CAR CHECK! My S54 318ti

- In this video we are diving into and discussing my M3 powered 318ti. This car is a workhorse and has seen a few evolutions over a few years. I wanted to revisit it with you guys for an update of where it’s at.

Cons: It’s the FD off season
Pros: Chelsea posts videos
Glad to see you posting more often. I hope you try to keep it up when things get busy prepping for fd
More mufflers, I love it. Loud doesn't mean good. Sounding good and being loud are mutually exclusive.
That TI is the jam. I remember watching it get built, and the cage and all. Was so stoked on that car & would love to see more content of it sideways
Love this thing. Used to have a 323ti myself (in europe we had a 2.5L m52 ti for a while) with some very basic mods like bushings, coils, x-brace etc.
Fun and very unasuming. Did some roadtrips to Germany, Sweden, Norway and back. Hauled my mountainbikes to al kinds of places. A workhorse.
Nice video, good to finally see a breakdown of the Ti 🙂 and nice to see some more regular videos, great work dude 👍
Love vids like this. Teaches so much about these chasis
I love that the Ti still has the 4cyl coil pack bracket😂
"Keeping a car quiet is one of my favorite things ever" AGREE
Just bought a 180sx and it sounds really cool but I can't wait to put a cat back on it lmao
Enjoying the content Denofa!
Loving the uploads again!
there is a editing error in there. nothing major
Yeah it tripped me out lol
lol must of read my mind. was going to message you to nerd out over ti stuff but now you uploaded this so i can just take all the notes.
Keep the videos coming Chelsea!
Hey Chelsea thanks for posting this. Been a huge fan of the Ti for so long and (for me anyways) yours is such a legendary well known car. Prob a bit strange hopping from the RTR to this hey? Haha great vid. Love the build.
Loving these vids!
The welded together main and tender rear spring is noteworthy. I personally love those seems kinda sketchy but it works deals.
How did I not know you had a channel. Mad I wasn't consuming this content earlier. Chelsea you rock dude.
Didnt know you had a youtube channel, glad to find out!
Glad to see a break down of the suspension on that car. As a stupid idiot E30 driver I learned the hard way that the rear end is trash and slowly went up in tire size to gain grip. I’m now on a 12k spring and like 1/2 inch of droop to disable the rear end. I’m gonna give your setup, or something similar to it, a shot and see if I can get any better grip out of my shitcan. Thanks Chelsea!
You're the reason I own a 318ti!!! Mines silver
I love how he keeps his setup simple. I wish he had a good formula for a street / drift setup for an e46 sedan 330i. I know I would need an oil cooler ,ps steEring cooler? and anything else where I could keep it simple and cost effective. I bought my 03 330i because of Chelsea. Had a 240 zenki with an sr that I sold to switch to BMW. I want my car to look like cory miskos but still streetable with ac cuz Vegas. Love CD he's the REALEST!
That ebrake boot install clean AF bro. Reminds me of my own e36 lol
This is what I want my 318ti to be one day!
Really like the content and regularity your are putting in you tube. Just minor changes as : double scene with Radiator/clutch fan and if you could reduce dB of the Car scenes when you are talking would be perfect. Also like your implication in some Facebook forum Mustang / drift community.
That yellow Alfa Romeo is sick!!
This thing is badass I always wanted swapped 318 now you just need LTW wing for the Lols
I don’t even have a BMW and I still learned something. Hope you have a video about that S197 school of drift car Loren healey drove!
it’s literally a e36 compact, i love it
I have oem Z3 3.0 2in2out muffler on my S54 swapped Ti. Fits perfectly and silences it almost to stock level. Also you can also weld in plates to rear beam to adjust toe and camber.
I have those. Can’t get to less than 2.5° while keeping any toe in
@@chelseadenofa Plates have to be measured and aligned before welding for the specs you want. Also slightly bent arm could cause that too. I went from 2.7° to 1.5-2.0 range with enough toe adjustment range for toe out and toe in at the set height level.
Currently in the progress of overbuilding my 2nd ti.
