- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- If you're looking to add massive amount of power to your BMW 335i (Or any other high performance car) it's very important that you do it the right way without taking shortcuts. I chose to take minor shortcuts and it ended up catching up to me, causing my e93 335i to not drive efficiently. Don't cheap out and you'll end up with a reliable supercar killer.

Let me go ahead and clear up a few things since I keep seeing the same comments pop up over and over.
Aaly removing the injector cover and apparently waiting too long to install them. It appears in the video that it took a while because of how I edited the clips. Notice the minute he removes the cover off one injector I cut to the scene where we take a look at the old injectors. If you look closely you'll notice the cover is still on all 6 injectors. I just happened to place that clip after him removing the cover (which happened before) and honestly I'm not sure why. It literally took him a minute or less to remove the cover, snap a pic and install them. Car runs fine, zero issues.
Paying a shop and not doing it myself. I've answered this in the past but I'll address it here as well. Me and PSI are partners, I don't pay for labor. It greatly benefits me to have them do a lot of the work on my BMWs because quite frankly I don't have the time nor tools (lift, power tools etc) to do it myself. Sure I can work on my cars (I've done so in the past) but I rather do it this way and have more time for my family and more time to shoot more videos. If they are small jobs I don't mind doing them myself like the injectors. But this time around I realized I wasn't prepared and instead of wasting time I took it to the shop. This is not a DIY channel. Go watch Tavarish for that.
If you need a quote contact Precision Sport Industries directly, because I don't have that information.
All that said, I appreciate each of you watching and thank you for the support 👊🏼
As long as the seals didn't swell it wasn't too long. Gotta love the armchair mechanics slinging mud.
You can tell they are good mechanics. They do what works..not always exactly what it says in the books....
We are here to help! Email us, DM us, we want to educate the community on the importance of maintenance, especially prior to performance.
@@PrecisionSportIndustries engine refresh alone has to cost a few pennies. But I'm sure after watching his vids most of us want to do it.
What did that set you set back?
So now all thats left is the water pump to fail? SWEET
😂
And high pressure fuel pump
The second body kit looks perfect use that one
I agree.
I second that
yes I agree. Looks clean
Agreed!
The second body kit, black, looks better. The first one, green, is badass, but not with that wing.
I gotta say man, you have really built a high quality and entertaining channel here. Mad props.
Thanks brother 👊🏼
At 12:31 I thought this dude was rubbing his meat lmaooo
That should've been deleted 😂😂😂
SON I DEAD PAUSED THE VIDEO AND BOUT SAY THE SAME THING LMAO 😂
Pause ! ... I acted like I didn't see that.
🤣
IronHardAirsoft lmaoo I was wondering if anybody was gonna say something
CHANGE YOUR VOLTAGE REGULATOR it’s so easy just remove the airbox and the cover on the alternator, I paid 40$ for the Bosch regulator at car quest. Mine left me stranded when it started charging at 17v and killed my battery, also was somehow discharging with the car off since the alternator would be hot after sitting overnight. Actually fixed a 3-4K rpm misfire too
Changed my voltage regulator and alternator at the same time. I got mine from Turner Motorsports
2nd Body kit for the E30
I just started my build up of my 335i. I got pissed because I had to replace the engine gasket, oil pan gaskets, transfer case gasket, HDFP, Waterpump, and Alternator. So after all that I said eff it and got a ton of stuff going into the car. Injectors, walnut blasting intake, plugs, coils, FMIC, JB4, charge pipe w/Tial BOv, CPe dps, etc etc. Oh and M3 conversion just happened to the body too. I will have to do a walk around video at some point. This is just my DD while I figure out what I’m doing with my EVO X
I pulled my injectors by hand and picks. Coded them with pro tool in like an hr or so. No codes or misfires.
It sounds so much better! I am running v7 on all my injectors and will replace them prior to turbo replacement too. Cool video! Glad you figured out the injector issues. 👍🏻
Absolutely No reason to pull the end caps off the injectors that soon. I figured dude was going to install them right away and then he stars snapping pictures. He could have jot those numbers down just prior to inserting them. That black o ring starts to swell as soon as that cap is removed making it tougher to get into the injector seat and increasing risk for pinching it.
Was thinking the same thing...
