Yes! Bring on the N54 content! I vote for keeping it simple. Pistons/rods with a stock headgasket and studs, see what it will hold. Really doesn't matter what you decide to do just bring back the n54 videos! 😄
thanks man
haha, fair enough!
@@ZeroTo60Tube n54 has so many issues. Why don't you switch to n55?
Because b58>n54>n55 for making power
😂 n55 was a comprise at best. But for the gear heads and people that love tinkering with cars n54 ftmfw! Plus the e chassis is just sexy. If you're going for power it's b58 or n54. But the b58 has the garbage electronic steering. @@omarmoran3097
N54 OEM+ reliable road course track build. Everyone is dead set on making these cars straight line roll racers, instead of embracing what these cars were made to do, well balanced corner carving.
This is refreshing!
Dct (variety coz why not, although I'm an 8hp fan) ✅️
Stock bolts ✅️
Single turbo-e85 ✅️
Chasing 4s 100 200 ✅️
Good old zeroto60 content
I like it man! The 4s 100-200, thats a sweet goal for this car. I want to keep it full street trim and nice to drive so 1/4 times are never going to be that good. But we'll see.
This car is the reason i started following this channel. I’m stoked to see it revived!!! Amazing!
I vote for attempting a reliable 700whp build without going overboard - so standard head bolts/gasket, rods & piston UG, keep the DCT, ask Austin very nicely for the Nexsys DI delete and run it all of a stock ECU. I'm not sure anyone has really yet established the baseline needed for reliable 7xxwhp (i.e. before you get into closed deck/sleeves power)
Interior wise: back seat delete, DIY alcantatra headlining and ABC pillars, some F82 or G82 buckets, and of course a custom audio system (with front sub to keep the weight down / in the right place).
Headlights: Full rebuild with pixel halos and switchbacks, and blacked out housings.
Closed deck is easy with a Concrete Fill!
@@patrickklos9704how easy? With No deck plates No machining?
@@needmoreboost6369 No Machining and no deck plates.
@@patrickklos9704sure that works for a quarter mile pass then you have to let it cool. Good luck street driving in Australia with a filled block 😂. We fill blocks in the Cummins world but it's a solid iron block and head. Plenty of room for massive oil coolers. Still be cool to see, then put some compounds on and let er eat! S257 with an 475 couple of 44mm gates. Ohhh I'm dreaming again 😂
Woo hoo, you’re back with N54 content. This means my gets faster too.
I would love to see the diff modification thing done and have your opinion of it. I see the latest version of it doesn’t require you to machine anything to fit it, so long as you have a bolted crown gear
Thanks man!
I forgot about the whole bolted crown hear. Ahhh I bet my current dct diff is bolted. Hmmm time for some research.
What’s your current setup?
@@ZeroTo60Tube I have the 2008 335i E92 auto with stock rear end. I don’t know if I have a welded or bolted differential as the info I found didn’t give me confidence. I thought about having a look with an endoscope, maybe it can be seen without disassembly. I need to do something about getting the N54 power engaged with the road
😢🥺the car that made me get a n54 please bring it back to its former glory😁
I see that you are not abandoning this 335i, which deserves to come back to life and which will continue to fuel the passion ;-) well done ANDREW. Team N54💪🤘
Great job zeroto60. It would be awesome if you do a price point rebuild. With the cost of piezo injectors and HPFP a DI delete would be good. Also a m57 6hp28 is the most cost effective trans upgrade, so it would be cool if you did one of those. Arashi ball bearing TT’s. SLG 8.8 diff as the choice/cost of centre and ratio is awesome. An xtrons install for gps and full car play. Poly subframe bush’s and engine/trans mounts. Tail shaft centre bearing upgrade. Also do a full run down on which suspension up grade is best, coilovers or h&r springs with Bilstein B14 shocks. M3 control arms and even swaping are bushings to spherical. Thanks for not forgetting about us N54 tragic’a and I can’t wait to see your build take shape.
