The Only Time Installing A Massive "Overkill" Intercooler On A BMW 335i Makes Sense.
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 08. 2024
- One of the most common questions I see floating around the BMW community is if big intercoolers are overkills on FBO (Full bolt ons) cars. Some think you will get slower turbo spool, less responsiveness and overall a slower car. I've had my fair share of experience with my e93 335i by running a VRSF 7.5" Race Front Mount Intercooler and Honestly never felt like the car was negatively affected. Today I have the guys at Precision Sport Industries install a intercooler onto my BMW E90 335i and have them answer the question many have been curious about.

I’m always surprised you haven’t had a collaboration with AdamLZ
It's complicated.
@@VehicleVirals dangg, I’ve been wondering too! You guys can go build for build! That’s would be so cool. Great content 🤘🏽 but if it’s complicated. Completely understand. Love the N54 and your content on it :) going to build one soon:)
The content they make are very diferent! This is basically a BMW channel and his... well you know... And if its "complicated" makes things worse...
AdamLZ is not the right guy for this channel....if you want his content then watch his videos. i‘d rather stay with Christian and Ali
@@Co1ny AGREED i watch adam and from my vibe-o-meter they probably dont mesh
Didn’t know the J pipe didn’t come with the intercooler. Thanks to Ali to pointing out the install direction also. You guys make a good team!
If you're gonna make a video on upgrading your intercooler please show the process of installing it in the car too.
Looking forward to the single turbo vids :)))
Was shattered when you gave away your e93. Thought you wouldn’t be making anymore vids, I have owned a black e93 335i for a few months 190xxx kms (Aussie bimmer enthusiast). So the fact you bought a high mile N54 is even better. Love all your Content mate! Literally just took the punt and ordered A 7.5 intercooler cooler, catless dp’s and charge pipe from VRSF a few hours before I saw your new vids! Already done the plugs,coils and OFHG will probably need to do the oil pan as well. Absolute legend mate...Love your work!
Watching this has me reminiscing when I put my 7.5 fmic on my e90
You're like the only BMW channel I watch haha.
Means a lot!
I love the channel guys as well as Swap Depot. (Swap Depot helped me put my "Ducks" in a row by answering a question about the escaping Ducks from his E91 outlet I think. Thank you! Then I shot them LOL!). I had a 335i back in 2014 and I brought it to a tuning shop in my city. They checked if the car had an oil cooler which it did then told me they could put a stage 2 tune on the car. So I said sure and the car made 389 hp and 412 ftlbs. (Crank I would think but they showed me the dyno numbers which was I think adjusted). No changes to the car at all. It was amazing how much torque that stock car had. They didn't put on a different air intake even just a K&N filter in the stock air intake box. Now I have a 335XI and FBO's with 17T turbos which is insane compared to that old car LOL. But if someone wanted to get their stock car tuned and no bolt on's they can go to a tuner and get some pretty serious HP.
Can't wait to see the power the big single makes.
“or just leave it like that” LMFAOOO
I LOVE your ocd & need for Perfection Christian! Like a True Boss 🏆
That front lip has taken some beatings🤣
Stays true to the bimmer culture he knows why people click on his videos 👌🏾
Ali got a fresh cut!(: He’s got fans too funny as hell - don’t be shy Ali 🤣 BMRGURL 🌴☀️
I have a 7" fmic was thinking about getting a stepped one like yours but im only stage 2+ right now with stock turbos.
Also find you an x drive n54 335xi that'll be a way better build then a rwd coupe or sedan. 3 tunes, fbo, breaks into the 3 sec 0-60
wow that intercooler is massive I wasn't expecting that
I dont understand why some people blip the throttle WHILE releasing the clutch in first gear at a full stop. Why people, your just semi disengaging the clutch for a longer period of time as supposed to doing the normal thing and NOT blipping the throttle while disengaging the clutch in first gear. To me, it just tells me that those people dont know the proper way to drive a manual, and those same people probably rest their foots on the clutch pedal while driving
Am I the only one who got excited when you said that you will keep the LM Blue instead of wrapping the car ??😂😂
Same its too clean to be ruined by a wrap lol
Yes!! Great call to keep.
Amazing video. Learning alot from your videos ty. Even thou I'm a e46 m3 guy, love learning about boost on all cars..
AdamLZ is a complicated guy to deal with... stop asking for a collaboration 😂
VV uploads, I like. It’s really simple
whats the problem with going full bolt on with the single turbo?
