Rookie numbers! From factory the crankshaft and the cam shaft comes installed the wrong way around. You want to switch them around and put your cams in the bottom and the crank on the top. I got 1000hp to the wheels. I also took the wing off of a civic type R and put it on the hood so my car doesn't wheelie when I launch it.
Things to do 1. Chargepipe 2. Oil catch can 3. Catless downpipes (catted if restricted) 4. Intercooler 5.MHD stage 2+ 6. relocated inlets, I haven’t done mine because I plan on upgrading turbos so I won’t have to do it twice because it’s a pain in the a**.
You do not need to relocate the intakes. Not for anything under 700-800hp. It makes no difference to power and the throttle response isn't noticeably better. Uprated inlets in the original location is much a better option as its way cheaper, way easier and they allow the stock turbos to get more air so they are under less loads whilst delivering the same boost. So this is a mod to improve longevity of stock turbos and is a necessity for bigger turbos if your aim is to hit 500-700hp. If you plan to drive hard, you need to uprate your oil cooler, especially if you live in a hotter climate. Even if you live in a cooler place, you need to cool your automatic transmission if you have an N54 with a slushbox auto.
I have the 5'cooler, charge pipe, duel cones intake, 3" inlets. I would love to have the downpipes, but in California I will never be able to pass smog check again. I feel and see the power improvement.
Bro I have all that too except intercooler and the difference to going catless is insane but there are also high flow cats you can get so you can pass smog and if you have a 335i with the N54 motor it has secondary downpipes which you dont feel as much power gain as the downpipes but it still will gain a little hp and it passes smog test
Im fbo rn running mhd stage2+ do you think i can achieve 400whp with only e85 mix? And also would running e85 mix everytime harm the fuel pump? What mix percent would you recommend? Thank you!!
Mandrake ZL definitely! The max I would go on a healthy stock fuel pump is like e25. Upgrade your low pressure fuel pump and you can run up to e60 which will feel amazing. Here’s the one I recommend: n54builds.com/collections/frontpage/products/n54-stage-2-lpfp-e85-compatible
hey man, love the vid... i noticed in the comments lots of people asked about emissions with this car. since its a year later, i was wondering status on if it passed. im about to get some and was wondering! Thanks man
The problem is that octane number does not really provide power. The higher the number the more timing you can put. So if you are running 93 tune on 91 I would check wether knock is not happening
Sohail A I noticed a small difference in turbo spool when I switched to them. It was a few hundred rpm less than the stock air box. When air goes through turbos it gets extremely hot, your best bet is to spend money on a quality Intercooler
@@peakerpolo10 hey. Yeh I totally misinterpreted your comment! I thought you were against! But you are saying they are a positive! I will get the DCI and the intercooler.
Why would you do that bro ? Just buy an ebay intercooler at the very least ! Trust me you dont want to cut corners on this car ! Just do things the right way and it will treat you right most of the time lol kinda
Been running 1+ for a year and it’s totally fine. Don’t do a shitload of pulls in a row. You’ll be fine. Car will retard timing as needed as IATs go up.
I've been running MHD stage 1 on stock coils and plugs for nearly 2 months and all is good. But mind you, my 335i only has 55,000 Km's, and i also have Eldor coils and fresh Bosch plugs on hand just in case.
I run OE BMW plugs, Delphi coil packs 5" stepped ARM fmic 1.75" vrsf inlets BMS charge pipe BMS DCI Stage 1+ MHD tune Been running fine for 2 months now, I did my plugs and coil packs right before I did my tune. That's really the key is to make sure that their brand new and keep refreshing them