I’m surprised no one else has said anything about this lol, I was literally cringing when he was pulling them off
I'm getting my e92 335xi in a few days. Your channel convinced me that I needed one haha.
Right on!
Enjoy it. Got mine last year with 70k miles now at 86k only thing I’ve done is oil filter housing gasket. Mhd stage 1+ so far
Thank you. I have an r56 mini cooper s with the n18 and it has very similar issues
That the n54 has
Same here, this channel convinced me! I just bought a 2008 335xi 64k (Manual trany) a couple of weeks ago. It does have a lite wastegate rattle. As soon as I can get it registered im gonna get started on upgrading the weak points of the car.
Rookie mistake: adding huge power before adding a BBK.
I have over $10,000 in Brembos, floating rotors, Castrol synthetic brake fluid SRF, at $80 a liter, and aggressive pads.
They were worth every penny.
I live in South East Florida, land of the blind and crazy drivers.
My brakes have SAVED my life. Several times.
Your lack of brakes and all that power will kill you.
Or injury you so badly, you were wish you were dead.
Bro, don't even refurbish your brakes. UPGRADE them. No matter what the cost. You will live longer... and prosper.
Installing a set of Brembos or Stoptechs and rotors is easy as pie.
2nd body kit, the 1st is too much wing.
Yeah I agree
Oh that 2nd Body kit No question about it
Lmaooo legit got a Tai Lopez ad 10 seconds after the "here in my garage" 😂😂😂🤣
💀💀
The second body kit is gold!!
bruh the when you put the comment up ab the guys not being enthusiastic enough i died 😂
The second one (Black one) is badass
Body kit 2 for the win!
Yeah. Different car now. To make this N54 engine running perfect, need big money. But after that. ❤️❤️❤️. You are doing well job. Maintaine first. This tune cost you lot of money.
Just an FYI on the mixed number injectors. I have the same issue with two index 6 injectors and four index 9 injectors. What happened was back in 2011 or prior there was an injector recall for the n54, but back then they would pull the injectors and test them and only replace the ones that failed whatever testing they did. So in my cars service history you can see the record of all six injectors being pulled and two of them were reinstalled and four were replaced. I assume the same thing possibly happened with your car.
Probably so. I think that may have happened when they replaced my HPFP.
First to be edited soon....because here at the Krusty Crab we believe that he who smelt it, dealt it...lol. Glad the issue was resolved and the 335i could go back to making healthy choo choo noises. 😏👍 Great company and great video! Thanks Cristian! Bsst wishes and Peace out brother!
😂
Appreciate you man 👊🏼
Damn brother I would have recommended fcpeuro.. lifetime warranty.
I would've too after he said ECS
I think he might have an obligation to use ECS if he has an affiliate link
@@carterlynn9707 Ahhhhhhh, Understandable
I also prefer fcp
Sure until FCP Euro goes out of business ...
Worst thing about bmw electric water pumps is the car knows exactly when it fails but doesn't warn you till the cars getting too hot🤦🏼♂️
Me at 8:35 : "why tf would you touch the injector"
You right after: "Why would I touch a hot injector"?
I'm glad we're on the same page
That second body kit is heat
I hear the latest index injectors last a long long time compared to the early revisions...fingers crossed you get many many years from these.
2nd body kit and the 335 sound amazing bro
I changed my injectors at home, and if you don't want to wait for the car to cool down completely and for the fuel system to depressurize, you could pull the fuel pump fuse will the car is running, it will quickly run the system out of gas and the car will turn off within seconds. That way when you disconnect the fuel rails they wont spray so much gas out.
This all sounds familiar...…I had the same problems but at 5:37 why didn't he remove the coils before removing the high pressure fuel line??? some fuel can leak into the spark plug area and then the coil pack rubber expands and deforms but if that does happen put it on a radiator and the heat will make the rubber go back to normal. Easy way use a rag and wrap it around the line then undo it>>>>
Car sounds amazing after the injectors swap! If you plan on doing your own injectors, I found a small trick on removing them, also I used protool to program them.
Also, injector puller tool that fits them is $20, on Amazon: "Diesel Injector Puller M8 M12 M14 ADAPTORS"
If the subframe is removed it's possible to replace the turbous without taking the engine out. For us hobbby entusiasts. 👍🤙
I should have been more persistent and went with PSI. Also looking into injector now.