My opinion
-upgrade rods and pistons
-stock head gasket
-arp head studs
-old single set up
-all the fueling
-8hp (it’s going to happen just get it done and focus on something else)
-dickase front brakes
-15 inch rear brake conv.
-8.8 inch rear end
-Apple car play/ android auto upgraded idrive
-m4 seats
-m3 style or custom Custer
-e92 m3 full suspension (if you can manage with the time limit)
And you have the perfect e92 n54
I like this list!
@@ZeroTo60Tube it’s calling your name only thing to do now is to do it lol
@@ZeroTo60Tube if this list is used can I get a lil shout out on a vid? Lol just by name no crazy promo
Personally I want to see this turn into ultimate 0-60 beast. I want race seats all stripped forged engine, dct and retain twin turbos! I want to see this on track doing time attack and roll racing. That’s me personally 😂
N54 CONTENTTT!! YESSSSSS, the legend returns
So happy to hear its back! i got my e92 seized in 2023 aswel fought hard for it back, got it back about a month ago and i had hopes you would get it back aswel! the legendary e92s never get rid of it revive that beauty.
Man, what a year! Glad yours is back. What sort of build is yours?
@@ZeroTo60Tube fbo stock turbo mhd ots tune with plenty of tasteful exterior/interior mods aswell cant wait to see what you do with yours!
YES! Your channel and your E92 played a huge part in me getting an E92 N54, after binge watching all your N54 vids in lockdown, had ny car a bit over a year now and have been ticking off the mods, absolutely love it. So stoked your E92 will live again, can't wait for this content. Rods/Pistons and factory head bolts and send it, how about an M3 diff and axles?
I’ve been waiting for a long time for n54 stuff to be back ❤
You and me both!
Good to see the return of N54 content. I cant wait to see this. Not just an N54 build, but the car as a whole. I kind of want to see you go nuts with the N54 and go with head studs, closed deck inserts, head work, ect, but I know most people wont ever go down that road. Honestly, push the power as high as you can while doing it the way your average person would do it. Build out the suspension, poly bushings, coil overs, the whole 9 yards... or what ever that is meters. I think it would be a cool build to see. Either way, cant wait to see what you end up with. Its going to be good.
I feel you on the short time frame. I'm in the same boat, due to recent events I had to step up my E60 535i build and I have until June to get it car show ready. Kinda scared.... The money I've spent already is absurd and its not even close to done.
Resin fill the block, stock crank, head bolts, and OEM head gasket..... Let's send this thing to the Moon
E90 front end swap just to be different, racing diffs cheap diff insert, put in the same head unit as the Evo, the M3 gauge cluster... Maybe even some Maxpeedingrods coilovers since we're going cheap...lol
Closed deck... Sleep happy!
Would be interested to see time serts with any head bolts and an epoxy closed deck solution with oem or athena cut ring gasket! Would also be interested to see some port only solutions! Lastly a ford 8.8 with your own mounts and drive shaft solution would be cool to see since the kits are so expensive.
Good to see the OG back on.very cool. I would be extremely interested in the Resin idea, might help with phantom knock I would suppose but other than that I'm not sure, just thought it would be a cool idea. Paint wise, you always got me brother.
Andrew great to see you speaking N54 again!
If u have time the Nexsys DI delete or maxecu Ecu and DI delete.
Built bullet proof 800hp motor.
8.8 ford diff and upgraded axles
Dickass brakes
Coilovers with front camber plate, upgraded sway bars and end links, front m3 control arms.
Roll fenders to get widest tires.
OEM+ interior.
Red interior with front combo comfort/race seat. Rear seat delete. Fire extinguisher. Check out thickwhip.
Clean leather steering wheel without all the crazy cutout.
Atoto like in ur evo or similar for the dual bluetooth.
MHD/xhp
Nexsys oil pressure sensor
I like this list!
There are a lot of great posts. I like a car that is back road/canyon carver but can fun light to light.
Cannot wait to see the direction you go.
