Yeah bro! He mentioned that car when we talked Friday! How's your build coming along?!

However, shop been awesome so surely he will make it work.

Yeah I hate the tubing too.... I wish I could do something cool with my hood without f'n it up 🤪

I’ve been running N/a for like three weeks now. I had to get my ESS changed, I didn’t have time to do it myself, and the only shop local that would do it, wanted the turbo removed. I’ve been trying to find time to reinstall everything, but I’ve e been working like 70 hours a week, far to exhausted.

Seeing that dyno sheet though has really sparked some motivation. I’d be ecstatic with a big 440 at the wheels, Bob sent me a new tune a few weeks back, so hopefully I can get it all back on this week.

Kiddvegas I hear that, bro. I'm sorry you're getting worked like that. Ffs... Fun fact: found out I broke the crank on the motor. 😂 My luck is so low with this girl. Wild.

Damn, I think you are the only one one these forums that's killed two N52s.

Not sure if that desires a medal or some other form of distinction or not.

C’mon bro, no one’s going to take you seriously with less than 3.

After 3, well then you will be a Legend!

Oh?!

Also, oil separator! Biginboca — homie who is doing the swap asked what I plan for that. Where did you tap the IM if you're running it that way??? I looked at the thread — I may be too much of a dummy to understand.

You have a 330 I think? (Metal Valve Cover?)

I have a 328 with the plastic valve cover so I didn’t have the oil separator to deal with. All I had to deal with was the PCV line which I drilled out for the elbow shaped port on yours, and then the fuel tank vent which connects to the n54 throttle body instead of directly to the manifold like on the n52 manifolds.

Biginboca I read you. So should I be using the N54 TB to make life inherently easier? And ye, on that metal valve cover life

Yes, n54 TB for sure is easier to deal with. It also flows a little better it’s like 3mm larger diameter.

Make sure when you do the N54 TB you install all the stuff after the TB as well.

Glad you said it, it's not a popular recommendation to the n52 crowd.

And this raises the age old question... do the turbos come before the TB or after the TB?

Chicken or Egg lol

[Minutes2Midnight]

I wish there was a way to modify a B58 intake manifold to work with the N5x engines. The packaging of the intercooler would be a perfect workaround for the SC intercooler limitations.

I hope you have it running a tune at the minimum!
