"I'm not gonna fully launch it here" *Proceeds to absolutely send it down the street* 💀
Its hard to control myself 😂
Was gonna say the same…proceeds to redline it in 1st 😂🤣😂🤣 have fun
Was about to state the same, haha. It's flying... i have a stock e46 so I'd know
You are making great content and i think all e46 comunity is thankfull to you 💪
Hey man, just wanted to say that you’ve been a HUGE help. Thank you for sharing everything! I’m almost done with my turbo build on my 330Ci. I have a ball bearing Precision 6262 turbo. Goal is to make around 400 - 430 whp 93. I’ll be honest, I was a little nervous going into this project just because I’ve never done a build this big before. It was the small things that concerned me the most. Watching your videos, I’m having a great time with this build and it’s been a fun learning experience. The only thing that I’m not liking so far is having to remove the oil pan for the oil return, lol. It is what it is. You’re doing a great deed for the E46 community and I think I speak for everyone when I say that what you’re doing is MUCH appreciated. Keep on killing it my guy 💪🏾
or run a scavenge pump and run it to dipstick tube
@@407_ryan8 I actually ended up getting a new oil pan and created a drain by drilling out the pan. I then sold the original pan, lol.
@@builtvisions has your e46 been reliable after the turbo
dawg are y’all cutring or arp studding like how long has this shit been holding up
you are a true blessing to the e46 community man, thank you.
Thanks man, glad I got to make a series on this so it can live on here forever.
@@hellrotgaragehas email???
The coolant shower got me, lmao. Good content as usual, Jared 🔥🙏
I been following your builds a while man. Good stuff.
Thanks!
that loFi background is almost as good as this build mate. Been following you for a little while now and your content is getting better with each video. I hope you get the following you deserve.
Your 1st sentence had me liking the video before even watching it.The build got me to sub.
You need more recognition bro. Good vid
great video man love the content
Wow this is well built Congrats brother! Keep it coming
Thanks man
Build is sick
This was a huge inspiration for my turbo E46. Currently setup for pump gas on 8 PSI boost tuned on an MS45.1 ECU with both 02 sensors in downpipe. I went with SevernTuning for the ECU flash. Still gets 20 ish MPG highway. But it absolutely rips when you put your foot down. Borgwarner S257SX-E spools at 3500RPM and sounds incredible
how much have u roughly spent on the car for the entire turbo kit to run good
@ramanpreetmann5772 i had a list at one point. To get things as they are now its about 6k. I strongly recommend buying a kit tho. I peiced together all the parts individually and me and my buddies did the fabrication. It was very rewarding but it took months of work. Just buy a kit and bolt that bish on
As a lover of E46s, its awesome to see someone modify an engine in detail on a budget. Very cool. I always wanted to boost my 3 series. Well done man. How are things holding up a year later?
Great video man! Subbed!
Thank you!
very clean isntall.i like it
Damn that looked like it went smoothly lol looks like fun
This is a great video thanks for being so in depth make me want a turbo E46 Bottom mount is the way to go for us California's I would love to put stock air box and make a hidden intake for turbo what did it make for power?
Surprised me when I saw the facelift bumper and preface lights and fenders. My car has same front except I added an m3 hood as well.
The stock filter box has snorkels for cold air. Maybe you can rig one to go on the opposite side?
I have disassembled and rebuild my M54 motor out of my 330i that I personally owned for 10 years since it had 110k miles on it, It had 245k on it when it died. When I saw this video it made me comment. Number 1 It died one evening after chain tensioner guides finally broke off because they are made out of plastic and as it harden it crumbles, I pulled hard out of the driveway and the engine sezed. Later When taking the engine apart, I saw almost no crank bearings left, See my videos, especially the cylinder 1 had severe bearing wear. So, boosting a 200k mile M52 or M54 is crazy, honestly speaking you are a day or a week or a chance away from it going out to the junk yard. These are awesome engines but if you start from Mile 1, when its rebuilt completely.