I’m going to be getting a E93 328i for my next build…LS swap!
My current E90 335i is most likely stay 19T’s and 8HP45. Last thangs I want is LSD and DI delete. Ken with Wedge seems excited about the Nexsys kit when they release it!
Awesome letssss gooo !!! #teamN54
My dream build for my car is 8.8 rear end, 8hp, direct injection delete(maybe), closed deck, sleeved, single turbo, full internals. Maybe try to go for the n54 hp record. I’ve gotten to follow in your footsteps on most of my previous stuff with minor changes along the way. So feel free to use any of those ideas 😂
I would love to see An N54 in a E9X M3 shell. Have the factory widebody of the M3 with the N54 is every 335i dream.
Yes do the headliner and clean the drains for the sun roof why u get water entry in to the cabin would like to see this builds future
N54 content. Hell ya!
Yes!!! Back to the best content, looking forward to what you do with it.
NBT nav would be interesting. Bilstein dampers (B12 or B16). For trans, just put new clutches in and try out the M3 GTS software as it really clamps down hard at takeoff, but make sure you get an engine tuner that understands torque reporting so you don't smoke them again. Also I'd vote for a proper ATB diff over the lunchbox things.
Closed deck for sure... Scan the top of the block, machine the perimeter of the cooling openings slightly larger, and have a press-fit CNC machinened insert made for it. Copper gasket, upgraded head bolts, forged rods and pistons and have fun..... And FF sake, port the head😊
Honestly man this will be awesome to see if its gonna be your race car just take out all seats and put two bucket seats in and delete rear seats and make it look clean. also those pistons and rods would be great i'd love to see you do valve train system as well and maybe tune for higher rpm revs while your in there, port and polish original head bolts and gasket unless you know of some better equipment that wont give out on you, the engine is out of the car i'd get it done so you don't need to pull it or have to do any work after its back in. the build process would be amazing to see man and i'd love to see you back in your garage building again i know you do quality work.
thanks man!
Do a rear seat delete, half cage, recaro alcantara bucket seats, new steering wheel, forged rods and pistons, closed deck block, JMC Big single, Upgrade the cooling, LSD, possibly some bayoptiks headlights and fix up the headliner and room and that’d be a dream build
Can I help break this one as well. Keen to see this happen! Big turb, E85, 800hp lets go!
Glad to see you back. Team N54!
I’d love to see that thing run the DI delete kit with mhd. Seems like a game changer. I think some big blue dicase brakes would look awesome with the m3 wheels!
Here is an idea: make an proper daily/tracktday tool which can beat the F80 M3 competition in drag and circuit race. As an owner of n54 e90 i would not sale it unless i can afford F80 M3 with it. There are bunch of videos of maintanance and builds but your videos are better because you explain it and tell the issues which you run into. We need your videos of building a daily car which is reliable and hold itself to a modern sportscar.
YESSS FRESH E92 BUILD!! Cannot fkn wait
Edit: I think considering you have a clean start, you should restart the “budget build” series from scratch. Building it like a shop would be so sick to see, but building it realistically like someone saving and buying parts would, would be more relatable - showing us what we could potentially do with our builds. All the best man ✌🏽
I’d love to see port injection with standalone ecu either haltech or maxxecu as that’s what I’m trying to get done in my e91 this year. So good to have n54 content back, was what brought me here many years ago 👌🏽
Ultimately, i think thats the end game. Maxxecu stand alone, but i think im gonna run it with MSD81 for now.
