Coach Mcguirk the coils are good to replace with the spark plugs every 40k but if you don’t have any issues with your injectors you dont need to replace them.
Hey Big Boost if you add boost pressure on the fitting on the top of your wastegate with a boost controller you do not have to change your wastegate. Or change your Springs anymore just read up on Boost controllers in external wastegate and you'll find everything you need to know. Keep boosting man good job.
JDMovation vented hoods don't do a lot, he needs to use more heat shielding and physical insulation and barriers to keep engine bay heat under control. There should be a heat shield to protect the coils lined with golf reflective tape, and heat sleeving on all hoses.
sounds cool, go for e85, i still have my original fuelsystem ( lines and fuelrail) i have 1000cc injectors and a wahlbro 450 in tank and i got 637whp 830nm with a BW 60/66 mm turbo and 2.8L stroke. But dont forget to "knock" your sparkplugs to 0.40mm or you will have a missfire of doom .
did you ever think of putting the gold insulation on the top of the coil packs ( not only to insulate from the heat of the turbo but to stop any errant sparks... NASA uses it on electrical stuff to electrically shield it)
Seems like these coils are continuing to work really well and reliably for you, no? I'm thinking about swapping these into my 540 turbo (and of course deleting the coil ignitor circuits).
I AM Design Products he still hasn't fixed the issue though. He needs to build a heat shield in between downpipe/turbo and the rocker cover. He will keep buggering coils in till he addresses this issue
hello I installed r8 coils in my m50 turbo, the ecu is a Link plug and play, what modification have you made for the coils to work ?, a greeting and thanks...
just prime the whole car, one color. . . It's driving me crazy seeing this thing looking this way. I'll settle for panda color scheme but the fenders n quarters have to be the same color as the doors lol
Garrett Reitz I hade a ACT extreme kit unsprung 6puck disc with a light weight flywheel and never had this issue. Also had a spec twin disc kit same thing no noise like that
Nick Moore My 6 puck unsprung ACT clutch chattered like crazy when i was going into any gear. Never starting or in neautral though. Worst clutch *ever* for a street car! Never slipped at the drags though.
Adriansitos623 that’s what I’m saying. His makes noise when cranking it over mine chattered like hell lol I went with a sprung after that but i don’t get why his sounds like way when turning it over super weird
@Alberto BIGBOOST you should never have to use a silicon sealant for your valve cover brother. Just buy a good gasket preferably oem or oem rated and used that. If for some reason that one leaks as well then you should most likely look into a new valve cover as yours may be warped or damaged in some way. Keep up the great videos bro!
crazyadhdboy16 I'm not calling him stupid, that's a bit unfair. I was just letting him know. I have been a mechanic for going on 16 years now and know you should never have to use permatex
Yooo anyone find some instruction of how to install vag coils i cant find anything on e36 vag coil installs i know they can be a simple bolt on cut and splice wires together appreciate it if someone replies hopefully
very disappointed in how you don't know how a wastegate and boost controller work together. spring pressure is not a reliable way to control boost. COME ON BIG BOOST!!!!!!! i would have kept your 7 psi spring and used 15 dollars to nuild a boost controller from home depot to get you where you need to be.
the cold side regulates that spring. if it has a pressure of 7psi. then it starts pumping pressure out of the exhaust but a bleed off valve aka the poor mans boost controller
That’s awesome you are running R8 coils. I’m running them on my S4 and it helped smooth my idle out as well as make sure my spark stays strong.
German Elite Tuning aye b5 s4 gang!
I'm running these on my 2.5 rabbit grabbed em up from ecs figured ill update the packs and injectors.
KS_SQUID oh yah B5 for life.
Coach Mcguirk the coils are good to replace with the spark plugs every 40k but if you don’t have any issues with your injectors you dont need to replace them.
I’ve got some on my B5 A4- r8 coils are the best hands down.
Hey Big Boost if you add boost pressure on the fitting on the top of your wastegate with a boost controller you do not have to change your wastegate. Or change your Springs anymore just read up on Boost controllers in external wastegate and you'll find everything you need to know. Keep boosting man good job.
Sell em to Taylor for his Miata!
Sweet looking E30 in the garage
thats the base spring, you always keep that spring in there. you add the bigger springs to adjust when it opens.
How come you haven't vented the hood? I'm sure that would drop temps in the bay
JDMovation vented hoods don't do a lot, he needs to use more heat shielding and physical insulation and barriers to keep engine bay heat under control. There should be a heat shield to protect the coils lined with golf reflective tape, and heat sleeving on all hoses.
