i Finally found you, my engine guide, my right arm, my friend that i dont have irl. I rarely comment anywhere but now i cant help my self, im so happy that i found you and your videos. Im going thru hard times in life but in the dark i still bought my dream car since i was a kid, an e46 330ci that im now working on in my garage. That was my dream since i was a child and now thanks to you i can advance my building and get to the level that i want to reach to be able to compete in drifting all by my self. Again, thank you sir for your videos, im sure you dont know how much this means for me, im grateful that i found you. Thank you again sir, bless you i wish you the best. Best regards from Sweden.
Bottom mount is the way to go IMO, not only for more stealth look but also, like you said, keep that AC. Gonna be using this in the coming days to start piecing mine together
you need to modify the suction hose and the hose to the condenser ( two hoses that go to compressor ) I cut and wielded the steel end of a suction hose off a early e39 97/98 ( the flange on compressor lays flat, I sent the line down under my motor mount Arm.) then I used a e90 line from the compressor to the condenser. that line was aluminum cut/wielded . a.k.a. one end was rotated 180*... my lines came from the local pick and pull. However Imo your best option is to take a e90 line and a early e39 line , or even e46 lines? to a ac / hydrolic hose shop .. tell them what size and shape you need. they reuse your old fitting ends , new hose. FWIW, my turbo rsi manifold car is a 2000 e39 touring. my m54(now m52) turbo car is a 94 e36 coupe. e36 is custom twin scroll. no a c. yet but it can. bolth ms43 swapped.
Glad this got recommended to me, a lot more helpful then all the forums and know it alls that just pop up to tell you you’re stupid or it’s not worth it
I think beracing has a drop off your car turn key option as well. For those that aren't as mechanically inclined and can afford it. I just picked up a 01 330ci, been looking and watching all your videos to figure out what direction I want to go. I appreciate it all!
So about 2800 bucks so far without the intercooler or wastegate, not bad :P. And here I was thinking I was going to build a new PC... Any objections to getting the stainless PPF exhaust manifold?
could you do a video on "3 series turbo selection" or "m5x turbo selection". seems like you have driven a 3576. and a 3584..... I have a gen 2 3582. (s52) really REALLY want to pull the trigger on a gen 3 pulsar 3584 , it's a 3584 "67mm" front and a 66mm turbine with a small trim wheel.... if the 3584 has good power below 4k I'm sold... I feel like the 62mm is too small for a m5x. 62mm is equivalent to a 2.4" exhaust (plus wastegate) then you take up a large part of that 2.4" hole with the actual 62mm turbine. Please and thank you! yes all thoes turbos you run have 62mm turbine, but I still value your experience. (watched all your tach videos, still can't tell when the 3584 makes power.)
Is going with a size you mention or shown in this video more advantageous THAN a smaller "more efficient" turbo in relation to the efficiency islands on a turbo graph? ...This is if one was looking to make around 10 psi for a reliable, street performance build... Seems like you know more than I do about deciding turbo size, and I came across your comment so I thought I'd see if you have any input on this. I'm very technical and like to know as much as I can when diving into projects!
Its fine, you can make good power, for sure you will make less than a b30 with exactly the same setup, but you will make at least 300hp with the most simple setup so its fine
Hi love the content. Quick question, I have a e46 m54 b30 been fully rebuilt with upgraded parts. Molnar forged rods, Mahle forged pistons, supertech valve springs, head studs, stock aluminium block, upgraded oil pump, has been ported on exhaust and intake side, m50 manifold installed. Wanted to push 600 bhp was wondering if you thought it was safe or what I could run.
arp head studs specially for aluminum? arp's don't always work so well on a m54. I used raceware studs for that reason (different thread ?) It's easy to look up the arp issue... Imo As long as You don't overheat your m54 should be good. I wouldn't shoot for 600. I would shoot for mid 4's to mid 5's with a good wide powerband on pump or pump plus meth. Honestly I Highly recommend e85 if you want it to live. once you clear 500... the longevity starts to drop. yes you can make 800 for 10,000 miles or 600 for 20,000 maybe? 500 it may live 30,000 miles or more? (yes I'm just talking about hypotheticals ) what compression ratio ? (what compression pistons, what siye pump ? what size injectors ? lotta factors play into what's possible on your exact set up.
@@hellrotgarage I didn't watch the whole video yet so forgive me if you went over this already.. What part(s) of a top mount turbo setup interfere with keeping AC?
Firrrssst
That was ridiculously fast

