Thanks for having me!
@RKtunes what tuning platform you using for the M550? Currently on a BM3 Ots Stg2 E30 tune and looking to getting a custom.
@@1FastM5FiddyHe tuned my M550 .. he’s the goat !!
Yooooo Jordan !!
Of course! Thank you for your time ! Really appreciate the gems on this one!
🐐🐐🐐🐐
Bro the only thing your podcast needs is timestamps for different sections for the video it would make it a lot more enjoyable
means the uploader is lazyyyyy
@@stephenEs3532or he wants you to watch the whole video
Yea they might be useful do you can skip to the parts you want instead of watching the whole video and helping get his watch time up.
I'm actually really loving this podcast. I try to find stuff to listen to as a delivery driver who spends 10-12 hours a day on a truck and MOST pods just ramble with no direction and I get bored quick. You have the pacing down and don't stick too long on a topic and keep it interesting. I will definitely buy a shirt to support the brand and hopefully be on the podcast one day when I grow a little more!
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate this comment and your continued support!
Black drop more e36 vids
Love your content as well. Always nice to have some representation out there. Keep up the hustle and the content 💪🏾💪🏾
@@30ffS52 dropping one today. Peak Season got me tied up right now
U are not lying lol as a truck driver I need something to listen to I run through episodes wayyyy to fast or I skip a lot because it’s the same shit over and over.
Could you guys cover more of the E9X platform for the N54/N55 guys. This is literally all I wait for to drop. Keep up the great work 🦾
I’ll come on and talk about e9x working on them and tuning for 4 hours.
facts bro
I feel like the n5x platforms got eclipsed super hard by the b58 in general. As an n55 owner mod support ended the moment the b58 hit the market 😞
TAKE IT TO THE JUNKYARD WHERE IT BELONGS FUCKING SHITBOXES 😂😂😂
RK is on point about about the B58 vs 2J. The 2J might have a higher *guaranteed* cap on horse power, but if you are just shooting for 1000ish horsepower you will spend over triple the amount of money(the car is going to sit at the shop for a decade and your going to lose every creature comfort) than you would on a B58 where you get to keep you get to keep your money, time, and comfort.
This channel is what the world needed!! Big respect from UK🇬🇧
This channel is amazing and this episode was so dope. Jordan is so genuine and honest with his knowledge. Great episode
Jordan is best bmw tuner all day in New York no doubt
Boy the reels working yu got me with the s55 clip
Best guest yet, always fun to hear a passionate, skilled and humble expert discuss what they love
You're about to hit 100k, well deserved. I know the amount of editing that goes in to these, keep up the quality work!
Excited to see what Jordan will do with the G80 / S58 platform!
Jordan is a guy I highly respect. I hope to achieve the level or even a sliver of success as him. Props on the video. Been waiting to watch this fully but with the tornado that wrecked my county it’s been hard.
Jordan and his shop RK-tunes is who I go to for all my BMW needs. People drive from different states to NY for his work. I'm glad I live only miles away. Love my 580whp F series m4. Sup Harris and Jordan! P.S. Please reopen your shop to customers for mechanic work stuff!
This was probably one of my favorite episodes. Jordans the best
Your killin it Brodie ! Skys the limit. I’ve never watched or listened to a podcast before a few months ago but know I can’t wait to see who’s on next. Definitely amazing content and the ppl u bring on. Thanks for the entertainment and knowledge I’ve learned. Appreciate you ! 🙏💪 💯
Thank you! We all learn together ! 💪🙏
Inhad absolutely no idea that BMW's were doing the kind of numbers they were until the no hesi and 1stock podcast. THIS right here just knocked it out of the park
Yep and people still hate on them and say Benz is faster then bmw lol bmw makes easy power and puts it down
Just found your channel this week.. been watching content non stop all week.. at work, at home, in the truck… car community isn’t as strong as it was 10-20 years ago.. but you are truthfully like the Joe Rogan of the car community. The way you do these it’s a very similar style and just as captivating..
If this existed years ago you’d be 2-3mil followers easy.. I think what you are doing is very good for the car community in terms of bringing interest back to cars for today’s youth..
The one thing you’re going to have to figure out is how to do this and find a way to get your content onto 11-21yo kids otherwise we are eventually going to die out to electrics🤦♂️
Fast cars, loud stereos.. all that is almost gone anymore.. I have a 17yo kid.. kids today don’t do or are interested or even know about these things that we all grew up on.. I watch my 11yo son on UA-cam all the time.. he’s watching gaming channels for games he doesn’t even play or wants to play.. when I was 11 I had my own subscriptions to compact car mag, street timer mag, crutchfield, etc..