I've also got a hellrot 318ti this gives me so many ideas lol
Chelsea hear me out; paint it white then always rock white wheels, some white type s underglow, & maybe a little purple or gold decals. 👌
Nah dude
@@lordperezident Shah dude
Cool vid. Do a m52b28 e36 setup video
I saw you at nmra at beech bend. I didnt realize it was you
My m20 makes some really nice noises from the front end, I agree intake>exhaust
my m52 as well BUT the S54 sounds rerally terrible from the exhaust side, imo the worst sounding cola can sounding motor on this planet, so i get why he put so many mufflers under it and the he still got so much intake sound cause of the ITB´s... so on you´re m20 or on any other BMW R6 you get some nice exhaust notes but not with that s54 lol
@@1990Redline it's unfortunate that one of the best performing engines sounds the worst
@4:50 idk I had 96 accord (cd6) f20b 5speed swap with all the bolt ons. Inside the car on a pull you can hear the induction noise so good, that in videos people thought it was turboed. BUT also it was loud as well even with a muffler it still scream when it the VTEC opened
As well. I like how it sounded, because it wasn't the obnoxious rasp a lot of Honda were known for, it was more of a deeper for the lack of a better term, throatier, but when VTEC opened it got LOUD
I still want the e46, but I can’t afford it.. makes me sad it’s just been sitting these past couple years.
EPIC.....😎
Chelsea please go over exhaust back pressure for these cars
100% Induction noise is better! My S52 Swapped E30 is the same way. Plus you can drive without drawing attention to yourself.
21:03 hella math skills dude
What kind of rear sway bar did you run before? The stock one is really tiny and is on a weird angle at low ride hight.
Damn am I really getting old already? Put blast pipes on my Silvia and less than a week later welded on a Vibrant ultra quiet and now I am about to put another one on to shut it up even more
Nice
Any catch if this was a Welded Diff or LSD? I know he use to looooove using crazy carbon lsd on his old pro car with a ton of different diffs
INDUCTION NOISE
my 2.2 ecotec makes so much induction noise lol... but only around 180 wheel horsepower. until its turbo'd...
Hey Chelsea. What happened with the GTX? Do you still have it? Please don’t tell me it’s rusting away in the yard! Loved the video man!
Sold it
Mrs. Chelsea is going to have to eat a whole box of those donuts to balance the car out lol
Ooooh I'd be careful with that one hahaha
I hate BMW's but love your channel. 👍🏁🔰
Cross jacking but raising the passenger side ride hight with the coilover??
do you plan to go the VF route or the turbo route?
Hey Chelsea, I'm trying to get into drifting and I've got a 323is with an M52b25. Right now it has the 2.93 gears in the diff which is welded. Should I swap to 3.15 or 3.45 gear or will I be fine running the 2.93 gears with stock power?
Also, are power steering coolers needed?
Love the content, I have learned a lot about drifting and e36 chassis!
Thanks!
one of the best engines imo! give it some 5w50 tho so it´tl last loooong :D also go something like 3.15 wich is awesome or even better would be the 3.23 diff, that gives you something arround an extra 10% torque on the wheels in comparison to the 3.15..
I'm trying to find a 3 series e36/e46 and I'm having a hard time deciding. Are all the trim models basically just as reliable as the next? 323 325 328 330 ect, I want what would be the best daily on a budget and with cheapest insurance and best reliability regardless if it has less power, any info appreciated.
@@chasefroning I'm more a e39 guy, but since they share pretty much the important stuff, I would ALWAYS go for a m52! A even more so if you're ok a budget. I'm from Germany so I don't know what the models cost you over there, but if you can go for a e36 m52b25 or b28 (but got higher compression and tends to be more aggressive compared to the b28) if you want to go for an e46 go for the m52(tu) as well cause less problems with Piston rings, therefore less oil consumption = more fun driving it.. the 330 (m54b30) is really not worth the money I'm telling you, I have a 530i with that engine and it toke some money to have it nice camprared to my 528i. Also run at least a 5w40 or 5w50 of you track them, they all get pretty high oil temperatures cause bmw did not get them oil coolers. The rest you'll find on the forums or from someone over in the US I guess. I have no idea what insurance and stuff costs you over there. I know tho that e36 are WAYYY cheaper in the US than in germany, there worth more than gold over here..🤮
@@1990Redline Thanks!
