I got an E46 320d a few weeks ago. Had a few basic mods with swirl flap, egr valve and some knock off coilovers and so far I think it's a good budget build. Loads have been done before so it's so good for the DIY build at home. Keen to see how you guys go forward with the build.
Very interesting that someone took this engine and try to modify it, i own, the same vavletronic engine the N42, if you change the valve seals and the timing kit, the engine it's indestructible :D and very cheap to maintain :D keep it up :D
Love the story from Gordon Murray on collecting cars where he explained that in the 8’s they’d take a standard 318i block, leave it outside to rust so it would get stronger and then push 1,200 hp through it whilst cooling it with ice. Insane…
N42/N46 is great when it runs ok :D I am looking forward how much will you get from it. People are not tuning this engine, they rather swap it to straight six m52/m54
Valvetronic control is not concern at wide open throttle.. linearising the control section is key for smooth operation although we can totally turn it off if need be.
@@NVMotorsportUK strange iv never experienced this on e46s il have a look at a few that I have done in the past and can email you over a few iv done and see if theirs any alternative for you you guys know your stuff so I don’t doubt you at all some ecus are funny that way
u can buy an aftermarket manifold for 200 quid for anyone who wants to know, also i'm trying to do this build on a budget don't blow the 318i parts up in value mann what program did u use to tune the stock ecu?
@@NVMotorsportUK actually i do have a question, how did u manage to change up the timing etc. on the me9.2? i have been trying to find out how for months
@@NVMotorsportUK common things is to put m50 intake on m52 but you are losing nm at bottom end retune gives it back i wonder if it is same case in here
Budget Mods for a Budget project!! Whats next…?
You are welcome to engine swap my 325i to N55 mate :-)
Challenge accepted.. post ours👀
SNDD IT TA T MOON WITH EBAY TURBO
The amount of time and effort for “budget” mods was not worth it
You can say that again😅

just weld the subframe before everything else!

Twin charge or VNT for something different, I'd say that would then be the world's first on that engine haha
I got a e46 318i so I’m interested to see if you keep the engine and do it up 👀
Definitely needs an eBay turbocharger
🤑🧾
That overrun was on point 👏😂
😅🤣
‘Aston Martin if you’re watching I can panel beat’ 😂😂😂😂 - makes cars faster than Astons
😅
@@NVMotorsportUK you know there’s one “master builder” at Aston watching you rip the insides of the cats out wishing he could do stuff like that!
😅
A supercharger would be lovely to see 😃
would be fun to see how fast is it to 62mph(100kmh) compare to factory claim for stock engine.Got 318ci so would be interesting to see
Bruno from bds tuning will probably accept your challenge with his tuned 318 lol
Great work guys nice to see something different being tuned
Is it a N42b20 e46?
Just educate us how to to m54b25: supercharger and turbocharger please.
Coilovers, brakes and big boost. See how far you can push the 4 pot before engine converting it 😂
I think rods will leave the chat😅
People needs to start to put respect on Mabz name as Tuner to be recognized amongst tuning scene. Lol big nvm
🙏🏽
Hi, what software/scanner/hardware is needed to map the dme on these n46 cars?
Cheers brother
Giggles all the way the way threw that bruv.. eBay turbo kit mate pls 😎✌👍👊
Ebay needs to sponsor the build😂
what if you turn this in a HIGH revving engine, talkin about 9k rpm or even 10k
different 🔥
How did you do pops and bangs on that engine ? Know with ECU tune but which software? I heard that n42 has locked ecu
Check out the next episode tomorrow👌
Turbo it 👀
🚀
turbo it and lets see the limit of these engine. Will be interesting.
TURBO 🚀🚀🚀
Get it to run on bike carbs for them induction sounds
Salaam brother will the OBDeleven work for all cars. which 1 do u have there are loads
The surfer It is in the right direction 🔥🔥
You've cut the cats, now time to cut the springs 😂🤣 all jokes aside though not bad gains there
Deffo needs suspension🫡
Which what program did you tune the ECU?
TURBOOOOOO !!!!!!!! No one has posted a video on this engine with a turbo
Yeah u gotta turbo that 😂
Haha
2.5 straight 6 swap from 323/325i, FK coilovers from ebay and ebay stainless steel exhaust
Can you code injectors with the obd tool?
Just a great car 🥹
I saiid turbo it from day one for bants😂❤
😂📈🚀
Turbo al the way
N42/N46 is great when it runs ok :D I am looking forward how much will you get from it. People are not tuning this engine, they rather swap it to straight six m52/m54
Yeh that was the point of this vid.. think E30 map would be mad😅
They swap them because these engines aren't reliable :)
I believe if we really wanted to… valvetronic delete and itbs it could be a very good engine.
Although our investment wont be in the N42👀
@@Fiat138 they swap them because they want more power and a swap is easier than a turbo build
There is on guy here in Czech republic who turboed this engine. Would love to see it done to this car.
I know a guy that has turboed and moded it for drifting. It's cracy
If it is n42/n46.
Then maybe there is a chance to run a head from e90 320is n45 racing engine.
Possible but not worth the drama
Team 318i here
What modifications did you make to the exhaust exactly ?
Check previous Vlog
Something that none does, M54b22 (170hp) 2.2 and M62 super charger on MS43.
Different 👌
I have a moded e46 m54b22, hella fun, knn filter, super sprint headers and a tune 👌🏻 it shoots a bit of a flame
Why tumbnail lookin like he standing infront of vent on mirage, ct side?
Turbo 👍🏼
🐌
Me personally? I'd love to see something you guys Excell in swapped in. N54, N55, B58. And I'd love to see this at Donny!
A great bunch of blocks… gonna be hard to choose
You bashed that one out ✌🏾👊🏻.
Come again😅
How did you manage to rev it upto 7000 rpm knowing the Valvetronic limitations?
Valvetronic control is not concern at wide open throttle.. linearising the control section is key for smooth operation although we can totally turn it off if need be.
Needs a turbo
sick content lad
13:20 Do a trubo intercooler exhaust
get another 318i but with the m43b19 and try to tune thatone.
Never😅
n54 swapped 318i already done. got 770whp lol
Lmao N42 is what we are talking about obviously 😅😅😅😅
Be interesting to see an engine swap. But for budget fun surely just weld the diff, square up the tyres and go drifting 😁
Welding diff would be hilarious🤣
Nitrous it!!
🚀
-45 use that info how you will 😉 for the pops and bangs on these engines you know where to look
-25 etc in your ignition map doesn’t quite do it they need to be pulled back quite hard being an with tiny injectors
Just pulling ignition when fuel cut off delay maps are not present in the software is not doing it. Also cw is not a switch.