Can wait to see more content on the n54 platform 💯
Yes! It's back! Good times ahead
Maxxecu for sure. I want to see how it goes with the dct control
Keep up N54 content please keep it simple brother 🫡
N54 , S55 pistons and rods, Stock head bolts, upgrades headgasket, OEM+ suspension, good shocks with springs. Diff Lock springs( DIY guys will appreciate) l, Blue Dickass Brakes lol 😂 G-Series M Seats if possible. In my opinion I think that'll be the best build. And probably the most cost-effective. Love the videos, sadly sold my E92 335i in America to buy a home😢 but will be back with something better 😊 Keep it up. Will always support ❤️
Firstly, it is sad to see your black E92 in such a state as is it now. Hopefully, a cut and polish will restore the paint back to the way it was previously. From the state of your hood lining and rear seats, it appears that water leak you had previously is still there in the roof. Apart from getting a replacement for the rear seats, I don't know what else you could do. For the front seats, a set of M4 seats would look good. For the rear end, I would recommend a M3 diff and axles or 8.8 Ford diff with DSS axles. Both are costly but with 700+hp , in the long run, they are cheaper than replacing standard diffs and axles. A built engine is a must for longevity with 700+hp on tap. As you are well aware, the 8 spd will be far better all round compared with the DCT. I would go 8 spd straight up and sell the DCT. I can't wait to see the series of videos that you will produce with this project. I am sure Andrew that you will restore/rebuild your car back better than it previously was.
I still do a at home head stud upgrade and am getting good results I'd like to see some more of that or a arp stud option for all the head sealing..
Ohhhh man im pumped for this!!!
Wow this its great ... i dont even have an n54 anymore and this its exciting. You helped me with my dct swap on my old e90
Great to hear!
Do the resin fill !!!!
That’s sad but exciting at the same time. Definitely go with a good diff. If you have DCT go with the m3 cluster so you can code in the shift lights retro in NBT eco and some nice F80 seats to bring it into the future. I would go head studs from arp and some good bearings also. But it’s your build so do what makes you happy and we will all support you. Great stuff mate
Thanks man! I would love a DCT shift light setup.
I wanna see a fully closed deck build to make 850whp comfortably! Also, OS geiken diff. Widebody kit a must.
im doing kingtec set up too. oem rings though on closed deck. and doc race kit. arp all 11mm headbolts. m3 rear end lsd. f80 breaks,
Yes yes yes! So good to see the n54 back mate!
My vote is the 700hp number so stock internals dct a good lsd diff, quality twins
A N54 single turbo / DCT with upgraded flywheel and clutches. I would love to see what you’re talking about with that cheap LSD, and I am getting ready to build my n54 in my 335is This is exactly what I need to see
Depends on the purpose of the car and how much daily you want to retain. Far as the interior: Rear seat delete, carbon block off panel, alcantara headliner, pillars, and contrasting storage deck where seats used to be with tiedowns for helmet storage or whatever. Could even sacrifice some of the former rear occupant elbow room on each side and put in twin subs... there is a ton of space in there IF you're willing to pop out that second cover thing behind the 'door' cards. I've got an android head unit with physical buttons and still like that a LOT but have been working on all the wiring for a digital rearview mirror this weekend... that should be in on Tuesday and look pretty clean. Also it's still a mirror if it fails, which is good.
Far as diff. stuff, I'd love to see you try a cheap kit since I'm cheap and your experience making your own upgraded LPFPs helped me go and do mine in a similar way. I would look into adding some of those foam cubes to the fuel tank lobes that reduce slosh. The retail kits are too damn pricey but if I can figure out exactly what kind of foam it is, chemically... then should be easier to buy wholesale and just cut the bastard up! Got off topic. The other diff option with DCT I've wanted to try for ages to make use of that DCT's shift speed and extra ratio is putting an M3 rear end on it, which would make the gearing shorter. I calculated a table back in the day for that and could go find it if you'd like. I think the car would be more fun to drive especially with a single turbo format because you'd get to use all the rev range, and possibly even add an extra 500-800rpms depending on internals/valvetrain.
I know projects aren't completed as quickly as youtube videos make it seem but you can do it. -- Cheers!
How's your bro these days by the way?
Dude all great ideas. Not gonna lie, your channel is killing with the S63 build. So much want. Dave is doing good. Currently building his own house.