Love what you’ve talked about with Reef and doing events yourselves and such.. that is going to be huge! We need more like this! Keep working man.. all of us that love cars need people like you to keep this going
B58 hypebeast kids aren't going to like this one lol
As a B58 owner, the S55 is a great engine too.
You can't hate b58 its just a good ass engine
Hello from the Philippines! I have a 316i with a S52B32 swap and a supercharger that makes a little over 400hp and is my daily. I'm glad to know that those numbers are considered still safe for stock internals. I do not need more than 400hp in my country. So much info in this podcast is amazing. It is crazy to me that you need 1000hp.
Here in Texas we have big roads. With plenty of space to use 1000-2000hp. I’ve visited the Philippines so I understand what you mean.
Awesome podcast, I came because of the S55 being the best clip 🤣 enjoyed the entire podcast tho
Genuine guy, I know who's going to be doing my custom pure850 tune now. Loving the content.
I FINALLY FINISHED ALL THE EPISODES ! KEEP THIS GOING MAN ! I was already into rocs videos purely off of just watching now knowing all these guys and the way the came up. I BE LOCKED IN ! Keep thees podcast coming man ! 2024 is gonna be street alpha year !
Love this! So awesome hearing more from the Legend Jordan as well!
He knows his stuff. Jordan is a true legend in the tuning game. Also, S55 is absolutely goated. No doubt. It’s simply VISCERAL!
Let’s go man love the pod guests are getting good!
I appreciate this channel bro there is a lot of useful knowledge you are spreading
Street alpha probably has the best intros to podcast or just short film in general. It gets me hooked every time ready to watch the whole thing.
Love this episode - very insightful conversation!
Driving sims are great for getting all the skills for drifting and stuff. I drove a sim with no feedback, it was 100 bucks on Amazon. When I got my mustang 2 years ago at 16 years old, of course I immediately started drifting it. And it was super easy, it’s a manual, and I no joke took longer to learn driving manual than I did to begin drifting it once I tried. I think not having any feedback on the sim taught me how to use my vision and just predict when the rear end is going to come out (mustang is 800hp now so it spins). Def would’ve crashed if I hadn’t started with a sim.
Edit: my mustang can dump the clutch in third, hit redline, then skip 4th right to 5th, it’ll have the the front tires going 15mph and the rears going 120+. Just for reference
Great information and perspective provided here. Wish I had this guidance when I started back in the day.
Jordan is a humble dude in the car game. That in and of itself is rare. Great video !
Love these. So much information
This is golden content, this and the mikey botti is just 💯, your going into technical details without overly going into it if you get me, i think this is good cause it gives people and idea and what to go an learn about, an engine or car before they start some sort of build, or even if you getting into cars, bravo bro keep it up, hint hint lets get a talk on turbochargers vs superchargers the ins and outs :D
Was looking for a link to merch and then it comes up in the convo, let's gooo
The technical interviews >>>
Appreciate the honesty of "It looks that way for the flex, cuz thats how you get views & get paid."
Most try to make some shit up.
Great vid low key gems as always
I been saying the s55 is a better motor than a n54 for example it’s just not praised as much because of the rwd set up and launching issues 💯
N54 isn’t even better then m52b28 nor b58 . So yea of course s55 is better
N54 is just outdated at this point. It's good for quick power on a street car, but these newer motors are just much more refined imo.
i was saying this on another video and people argued with me. all the money you spend on a n54 you can get something better
@@BobbyCroseBewler
Keep up the good work , good podcasts.
i never comment on videos but this was a good video, learned a lot of good info for when i buy mine.
I will definitely buy your merch. Love your podcast, and shoutout to Rk I learned so much 👊🏾
Love the video keep the good content
This Chanel will create some of the most anticipated rivalry races between tuners to tuner shop to shop driver to driver 🤞🏽Il
My 100% favorite podcasts
This is my new favorite channel
Love Jordan's Passion and Skills with the tune. Man wish he was out in Hawaii so I could pull my ride up for a legit tune for a REAL tuner.
Great interview haven’t heard any podcasts from RK tunes yet
Awesome podcast thanks for your effort 👌
Gr8 interview Tukes 🫡
Fire Convo start to finish I just wish he would have helped with my m54 tune... I wanted those rktunes bragging rights
What we use to do back in the day early 2000s is if they wanted cluster, oem alarm system, and a/c we would run the stock ecu and a standalone and let the stock one control all the gauges, sensors, etc, and let the standa alone control drivetrain with it's own sensors close to the oem ones to get closest readings the same.