@@k_tec_tuning i think i have found a solution by chucking the rom in Ida.. disassembly on me9 takes me back to college😅

what program did u use to tune the stock ecu?
Doesnt fit RHD.. and we aren’t planning to keep this engine too long
M42 Swap, would be amazing
There used to be a guy down south that used to race compacts he used to get some gains from the 4 cylinders I’ll try find his name
For what it is, those delta gains are amazing mate and I'm sure it drives better as well!!
eBay Wuhan Whistler sent to the Moon up next!
Yeh not seen any tuning on the me9.2 for the N42 so been an interesting development
@@NVMotorsportUK actually i do have a question, how did u manage to change up the timing etc. on the me9.2? i have been trying to find out how for months
Hmmmmm, i have the same car but i’ve got the 316i…i wanna test that 😂😂😂
Weld the diff in this and send it 🤣
if just for the sound supercharge it, eaton from a mini.
Superchaaaaaaarge
Supercharger!
Now try that with M43 engine
Put the Audi diesel v10 in it sure you’ll find one easy enough🤣
0-100 how mutch?
more compaction!!!
The smell of a daily driven car with cats off, doesn’t deserve a few horsepowers more. Nice video tho
Challenge accepted! ~ March will be reveal time.
Turboing it would be awesome! You never really see it
Throw some itb’s on it lol
Bike itb’s obvs
I’m looking for XDF ms46 for 318i
That was 500 euros worth of demolition of the catalytic converter :S
welded diff
if you sold the cats you would get some quick cash and buy some ebay ehaust systen xd or more mods but ok cut and weld haha
Think you should engine swap it and stick a M50 Turbo in there 🔥🔥
Bit overdone?
Another thought.. N54 swap it, drift works sell the kit to swap into an e46 😏
N54 would be good but bit dated..
budget friendly modification ofc..remove the cats XD ricer i wonder if that N/A engine is going to lose NM at bottom end
It didnt👌
@@NVMotorsportUK common things is to put m50 intake on m52 but you are losing nm at bottom end retune gives it back i wonder if it is same case in here
turbocharger too se what this engine can do
not sure , u have WF318i , im now on 250hp (and thats the begining), so still fastests N42 ... give me echo after u reach 250hp
Cut the springs we all like budget car build
Haha.. shocks are gone😅
EBay turbo 🙏🙏
Ebay please sponsor 😅
put on a turbo on that n46 engine
N42
Long tube headers 😅
This video had too many ads and too many: Sounds like a Honda 😅
Scorpion exhaust
They got the call😂
@@NVMotorsportUK can’t wait
Valve seals 💀🤣 i have 316i with 1.8 this is the most common issue on this 4 cyl engines and this is a reason why i want to swap from n46 to m54
Yes valve stem seals with 180000 miles will be worn! This is N42 though b20
M54b30, slap a turbo on it and rip it
N55 swap first 318i n55 🤴
N55 is life ❤️
Slap a cheap ebay turbo on it 😂👍🏻
🐌👌
Definitely an ebay turbocharger 😆

Supercharger it if you’re bad