I like the idea of using the stock head bolts. You could go full race or street car. If it was me I'd go street car. Use it for the test mule. Updated seats, steering wheel. Good ideas. How will the cheap lsd thing hold up to the power? For the price I say let's find out. I'd go stock dme untill this is the bottleneck. It doesn't seem to be. Gonna be lots of good vids! Your brother still have the e39 m5 and 540? A seat upgrade on the e39 would be sweet!
Looking forward to the build. DCT for sure! This is going to be awesome.
You and me both!
Please try the racingdiff i’m considering that spring based lsd setup on my 335i
I want to see a come back of the old polo tee shirts 😂 good to have you back!
hahahaha, that made me laugh.... you must be an OG
My experience is that the DCT copes pretty well with slip on launch, especially the thick OEM clutches :) Upgraded clutches are thinner and the metals warp easier with heat because of that. Whats really hard on the clutches is slipping under high power, like if it slips at high RPM and full load for more than a second or two. What can also cause clutch slip is inaccurate torque signals and/or adaptations. I can show what values to look at regarding adaptations in INPA if you want :)
These are my experiences at least, I did over 200 slip-launches in my E30 4wd DCT with no issues, good grip but also shorter diff ratio and lighter weight than E92 so that my affect it too maybe.
You are the DCT GOAT! Did you have stock clutches in your s55 1 series? Would love the info on the adaptions pls
Definitely kept the dct, would love to see how much power it can take, cause I just picked up a dct 135 😆.
N53 cylinder head on the n54! Increased flow on all and they cheap to! Not sure on how much machine work is involved!
your back to the roots, havnt even watched the video yet - but hell yeah
Hell yea! SOOO happy to see you back at it with this car man. JMC with the DCT will be mean. It would be cool to see the F10 M5 wheel go on this that fits e90's. Just did a full alcantara headlining and all the A, B and C pillars in my E90 and I love the aesthetic, so I recommend that. I vote blue for the brakes and the spoiler looks good, just a little spicy but not too distracting. I would love to see an upgraded rods and pistons build on oem head gasket and head bolts. That's what is feasible for most people to do and seems the most relevant. On the dif side of things, if you have an early model build with the bolted dif you could get one of the mfactory bolt in LSD's that are legit but DIY style and cost way less than a pumpkin. Personally I would stay on stock DME and run reflex and MHD.
No matter what you choose to do and how the build ends up, I'm certain it will turn out amazing and I am along for the ride🤤🤤🤤
Have you got any tips on the Alcantara job? Im gonna give it a crack, i can get some on ebay this week.
I have already done the NBT retrofit, but am thinking about the evo upgrade. From a personal point of view, I would love to see if it’s worth it the extra work!
n54 videos pleaseeeeeeeeee
Stock motor // hybrid turbos , simple build and see what you can do dragy numbers, 1/4 mile, roll races etc
Hyped to see what you do with it, I got arrested in 2022 on similar charges and i'm finally resurrecting my e90. Hope to draw some inspiration from your journey. I recommend building headlights yourself instead of going ebay or with something else of less quality.
Yes sir so happy to see that car and King single all the way and 8spd🎉
These are exactly the videos I love from your channel
Does Dave still have the m5 and do you still have the other v10 one
Starlight headliner 😂 genuinely though excited for what’s about to happen with the e92. You’ve got this.
Hey Andrew, keen for some more updates on the mech build of this car
For brakes, try the f series brakes conversion
Woohoo! This is what I subscribed for! Miss this E92! Definitely go with stock head gasket because everyone seems to think that they're so good, and play around with head bolts if possible so that we can once and for all decide what setup will hold power the most reliably.
Great point!