That “here in my garage” got me goooood 😂😂😂
This Ali guy is legit, works smart and always knows what he’s doing i think. I’m glad u work with these guys
Good mechanic impossible to find by me i wish i had guys like this even with 50 mile radius. That is why i only work on my stuff myself now
OH HELL NAW 2nd kit for sure lmao. That first one is wayy too extra
Lmfao how u were tryina grab the tool and he just didn’t let go, i felt that
Lto all day long. The kit is pure madness love the guys
I hate being that guy to say this but... I had a blue manual E92 in the same boat as you, came to a point of deciding either to full built the N54 or get rid of it and spend the extra for a F32... I honestly am glad I sold it and bought the F32, yes worse steering feedback, but way less issues, newer car, now with a simple tune and catless downpipe, I'm just satisfied and happy with it. I'm glad everything worked out for you in the end though!
P.S: I changed my injectors on my N54 and it was easy and fast, I didn't even have that pull out tool lol, but I did the job and had no issues with it.
I never said changing the injectors were hard, in fact I said it was a easy job. Just didn't have the tools at the moment.
Local to Orlando, N55 Owner, Will be looking for a 40 roll in about 3 months once I tune, down pipe and exhaust on my car!
Cleanest e93 on the internet 🥵
2nd body kit. I’m all about big wings but I think the 1st is a little too extreme
no matter what, that damn beemer looks damn GOOD.
I made the same mistake. But I blew a ring before I caught the problem. Consider yourself lucky!
$1400 injectors > $3500 motor replacement
Sheesh, that sounds a lot better...😳 Paul Walker would approve this video... Love the blow off valve and turbo sounds. 💪🏽
I've had nothing but good results with index 8. Even better than index 12. Really easy to find on eBay because people pull their entire set to upgrade to 12s. The price is perfect. $50 - $70 a single index 8 injector on eBay.
I broke one of the screw that holds the bracket by doing this like they did , using an impact drill , i knew it was stupid but i did anyways, turned out it was a nightmare to remove that screw. They really look like enthusiasts at the shop doing that and not torqued them properly 🤣
Could've used bimmergeeks protool to code them
2 years of 1500 today 3500 lol
Shop around my house wanted $2000 for 3 injectors + labor. I bought index 12s on fcp euro(Lifetime warranty) and Changed them myself. You could code them on Protool as well. I did everything for about $750 😬
Thanks for the upload, great channel
I noticed you only mention the cost of the parts, why not include the labor too? It would help people not make the same mistake.
IMO no one should have an n54 who can't change they're own water pump , inlets, down pipes...ect.... the cost is way too high. Just my .2 cents
Did not need the puller for my injector swap. Used INPA to code mine. You can mix injectors as long as they are not on the same bank!
Expensive car, expensive to play, and even more expensive to go fast in an expensive car. 😁😌
I made a slide hammer my self aswell with 2 pieces of pipe 1x with a bolt the fits the injector, everything’s easier with a welder 👌
Second body kit no doubt
that "here in my garage' took me out lmao
2nd body kit is nice!
Index 12s are a must
The build is coming along sooo nice. I see a 335i in my near future
jeez, im glad i did mine myself lol, dudes are mad max about it
What psi charge you to over haul the motor and install the turbo upgrade
I'm curious as well. If he paid $3k for the turbos, and another say $3k for all the work, then $1500 for injectors... Might just save my money and get an M3 or M2.
Me and PSI are partners, I didn't pay for labor.
-Ev1l And be 2 times slower lol?
-Ev1l yeah saving another 30-40k is easy to say and then what? The car is not going to stays stock, he would do the same with the M3 or M2
@@Deyan741 Im by no means saying that is what anyone else should do. In my case it wouldnt be worth the cost and unreliability to buy that car and do those upgrades, so i would rather save my money and get a newer, slower car that will likely last longer and be less work. If you add up all the cost of the car, the maintenance, and upgrades costs, it would likely be over $20k. I would just rather buy a used higher spec car to keep stock, rather than upgrade a lower spec car to be faster. I was just trying to start a discussion to see others thoughts on the financial aspect of this car, not telling other people what they are doing is bad.
I seems very strange that there were two different injector types in this car. The 335i had an injector recall and the injectors should have been done right from the stealership because of that. But who knows what the previous owner did or the shop that might have done the recall work. (At least in Canada they did the recall on them I'm not sure about the USA).