Hey Alberto will you happen to have a wiring diagram from the lq/ls coil to VAG coil . Thanks
I love this channel already you explain why you do things on your vehicle and they are done with purpose!!! Great content subbed!!!
Its 0:40 in Spain im I was about to sleep and Alberto Uploads the Video... Thanks Alberto
iMurofaca what part of Spain? I want to visit there and preferably go to spannabis
Im looking to do same convertsion with my M52, is it straight up wiring up job or is there anything else I need to know? Thanks in advance
Dare=there, dirty=thirty, tink=thing lol Please start! Big boost doesn't need to take apart this engine again. Bless him engine God's
sounds cool, go for e85, i still have my original fuelsystem ( lines and fuelrail) i have 1000cc injectors and a wahlbro 450 in tank and i got 637whp 830nm with a BW 60/66 mm turbo and 2.8L stroke. But dont forget to "knock" your sparkplugs to 0.40mm or you will have a missfire of doom .
so what gap would be recomended with a sr/2871r/15psi/300whpish/one step colder plug
the length of r8 coils is the same or you have done any modification
plus how you connected that to the wiring harness....it had the same wiring?
very good question. Please reply
did you ever think of putting the gold insulation on the top of the coil packs ( not only to insulate from the heat of the turbo but to stop any errant sparks... NASA uses it on electrical stuff to electrically shield it)
Happy birthday!! Why not make a heat shield for the coils or double/tripple wrap the downpipe?
Was this running on factory ecu? I’m wondering if this coil swap can be done with the factory ecu?
keep up the quality content you've grown so much I remember how awkward you where now your a natural. good work big boost 💝
You still haven't fixed the problem with heat in relation to the coils. You need to physically heat shield them from the turbo and downpipe.
a tip : watch series on Kaldrostream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies recently.
@Abraham Bennett yea, I've been watching on kaldrostream for years myself :D
Seems like these coils are continuing to work really well and reliably for you, no? I'm thinking about swapping these into my 540 turbo (and of course deleting the coil ignitor circuits).
One of your best videoes yet
I told you the location of those coil packs right next to the exhaust was a bad idea hahaha
I AM Design Products he still hasn't fixed the issue though. He needs to build a heat shield in between downpipe/turbo and the rocker cover. He will keep buggering coils in till he addresses this issue
magnetic0314 I totally agree
Good job Alberto! What was the exact model of that turbo ? and A/R?
nice ride , bro
BIG BOOST the truth i love this show
What tune are you running? Just wired r8 coils in and full send?
Do you know the color coding for r8 to n54 coil...and if a resister is needed?
hello I installed r8 coils in my m50 turbo, the ecu is a Link plug and play, what modification have you made for the coils to work ?, a greeting and thanks...
Do you need to modify the coils or they are a perfect fit?
Opened UA-cam just as the notification popped up
perfect timing
Alberto BIGBOOST. Where did you source the connectors?
Is that the aluminum valve cover? They tend to warp, you should get the one in hard plastic
Did you weld the Wastegate flange to the hot side housing?
how did you make you vag wire harness to work with your oem wire harness
Do you have to change the dwell or do you just leave it
Get a turbosmart wastegate. (compgate) just as a recomendation
Alberto forever looking at himself on the camera screen instead of directly into the camera
What is the dwell on the R8 coils?
I think maybe you should paint your hood instead of wrapping it. maybe that wastegate produce some heat and those vynil will melt....idk..
is the valve cover plumbed to the charge pipe?
OUCH, you got to watch out for that Tow Bar Buddy. :)(:
Olive Garden lmfao great video !!
Audi power :D Joke aside, the Fsi/Tfsi coil conversion is very popular on a lot of cars. :)
Hey Alberto, how much did it hurt walking into the tow eye? i've done it myself a fair few times, it's not a nice experience :P
just prime the whole car, one color. . . It's driving me crazy seeing this thing looking this way. I'll settle for panda color scheme but the fenders n quarters have to be the same color as the doors lol
MWMburton also the kidney grills with that blue throws off the car completely
Cop car
Would be awesome to put your Dyno Graph up against my RBM3 dyno graph mate. I am really curious to see how these BMW Engines stack up.
6:15 for some reason I was waiting for him to 2-step it lol
Great vid once again boost 👍
Bro why does it sound like the flywheel is making hella noise when you crank it over every time ?
Nick Moore alot of lightweight flywheels make a ton of noise on startup
Garrett Reitz I hade a ACT extreme kit unsprung 6puck disc with a light weight flywheel and never had this issue. Also had a spec twin disc kit same thing no noise like that
Nick Moore It is clutch chatter. It makes the same sound while shifting. You can hear it when he is cruising it.