but big turbo high mounts look sicckk
I kept a.c. with my top mount (blunt tec / rapid spool )
@@drewdavis239 have any pictures of how you ran the ac lines and what not? i have the same manifold

Recently got a E39 with a m54, this is motivating me even more to go turbo.
I have an e39 as well. At the early stage of figuring parts required. Target is 400 bhp crank.
Good luck to you.
Glad this got recommended to me, a lot more helpful then all the forums and know it alls that just pop up to tell you you’re stupid or it’s not worth it
Step by step video of everything Would be fire🔥
Agreed
Yes !! Been waiting for you to put out this good recipe of a turbo build . Love all the content man
I'm looking forward to this build, thanks again for the great content.👍
Been waiting yay
There will be more. Still collecting stuff!

Well that would be dropped off to me if that option is chose.
@@hellrotgarage Well that's interesting!
Hopwood motorsports sells a 100% kit also
Can’t wait to start my turbo build on my 03 330i. 😊 thinking about bottom mount now
I mean you basically need to make your own exhaust no matter the setup and the intercooler stuff isnt too bad to find
Please continue this asappp🤙🤙
you are a god! thanks for the video, lots of useful info.
So about 2800 bucks so far without the intercooler or wastegate, not bad :P. And here I was thinking I was going to build a new PC... Any objections to getting the stainless PPF exhaust manifold?
yes i think you can go cheaper
Definitely can go cheaper on that part bro
the coolant drain on the exhaust side is on the block, but tomato tomato

SPA makes a wastegate relocation pipe that puts it down next to the frame rail
Do you have the link?
It was on the SPA website last time I checked
Put it in a horrible spot. Iv tried them
@@hellrotgarage Good to know, I was considering switching to bottom mount but I think I'll stick to my rsi top mount.
What did you do about the fuel pressure regulator? Did you go aftermarket and if so what filter did you go with?
can you please make a top mount part list please i want to build a top mounted one
is it a bad idea to boost a m54b25? or is it fine ill just make less power than the b30 can make?
Its fine, you can make good power, for sure you will make less than a b30 with exactly the same setup, but you will make at least 300hp with the most simple setup so its fine
So a GT35 size turbo will fit in the bottom mount location? That's good to know.

Arps aren't the best for e46s the rest is fine
@@drewdavis239 my bad it’s not arp studs it’s k64 performance head studs. I’m using arp rod bolts
@@OHioyungsta it’s k64 performance studs
Can we run a Mitsubishi kkk24 or 19t? also Volvo b62 has a turbo inline 6 manifold Volvos are cheap and lots of parts to play with
and what turbine housing and compressor housing did you choose
just wondering whar did you do to solve the subframe problem
\
anyone have any insight on doing this on a 323i/m52tub25??
Have a stock 00 e46 sport sedan with borla exhaust. Would i need new exhaust for turbo
Would this be compatible with the earlier gens with the m52tu? I have a 2000 328
Question can you twin turbo a m54
No shit just what I wanted
I try!
@@hellrotgarage I didn't watch the whole video yet so forgive me if you went over this already.. What part(s) of a top mount turbo setup interfere with keeping AC?
@@Darkaccent The actual turbo manifold usually. Some you can keep the compressor but you cant attach the ac lines.
@@Darkaccent you just need to get extentded lines made and then tuck them down away from the manifold to have ac everything else clears fine
How much power would this make?
🙏🙏
would this fit on a e39 ?
2 uploads in 2 days 😩
why even bother with this, if the 335i is so cheap to get now
Junk
Given the amount of issues the early 335i are, m5x budget turbo option is a more affordable and reliable approach.
