Nice, I plan to follow and build mine the same way. I have a 330i with 200k. I plan to keep mine at 10psi. This is the first e46 turbo I've seen built and run on UA-cam. Please keep making videos of every car your doing. Won't be long you will be UA-cam famous. Nice job!
Wow for a 2.5 with 220k this thing scoots quick! Makes me wanna follow the same kit on mine! Yes you should record the new mid October build . Looking forward to the dad drive . Can’t believe how fast it is
Rocked the same setup on my turbo e46. Manual boost controller set to 10 psi was just enough power to pass pretty much anything on the street without sacrificing the reliability. Put 40k daily driver miles on the setup and never had an issue besides the usual VCG gasket here and there.
The 2.5 is pretty good. I have the m54b25 with stock internals (200k miles). I am around 15 psi with m50 manifold +E85 runs good and is safe. Get a good tune and if you can run ethanol stock lines are fine and you will have a reliable setup.
You make great videos. This convinced me to do this to mines now . If you’re able to play up your personality you’ll be at 100k subs in no time , wish you the best
Hello nice work this car is fast I'm teo from greece I'm turboing my m52tub20 and I was wondering where I can get turbo base map i would appreciate if you can help me
Such a good channel. Planning to boost my m54b22. Over square engine and such thick cylinder walls. 200k miles. Now the question. Could I use 3.0 injectors and stock fuel pump. Planning to get 300hp. So yea a small gain compared to 3.0 but the 2.2 engines are soooo cheap here. Same ms43 2.2makes about 170hp stock . Tnx and have fun !!!
all m54s run the same fuel system all the way to the injectors, but ovbs the 3.0 has bigger injectors, the is no point putting the b30 injectors on a 2.2 unless you can get more air into the engine
I have a 2002 325ci with about 200,000 miles.Im definitely going follow your guide. I have two questions.. I live in a smog state. Does the cvd piping top of motor effect smog . Can I keep the cvd? And my car is an automatic. If I keep the boost around 8 to 10 lbs will the tranny survive? I would not be doing any hard digs. If not I have a manual. And everything but the pedal sensors. Can you link me to were I can get them new. Mine uses 2
i have a 330xi, always wanted a fun daily, it has 191k, do you recommend maybe saving up for a new unit to start work on? also wondering on how boost would handle with the awd transmission, is the transfer case reliable enough for 400hp?
These B25's seem pretty damn spicy with a turbo on em. Do you think a B30 turbo would be that much faster? Those engines are much more costly (at least where I live). The B30 in my 330Ci has done half a million k's and is ripe for a rebuild, or a swap. Getting the engine rebuild would cost a few grand, but a used B25 with decent milage would cost heaps less, leaving a bunch of money for a turbo. What do you think? Is a turbo B30 going to be that much more fun than a B25, given the same setup?
b30 has issues enough without a turbo, 2.5 engines rev better and safer and make basically the same power. The thing is the bore is the same 2.5 2.8 3.0, and bore is the main thing that affects power. 3.0 is overrated, 2.5 with tune, 3.0 cams and intake makes almost the same power (with a bit less torque)
most of power loss is due to less agressive cam and restrictive intake manifold. If you install both + injectors and decat you should see similar power to 330i with higher rev limit, be it with a bit less torque @@HuskkM8

@codyaplin
Me too I have a 2002ci and I’m planning to do the same thing he help a lot
He didn’t do a step by step though. But yeah he had some running turbo content
There are a few that have been done through out the years.
Also TylerOLeary which he is dam near e46 king
Nice to see it up and running so quick, Good job man!
Cant wait to do the same thing on my 325! Definitely want to see more like this, keep it coming
That magniflow you have is a game changer to the M54's natural farty sound. Great quality build, and in a timely manner.

Keep doing what you're doing man!
dud i just found your channel and this is exactly what I was looking for ! amazing video, I'm gonna watch all of the build videos rn

that's awesome man it's really been a long time coming lol thanks for the turbo vids though
Awesome! Love the content
Bro keep up the good work 👏🏾👏🏾. I am hoping to boost mine next summer
So excited for this! 10PSI and this B25 sings! Gotta love it
Please make more videos. Amazing content. Really wanting to do this once.
aint no way you converted to ms43 that fast holy dude, good job you really do inspire me to say fuck it and throw a turbo onto mine!
This thing pulled hard. Very impressive.
Nice work man.
This video makes me not give up on my old project man :/ my e46 runs well just needs minor upgrades to the axles and front end bar 😢😢😢
Awesome build. I want to turbo my e46 m3. Getting ideas from you. Thanks alot...
oh man, this video made me want to buy another E46... mine was the same spec as this car, only difference was the wheels.
We would love to see the build coming up!
Just watched the last episode 3 hours ago!! Let’s go! Gonna attempt on my Z3 hopefully before sprinf

