When we're not working on cars, we're watching the Grand Tour!
amzn.to/3qXghY4 - Авто та транспорт
Because I live in the UK I wake up to zero to 60 videos most morning, it's become a bit of a morning ritual... Two uploads to watch this morning makes me a happy man. It's a simple life 🤣
I usually find it’s best to watch while having breakfast 🥞
Know that feeling😉. Dutch regards.
Yeah buddy, same here!
Same here guys uk love this channel and I don’t even have my n54 anymore so gutted
So glad this build is finally coming together I've been saving to be build my 08 335i like you built this one just following the knowledge you have gained since I started watching has been more than helpful went from I just bought my first BMW to now I can almost tear the thing apart and put it together again without any check engine lights thank you for never giving up!!!
I guess the question on everybody's mind right now will be: how will the flow max car compare to the single Turbo one in terms of acceleration, 0-100 and 100-200? My guessing is that they will no be very far off in 0-100 but the single turbo will be faster in the 1-2 due to having more beans :)
I reckon 100-200 the single will take it. But 60-120kmh I think the flowmax is unstoppable.
Andrew, great updates as always. Looking forward to the next episode and testing! If you ever get all your big power needs satisfied (BIG if, lol...) it would be lovely to see if you struggle as much with hammering out subframe bushes as I did this past week... cheers and happy belated
Ohhh my well I do have subframe bushes to do on the 135i but might use a bush puller
I work overnight it's nice to have a video at lunch! thanks m8! keep up the updates I'm also doing a 8hp swap
Thanks for watching man!
Wow, it's becomming faster and faster guys. Regards Nico.
Very good and I guess a relatively easy fix.
Can’t imagine a 5.5 one to two 😳😳
My ISF’s best is 9.70. So a solid 4 seconds behind 🤣😂
If it ever stops racing I hope to do an 8.9 with the new intake mods. We will see.
That cut in the silicone pipe looks very similar to the one I had on my stock rubber pipe from the serpentine belt being to close! Glad you were able to fix it! Bloody hell she’s quick!!
Yeah, I remember thinking they were close, but definitely not touching. However with the small slip on the clamp that twisted I assume that’s how they started touching.
let me know how the stock 8hp70 holds up to no torque reduction! ill try it on mine if it works at full send
Love this channel content is awesome 👏 keep it up bro
Thanks man!
Good luck man,
I've had the same issue before, 7.5" race intercooler and the t-bolt clamp failed allowing the 90° boot to slip and grind itself on the belt. Ended up replacing it with arm's one piece silicone piping along with a worm gear type clamp and no issues for two years.
Yeah, I think this silicon hose was just way too long, would have suited the older shorter j pipe
Hey man!
Love the videos! Can’t wait to swap my e91 330D to 8HP! You really inspired me a lot and I have learned a thing or 2 along the way!
Not sure if u said it in an earlier video but what shifter cover are u using with the F series shifter?
Haven’t sorted the shifter yet. But a dct one should work.
@@ZeroTo60Tube keep me posted! Would love a clean OEM look in my car, like it came that way from the factory💪🏻
Wow ,that was a pretty fast fix😅 but sometimes it is the small things that make the trouble 😅 luckily on the other hand it was just this little thing 😀 I'm staying curious and tuned for your next steps!
The engine and box seem to be working well together. I do think I have a power steering problem. Annoyingly
Great time with no doubt better ones to come Andrew. It will interesting to see what 0-100 times you can get with the 8HP70 and launch control if traction is possible.
I’ve launched it a few times but not seriously. Quickest so far was a 4.1 from memory.
@@ZeroTo60Tube is that with rollout? My 8hp n55 ps2 I've hit 3.8 no rollout. That was in the winter on wet roads in sport+.
@@ichoozjc Like i said, not trying. With traction this is a 2 second 0-100 car. However with this power, its going to be very hard to get it in the 3's. But i will definitely do a video on it soon.
Flowmax it's really good turbo see u 😘 next vlog with good no.
Excited for the comparison between the single and the flow max. Single turbo car has a DCT right?
Yes
Hey bud I swear I remember you doing a video where you talked about the intake manifold gaskets at one point I can’t find it. I’m going to be doing a walnut blast on this n55 x5 I just got and wanted to just throw some fresh gaskets on there, Amazon has some knock off brand that seems to have good reviews for $12 bucks and the mahle brand is $32 I’m wondering if it’s something that won’t matter to cheep out on or if I’ll be kicking myself down the road chasing a boost leak? Lol
I did, i can't rememeber which one it is now. However the point was if you have the alloy port injection manifold the aftermarket gaskets made for the stock intake wont fit it. I ended up using orings the last time i had my port injection manifold off. If you have a stock manifold the aftermarket ones should be fine.
Awesome video guys! I remember a while ago you were talking about your work light that you use in your engine bay, can’t remember what it was, which light is it?? Thanks
Man work lights.... what a nightmare product. So the big one that clips on the bonnet is a Narva. Lately i picked up 2 small ones from Aldi of all places, they are lithium powered with magnets in the bottom and they have been great. Still not amazing, but the best i have used. The trick with work lights is to have a few different types for different situations. I dont think there is one light fits all.