Great documentation. So the stock ECU and reflash is enough to handle the boost? No aftermarket ECU needed?
Great build. I did this in a 318 is low mount turbo. My turbo sits high enough to drain the oil itself. But i still have some smoke isues. Mostly when i come in a stop at trafic lights. What u susgest turbo rebuild ??
Sick!!
Man I bet that would be a fun thing to do on one of these! cool car!
Thanks!
Dope content I love this car you should replace your main bearings and rod bearings motor has a lot of mileage and arp headstud
Draggy this thing. I'd love to see the 0-60 and 60-130
Dude! Awesome build! Got an e46 330ci 2008 that I plan to do this to. While I daily my e46 328 ci from 1999. Since my wife stole my E87 120D...haha
Go for it!
@@hellrotgarage at the moment it's time that I'm short on. But the goal is still to be done by summer of next year.
Damn you also put all links to buy parts, thank you!
No problem!
Appreciate the build… what’s your diff situation and have you broken any axles? I ask cause im na B30 welded diff and go thru axles but only when I run 18s.
AWESOME
Can u put the links to the parts in the description and what the best site to get turbos from (great content btw)
Wtf I thought you hadn’t posted in forever but forgot my old yt account got banned, so glad I found these vids again, this project isn’t an IF but a WHEN I’m going to take it on haha
Sounds good man. Get after it. But yeah I don’t upload enough
what were the hp and torque numbers? great content btw too !
Hey bud what’s the size of the silicone bit you’ve used on the throttle body for the intercooler piping?
7.35 into the video Close your eye's That bmw rain hits different don't it ❤ Good video all round which is rare on you tube these days 👏 👏
I appreciate it!
Where do you find internals for rebuilds?? I can't find kits anywhere, or specs to order everything separately
How'd you know I was in the market for some sweet e46 lullaby sounds! That shower should work a treat
Cool build man ! how much hp ?
What was that left over in the oil pan? I have had my 2003 E46 for the past six months and starting to plan my build build.
That thing is fast
Its fun. Nothing crazy haha
Why you cut the turbo housing to mount the wastegate? This will influence the flow around the turbine wheel or not?
I've been wanting to do this to my 2003 330i after I finish ZHP interior and exterior swapping it, how's a moderately boosted (10psi or so) like as a daily? 5 speed, 2.93 rear end. Of course there's more to break and more to watch, but has boosting been semi-quasi reliable?
it greatly depends on the health of your engine and the quality of your parts, but running about 10 psi should be fine if you do it, right 👍🏼
do you have some what links to parts you used or listing?
on god no cap
Holy
hi i was wondering if you think i could put twins on them i have 2 sitting there pure 600s but there for a n54 you think i could make it work
Dyno numbers numbers numberssssssss!
It only made like 360 but the engine died shortly after so that explains the low number. Was a junk yard engine.
@@hellrotgarage Ah Gotcha. Serious question though, why not get a nice e46 M3 instead of buying so many 3 series?
So what you are saying is I need to buy an aluminum welder and figure out how to weld? Very concise video though!
have u though about going LSD or have you not had any issues getting the power down
was this on the stock clutch? forgive me if I missed whether you clarified or not
Good edit!
Thanks!
No CEL on an E46?? Subscribed
Are those metal filings in your oil pan? From where?😅
Cool 👍🏽 must be awesome to drive with turbo. Never drove a turbo bm. Only Hondas
I dont think it was entirely stock tuning wise. The redline on a stock motor was 6500 stock, but in the first launch it looked like it got up to 6600 or 6700 ish. Could just be the inertia of the gauge
Nice bild ! If I am not mistaken, you have used stock ECU right ?
yes he did ms43 stock ecu
Does the rear end hold to this? Axles? Differential?
is there compare video before and after ?
where did you sell your cats at to be able to get a manifold?
