Does anyone know if on3 addressed these issues in the 2/3 years since this vid was posted? Do i need to still account for these issues when purchasing the kit in 2023?
@@335iN54Enthusiast I figured, just thought I’d ask.. did some more research and I’ll be going with a DOC Race kit. I don’t mind paying a bit more to have the details taken care of. I’m not as handy as you man! 🤣
@@geo745don single turbo will be more reliable and make more power with less boost. Twins will have little to no lag, but make more tq than power and run out of efficiency top end. Single will lag more but power will continue to build to redline.
Great video, I bought the same kit but im currently waiting on the downpipe and wastegate dump to start the install. This video was perfectly timed. Subbed.
Be ready for that windshield wiper reservoir to be melted man..!!! Mine already did. Also the A/C sensor plug an wires got melted as well as the abs ones... just a reminder of what you are going to go through. Nice video, enjoy your car bro!
I'll never understand why more guys don't re-ruote that vacuum line to the brake booster. it's so easy and really cleans up that side of the engine bay... it's an easy DIY but ECS also sells a kit for only like $40... Otherwise great video, cars coming together nicely
Looks great! Im thinking this is the only option for me to finally get rid of wastegate rattle. Im not chasing huge numbers but Ive already installed hybrids 20K miles ago and Im hearing rattle already. Its driving me crazy. It really makes me hate my car. The hybrids supposedly had upgraded wastegates pfft !!! Im told that all Twin Turbo setups will rattle eventually but I wasn't expecting it after 20k miles !!
I go over that issue in this video. Instead of 6 o'clock position 7 o'clock works fine and is acceptable but you will need different fittings to make that work.
@@335iN54Enthusiast I saw that, thank you so much. I started this project last winter and now that it's nice out I want to finish it and today i was struggling with that.
@@335iN54Enthusiast Them saying those ports on the side of the turbo arent for coolant is like the dumbest shit ive ever heard, they could have easily used the stock coolant lines to cool that turbo as well and make it last way longer
Always KILLER videos!!!!! You should check out the vacuum relocation kit ESC has. Part# ES#4040572. You can make your own and just use fuel hose and the connections from the stock tube. ECS hose is molded but a fuel hose will do the job. It routs behind the intake so its out of sight. Cleans up the bay a little. I was having two issues and found both solutions from your video. Thanks for the content.
At 6:21 when you do a dry mount/test fit the turbo. I can see that you are having the similar turbo as I have (looking at the turbo center housing, maybe you ball bearing with coolant cooled turbo). Do you run coolant for these coolant port at the turbo to the block?
i have the same kit on my car, use to run the same turbo as well and the drain was sucha bitch. i got it at true 6oclock but had to make a custom drain. also you'll need to put some type of heat management(3/4 heat wrap for tubing) on the top side of the drain because if not it'll melt no matter wat, since its so close to the hot side no matter how u clock it. the 6266 no longer has this issue .
i ran the same hose too, itll last for a while but then youll start to see smoke and it will be that hose all melted, try to not put it on the top barb so it can get away from the hotside a bit more. i ended up upgrading to 3/4in stainless wrapped hose wrapped in dei heater tubing and now its been good
Very nice job best video I could find only thing I’m sure you’ve figured out by now is that I believe you have to keep one boost solenoid plugged in and hidden away to prevent the dme from throwing a code? Is that still the case or was that disabled through the jb4 in some way? Maybe it’s just an mhd thing I’m not sure.
Was the spring inside the waste gate actually 13psi bc I thought it came with a 6psi spring and 13 psi one but you are suppose to swap it in? Any input ?? Trying to assemble my own waste gate right now
Dont you think it's best to leave the burbles off? I've heard it's very stressful on the components especially the turbo. Glad you got it together though, sick build.
Great video boss and by far best ST install guide. So im planning on running this kit on my 335, do i need to run a jb4 to actually have the mac solenoid work. If not how do i go about getting it to work properly and is there an alternative if the jb4 is needed for the mac solenoid to actually work
Any of u diy do it bare hands ? I find gloves hard to use lataz rips other one bulky. Pnly thing i got is small hands for tight parts. But ..man my hands look all cut up after and jusy mia for awhjle agter a few jobs

Would there be any issues to use o2 sensor where bank1 connects to the bank2 manifold? I got bank2 o2 on the bank2 manifold and bank1 o2 sensor on the bank2 manifold where the bank1 connects to it.
Should be...pull the steering rack oug of the way though. 2 bolts. Or u may not even need to move that.. try reaching your arm in there around the subframe
@@335iN54Enthusiast I’m running a bef I did everything u do even with the solenoid and that works the lines run correctly but I didn’t open the wastegate to see what spring is in it
people shouldn't buy more parts and custom fab kit after they buy kit like that.. just sad how you have to spend all that good chunk of money for the kit that's poorly put together.

They have not addressed any of these issues ever and trust me they know about them.

