BMW M5 - Going cheap on PARTS - GOOD or BAD idea ? Kingtec review

In the process of rebuilding another S63 engine (this time from a F10 M5) I received some much expected parts the car's owner bought ! A set of Kingtec Racing Forged rods and Forged Pistons.
In this video I am doing an Unboxing of the parts, as well as comparing them with the original BMW pistons and rods.
I was surprised when trying to find information about Kingtec Racing online, and wasn't successful finding nether good or bad experiences so here we are with an initial video .
Check our channel for more videos on BMW F10 M5 twin turbo V8 S63B44 - As you probably know this engine shares the same block with the N63 BMW engine.
##UPDATE - May 2024 I apologise for not having an update on this video as many of you guys are asking but I can guarantee a new video is on the way. Unfortunately the car owner had some issues and was unable to buy the remaining parts for us to rebuild his engine - Those parts are coming in now and we have his engine back on the stand - Fingers crossed and we should have an update video in a month or two once the car is running. Thank you for the understanding ! 👍

Great review bud, I'm interested in these rods and pistons from KingTec Racings and seriously wanting to pull the trigger to buy them already for my Megane 225 RS, Please update us on the what the machine shop says about the quality and how they running in the car.

@dnl35projects 4 месяца назад

Hi, I’ve got the crank back and the guys doing the balancing were pretty impressed with the quality of pistons/rods given the price we paid for them - I should be getting the block back from the machine shop next week and will start the rebuild - will definitely make an update video once the car is running and tunned.

@rumenstiliyanow4769 2 месяца назад

Nice video , looking forward to the next essential one. I've read some positive stuff about a guy with an M3 E92 who replaced his rod bearings with a custom set of "ACL Trimetal" and he stated that these basically "solve" the rod bearing issue. Another thing - what would you recommend if I'm replacing the rod bearings on a S63 should I replace the main bearings as well ?

@dnl35projects 2 месяца назад

You’re absolutely right ! Rod and main bearings are preventive maintenance in some of these high power BMW engines and in fact that’s what made me start this Channel in first place. I’ve done the rod bearings on my v10 M5 in 2019, along with an extensive service and the car has been running good ever since. I’m using ACL race series for rod bearings and King for main bearings - most of the engines I’ve done had relatively good main bearings but I rather spend the extra $250 and have the peace of mind the mains were done as well unless the car has less than 60-80k kms

@rumenstiliyanow4769 2 месяца назад

@@dnl35projects Thank you for the reply. I appreaciate your dedication to the S63 and overall all performance M engines. It would've been great if only we had more experienced people and enthusiasts like yourself to get the job done and for the customer to enjoy his fresh S63.

Great video series, will be watching with intrest as i would like an F13 M6 . Understand everyone has a budget but this doesn't seem a particularly good idea. Mainly because its an unknown, and having an unknown is not really worth the risk.

Yes I agree with you - I’m a bit nervous about putting it together 🤣

@roberteckersley7834 5 месяцев назад

@@dnl35projects lol I can imagine, still you have highlighted the risks I just hope all your hard work is not undone. I think for exhausts, charge coolers & intake kits then going this route is a none issue . But proper engine components are a tricky one. No doubt they are better than stock, but I don't know how confident you could be when you start to lean on them which it sounds like the owner may do .

@dnl35projects 4 месяца назад

@jobisrael8313 3 месяца назад

They said this is your last video which is 2 months ago. I want to see a video with the f90 and see do the high performance coolant box work better than the standard I'm not talking about the Cooling reservoir but the two boxes in the front. I looked up how much a f90 motor cost they said between 50k to 70k is that true? The Dodge Demon motor cost 31,000. 02-25-24

@dnl35projects 3 месяца назад

Hi there, yes the motor is really expensive. I’m definitely doing an update video once the F10 engine is put together however I was very busy with work until last week and will have more time for videos from today onwards. Yes the two upgraded intercoolers at front should definitely help with performance.

@Cell_expressja_ 5 месяцев назад

@BobsGT235 6 месяцев назад

I thought from the factory, only the connecting rods and crankshaft were forged on the S63, not the pistons. Am I incorrect?

@dnl35projects 6 месяцев назад

The crank is forged but neither the rods or pistons.

@BobsGT235 6 месяцев назад

Looks like BMW added forged rods on the latest S63.

@jamisonebert2398 5 месяцев назад

@nofaceahk5802 5 месяцев назад

Are you going to balance the crank with those pistons and rods ?

Yes - Technically the factory BMW should accept 3-4grams diference but I won’t take chances since it cost around $350 to have the set balanced

@kasp1971 19 дней назад

Yes, these pistons will force YOU to balance the crankshaft. Because the weight of the standard connecting rod-piston components differs from the weight of the Taiwanese ones. Crankshaft balancing is MANDATORY.

@dnl35projects 16 дней назад

Yes we had them balanced to perfection however the guys told me they were within the acceptable tolerances

@@dnl35projects Is it a problem with the piston ring?

@dnl35projects 20 дней назад

It depends on the application/engine you’re building - For big HP should be fine however If you require small end gaps to build street cars then you might require different rings. Kingtec is working on a solution at the moment.

@letmeknow4167 6 месяцев назад

Even if drop 20k on building a motor, expect to drop another 20k reparing or replacing the motor. No matter how bulletproof a motor is it will fail when making high power

@dnl35projects 6 месяцев назад

Well, it’s all a matter of how much power. If built correctly with quality parts the s63 can produce 700HP day and night with no issues. I’m currently building an S64TU4 with aims at reliable 1000HP as a daily - Stay tuned

You can grenade an engine?

@dnl35projects 26 дней назад

Absolutely 😆 - "grenading" an engine is a term used to describe catastrophic engine failure, often resulting in significant damage or destruction of internal components. If you forge an engine, increase the boost and it throw a rod the end results will be similar LOL

Hi, so the original BMW pistons are 18 thousand and the ones you have from china are 2000 dollars.

No, when I said about $3k each I am talking about a set of pistons being about $3k and a set of rods being another $3k - The guy paid about $2k for both (set of pistons and set of rods) from Kingtec/Alibaba.