Those injectors have 1-time use seal that expands after taking the metal cap off, they should be inserted right away. When removing injector for inspection (can't visually tell if they are bad so it's pointless), that seal needs to be replaced or it might not seal properly. Those metal couplers are not compressing, they are simple spacers, simply reuse them from old injector if they are not badly bent.
And to properly test injectors use BMW software not some all-in-one scanner. Only Inpa or Ista will show each injector live data to be able to see which one might be bad. Disabling injectors won't help much, that's not where the problem is. Disabling them is helpful with other diagnoses.
Wanna test injector easily, do not remove it its pointless, remove spark plug some time after driving, fuel on spark plug = leaking injector, but it's only one of many ways they fail. The only proper test is BMW software injector live data.
And lastly, any Index before 9 I would replace straight away and Index 9 I would replace if there is any observable problems like rough run.
Shop should know not the take off the metal cover off the injector unless he's going to install it right away
That's what I was going to comment. He had them out way too long before installing them. Can take pics before you pull the cover
When u were testing out the car toward the end you were talking so fast it sound like it was sped up lolol
I was too excited lol
How much did this cost you? I'm still set on one day, buying this car. It'll save me time and money on forged internals.
My one injector was fucked, took them out to replace and they were 12's. Sold for a nice chunk and awaiting some stage 3 hi flows soon. The beginning of this video worried me.
taking my car up to psi in march for some pure 600s and possibly injectors :)
enthusiastic? thats the best asian on youtube!!!
i'm running the exact same setup as you are on my 135, Only difference is I have the Tial BOV and Agency Power exhaust. Also in Orlando area, maybe will see you at a meetup. Check out Orlando Bimmer Club, great bunch of guys, lots of meetups
Right on man! I follow their page on Facebook. I just lurk though lol
+1 for the second one!
I gotta get my injectors serviced sometime soon......
Am going to check these guys out. My 335i doping to much gas
Bruh your 335i is clean I can't lie
Should have left those caps on until you were literally dropping them in. The purpose is to keep them from expanding which you let them do by leaving the cap off before installing.
You have done right by this car man!
PSI does some good work. I would recommend if you’re in the Central Florida area. Too bad I couldn’t hang around in the shop bc of COVID-19 :/
Doesnt BMW now install index 12 injectors for free?
My didn't qualify for that recall.
You should do a video breaking down how to tune mhd/ custom tunning thru mhd or whatever youre doing bro for the noobs like myself currently thinking to buy a e60 535xi or a f10 535xi so im looking at tunning
May include something like that in the video where I do acceleration times.
You are suppose to install injectors right of way right after you pull those cap....
I installed The fuel injectors myself and I never had to program the injectors to my car , plus it was working perfectly fine
Not swapping those injectors is a huge mistake! If they run poor, you'll take out some valves or even a pistonhead
Brilliant video Bro go with the second body kit Stay safe 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Bro you should do some burnouts and drift you have a great car and another thing (exhaust pop corn )
The second body kit for the e30 looks nice but the first one looks also nice but I would figure its for like drifting and real racing yknow
the second body kit look fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Minimizing turbo lag is key
Remove turbo lag, you must
Twin scroll right?
I’m definitely doing engine maintenance before anything when I get my 335i
The 2nd kit is the best one for your e30 IMHO.
Take it back to stock tune and retune it again will gain the massive power u where looking for
Awesome video! I might be changing my injector's soon as well on my e46 330 Ci
love N54 videos! Keep it up :)
"Look at That Wang!" 😅🤣🤙🏼
When I want sound do I just leave it in the 3-4 gear yk and go slightly high in 2-3k rpm then let off throttle or is that bad? Or do I upshift and then let throttle out or I’m not sure how to do it exactly so it can be healty
Can't wait to see the final tune an numbers!
Same here!
Hey man I’m in celebration area sort of by where you’re at. I wanted to know if you’d be interested in doing a video on out cars in comparison. I have the exact same 2008 e93 335i but I have not taken care of it nearly as much as you have so maybe a “n54 taken care of compared to not taken care of” video! Haha let me know if interested, we could do some pulls and walk around a and what not.
Cant wait to se the power she puts out
Qué nave, está quedando muy bien la actualización. Perdón, pero necesitaba postear algo en español 😀👍
Love the vids bro