There’s no problem being fbo as single turbo, but he’s probably saying taking off the fbo bcuz the single turbo kit has no use for the stock intake/inlet system as well as the downpipes which are both major components to being “fbo”. Only parts he can really keep is the Intercooler, exhaust, and chargepipe. Which technically isn’t fbo, but really for a ST N54s it is considered fbo lol. Hope that explains it
@@Karim2clean Yeah thank you :)
ouch! i am ashamed of myself, still got the stocker, but im grabbing fbo kit soon
From my website I hope 👀
@@VehicleVirals most likely
The logic behind a larger intercooler having more lag is sound, but in practice my n54 has almost zero lag, despite having 2" outlets, 900ci intercooler ("1000whp") and 3 inch to the tb *on stock turbos* - consider that the volume of the intercooler is much less than the volume of all of the rest of the chargepiping.
What intercooler are you running?
@@tickandslug PSP900ic (Pinnacle Specialty Performance) - They don't make them anymore but the closest to it currently out there is the VRSF race. IAT's are never an issue even at over 20psi boost for long hard driven canyon runs in 90*+ weather.
civics go from 2.5 to 3 inch from hot to cool side on turbo builds right? to help minimize lag?
once you go single turbo, i wanna see the run against adam lz! e90 single turbo vs e92 single turbo would be sick!
This makes me want an e90 sooooo bad but i love my e46
My man loves his bmw’s
Absolutely!
Who doesn’t 😍
Hey dude! Came across your channel today. I’m in the middle of an N54 project myself and was pretty excited to hear your in Orlando too! I don’t really post my content on CZcams or anything but if I see you around I’d love to chat. Just look out for a black E91 🔥. See you around!
Same race exhaust on my 335 looking to see how your resonator sounds like.
I have a n55 and was thinking of going fbo. If i copped this intercooler and was running about 400hp. Would it be cooling too much for that hp or is this recommended for hp over 500?
I ran it on FBO 335i for a year and was great. It's the better option if you're looking to chase more power later on.
@@VehicleVirals Thanks man!
that le mans blue is so pretty, underrated color
what are all the maintenance parts u ordered like gaskets and what not u were mentioning ?
The real question is what type of sauce do you get at Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A sauce of course!
@@VehicleVirals Ah, good ole CFA sauce, a classic.
@@TOMAHAWK813 cfa sauce is nasty it tastes like spoiled honey mustard
🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@ruskibruski Oh, ok.
Well if you don't want to continue someone else's build, why buy a modified car in the first place?🤔 Love the videos 😍 keep it up 💪
Awesome video!. Thanks
Get a single turbo with a hood exit for the exhuast will look 🔥
No hood exit for me.
Nah no hood exit bimmer guys don’t roll like that
Sheesh 😩👌 cant wait to see the finished product
Hey man can we get the color code because I wana get my e90 painted the same color
I want F10 vids too. You should buy ambient BMW logo m sport door lights for like $10 they look cool
Awesome intercooler
Damn bro I'd love to donate to you. Nice vids.
Appreciate you 🙏🏼
Hi. Do you sell overseas?(Europe). And I have a factory ///M bumper with the radar from the adaptive cruise-control. Is the 5" inter cooler the max? Thanks in advance, Dutch regards, Nico.
Good stuff, bro.
Idk if your being serious but I want that front lip !!! I mean if your gonna get rid of it I’ll use it and I’ll make a video installing it.... lmk ? Love the channel tho!! I got a 08 N54 sedan too... if you have any parts your not wanting from this blue demon you got , I’ll take them! I got 4 kids so can’t really afford it rn lol
bro, i have a 135i and i want this intercooler. Im on stage 2+ MHD. should i get the 7.5 ? will i experience lag with the bigger IC and stock turbo ? im also getting the VRSF aluminum outlets and inlets too
You won't have an issue with lag. We sell all the parts directly on our website so let us know if you have any other questions.
Ey so those slits on the fender liners are from wheel rub 🤣
nice vid bro
"Dont get ebay, get a quality one like VRSF"
Bro VRSF is an ebay company. Up until the great enshittening of ebay motors they literally sold on ebay, they started on ebay, and for the longest time time they were selling the EXACT same parts as SS Autochrome aside from the VRSF logo stenciled on SOME of the intercoolers, and even then you'd often get them without the logo.
What brakes do u have on it?
I heard the welds are bad on the vrsf tho
Love what you do
I have a question. When doing videos. Please tell me why you don’t show how he putting intercooler hook up on the turbo and charge pipe. You make it seem so easy and it’s not that way. If you going to show the insulation then show the hard part for people no what to do or expect
You don’t film it or you edit it out Please show the hardest part for people That why we look at different videos to see what to do
Thanks
This is not a DIY channel. There are plenty of those out there.
