When we're not working on cars, we're watching the Grand Tour!

It is great to see you have the B58 coils installed Andrew. It will be interesting to see if there are any performance gains. I am running the BL coils with NGK 97968 plugs set at 0.018. I haven't experienced any issues with these as yet.
That is such a win mate, well done.
Reminds me of repinning different EVO ECUs in the old days. I haven't had any issues with the N55 coils as yet, going well but that's e40.
If I go further I will definitely look into the B58 coils.
Is this the first part of the B58 conversion? One component at a time? :D
LOLLLLL
😂
Well the b58 can do 1000hp as well... :p seen it at papadakis racing here on yt :)
This is awesome. Any chance youll start selling kits in your online store?
Thats the plan.
You are doing his r and d. Thats why genuine plug and play kits of any kind cost money. You are paying for not having to fuck around so much. But for you guys it makes good content.
And i get a free kit :D haha
@@ZeroTo60Tube yeah, thats the good bit! You have indeed earned the right of free kits.
Working hard as always, hope if pays off with the ball ache of installing them 😁
Wow great job! Maybe as a kit the guy can provide adapters from n54 to b58 plugs. This will solve the wires to be to short. Dutch regards, Nico.
That's a great idea, however i didnt like the idea of the extra connectors. But it would definitely be easier. To be honest, soldering the new ones in, wouldn't be too bad.
Often connector manufacturers will have multiple pin options that accept different gauge wiring.
Perhaps there are different pins for those B58 injectors available to fit the larger N54 wiring.
Looks like more beers were needed in the first timlaps... or maby less either way these look like they will be a good upgrade for the ol n54 😊
I think connectors are they way to go if you want to sell more of these. 70% of people will want the option to revert back to stock easily
Looking forward to see the results of this! Getting lots of timing corrections on my ST E91.
Check your high side fuel pressure. Even if you have PI the DME is designed to pull timing as it's first firebreak to save an engine from leaning out. Anything below 1500 it's a problem over 2000 is preferred. After a relative compression test with an oscilloscope the next thing I would do is put a spool helix overdrive for the HPFP and keep the DME seeing 3000psi all pull long
@@igotaction Fuel pressure is real good
@@Zalle335 low and high side pressures and short and long term fuel trims. If those are good then relative compression with oscilloscope and then plugs and coils.
@@igotaction i can send you a log if you wanna take a look? Would love some input. Maybe you see somethinh I dont
I would imagine some retuning would be in order.
Dinan n54 stock location. Work for me .. more connection and such look to busy.
That is a whole lot of hassle. Hope it's worth it!
This is the development set, once all these issues are ironed out, it should be a much easier install.
Did you fix the bleed nipples leaking on the brakes? 2 on each caliper. Had same issue as yours.
hate to say it but $300 is on the cheap side for crimp tools the common ones we use at work are 600-700 each, the tool from TE to do those terminals is 350 just for the die set and another 250 for the tool to put them in
You are probably right. Always remember i am such a tight ass, that i actually squeak when i walk...
DAMN, thats a fair bit of Vaseline in the big SP toolbox
That one time a put an automatic transmission together. Didnt use anywhere near as much as i thought i would.
Looks like a great result, they do make an improvement over the Eldor Coils then? 👍
Worth it if your going for big power.
Not really. And as you can see from the install, it’s a total pain in the ass. Even the Bosch coils are fine unless you’re running crazy boost.
@@TML34 Eldor Coils are better, failing that the Delphi ones. I've heard of too many Bosch coil failures on tuned N54's. It's a pain in the butt what Andrew had to go through but the B58 Coils are technically superior, hope they last long and perform well.
Tried again today, the B58s have definitely fixed the stutter on cold start. You dont have to do much research to realise how much more potential they have in the top end. I mean in theory a stronger spark should simply equal a more efficient burn of fuel. But we will see if its noticeable to the driver over the next few days.
Hello, I am a modification enthusiast from China. I have a better BMW B58 ignition coil to N54 solution. We have adopted a higher performance B58 ignition coil. I hope to communicate and discuss modification technology solutions with everyone. thanks
Why don't you spin coils 1, 3 + 5?
What part did you use for the coil boots ?
I don’t think they will fit spun and not sure on the boot. It about an inch longer.
You keeping that .018 gap and are those the 2 step colder ngks? I’ve read that my BL coils do best with .026 gapped ngk 95770 but I’ll find out for myself this weekend.
Yeah gonna leave them gapped how they are.
Anything like this available in the U.S?
Yes, absolutely. The nexsysmotorsport.com/n54-ignition-coil-upgrade-kit-stock-or-vtt-valve-cover/ is where its at.
Molex type crimp.
So any logic behind cold start spluttering with stock coils?
It’s the tight gap I run with a heavy ethanol mix.
Plug gap.
second great content as always!
Appreciate it!
Hey, Do you have Cold Start Noise Reduction activated? That was a quiet start! if so, any downsides? Thanks.
No, I don’t actually. But I don’t have the exhaust valve anyway. Miltek is a quiet exhaust.
Sohail A, The only downside i found, of turning off - cold start noise reduction is cats take longer to warm up, and engine oil takes slightly longer as well.
Unless your exhaust is really loud or your getting complaints from neighbours I'd personally leave it on.
@@Saif0412 oil already takes ages on these cars! I have downpipes so only 50% of the cats. I have to do it coz downpipes and PE mod made the cold start too loud. What kind of climate do you have? Is it already cold there to cause oil to take longer?
Hey Dude, Those crimps should be on good or you will get misfires. Also yes those coils will make a big difference you will see but… After I upgraded my coils a month later my DME mosfets blew cylinder 1 and 4…. I did give up on my N54 when this happened. Took a few months until I replaced the mosfets, But you have the MSD81? I had the MSD80 maybe the MSD81 has better mosfet??
What coils did you uprgade to? I’ve heard the ls1 coils are bad cor killing mosfets
@@ZeroTo60Tube I used Benchmark Bmw Uprated High Performance Coil Packs.
The coils probably didn’t kill your mosfets, most likeley a coincidence
Those are better than BL coil pack?
Apparently. The only better coils i am aware of are the R35 GTR coils.
Andrew have you ever done an analysis on what percentage you are fighting your BMW and what percentage you are fighting all the cheap Chinese crap you buy??🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️haha I hope you have more "here is how it would go if you have the real stuff" videos
Now i want them on my car! :/
Done a few more starts since this morning and she doesnt miss a beat. They make a difference.
I also really want them haha
how big is your shop mate?
6x12m and unfortunately it wasn’t setup for cars so it only has one small roller door in the corner.
I wish I could one day build one similar in size. looks like you’ve got it setup nicely none the less.. keep up the great content!
