    Incredible video. Probably my favorite of all of them. So informative and that parts list with links is pure gold. Although after clicking on most of the links, the cost to do all that plus time and tools is no joke. Very similar to the cost of converting to single turbo. BUT boy oh boy are you going to be able to put that power to the ground now. Really excited to see this car back at the drag strip. The install seemed to be top notch, really enjoyed watching your friend work. Jealous of all the wheel/tire choices at your disposal now!

    • @jake_spence
      @jake_spence  4 роки тому

      Thanks Chad! It's definitely similar to the undertaking of a proper single turbo install. I think the car definitely needed all of this for the way I've been using it. I'm glad you're still following along, even if I'm not posting on the forums as much.

I just got into autocross and drag racing last summer and will be hitting it up again this year. Man I love my car. It's such an improvement from the 3 Ford Taurus' I used to own.. Just put in a Spec single-mass lightweight flywheel and clutch last month. Next is the intake, intercooler, and spark plugs.

    Also, I have the bilstein b14 coilovers and they’ve been great so far. With them raised all the way up it lowered my 335is about an inch but if I put them lower it will rub so I kept them all the way up. They feel stiffer than stock yet smoother at the same time.

    Hi, Jake. I have a 125i, I have a done a 1m oem panel conversion. I am thinking about doing the rear hub conversion that you have done. To bring the wheel in a bit to help with clearance. Do you know if the 3 series hub wheel bearing conversion that you did would fit the 125i axle shafts. I’m not sure if the groves on the axle spindles would marry up with the 3 series hub/wheel bearing.

    Sick work....how you liking they vibrating tho? What motor mounts you got. I ripped through 2 different ones after i went solid everything. Now i got solid mounts. Also when you run the slicks i recommend going 0 camber in the back or you will eat up slicks and lose traction.

    • @jake_spence
      @jake_spence  4 роки тому +1

      I haven't really noticed any increased vibration. I have new stock motor mounts. I will keep an eye on everything, but I think since I have poly trans and poly diff mounts, it'll be more forgiving than completely solid. We tried getting camber as close to 0* as possible.

I have a E90 335i LCI which might be different in wheel offsets compared to the non LCI if doing all the M3 arms. You probably could of brought another 135i for the price of this rear end overhaul its crazy how much this stuff costs. Get swaybars if you're tracking it the subframe will need to be dropped a bit.

    Love the car! Question Jake I have a 2011 135i, if I were to do the hub conversion to a 3 series one for better wheel Fitment would I need to change any other stock parts? Basically would I be able to just order the the straight part of the list you provided, I know you did to be able to fit 15inch wheels. My issue is I rub a little bit with in the rear using 18x9.5 wheels.

      I have a stock valve cover. I'm running an upgraded PCV valve and a BMS oil catch can. The outlet is venting to atmosphere thru a hose instead of being plumbed back into the intake.

Any idea how the 135i with all these goodies (Especially the M3 arms, rear subframe bushings and LSD added) would compare to an e92 M3 specifically in terms of handling? Considering either modifying a 135i or keeping an e92 M3 relatively stock as a next weekend car/canyon carver.

    • @jake_spence

      Nope, no additional NVH or noise from the solid rear subframe bushings. The newer F-series BMWs don't even have bushings, they're directly mounted to the chassis of the car. But if you use solid differential bushings, you will feel some vibration and noise.
