upgraded St1 turbos.
They will make good power on pump. Just like running a single turbo on pump. As these flow do well up top you can run boost at the top end instead of relying on strong timing and ethanol on the smaller turbos.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I assume that low end and spool up time is much longer on these? If running only pump there will be less exhaust gases to spool them up. No big deal for open roads,but for hairpins it will be no fun. Hard to get all benefits.
good evening my brother and happy birthday. can i ask you something please! I have a bmw 335i e92, and a week ago I put a new turbo in the bmw. why do the new turbos just put on a new tune make a sound like a siren at low revs?
Siren is normally the early signs of turbo failure. However if you have fitted inlets as well, it could just be that.
@@ZeroTo60Tube the turbos are new, could it be something else?
@@johnnybtgd5459 siren is normally turbos on the way out. However people here the turbos a lot more when they first fit inlets. Other thing on my mind is a boost leak, if you are getting a squeal to the siren.
would you purchase these over a single turbo kit
Depends on the car and what you want to do with it. I will go in to this more in videos, but these come on to power earlier than a single. So makes them more useable more of the time. But a single hits harder up top and gives more exciting feel.
The one thing on my mind is how cool singles sound, but again in a daily it’s probably over the top.
Link for the exhaust?
This is the one we got here - ebay.us/EOq9gg

Nice cooler for the transmission looks so OEM what did you use?
Well….. I used an oem coolant radiator from a power pack car.
@@ZeroTo60Tube What's a power pack car?
@@MatthewGlad An option for N54 powered vehicles. It basically makes them 1m spec. 11psi instead of 8, different cooling options and few subtle differences.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks for the information 👍
I see Tony hasn’t changed regarding his dog 💩turbos that he’s sold so many people that expected them to be great! Bloke is awful n so glad I went rbs instead! The DA turbos look good n will be interesting when u stick it on the dyno! Have read some reviews n they seem to cause a lot of heat but time will tell! Happy Christmas N54 community!
Bro what. This is not true I have these turbos from March I push very high boost I never had an issue
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN just a couple people mentioned it on forums having the bigger manifold creating more heat, I suppose you could get them ceramic coated as they do come apart so would be possible! Haven’t chatted to you for ages lol hope cars all good!
I believe they would make more heat than a maxed China turbo. However I bet these run cooler at 25psi than a China turbo does at 25psi.
@@br4d101 yes sir that's true. I have not really noticed that but I have a cold air hellcat style intake hole.in the headlight which has blowing on the back to the turbos as well
@@ZeroTo60Tube will be good to see the numbers and how quickly the car gets heat soaked or if it even does! The 7” intercooler will help keep intake temps down, my Wagner stepped 5” creeps up quiet quickly!
This is why people need to avoid Vargas at all costs.. to this day he doesn't vett his own product. About a year ago I bought a brake kit thru turbo Tony direct for my A90 Supra. When it finally arrived, only half of the parts were there. When I asked where the rest of the kit was he told me it wasn't working out like he originally discribed so that's what the kit now consisted of. The kit was unusable as a result and had to file a paypal claim in order for him to take it back. The guy is beyond shady..
The verdict is still out. I don’t think he’s shady. But very zero effs. Not great for a businessman.
@Zero To 60 one thing I do know is you're better off for not having his of his product on your car. Do a search on Tony turbo/ Vargas, when you can.. he's got a large presence on the forums.
While I highly appreciate the content, please dont overwork yourself, its not like we will be running away or something lol
Hoping to see how those turbos go
Also Merry xmas! its already 25 over there. Thank you for all the content and laughs
Thanks for the very kind words appreciate the love. Always over work myself. It’s what I do best. Lol.
@@ZeroTo60Tube as a fellow overworking night owl I feel you
Dumb question; but why did you heat cycle the motor ? To bed in gaskets or something ?
Basically to check for leaks mainly. Just get everything to temp and see if there was any reason not to drive it.
Seeing that exhaust got me excited for the Link but then that 1.5 inch BS pissed me tf off for some reason 😂😂
It’s crazy! I have messaged them to see if the main company knows this is what they are being made like. I assume the manufacturer has done the dodgey on a batch
@@ZeroTo60Tube oh gosh hopefully they fix it !
Ya got boost! Just too much now. 😂 Get Ken to feed in the boost way more progressively or it will be a nightmare to hook up.
Well I think I’ll get it dialed in for the Ar1’s so when on street tyres it does just blow em off. Yolo
Gonna need grooved slicks for that thing 🙂
Yeah, the road is actually dry, i thought it had been raining, just fried brain from trying to get the car done in the daylight. It going to need sticky rubber, then axles..... :|
@@ZeroTo60Tube remember you were telling me oh Alex get the street tires with sticky rubber lol I tried believe me I tried these turbos spool so hard only drag radial will keep it better
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN I find the drag radials dont work on the street. But got to remember, different climate and different surfaces.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I don't know I can't hook on harder compound tire at high boost like 650 whp or more, but I am lighter and when I was getting lighter it's harder to catch the traction on open diff. the softer the compound the better it hooks for me but you need to heat them up good before. Maybe the climate is so different there I don't know. the street like rubber like r888 or something similar works good but only like under 560 whp or so, I tried different tires but the best were the Mikey Thomson and now Hoosier, but they stop working that good after about 50-70% thread, Hopefully will hook with the LSD now I can't wait I really want to test and see how it will do with the LSD. By the way Merry Christmas!!
Mhd likes to disconnect randomly when there are other wifi connections around , I would recommend deleting any other saved wifi connections you have in your phone to maintain your single connection with the MHD dongle
Dang bro that sounds complicated lol
@@ALEX.THE.RUSSIAN what's really complicated is they even have a preferred IP they want you to use , not really sure if it's still relevant but I remember reading about it in one of the changelogs for MHD