u gotta make a video of ur car bro would love to see it
So whats up with these guys saying you go higher then 5psi 😅
Can anyone send there bin and xdf
Have you had it dynoed? Id like to see the numbers
How much did it cost u
Maaaan on man I gotta get another e46 and boost it. This thing looks like a blast!
GOAT
You make great videos. This convinced me to do this to mines now . If you’re able to play up your personality you’ll be at 100k subs in no time , wish you the best
235k miles and that things rips. Makes me wanna sell my 335i :D
quality video..
I got a z4 2.5 top Mount makes 8 psi bhp is 365, and 8 psi won’t hurt it that much as 10-12
def wanna see that vid with your dad. tell him you just built the engine and fixed it up. surprise him!! lmao
He knows I turbod it already. I’ll probably just let him drive it
@@hellrotgarage ahhh bet i’d still love to see that! I always enjoy everything you put out!
yooo, car sounds rlly good, what u runin? like a muffler delete or?
Nice swap! I wanted to do this to my e36 but its sold :/
Hello nice work this car is fast I'm teo from greece I'm turboing my m52tub20 and I was wondering where I can get turbo base map i would appreciate if you can help me
i feel like the trend with these vids is always with the car being almost empty on gas lmao
Christmas in October
How is the oil drainage off the turbo ? Any smoke ???
Do you have to get a tune from him yo get his flasher?
Do you have a LSD on it or is it the stock diff?
Also, stock exhaust or straight piped?
Which diff and gearbox are you running @hellrot? :)
How much horsepower do you think it’s running?
How do you wire afr gauge

if u turbo your 2.2 u need bigger injector for sure more like bosch 440cc or deka 6900371

Automatic will not hold anything
do you think you could do a total estimated cost list for the turbo build ? This thing is amazing keep up the great content
That will actually be the next video
Call me crazy but I wanna do one of these in a b5,
i have a 330xi, always wanted a fun daily, it has 191k, do you recommend maybe saving up for a new unit to start work on? also wondering on how boost would handle with the awd transmission, is the transfer case reliable enough for 400hp?
also unfortunately cannot do rwd in my case, where i live demands awd for the winter.
This with m52b28 block right?
Fan f*cking tastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

go b30 bro
b30 has issues enough without a turbo, 2.5 engines rev better and safer and make basically the same power.
The thing is the bore is the same 2.5 2.8 3.0, and bore is the main thing that affects power.
3.0 is overrated, 2.5 with tune, 3.0 cams and intake makes almost the same power (with a bit less torque)
@@sultanofswingdrift3021 2.5 has almost 40 hp less stock, what tune we talking about here to get 40hp out of stock setup
@@sultanofswingdrift3021 interesting. Are you talking m52 or m54?
most of power loss is due to less agressive cam and restrictive intake manifold. If you install both + injectors and decat you should see similar power to 330i with higher rev limit, be it with a bit less torque @@HuskkM8
How long do you expect it to live with that power and millage
should last a while after the car is running perfect and set on 10lbs and a good tune
You think the same thing can be done on a 325xi. Would the transfer case hold the power?
I think you’d have to fab your own manifold
M54b25?
Heads up bud your thumbnail did not show up.
So did you get the tune for MS45 or convert the DME to MS43?
Ms43
@@hellrotgarage Thanks! might be helpful to add some detail on what you had to do to change over to MS43 (just a suggestion)
Are you using the ms43 ecu, piggyback ir standalone?
Ms43
@@hellrotgarage Thank you :D
Did you upgrade the head gasket
No
Can I get that bin and xdf
Did you cover your ccv delete?
I have videos over it all
what did you do with the ccv?
Delete it all
@@hellrotgarage but in the video i see the pipe of ccv coming from the valve cover is still there
Do u tune with stock dme ?
Yes ms43
How much power did you get from this?
Like 360-400wheel. It wasn’t anything crazy
@@hellrotgarage that a pretty decent number for a gun car to drive. Just asking for myself. Thinking on getting one here soon.
Where did you get the tune flash ?
Be racing tuning on Facebook. Tell him I sent you
Awsome thanks , I want to do a turbo build but that’s been my hold up in Canada not being able to find anyone to tune bmw
Where you find a bumper like that?
Its a ebay H style lip on a stock preface coupe bumper
@@hellrotgaragethanks
@@hellrotgarageyou know anyone selling hoods?
Is it a 5 speed getrag
No. Zf only. The getrags will not handle power over stock.
wait wait, where is your ccv? i see no hose where its supposed to be lol
Deleted it all
Added a hose that just vents under the car. you can see it when I had the hod popped before driving it
@@hellrotgarage ahh ok, i was like wtf
@@hellrotgarage Love the video to, exactly what i wanted to see, im looking for a turbo kit also for my 05 325i. this just makes it seem so worth it
I want so turbo my car how can i start?
I have a whole series where to start!
Mines automatic willl be ok if still turbo mine
Nahhh dont waste your time. Focus on finding a zf 5 speed swap
what'd he do with the engine for this ripping shit?
Nothing
This car gapped my e92 m3
for real? i got pretty much the same setup and keep saying im faster than a m3 i guess im not wrong lol