@@ZeroTo60Tube you’re the man! Thank you
Also why I’ve got you, is there a cheaper alternative that you’ve found for an exhaust manifold set up for a RHD single? If not I’m thinking go with Flow Maxs and save the hassle
@@iTsDaNsTaBrO Honestly a single is a huge investment, thing 10-15K minimum. Flowmax's are probably quicker on the street for most daily driver scenarios, but top end or a roll from say 80kmh the single is quicker.
@@ZeroTo60Tube thank you sir 🙏🏽
what fuel are you running?
Andrew I’m very curious to know this 8hp setup vs a DCT from a dig like doing 1/4 mile on the dragy, I love the DCT but it’s always a bitch getting it to hook up from a dig when using Launch control, Regards love the videos 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻thanks
The 8hp is much much nicer from a dig. Doesn’t hurt it like the dct and much easier to repeat a launch.
You can build boost with 8hp but not with the dct sadly but what I’ve done I limit the boost in 1st in mhd and floored it and it’s been working out pretty well for me
FLOWMAX turbos are amazing!
Haha, same exact thing happened to mine last year.
This isn’t very related but I might need to get new rod bearing put in my n54 (170k miles). And I am wondering what you used in the flow max build. Was it king rod bearings and do you have a part number?
I used ACL, they are aussie made and pretty cheap here although generally regarded as some of the best bearings money can buy. I specifically used xtra clearance ones from the ACL catalogue as we do like to run a thicker oil
@@ZeroTo60Tube do you know a part number or link I can find them I am interested in doing rod bearings pretty soon. I’m at 170k miles on my engine and the oil is looking a bit too glittery for me. Also what bolts did you use?
I have the same leak right now lmao that’s crazy
That's the type of problem I like to see! No I didn't mean I want to see that ty......Oh you know what I mean. This car is gonna RIP! Well it DOES RIP! LOL. So great to have two cars to be watching for their new performance and usability. Great stuff!!
You having issues trying to get lamik to look at logs and customise the settings or just time problems between you both since he’s million miles away
Would it be possible todo a 60-130
Mph and are would you benefit from anti/brake boosting at all??
The 60-130mph from the 5.7 100-200 run a couple of weeks ago was 6.4 for comparison. I will do a proper 60-130 eventually however. Brake boost would just blow the tyres off in my opinon. The trick i use to get quick times for these higher power cars. Roll on around 60kmh, let boost build progressively in sync with the weight of the car transferring to the back tyres. You want the rear tyres fully loaded as you hit wide open throttle around 90kmh. This all happens in a matter of seconds, but makes a huge difference to a quick 100-200 or 60-130. Well when you are at the point of traction loss. This car is wheel spinning with ar1s around the 70-90kmh mark but it just seems to hook in time. There is a lot that goes in to getting the most out of a car.
What feels quickly the flow max car or the single turbo ex 17T car
Got to be the flow max currently, the single isn't tuned yet and the 17t did a 5.7 so 0.2 slower than the current flomax revision and that's not full kill mode yet either. I recon the single is going to have a hard time keeping up with the flow max as the single isn't forged so I doubt Andrew is going to push it like the flow max car
Got a question for you guys about the flow max install. Bc the flanges on the manifolds are much thicker than stock did you all tighten the studs all the way into the block or did you have to back it out a few turns to get the nuts threaded on there enough? Thanks!
I actually can’t remember now. But that is what you are supposed to do. The install on this was very rushed. It did thread one of the copper nuts that was also re-used
@@ZeroTo60Tube ok just curious bc on there site they say to back out studs a few turns before turbo install. Wondering if ppl had an issue with this or did ppl just tighten down to spec no issue. Thanks for the reply though!
@@lorenzojohnson3321 100% back them out a little and use new copper nuts for sure.
What could cause very early shifs on 6HP?
I'm talking like 1.4k rpm shifts, 4th gear doing 30km/h. The car stumbles a lot because of that.
Because of this problem, I have to drive in manual mode when the car is cold.
Issue seems to disappear when the car is warm. Any ideas?
Full service on the transmission did not help at all. Could it be faulty firmware? Try to reset adaptations? Maybe installing XHP?
The car should never stumble even from 1000rpm. And to be honest these ZF trans missions do shift very early so it sounds normal. I would be more inclined to make sure your plugs and coils are in good condition. Low RPM load on the engine can be as much of an issue as wide open throttle, especially if the plugs are getting enough current. I have seen a few times where people think there is trans issue because the car is fine in sports mode, but its turned out to be an engine issue. Again normally plugs or coils.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks! Ordered spark plugs, will do an update after they are changed. Fingers crossed...
@@fohatadri please let me know how it goes!
I wonder if you can collab w/Ken for a Zoom call video just to get in to talk about the platform.
I have been thinking about that, a bit of a podcast style video, i have had a few calls with him and his knowledge on the history of the platform is mind blowing. He has hinted at the possibility of coming down to Australia.
Is the daw Maxflow + a 19t turbo essential?
