N57 330D Hybrid Turbo
Hi Guys,
So I've gotten used to the remap on my 330D and craving a little more, nothing too mental but after looking around, it seems options for the N57 are limited... I'm currently at 300+ BHP and looking for anything north of 350bhp which I'll only get with a hybrid turbo and custom remap, the options I have found so far are: https://hitechperformance.co.uk/packages/bmw/e93-n57d30 This includes the turbo (exchange unit I guess), install and remap as well as a dyno readout before and after. https://venomhybridturbos.co.uk/coll...t=998538510357 This is just for the turbo (exchange) and it states for the F10 series but I guess it would be ok as it's the exact same engine. I would need to get it fitted as well as arrange a remap. It's worth noting I have never heard of either of these firms so I have no idea if they are any good or if I should steer clear.... I did look at Turbo Dynamics but they only seem to list turbo's for the M57..... Does anyone have experience with hybrid turbos on the N57 engine, if so where did you have it done and was it any good? Any suggestions/feedback would be appreciated. Thanks |

That first one seems a good price for all the work they do!!!! I’ve never looked into it but would have guessed double that! Mines an M57 but I would have thought the price would be similar. My only concern would be can the rest of the running gear take that much more torque reliably? I feel like mines (also mapped) already at its limit.

Lol.... A recent change at work had me thinking this however, the arse has fallen out of diesels so it just wouldn't make sense to get rid of mine now. I think I'll tune it a bit, keep it for a couple more years and just buy an ///M when I do get rid... |

Slightly off topic but I thought I'd throw it out there.... Should I go for an ///M car I've really always wanted an E34 M5, being the last of the hand built motors and all..... Found this thread which is pretty much exactly what I'd want to do....... https://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e3...o-project.html

Haha! Resurrection indeed!
I've not yet had this done, with a recent job change and pending house move this has slipped from the top of list of things to get done, I'm hoping to have this done before the year is out but not before I've done some refresh work like bushes all round, carbon clean, checking various pipes and hoses etc.. Once I know all of that is tip-top then I'll go hybrid turbos. |

Hey! I am also looking into a Hybrid albeit for the M57. I personally think an upgraded intercooler would be necessary to get the most out of it and also...an LSD! So that the power can actually be used properly. Just my opinion of course and I guess everyone has their own view.

Do you need an LSD? No.... But I would imagine the vast majority of folks here who have mapped motors are also (sensibly) keen drivers and would likely benefit from the additional control offered by an LSD.... |

I would love to have something more focused but life gets in the way as we all know. I personally could not have 2 separate cars for myself for convenience. I want the long distance cruiser. I also want to have capability through the corners where permitted. Obviously it is a compromise but you can make something good out of what you have already got. From a financial point of view, I am just paying for a hobby on a car I own outright instead of financing more "desirable" stuff.

Exhaust work is a bit of waste to be honest. No real gains and at the end of the day, you cannot make an inline diesel sound good, end of. Hence why you see not as many diesels with exhaust work done, unless it's an VAG TDI V6 or something.

any body used the two outfits in the links above?
seems a good price.. I wouldnt mind 350bhp but I think the amount of torque correlating to that would eat the clutch as I have a manual Last edited by Sukh Singh; 04-12-2019 at 05:17 AM.. |

I'm hoping to have the turbo done this year, preferably in the next couple of months but other stuff has taken priority...... I will likely take a punt on the guys in Northampton (High Tech Performance) as they seem to have some decent feedback. |

No, running a standard LUK DMF...
I did search around to see if such a thing existed and found whispers of people upgrading the springs of certain DMF's but I found no such thing for our cars. I'm sure the life of the DMF will be affected somewhat but I couldn't tell you by how much.... My last DMF did over 100K as it was original from factory so if I get 35K out of this one I'll be more than happy. |

mines on original flywheel at 131 k miles,,and when i sold my remapped e46 it had 157k miles and original clutch and flywheel,,its how you drive it ,that will determine how long it lasts,,keep using the lowdown torque and it will lessen its life,,keep in gears for the speed and will last longer..simples
