    WE DID IT! We got her to build boost! I sure hope it lasts...
    In today's video we are tearing back into our FREE BMW E90. Its a 2008 335i with the infamous N54 engine. We get rid of those sketchy spark plugs, do some work on the fuel pump, we smoked it, found multiple new leaks, and tested out some new components.

    I think that fuel pump plausibility fault is pretty common and doesn't cause issues. I want to say mine has had that for the whole time I've owned it - since 2010.

    I love these videos bro! Thank you! I feel for you when you're struggling with the car. Talk about a case of "Been there done that"! LOL. But it's not a joke when you're in the thick of it and nothing seems too= make sense or work. By the way those are actually called "Boost Solenoids. The waste gate actually on the turbos and pull the arms to "actuate" the flaps inside. I've put "XHPTuner" on my car which is a transmission app you can get for your phone. It makes it so you can really change those extremely lazy and slow shifts when using the paddles or even in the regular drive modes. It's made a world of difference with the shifting and torque settings. You can do a huge amount of upgrading on the trans with it. Of course now comes the time when you may want to consider your many options. You can put on some serious power if you want and still keep the OEM turbos through going with some Mods. I think you might already have the down pipes?? Not sure but those are VERY awesome upgrade as well as the front intercooler then some E85 (E40 blend or E50 makes a HUGE difference) This is all while using the MHD app to tune your car. Ive gotten to the point where I'm Running a Custom tune from JSRTuning with up graded 17T turbos (I think your New ones might be those same type) When you do (or if? lol) the new Intercooler make sure you get the larger sized 7.5 or even a 7 inch cooler as I learned the more expensive way that once I put the smaller 5 inch intercooler on mine I wished I'd gone bigger when I found myself able to go further with the mods 6 moths later. ROCK ON BRO!! I still recommend checking out the "Zero to 60" channel as Andrew was a HUGE help to me when I watched the videos on his cheap 17T turbo car build. All his mistakes were SO much help! Don't go for the 3.5 T-Map right away as it's not really any help unless you have the bigger turbos on and all the other mods first. LOVE YA MAN!! SAGE is so SWEET! Wow you spoil your chickies! LOL. Long Johns for feed!

    I had 2009 335 coupe loved it when it was running fine. It was a bit of a nightmare between the waste gates, high pressure fuel pump and fuel injectors. I traded it in before my warranty was up as the two HPFP, the waste gates and three times the injectors were replaced under warranty for a 2011 328 sport wagon needed more practicality. I had the sport wagon for 5 years without one single problem.

  • @basesperanca
    @basesperanca 2 дні тому

    Hell yeah Alex!!! Way to go brother, really enjoyed watching this. In hindsight it's so obvious, isn't it? Not building boost - waste gate malfunction. But it's always easy once we know the answer. That's why I think good mechanics are so underrated. Like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes, and some issues it takes a real "Dr. House" to get to the bottom of.
    Looking forward to the next episode!!

    Yeah these things can be difficult to diagnose sometimes no matter how good of a mechanic you are lol Glad you got your boost on the 335 fixed. No check engine light with you boosting it several times on the interstate id say yeah you more than likely nailed it there. Good eye on the actuator. My X1 was smoking from the cat and I ordered a new cat and already took the other one off and the gasket looked torched. So the tapping noise I was hearing could be a leak in the cat hence the smoke. Not sure yet. Hoping the new Elring turbo/cat gasket and new cat will fix it.

  • @exiteternium
    @exiteternium 2 дні тому

    ignore the pluasability code, just make sure i's above 50 PSI under WOT, and HPFP is over 1500, i have it as a shadow code. but my specs are good, with mid 1700 high side lowest, and 58 PSI lowside at lowest reading.
    And FYI, the lowside PCV ( the PCV under the plastic cap on the Bremmen valve cover) is TRASH, compelte utter and TOTAL trash, i took mine out, heated up the end cap to loosen the loctite, and took the cap off, and replaced the guts and cap with a VTTO PCV ( cause the VTTO PCV won't fit into the bremmen lowside PCV bore. )
    anyway right next to what you thought was the PCV is a black plastic cap, it's a 10 MM unscrew it, pull otu the valve and blow into the thin side, if it blows right through, your PCV is like how mine was, total trash.. and what you thought was PCV is actually high side flapper valve. the rear turbo under boost keeps the crankcase in slight vacuum while pulling air through a tiny hole in the flapper valve.
    i also replaced the plastic PCV cap with a metal aluminum one from Nicecnc on Ebay. screwed in great, sealed up great.
    And no, that is not cinnamon, it's Dakota/Tan, i have a E90 with the same interior, and 6 speed as well.