I honestly don’t know, the “t” sizing has sort of gone out the window with the China turbos lately. The China turbo 19t are not an actual 19t. But then I have seen 21t’s be advertised that make less power than these. Daw stopped listing wheel sizes last year, I think there is more to it than just wheel size.
2 videos in one day 💪
Unplanned, but worked out In the end.
PLEASE HELP!!!
Essentially when I’m driving, the vehicle suddenly increases the RPM without any throttle input and goes up a few thousand rpm & suddenly the gear kicks in. I feel this suddenly surge of torque, almost like the vehicle hit a brick wall. It does that a few times & vehicle transmission malfunction warning comes up & the vehicle locks into a specific gear.
Any help would be much appreciated. I’ve been hell devastated as less than a week ago my radiator cracked & I took it to the mechanic got the fixed then my rocker cover gasket went & I’ve got that fixed and now my trans. I’m really hoping it’s not a fully trans rebuild.
Model : BMW E92 335i N54 2008
Trans: 6AT
Sounds like a transmission slip issue
Update: Took it to the mechanic & he said the fluid is all good it’s up to optimal level & the code he got from the ECU is : Ratio monitoring.
He said the transmission needs to be rebuilt.
He said you could potentially change the oil & see if that fixes the issues but from his experience when the car thows that code it’s likely a blown trans.
What do you think?
Don’t really know where to go from here, like I could get the trans rebuilt but these cars are an endless pit, what if I fix the trans & the diff goes or the engine blows up. Just don’t know what the best option is moving forward.
@@bhaskarakovvuri707 Its not endless, but if your not rich and have a good mechanic who cares, or you are a good mechanic or at least one whos wants to learn how to be one. You may want to get another car. Damn it hurt me to say that! N54Life Forever

There is a link in every description with the info.
Cars a beast mate!
Feels solid so far too!
Glad it's a fairly simple fix 😁 what a rocket
Rocket is an understatement. It feels electric, you get this hit of power around 4000rpm and it just does not slow down, with so many gear ratios and what feels like seemless shifts. Once the motor is in its torque band the thing just goes.... there is a scene in the Grand Tour where clarkson is racing an Aventador against the Rimac and clarkson says the rimac just f*cks off...... that is how i would desbribe the flow max car right now.
ua-cam.com/video/fWrUl3uemb4/v-deo.html the flowmax is about 1 second faster 100-200 than the aventador, so it ould probabaly pull away from an aventador pretty easy.
By the by where has David been? I expect he's busy but it's been so long I'm just wondering what's become of of him?
Been helping our parents out with their house most of the year.
Hi how much did it cost to swap the 8hp?
10-12k aud
@@ZeroTo60Tube so about 6k UK pounds which doesn't seem all that bad when you consider what you're getting.
@@88budz A good chink of the cost above is the transmission. They are $4000aud here. In the UK they are 800 pounds. So much cheaper again.
@@88budz id say if you do the work yourself you can easily do it for cheaper then 3k.
Sorry I’m American what’s the 60-130?
Didn’t hit 130mph on the test run. However normally it’s about 1 second slower. Normally. So this likely a 6.4-6.6 60-130
It did do an60-130mph on the 5.7 run a couple of weeks ago that was a 6.49 on dragy. So this 5.55 100-200 maybe 6.2-6.4 60-130
Do you have an LSD in this car?
Yes
5.53 sec 100-200 is incredibly fast 🤯
It’s weird, I feel like there is so much more in it too!
@@ZeroTo60Tube mate, I'd be more than satisfied with a 5.3 sec 100-200, heart would be pumping like crazy. 😣
I'm guessing your making 800hp+ 😬
nice, almost as fast as my 6hp hehe
You have my attention. Now you need to show me the dragy!!! Haha. Seriously whats the info on your setup? engine spec/trans mods etc?
@@ZeroTo60Tube just checked, it did a 5.15 60-120, that’s pretty close to 100-200 right?
@@TheAFKD this car has done 5.28 60-120mph when it did the 5.7 100-200kmh. You can switch dragy to metric to get your 100-200kmh if you want to know what it actually was. But to clarify 60-120mph is a shorter or quicker test than 100-200kmh. I’ve seen a few people make that same assumption tho. In the interesting of getting you to get your car going quick, my guess is this little twin turbo car is faster 😛
@@ZeroTo60Tube you’ve definitely got more left in it than me with the forged rods.
I’m gonna take some weight out and try to break into the 5s 60-130 this weekend, I’ll have it record 100-200 while I’m at it.
@@ZeroTo60Tube just switched it to metric and on that run it was a 5.45 100-200, so just barely faster lol
👍👍💪🏼
Ok. Is 5.5 0-60mph? About to turn mine up. New injectors on the way and I’m clear to send…
The 5.5 i reference in the video is 100-200kmh.
it is kind a funny, how 6.6sek is "slow" :D
While editing I had the same thought. 6.6 is fast. I just know what this thing is capable off.
@@ZeroTo60Tube thats the thing, 6.6 is fast :D. next thing is, what is fast enough?