3.91 will be the best ratio for you
They guy behind the camera sounds like Corey hosford lol
amazing Chelsea. which LSD VC do you use?
I didn't understand brand
thanks chelsea
Spool. Welded
@@chelseadenofa kkkkkkkkkk Nice Denofa style 🤣🤣
What size tires are on the rear?
What spring rate are you running in the front
awesome video, can you do something like this on the foxbody your building ?
We are
What body kit are you using I have a 318ti I’m about to finish my motor swap and I love that body kit
Cliqtuning
11:00 that much torque from an exhaust pipe? holy shit...
What did you do to your oil pump when you said you did bearings and a pump? The upgrade or oem refresh?
And 8700 is insane bro. I’m sitting around 8250 with oem deck/studs. So no other headwork for that rpm?? ✌🏻
Heads all done, studs, valve job, deck .030.
Achilles Motorsport pump
Can I fit an LS in one of these?
Hey Chelsea I have an s52 ti and i had a little wreck not to long ago and I hit a curb with my back wheel and I bent the trailing arm but I changed it and it’s still looks off like the wheels look way off could it be that my subframe is bent ?
Likely
Where can I get the plug and play swap kit to do s54 in my e36?
Link ecu
Panic Made
Dude i couldn't agree more with your car sound synopsis. Induction growl is the biz. I cannot stand when i hear some poser in his daily just crackling and popping everywhere. Why anyone would want a loud ass daily is beyond me.
Chelsea maate, I'm building a m54b25 turbo, fully rebuilt engine (bearings etc.) and planning on running 10 psi max for drifting. Is it worth it? S54 is a bit to much 💰 here in New Zealand
Yea it’ll be fine. 340ish whp, but way more torque
@@chelseadenofa aw perfect, have a small abandoned go-kart track here in my city that is now a free roam drift heaven, 340hp ish should be perfect. Thanks heaps for the reply bro, just givin me way more go to finish this Little beast. (my first drift build)
A turbo makes a good muffler...just a thought!🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🏻
Lads, e36 328 vs g37, which yall picking
E36 328 obviously, not tryna sound like a moving trumpet
E36 m3
i thought i was the only one who thought intake noise is much better than a loud ass exhaust
@chelsea should i add a h pipe for my m50 turbo?
It is tuned for the S54, probably won't help you on M50.
Nope
WE WANT TO SEE THE ALFA
So pretty much just standard bolt on's okayyyy then lol
Insane how BMW S engines are cheaper in the US than in Germany :D and on Top of it LS Engines are Even more expansive:D it’s hard to drift over 200hp on a Budget in Germany 😂
Weight Guess before seeing 2875LBS
We want to see the 1jz e36 🤩
It’s over on the east coast being driven at clutch kickers by a student of mine
Chelsea you should tell Cliq Tuning to get their act together! Worst customer service ever and comically long shipping times
do you ever miss your old miata you got your d1 license with?
It’s a part of my past. I don’t get attached to cars
@@chelseadenofa ill still remember watching you jump up in excitement when they called your name
good times
idk anything about BMWs and I’m about to wrench on an e36/
They’re a breeze to wrench on. Can basically take them apart with a 10, 12, 13 and 16mm lol
You are about to become a convert.
Hey Chelsea, do you prefer N/A over boost?
For simplicity yes
07:41 repeated clip
Why’s the videographers voice sound so familiar.
Right?? He sounds like someone I’ve listened to a lot. Maybe someone from The Smoking Tyre podcast?
I heard cliq tuning had bad customer service and take forever to ship out parts. Is that the case with you or do you get special treatment cuz your denofa lol
They fixed that issue last year
I have a 97 318ti in alpine white. Beautiful body and interior (leather). I can post a walk around video. Know anyone who might want it? Cars and bids rejected it (too many miles, at 174k).
It runs hotter on ethanol bud.
I bought a mustang and have been slower making it quieter 😂😂
No one cares about Tis ;) More info on that golden beauty of an Alfa?
soundcloud said my account aint nothin but leaks and scams 😂😂😂
stop breathing on the mic dude lol
Try to paint the E46 livery onto the 318 😂
