One of the few people that understands engineering before recommending changing parts. Kudos.

You seriously are a huge help in our community. I ordered the same turbo kit but with the bigger turbo and I just ordered port injection. It said I needed a different charge pipe and I was looking for one like crazy but then realized this kit already comes with one thank you so much for your videos you’re amazing again

Happy I can send people this link instead of having to explain it over and over agin, thank you sir.

I don't even own a BMW but I honestly enjoy your videos, learning something about the B58! Keep it up man

Subbed! Great Videos on the B58! Please keep em coming! Owning a 2019 440i GC and can't wait for the warranty to run out to finally give it a proper Stage 2

Solid advisement. Totally makes sense. Don’t go spending money after mods that’s aren’t needed. Dude is definitely an engineer when not moonlighting on BMWs.

Hey man, love your B58 content, very knowledgable and straight to the point. Just wondering with your doc race kit, is there any downsides to having your intake pod filter exposed like that in the engine bay? Since it may be susceptible to sucking in hot air created from the engine in a confined space.

I'll be posting more data once it's dialed it but so far I'm not having and IAT issues

i have a 2022 x3m40i stage 2 and when i put in the high flow cat and flashed to stage 2 i noticed a very loud noise coming from the engine bay that i didnt notice with stage 1 and stock and the floor boards were vibrating like crazy and i had vibration at the pedals which were a concern to me. I went and put a chargepipe in from cts and all of the vibrations and majority of the sound from the engine went away.

Love the videos man you really are the best channel for b58 engines!! I ordered a dorch stage 1 for my gen 1 b58 and I’m about to order a wmi kit. I was wondering what you recommend for the meth tank size. I’m worried 1 gallon might not be enough. Thanks!

To me the larger it is the better. Even if it's not spraying much you don't want to worry about it running out. I know a few people with the smaller tanks that have to replace it weekly but it depends on your driving habits.

How much it cost to put a turbo setup like that? Complete with tune

what about upgrading the intake manifold...does that provide power gain?

@kern417

Жыл бұрын

Not much. But it helps provide more consistent power in hotter temperatures.

Now another reason to upgrade charge pipe would be to get a BOV version if you plan to go EWG with how Vargas is making Factory controlled EWG turbo kits.

Mines kicked the bucket a month in after stage 2🥺

charge pipe goes directly from turbo to throttle body, no intercooler?

There is one aftermarket one made by Bigboost. The b58 doesn't have one because excess air is recirculated through the cylinder head via DME Tuning

@@kern417 awesome thanks fir the reply. One more question. I just picked up my 440i and it has catless VSRF dp. I hate the fuel smells when I am at a street light with the windows down. I’m curious if I get the catted vsrf dp with 200 cel cat, will that mainly fully resolve the fuel smells? Or will I still get some fuel smells with the race cat setup? I might just have to lose the hp and go back to stock cat :-/ I can’t stand the fuel smells!

Hey kern, I have a question. In the case where you have to go 40-50% throttle and bring up the engine to ~4-4.5k with the oil temp only around 150 degrees (read through torque app), could that do any harm? I got into a situation where I had to do so, but only once. I use special tec 5w-30 which has higher levels of zddp btw. I might be over worrying.

Should be similar in principle since it goes directly from turbo(s) to intake manifold but idk of there could potentially be other weak points

yes, i have had my car for over 6 years and over 600hp for 3 years. no one is breaking charge pipes for the reasons mentioned in the video. it works very well. steel is stronger than aluminum, so why don't you get something stronger? because it's not needed, weighs more, costs more to make, along with all the other other negatives. but feel free to keep making uneducated decisions about your build.

I stopped watching at exactly 20 seconds in. Hope I didn’t miss anything good.

Would you say inlet pipe first before charge pipe.