Good choice!!!
I needed this video about 4 weeks ago lol... I got it done in 12 hours and had to deal with all the same things. Nice job sir!
where did you buy the kit seems to be out of stock everywhere
On3 had them in stock.
@@335iN54Enthusiast
When you go online it says out of.stock, been looking for weeks
what's the difference between the twins and this guys, please note any difference are improvements

I appreciate your in depth content! You deserve more subs!
your an amazing tech, so thorough, yet you bring it down to laymen terms.
Great video, I bought the same kit but im currently waiting on the downpipe and wastegate dump to start the install. This video was perfectly timed. Subbed.
Great video as always. Hopefully in a couple of months I’ll be fabbing up my own “budget” single turbo kit using the stock turbo manifolds

how is that Low Rpm Torque compared to the stock Twins
Cant wait for an update on this!

Believe it or not single turbo setup tends to be more reliable then twins
Yes and way easier to work on.
Always great videos 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you George !!
Exactly what I need !
Awesome, I'm currently doing the same thing but my problem is that the oil drain hits the v band and I can't get it to clock correctly.

Nice work getting that fitted, but honestly, it looks like a half-assed kit to me. I hope you got it for a significant discount.
Thanks...it's definitely a half assed kit....On3 likes to play stupid and sell incomplete kits... terrible service.

I was told specifically by on3 these turbos don't need to be water cooled...which is weird because they do have coolant ports...

Thanks. And huh? The only boost solenoid I have is a mac and I don't get any codes. The other plug I cut off its no longer needed.
@@335iN54Enthusiast oh alright that’s what I wanted to know usually when something isn’t plugged in on a bmw it will throw a code saying it’s missing.
Hey great video. I have a 535i and wanted to do the same set up. What are your thoughts on that. And how much was the kit
Awesome. 3k
Was the spring inside the waste gate actually 13psi bc I thought it came with a 6psi spring and 13 psi one but you are suppose to swap it in? Any input ?? Trying to assemble my own waste gate right now
Supposed to be 13 yes.
Dont you think it's best to leave the burbles off? I've heard it's very stressful on the components especially the turbo. Glad you got it together though, sick build.
Yes I think technically it is best to leave burbles off. Does put a little bit of strain on the turbo side.
@@335iN54Enthusiast They're just so addicting lol
Great video boss and by far best ST install guide. So im planning on running this kit on my 335, do i need to run a jb4 to actually have the mac solenoid work. If not how do i go about getting it to work properly and is there an alternative if the jb4 is needed for the mac solenoid to actually work
You need jb4.
Any of u diy do it bare hands ? I find gloves hard to use lataz rips other one bulky. Pnly thing i got is small hands for tight parts. But ..man my hands look all cut up after and jusy mia for awhjle agter a few jobs
U just answered your own question right there.
looking to do a turbo upgrade on my 335i. overall are you happy with this kit? price is reasonable for sure , i think we live close? i am near hamilton, feedback is appreciated thanks.
I think overall yeah I'm happy with it for the price...
Can you do this with a 3 port ? I have jb4 and mhd custom tune with doc vu
A 3 port solenoid? Yes.
If I have questions I know who to come to 🤙
Why’d you tap into the actual turbo and not the pipe right after? It’ll measure the same.
True but there's more meat on the turbo son.
Would there be any issues to use o2 sensor where bank1 connects to the bank2 manifold? I got bank2 o2 on the bank2 manifold and bank1 o2 sensor on the bank2 manifold where the bank1 connects to it.
My tuner says bank1 looks weird
If the o2 is plugged into the wrong bank it's not going to run smoothly.
@@335iN54Enthusiast that is the weird part. It is running well haha. The bank1 o2 is installed where the manifold connects. I will try and move it
@@335iN54Enthusiast Also, do you believe there is space to re-install the o2 from below? Without dropping subframe again?
Should be...pull the steering rack oug of the way though. 2 bolts. Or u may not even need to move that.. try reaching your arm in there around the subframe
Is this the “vband manifold” or the “t4 manifold”? and which turbo did you go with ?
Vband. 61mm . Turbo didn't last long...though.
@@335iN54Enthusiast Did you replace the On3 turbo, if so which one did you go with? trying to figure turbo specs to price out on an upgraded turbo
At 3:04 is that an aftermarket coolant pipe or the stock one? Just wondering if the stock one will fit without modification
Yes it is the stock coolant pipe.
What size of turbo did you get?
61mm
Did the kit come with new exhaust gaskets?
I don't think so.
Really stupid question but does it work with a 135i?
I think so.
Do u know what psi spring come with the on3 wastegate
13psi. Which is fine and I would suggest using a mac solenoid for boost control
I have the same setup and my car only make 5psi of boost
@@335iN54Enthusiast I’m running a bef I did everything u do even with the solenoid and that works the lines run correctly but I didn’t open the wastegate to see what spring is in it
How did you tune for the 4 port solenoid?
Docvu tuning
Where you got the mounts spacer?
Got it from my toolbox lol....you can just use washers too though
Where can buy this kit the downpipe just need that
On3.
Do you need a backend flash if you have jb4
Its best to yes.
Are you still running this kit? How has it held up?
That on3 turbo didn't last a month.
How did you set up your oil catch can?
I'll have A video for that soon. I have a new setup from burger tuning. One for boost side...one for vacuum side. I have to install it still.
Why do u needa wrap that stuff on it??
Heat control?!?!
people shouldn't buy more parts and custom fab kit after they buy kit like that.. just sad how you have to spend all that good chunk of money for the kit that's poorly put together.
Right!!