Love the S55 and S58 motors, I’ve had both. I still prefer the S58 over the S55. Most people will not go above 600/700 ish whp. The stock S55 motor has a crank hub flaw, top mount I/C leak issue and the plastic charge pipes and J pipe eventually crack. None of that on an S58.
Yea stock for stock I also believe s58 is better. I believe hes saying once heavily modded (1k horsepower range), it seems like the s55 will have fewer problems than the s58, hence why its the better engineered engine. Everything you mentioned gets fixed after its modified.
I have an s55 but s58 is a better platform. S58 suffers from the intake manifold separating and charge pipes as well when running higher boost
We need a part 2. Until then this episode will be on repeat on my playlist
Dope episode!
Nick sirianni of the tuner world. Great interview
Jordan is the real deal, he drops knowledge based on experience and avoids talking out of his ass.
Awesome questions, Jordan is an OG!
Hell yea got Jordan on here too lets go gang ✅ always gotta trust your tuner is a fact 100 percent
For me. Rhd feels more natural. When i had my skyline it was the best driving experience ever. I want a rhd bmw. Like an e92 m3 or f87 m2.
Bro im watch from South Africa so pls i watching it because i like the content you supply. U good enough otherwise if be else where
i have litterally gotten the "have you boost leak tested the car" email from jordan hahaha great podcast man def earned a sub
Y’all are smoking hard rock. 2jz swaps ain’t that much. I have 8k in my sc300. It has 2jzgte vvti swap. Tripod r154. Stg4 clutch ecu master blk. Big fuel system. Billet s372 turbo. On 25 psi e20 And it is solid
Love those old sc300 and sc400. Another timeless looking car. Would love to check out your build, you got a channel?
Ain’t gonna lie, been waiting for Jordan to be a guest
Great interview
Jordan is awesome.. great episode 💯
Best podcast out rn
This was such a good listen curious what Jordan thinks abt e46
I have never tuned an engine and even barely worked on one, but I am an engineering student and it's so refreshing to hear one of the best tuners in the game confirm what I've been saying eversince the Mk5 Supra came out: B58 is a better motor than 2JZ, however 2JZ can make more power easier after 1k hp. For me the only reasons the 2JZ is capable of doing 2k+ hp are that it's a 34 year old motor, so there was more time to develop it and also the hype around the FF movies. I am 99% sure that the B58 will be putting down 2k+ hp in 10 years time.
Jordan is a top tier guy. Top tier knowledge and customer service
We watching bro Keep up the good work tx2k should be LiT next year bc of you interviews!!
Just to chime in on the buying merchandise I want to see the car scene in general flourish and grow so when my kids get into it there is a good strong scene!!!
Wow this episode was awesome, the video felt so quick🤣🤣
The level of knowledge between guys like jordan vs. almost all mopar guys is astounding
Enjoyed the podcast
Jordan is so genuine, can't wait to see him beat mpowerhouse
i could watch this all day
Dope conversation.
Love this guy
This is like both of my worlds doing a cross over 😵💫😵💫😵💫 know of Jordan from watching Adam LZ and tukes from watching the street racing
Loved this episode! Would love to see Gavin from Itsjusta6 on the podcast. Really humble guy!
I love Jordan so much. He’s honest.
Bro we need that merch link I'm ready to cop one of those hoodies! Podcast is 🔥 I tune in every week.
Jordan touches and works on more BMW’s then 90% of people so his answer is valid
Great podcast. Great guest.
This is the man
wilddd... you got all the big names ny heads on your channel.
Just got a G87 M2 for SCCA & Gridlife @RKTUNES. What’s your opinion on S58 on time attack.
Stock with 2024 m4 knuckles arms sway bars M4 trans tune and suspension tune
Have you ever tried the xi versions they do crazy well on dirt best car ive ever drove for those kinds of roads hit 130 comfortably all the time
Great video 👍👍👍👍
Awesome episode
Get Sameh yehia on here
Stupid informative, love listening to these throughout the day at the office. Thanks brother, appreciate you and the work you do!!
Rsp interview was the best so far.
Pterodactyltatics if I'm not mistaken is the first to do a 2jz in a new supra. He also has one of the sickest r34 gtrs.
I agree a ton with the pushing b58 by the supra because you dont see a SINGLE person to push the z4 even though it has a b58
i rarely see a z4 m40 be pushed
halfway through the video, this is one of the best episodes by far.
yea this dope subscribed easily
Jordan is the man. Ran across him a few years ago from Adam LZ & the 335i. The way he started tuning is the same story of Jimmy Oakes. He taught himself. Follow your dreams kids!!!
Wow some actual information