Nick Moore My 6 puck unsprung ACT clutch chattered like crazy when i was going into any gear. Never starting or in neautral though. Worst clutch *ever* for a street car! Never slipped at the drags though.
Adriansitos623 that’s what I’m saying. His makes noise when cranking it over mine chattered like hell lol I went with a sprung after that but i don’t get why his sounds like way when turning it over super weird
14:10 Could it be the acceleration enrichment in your tune?
What happened to the spot in the shop?
It will look cool white with black parts
@Alberto big boost, men just paint the whole car black as you did with the door and hood
What happened to the shop you were sharing
Great video Alberto. I gotta say, I was pretty happy watching that fake carbon fiber come off.
Where is the shop you were renting?
Got watch out for them tow hooks lol busted your shin
Wish you would have showed how to wire the coils..
Jesse Canright on google you can find a diagram 😉
Alberto where do you find one of those long mirrors and what is the name for them
tommi Seep it’s called a wink mirror
Your ecu have boost control function just use it :)
@Alberto BIGBOOST you should never have to use a silicon sealant for your valve cover brother. Just buy a good gasket preferably oem or oem rated and used that. If for some reason that one leaks as well then you should most likely look into a new valve cover as yours may be warped or damaged in some way. Keep up the great videos bro!
crazyadhdboy16 I'm not calling him stupid, that's a bit unfair. I was just letting him know. I have been a mechanic for going on 16 years now and know you should never have to use permatex
crazyadhdboy16 some people legitimately don't know or have been taught wrong
Actually there are plenty of car that use silicone sealant as OEM gasket.
In Sweden, 14psi is called "kärringladd"..
omg that E30
hey big boost when will someone do a drag racing movie with the supra car
Do a crazy wrap.
R.I.P Albertos shin 15:38
1 bar. Not bad.
Yooo anyone find some instruction of how to install vag coils i cant find anything on e36 vag coil installs i know they can be a simple bolt on cut and splice wires together appreciate it if someone replies hopefully
15lbs, 15 more to go! 30lbs of Boost or bust!!
Is that your bmw in the garage too?
Jacob Devries Dang i was hopin it was his. Thatd make a sick build.
Boost Daddy
Do a newer M3 engine conversion
Does anyone have a wiring diagram I can follow ?
Stop using rtv everywere, thats just becoming a weak soft spot when its presuere on it. Use real hard gaskets instead..
Fat n Bald Drift Team the rtv its just an extra level of security to make sure it doesn leak. Hes not just cheaping out
When using rtv ( for smaler boosts, you are supose to use it instead of rubber seal and a thin layer. Not use rubber and rtv
your car runs better than my moms car..and its full stock, not joking
Marco Scarpa what car does your mom have?
Blanco Escondido lancia y 1998
Alberto,what happend with sharing shop space with Marco ?
George M I also am curious to know what happened with this
He explained in a video a couple weeks ago. One of his roommates moved out without warning.
James Briggs which video is it do you know ? I want to watch it and see what's up. Thank you
Why don’t you just buy plasma coils that are made for the BMW they look exactly like R8 ones
I'm in the process of removing my cylinder head of a M52. I stripped the E8 torx bolt that holds the head. What can I do to remove?? @Alberto BigBoost
Wrap your car! LOL
Contact tial im sure they will replace it.
boost tester for leaks
that lil ping dent on ya hood izz drivin me crazy!! in the right of the rondell FIX DAT !!! soo easy to do yo
Would you be willing to sell the ls coils? Sent you a message on instagram about them.
yes, I will look you up
Alberto BIGBOOST could Taylor need these for his Miata swap?
Alberto BIGBOOST sent you a message its lanerideout120
Boooooooooooossssttttttttt
what's up KING?
Anything under 30 Psi is "Girlboost" ;)
In Sweden you start at 14psi minimum.
Please stop repping street fighters...
Go see Fonzie at PlastiDip. They have some pretty gnarly colors.
very disappointed in how you don't know how a wastegate and boost controller work together. spring pressure is not a reliable way to control boost. COME ON BIG BOOST!!!!!!! i would have kept your 7 psi spring and used 15 dollars to nuild a boost controller from home depot to get you where you need to be.
ua-cam.com/video/3SrAxPhW_Es/v-deo.html
the cold side regulates that spring. if it has a pressure of 7psi. then it starts pumping pressure out of the exhaust but a bleed off valve aka the poor mans boost controller
the cold side regulates the back inlet on the hot side.
Bro. Your content is getting repative. That might be why your views are going down.
Just cant watch this guy anymore.... bye
Olive Garden lmfao great video !!
