    Good video, I want to do this soon. I'm still a bit confused with having to use 1/4 pipe for the BOV & an adaptor you have to get. You didn't show this & explain this part enough. If this BOV needs this 1/4 pipe, why don't they supply with the BOV? So this pipe doesn't go back onto the inlet pipe, where the original pipe came off? I take it his will need blanking off?

  • @stephenlozano2816
    @stephenlozano2816 Před 5 lety +11

    You forgot to mention that the 1/4” banjo fitting that connects to the top of the BOV needs to be oriented in such a way that the hole aligns correctly with the nipple part or else the flow will be blocked.

    Hey bmw fanatic I have a simple question that i can't find anywhere. If you take off your oil cap and look into it you will see a little hole, is it more proper to poor the oil directly into that small hole inside or does it not matter if you just poor it in wherever inside?

    I put mine in a year ago and my ARM Charge pipe is loose at the Throttle body. I have never been happy with it. I took another look at it. Still nothing changed! Does it supposed to have play like that? I have changed the ring in it. The clip snaps right on. I still try to push it in more. It wont go. Like thats it. And it moves a lot. No codes or any problems. Sounds great with my Tial valve. When he moves his. It has no play. Any ideas? Or am I good?? Or maybe just a bad pipe?

    It doesn’t look like the tial is opening. I had the same issue with my n54/ tial setup. Tried the yellow 11psi spring and it was too stiff. Also tried another softer spring and it was too soft. I ended up having to cut 2-3 rings off the yellow springs and it’s working perfect now.

    • @Nathan-db8ik
      @Nathan-db8ik Před 5 lety

      Ryan Toney I think I’m having the same issue. Would it only work at red line when it was at idle or when you let off the throttle at high rpm?

    • @ryantoney7052
      @ryantoney7052 Před 5 lety +2

      Nathan 223344 if the BOV is setup correctly it should open when you let off the gas peddle; the throttle body closes and the boost has nowhere to go so the bov opens allowing boost to escape. If the bov isn’t opening then the boost will be pushed back through the turbo causing compressor surge. If you have an n54 the first thing you want to do is upgrade your vacuum line with the vador solution kit.

    • @BMWFanatic
      @BMWFanatic  Před 5 lety

      Ryan Toney Yeah I noticed that too, which I’m going to look at again and see. Thanks for the suggestion

    • @baybiboy1
      @baybiboy1 Před 5 lety

      @@BMWFanatic If you still have your JB4 setup check your Auto Shift boost reduction. If the value is higher than 0 it will keep your throttle body open between gear changes and also when letting off throttle during high rpm pulls. HOWEVER.... If you're AUTO trans you are suppose to have some value above 0 as it keeps boost up around 2-5psi so the car doesn't bog down when shifting. I'm MANUAL trans so 0 setting is acceptable. Ask me how I know when my Tial didn't blow off as it should. A 0 setting -> Throttle plate closes -> Turbos still spooling (creating boost) -> Tial BOV opens vent to atmosphere. I also changed my TiAL BOV spring to 8psi black spring. Hope this helps!

    Hey I'm having problems with my upgraded charge pipe, I've been running full Bolton and a tune for 8 months and out of nowhere I can't do pulls anymore as the c clip isn't holding the charge pipe any longer not sure what to do

    • @caseysanders9860
      @caseysanders9860 Před 3 lety

      I was having a similar issue when I replaced my turbos and was making full boost again (also FBO stage 2+). Sometimes at WOT the charge pipe would pop off. I ended up finding that the charge pipe wasn’t fully seated and the C clip would go on and hold enough that I could wiggle and pull the charge pipe and it wouldn’t come off. I ended up disconnecting all other components from the charge pipe and shimmied it all the way into place. I believe that the new O ring on the charge pipe was just much more firm than the old one. Another trick I’ve used to get other piping in the system fully seated is to put a light coat of oil on the O ring before installing. This not only helps it slip into place but also gives an extra layer of protection against tearing or pinching the O ring inside its groove which would give you a difficult leak to find. Hope that helps and I’d be happy to go more into it if you’d like!

      1 slow E60 _ so far I have not. Although I did find one that works - ER Diverter Valve Charge Pipe for N54 535i 3.0TT - this is from Etektuning and is made specifically for the 5 series e60 n54

      1 slow E60 _ I just installed mine (VRSF) like 5 minutes ago. If you’re running a BOV you should be fine as that’s what I did. Very tight squeeze though

    Hey man I love the content and N54 info! I do have a serious question though. Please don’t read this critically. I understand ARM is a budget friendly option and price cannot be ignored as not many are billionaires. However arm, as a brand, doesn’t compare favorably in execution or performance when compared to brands like VRSF, PSP, VTT, etc. charge pipe is less important as it’s a metal pipe and as long as it fits well isn’t a problem. FMIC for you can definitely be improved depending on what your plans are. Inlets/outlets and E85 can tax that FMIC. What my question is to you is, do you believe the cost savings are substantial enough to justify inferior quality and performance when compared to the proven brands? Again not being critical, just seen a lot of poor information about arm vs the other brands.

      Car Authority The FMIC did great on my after testing on lowering my IAT’s, so checked off there. A lot of these intercooler cores are all from around the same group of 3rd party companies. Now, continuing to raise the bar with the power, then I’m sure I’ll see limitations, sure and I’ll need to upgrade. But it’s worked great thus far. I will be limiting engine mods on this car as I’ve been working to find an N55 car for the channel to go pretty heavy on the mods with still keeping the N54.

    • @nateonfireball
      @nateonfireball Před 5 lety

      Yeah I guess a lot of what I’m reading on the FMIC market is buying one for the life of the car. Personally having a 5 series with upgraded turbos, I bought a vrsf 7” HD and I need a 7.5 race FMIC now. The one I have now is fine for stock turbos but not for 25 psi. I understand what they’re saying and I now understand what you’re saying too. If you don’t plan on going upgraded turbos then it’s not necessary. You’re also in Ohio? I’m in houston where it’s hot af so the car really doesn’t like that either lol!
      Out of curiosity what’s your thinking behind modding the N55 more than the N54? It was my understanding that not only does the N54 respond better to modifications but that it’s more robust as well for higher boost applications. What’s your thinking? Awesome talking to you btw man! If you’re ever down here in houston let me know! You’re welcome to drive my car to see what you think!