I really want to se you guys put in some CTS turbos and see what they’re like. Very cheap and I’ve seen a lot of people installing and enjoying the power, but no reliability/ review for the long term almost anywhere online. Really want to know. Hope you guys are doing good down under ✌🏽
Interior stripout if it unbolts throw it away, 8HP70, 8 1/2" diff. Maxx ECU Pro, Pistons and rods sleeved block (Leave it open deck) I liked the idea of mazda head bolts(maybe not toqued as high), Head port on exhaust and +1mm exhaust valves. Now Pistons can lower compression but if you have E85 at the pump stay high compression and E85 dedicated, Plazmaman intake manifold, DI delete
I would go Nardo grey wrap with carbon lip kit all around. Nice F80 M seats. You mentioned you need someone to tune it that understands. Isn't Dan your tuner. Good luck.
Hey Andrew. About the diff lock sets. I know a n54 guy in the US. He mounted the set on his 600WHp e90. He blew the set quickly and decided to go for an(expensive) M3 diff. He had also gotten rid of the 6-speed auto( burned the clutches) and mounted a 6-speed manual shift. But because he was very interested in the F-series B48 Turbo platform, he sold the car last year (after many years) and now drives a build 500Hp 330I. He made me n54 addicted. Have a good one.
Btw I heard the Victor Reinz head gaskets are the same quality as the BMW OEM ones. Dutch regards Nico.
Probably all the same, I just finished replacing the oil pan gasket and turbos on my xdrive e90 and bought a mahle gasket and surprise it said victor rinze on the gasket lol. Looked identical to the stock gasket minus the old crusty rubber. I don't think it really matters, the machining is the important part, unfortunately nothing comes close to the factory machining.
Half cage . Single turbo . Proper lsd . Full e85 . Weekend track car . F80 seats . Please and thank you xo
Digital Gauge cluster closed deck 12mm head studs with MaxxEcu, PDM install and how to tune with maxxecu for the n54 or stroker kit 3.4L with 100mm stroke with 86mm bore and send it to the moon 🌙 and let's hear the n54 at 10,000rpm already
There is much beliefs on coils and their impact. Would be cool to see if one could find where stock or Delphi coils comes bottleneck without adjusting spark-plug gap and then see if b58 coils add any benefit to the game
God bless finally monster 👻 come back love to see
Supertech oversized valves intake and exhaust
Cometic head gasket
Stock head bolts
RB turbos
Bms intake with port injection controller by reflex
8hp70
Tuned by Chris Kontos @ Motiv USA
Awesome! I think a reliable 700hp engine, quaif / wavetrac diff, standard ECU. F80 seats, steering wheel if compatible. Android unit with 360 degree camera etc. really looking forward to the build series👍🏻🇦🇺
I like it. Well apart from the price of those diffs... haha.
Throw the kitchen sink at the engine and make everything it can 😉 interior should be Alcantara headlining, f80 m3 seats 100% keen to see this thing rip 🙂
Definitely put a maxx in it. about racing diffs "inserts" dont bother. they can work in wet/gravel but a few burnies and the clutches will be gone. if you whant to go cheap just weld a stock one!
Hey super duper ambitious but have you seen the 335d with tri turbo setups?
They replace the dpf with a big turbo that compound the smaller twins, does this sound like a crazy experiment you may want to attempt?
If anyones its you to have the first tri turbo n54 on CZcams
Well it’s a special setup on the 335d. It can bypass the 2 small ones, so they are not a limitation. So not all gas neeeds to go through the small twins. Compound setups are wild, probably a bit too wild for me.
Bypass direct injection this time. Injectors aren't cheaper or readily available anymore. Ken will tell you about the Spoolstreet DCT flash for GTS which seems better than xhp.
Wouldn't bother NBT
Go for m4 seats
Test that racing diff for the rest of us haha, cheers mate
I think you should show everyone how to DI delete the n54 and run port injection with nexsys set up.
NBT EVO! Doing it on my e90 with some sauce ;)
plEASE REDYE THE LEATHER (brown & beige) WITH AN AIRBRUSH ! its so much easier than the sponge method everyone uses and wrap the dash in the same colour leather it'll look crazy! ive wrapped my dash in micro suede which was a way easier job than leather , a year ago and its holding up good - im just concerned for you with the Australian heat and no front windshield tint and parking outside ive heard of peoples microsuede colour fading they may have just used a cheap quality one since theres some drop top corvettes that come in all alcantara and they hold up fine. very proud to see you back at it love from canada!
