The most underrated m5x turbo video
Thanks!
Very rarely do you come across actual tested & proven advice for turbo m5x motors IN E39 ESPECIALLY, love you for this brotha! I plan to do an engine out 5 speed swap & turbo build on my 530i sedan & will be using your videos as a bible !
I appreciate that!
Working on My E36/5California TopM50b25 g35turbo 5 speed swap
Thank you for this video. Please keep the turbo build alive.
Love the bmw videos! Keep on posting turbo content ❤
Thanks! Will do!
Awesome videos man, super super helpful for me trying to learn as much as possible about these M5x motors.
Glad to help!
Swivel head ratcheting 11MM to the rescue!
a wild dylan in the comments
Never had issues with my bmw 4 cylinder manifold coming loose at the head flange, but always used new bmw hardware and oe manifold gaskets.
SHUT UP no one asked you.
W hy not cut the mani into bank 1 and bank 2 won't that relieve the banana action? Doing research for a 96 328i m52. thx!!
id like to see a turbo s54 setup, preferably on mine
Greasy 6 liters only
Yes! They don't all have 24 exhaust studs 👍
Glad im not going nuts!
@@spankranchgarage Yeah later M54's only had 16 studs
What's up man, can i find the details on your turbo m54 somewhere? Like headbolts(studs) gasket etc.
Check out my other videos. I have 2 videos regarding M54 aluminum block head studs with lots of details.
@@spankranchgarage found them! what about headgasket for around 10 psi daily on pump ?
@@viviantjonkwanpaw3334 A stock replacement Elring gasket combined with the studs has worked fantastic for me
what size turbos do you usually recommend for bottom mount setups?
That totally depends on the type of power and response you want plus what chassis you are installing the engine in.
m54b30 e46 ~high 300s low 400s wheel. response wise im not certain yet.
@@davidrichards5849 3076 is a great size for that. Good boost by 3000rpm and can make 400whp
Where did you get that manifold?
It’s made by boostlogic. Probably no longer made it’s probably 15 years old
They come apart via unplanned disassembly every time on their own
Hate when that happens
gotta find the limit somehow haha@@spankranchgarage
Are You a Qualified Mechanic.
No I don't have any qualifications
Certain m54's won't have all 24 exhaust studs or even holes drilled for the rest of them. They will have a little dimple where you can drill and tap a hole for the stud however. Later e46's and the earlier 04/05 e60 525i/530i with the m54 will be like this.
Yup your exactly right!