Ok got it I love what you do ok why do you videos. So BMW fan of you can do there car
I’m inn Va I really hope to me you and your tech one day please share with him he does awesome work. Also I watch him so much I squinch my eyes now
lol
Happy New Year to you both
Big fan
You will do a dct swap on it ?
LOVE how you went through the intercooler connecters on 12:55 because I may be having issues with this. I have the ARM 7'' race intercooler with the stock gem connectors, I just got my upgraded twins installed and im now having boost leaks and we believe it may be coming from them connectors because im not clamped properly? any insight?
buy the upgraded pipes and 3.5" clamps.
Why didn’t you go with a Wagner tuning intercooler?
Where is this place in Illinois
I love my e92
That paint will chip off by the time you get home lol I did cts turbo logo in my Audi and it’s all chipped up now lol
Bro! I have a doubt when you change the intercooler you have to make some extra modification to the engine if it is stock ?
You can flash a MHD stage 1+ tune
Waiting for the e30 ...
Any affiliate links for the e60 inter cooler and e60 chargepipe? I’m boutta drop a band with vrsf over burger even tho burger local to me
Yeah, I got you. I sell those, I just haven't put them up on the website yet. Shoot me a message on IG or support@vehiclevirals.com
What’s a good website to buy a nice looking starring wheel for my 2008 535i
Aza Autowheel, they specialise in BMWs
did you have to do any cutting to that front bumper?
Did you watch the video?
I’ll give you 5 rounds of 9mm for the front lip that’s enough to buy a hi point now a days 😂
i want a e90 m sport 6 speed sooo bad brooo
Getting a front mount soon man 😞 definitely pretty ashamed of my self
Don't take that comment seriously! Just joking around :)
Will 600whp on pump gas single turbo 6266 top mount (*stock block*) be reliable becusse I’m thinking of getting one
Nope
bruh they aren’t reliable out the factory 😂😂 you think it’s gonna last with double the horsepower?
@@standyourground9973 I'll make 700WHP reliable on my car watch 😎
You will need methanol or e85 or something mixed with the pump gas if you're running high boost but yes they can be reliable
@@rainbowsparkles4579 yea the one I saw on FB has a meth tank and he was a 570whp but I’m just asking because I was to know if it would be a good first car
For up north thats like no rust at all tbh
CTS makes the same one for less. Good company. VRSF ripped me off so I’ll never buy from them again.
What’s your exhaust set up on the 335i
VRSF Race exhaust and down pipes.
Maybe get a new front bumper that looks more modern? I don’t like how these stock M bumpers look on this car. Not that my opinion matters but it’s something to maybe think about😂
I love how it looks!
Thought the guy was going to get straight into the racing bits, it’s sad tho how he’s taking of the other parts and just putting back the same parts back in. and it seems like for more views shem 👀🌚💀
Patience my friend.
Hello. Very good.👍👍 let’s put some power on it.🔥
I got the 5" thinking i wouldnt pass stage 2 but now i want to go ps3 in a couple years
The bug is real!
love the n54 content im so tempted to buy a manuall 335i n54 here in uk
Really surprised the 335i was still running the stock intercooler lol
Yeap 😅
Best sounding exhaust
You better get a ppf then my boi
Who makes the beats for your videos? Do you lease them, or are they royalty free?
I pay for a subscription.
@@VehicleVirals that’s great to hear I love your content
1:59
Early for once 🤣 cant wait for this build gonna be sick
how'd y'all get my car in the shop lmao exact same spec and wheels as me 8:37
ETS 7” much more efficient…💪🏻💯
Can you do an 128i build soon? NA i6 I want to see how much power you could make before any forced induction
Hi!!!
That front bumper is not oem m sport I’m almost positive
Error
Jess....👊😉
I have 335i 2008 m sport for sale
Do you recommend me to do this intercooler on my stock 335 N55 for future horsepower or I’m over killing it?
Do it
This intercooler looks like same size as F10 N55
335i GANG!
Yo ima have to change that intercooler bro lmaoo Mines the oe one 🤕
I got you with that fast free shipping!
@@VehicleVirals Thank you !
@@VehicleViralslate but I just ordered the 7.5 inch 😎
I need a mod that I don’t already have lol
I got you!
Rip 50/50 weight
Fuck i bought a CSF intercooler an it didn't come with anything but the cooler
That’s some crappy welding.
Jeesss
Not really a fan of those bmws I feel like the e39 is bullet proof along as u maintain that oil and do the timing
They should’ve pressure tested the intercooler first