Fast as my n55 stage 1
Great build How much power did it actually make?
around 550hp
Nah more like 400wheel
@@hellrotgarage that's a healthy number 👌👌 a M54B25 would yeald similar numbers or more like mid 300hp?
@@MrClarck100 you can hit about 400 with a 2.5 at like 1bar but that's really pushing it
Bro, how much is it doing in literes per 100km highway?
Any advice for mods on a 2001 325i?
Would this set up work on a z4 2.5?
how much power did it make
Will this work on an xi?
How did you weld that aluminum??
bro I NEED TO DO THIS TO MY CAR i’m always early to ur vids, i feel like this is hard asf to do on my own is there any way i can pay a shop to do this??
im 99% sure he can build it for you
@@laintrain14 fr?? how much would he charge tho?
@@mousaps4413 idk bro, message him
You think my engine can handle this setup around 400 hp with this setup? I got a 318i like yours with around 120000 miles.
You can get the turbo more efficient by relocating that intake pipe, now it’s sucking hot air
what e30 add ons was there i have a 330ci with the m54 and im trying to do this build just dk where to start
Start by buying everything
How much HP were you able to make?
Is it a stock ecu?
Is your subframe ok?
hello, up to how much power can the turbo be given with this stock engine m54b25 (unforged) and how many hp would it be aprox.
Mines on 8PSI and loves life. All depends on engine health. But 10PSI or less should be plenty reliable. Buy a quality manifold and quality turbo
Someone did 20psi with redline and the engine was fine after
How are you venting to atmosphere if you’re running a maf?
Bov has to be before the maf. Maf closest to tb
Can I put a turbo in a 318i e90 n46 engine
i have a 318ci with a 2.5 m54 from a 325i swap in it , how much would turboing it cost ?
Id say around 5k ish. Ive looked into upgrading my m57tu1d30 turbo systems and everything needed to get more power and thats around the price im prepared to spend and i think it would be pretty similar to this
what will cause if you position the oil drain nipple lower in the oil pan?
Oil from the pan will try to go up the line
2016 I finished my E46 turbo build but a good tune was impossible back then on stock dme😢
Lots of tuners today lol
Hello is this an us block (cast iron) or a eu block (aluminum)
Iron US
makes me wanna turbo my 325i e46 lol, but too afraid to boost with stock internals
It would be funny if u put the stick air box and put the air intake inside of the washer fluid tank and made it into a intake box
You could actually do it the other way, hide a washer fluid container in an airbox to not lose the ability to wash your windows. 5 extra feet of hose and you're good to go.
What did the sum of all the parts cost you brother? Just picked me up one of these cars
I have a video on that I just uploaded
How much power can a stock transmission hold and is it a getrag 5 speed
Getrags die with stock power. ZFs can handle 700 or so
This is a zf 5 speed
Any recommendations for a rhd manifold?
Im not really familiar with them
hahah he said doodooo 2:26
How much did this cost all in looking on doing this to my e46 325i
I have a video of the cost
Will I be able to pass emissions when I do this ? Cause I got to have it ?
Uhhhhh yeah probably based on your tune.
Not in California thats for sure
Hi, i don't understand. Do you use an new ECU ?
No tuned factory ecu
Ahhhhh okay okay, can i do the same alone ?@@hellrotgarage
i keep forgetting what it put down on the m54 before it went
I have a 2001 330ci and a 2004 Z4 3.0 roadster I would like to turbo.
Do it! Should be a similar process
What’s the HP?
Haha you said do do
what did this cost you?
could you create a link to all the parts you used?
Most of the parts are in the descriptions of the build videos.
What bhp was before and after ?
Whp stock was 180 something. Now it was 360-380 on a base map. Nearly 400wheel
How much for beracing tune ?
Check the website
I want my e46 (n42) move like this :D I dont know how to do any of that tho :/
n42 is already pretty unreliable haha
Just curious on a price break down..
Have a video of that already