How is your suede dash holding up? Got an instagram?
Keen as! I just wanna see a big single. Get it ripping and bring it to Sydney roll racing. 🤙🤙🤙
You guys are next level down there!
OEM+ thicwhips’ 1M style!
Manualize the DCT?
If you want to do hilarious skids I have a 3.85 M3 diff laying around
I think the key issues with boosted engines is the first two rings on the Pistons. Most people Gap them too short. Boosted annuals will produce a lot of heat in the Piston area and if the ends of the rings hit together you're going to have failure. Another thing most don't do is they need to cut in a hoop. Yeah a hoop. Basically it's a seal between the head and the block to contain the pressure of the boost. These are heavily used in ProMod cars
n54 pistons are cast, only the rods are forged. they dont come ringed for e85 and usually thats why piston issues come. meth/e85 washing.
I think the NBT Evo retrofit would be a cool video series to watch! 👍
Ultimately i think NBT evo is the best option. I have seen retrofit where they even update the images to show a e9x car, so it looks full legit.
for the diff try the seems legit garage setup? unless its to costly
I got a racingdiff LSD insert that was sponsored by them, it was the new one they came out with new material, supposedly its for "bigger hp cars" , its been holding up for over a year now and gives me full lock with about 550-600whp, loving it man!
Interesting, i have heard a lot of horror stories now.... in the comments section actually. However ill check out this new version. Would you do it if you had to pay for it?
@@ZeroTo60Tube Definitely, there is another LSD that a friend on mine bought also from ebay that came from the UK? I think it costs like 900AUD all up. Looks like a quaife could also be another option for you! But yeah even if i did have to pay for it i would probably give it a shot since its pretty cheap, as long as you install it correctly its pretty good. Over the years one thing ive definitely learnt is every time i hear "If you didnt wanna pay big $$$ dont buy an n54" i roll my eyes, Your channel, plus others overseas and in forums have shown theres more than one way to skin the cat haha. I think some people are just way too much of a purist to admit when something works while also factoring in that anyone can have problems with something, take the viv 17t's im sure theres 1000's of people with no issues, but also hundreds who had issues. Sometimes its just unlucky
Ever thought of doing some upgraded valves and valve springs and maybe some high lift cams?
Yes, i dont think i will in this motor. But there is a reason i have so many cores right now :P
NBT evo upgrade sound like a great OEM upgrade
Awsom have been waiting for this stock block stock head stock Head gasket dct 7 speed stronger diff centre
Dick arse brakes recovered repair steering wheel intercooler upgrade budget build body looks awsom buff it
Really looking forward to this build yes I own one to .
Would like to see a drag car and see some content on getting the car into the single digits in the 1/4 mile drag strip
Ok first off, that JMC kit at 30 psi with the turbo you had on it is over 800 wheel allll day! Jake Spence made 750 wheel on 26 or 28psi with a Gen 1 6266 Precision. If I was you, I’d put rods, pistons & and pinned crank hub, put it back together with ARP studs, you don’t have to go over size! Run it with the motiv reflex you have, port injection Phoenix kit, stage 3 pump & you’ll have a nice 700-800 wheel car! Put a stick in it with a twin disc. Get a mint used steering wheel or have that one recovered. Rear seat delete, like a carbon fiber Nelson racing wheel one? Or get a used mint interior, they’re all over the place. Best way to go about the diff is get a used E92 M3 diff & bolt that in with the M3 axles. This isn’t rocket science & plenty of guys out there with 600-700 wheel reliable cars on stock engines or had stock engines for a long time of beating them! I’ll have my turbo in, in a few months. I’m running a Doc Race top mount with a GTX3582R. It would be great to see you put it back together brother & we can all help you source the shit you need….🤷🏻♂️💪🏻
