“I’m good at pulling things off, like myself” 😂😂😂
We gotta get by at times.... hahah
I run 30 psi on delphi coils 760 whp with 1625cc meth , a client of mine runs 33 on nitrous makes 850 whp with 2kcc meth, stock style coils,zero issues. I find that with the right gap and fueling(enough octane and hpfp not crashing), ure good. If you have an injector seal leak it'll misfire too. The coil choices are interesting, just can't justify them unless I'm fixing an issue...
Pretty much. Although I might not run that much boost on the Bosch coils.
"You can only go out for food or exercise... just food then" 🤣🤣😂😂 brilliant...
Congrats on the 25,000 subscribers 👏 well earned
Thank you! 😃
Hey Andrew, I remember when I upgraded my coils on my n54 at the time. I think they where benchmark coils, I bought them with the connectors and about 10cm of wire. I used crimp connectors similar to the crimps telephone company’s use with gel inside. Fitted them into the factory plastic connection/ wiring cover the original wiring goes into.
Howdy gentlemen good to see you back in the swing of things! I don't know if it will help.... but I'll have spare set of the PR harness soon if you want to rip it apart to see if anything will help your install?
Have you the correct crimping tool for the pins sounds daft but there are loads and a ratchet crimp tool is a must in my eyes.
Great video
Yoooo congrats on 25k subscribers 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
To be honest, you guys should have WAY more than 25k subs :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much dude, really appreciate that.
Great video. E93 manual n54 here from the US And A !! Niiiiice
Thanks! 👍
you dont want to be soldering wires in a application like that. you might find that the terminals for the b58 coils come in a different gauge wire size.
Have you seen the Nexsys B58 coil to N54 conversion kit? I think it's plug n play
Ive got the bimmerlife r8 coils - i had to modify them a bit to push them home
I run PR coils on mine and are faultless to be honest, vehicular diy on here made a diy for the Audi R8 coils, he made all the harness himself n didn’t look to bad!
The one issues with the PR coils is all the extra wiring and making it all tidy again, I like everything to look neat n clean on my car so took me ages routing everything so it fit perfect! You could just get some different gauge pins for the connectors so they crimp on the wire correctly, are you sure your crimping them on correctly, as should be crimped to the outer covering as-well as the wire, takes a little practice to get them right n solidly onto the wire so they don’t fly off, I redone all my Landrover defender wiring n trying to get them on properly is a chore haha
Is that a custom bracket for every injector? Am I seeing that right?
What about making a tail that fits the harness on the one end and to the coil on the other end that about 50 to 100mm long, if it’s possible.
Hmmmmm
I am running the R8 for abort 2 years or more with no issues.
Interested in the brake bleed. I see that with the F30 you can do the entire bleed using INPA alone cycling the ABS pump, no special pressure bleeder. Can the same be done with the E90?
Yeah did it on my e92 no issues
I’m planning on doing the nexys system but like you said I’m in the US I wish you didn’t have the crazy shipping charges
100% but it's no ones fault.
What tool are you using to crimp them? Could you get the same terminals for thicker wire?
Its a semi expensive crimp tool. But you are on to something. The terminals are made for thinner wire. So maybe if there was something made thicker wire with the same end to go in the connector we would be on to a winner.
Just read up on the b58 coil conversion on E90Post. I don’t see a problem with crimping and soldering to make it work. It did for the guy who’s making retrofit kits (of which I assume is who you possibly got yours from?).
Have you got a link? This comes from a Qld based guy. The crimping may or may not have been my idea 😂
Congrats on 25k!
Thank you!!
I would love to see a g800 from Ghassan! But keep that n54 videos coming! I'll be waiting with my favorite chips from CA 😀
So would we hehe
I had a misfire due to a broken injector bracket. Luckily I caught it before it ovaled the head.
R8 coil user here without any issues, cheap and it does the job.
Those Coils are trash in comparison and don't truly fit.
Instant Like without reaching 1min in the vid🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Lockd in 1am 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thank you sir!
a bit off-topic here , but I noticed you got rid of the 666m replica wheels, thanks to you I've been obsessing over getting them :).what size were they, and any reason why u ditched them?
I picked up a set of genuine 437m. The 666ms have gone to a mate of mine, actually had his car in today. They are 19x9 and 19x8. From memory they were atcually offset for a F30 but say really nice on the e92.
I don’t think the conductivity of the wiring will get altered if you solder the connector. I’ve soldered the Delphi connector to run the precision coils with no issues related to the soldering job. The crimp connectors you got have a standard, I haven’t had the chance to check a b58 coil but surely you can find the same connector to crimp on a thicker gauge wire, seems like the n54 is 18/20awg I have a precision ignition kit and I refuse to use an adapter wire for the same reasons you mentioned. Also have you wondered what’s the function of that 0.5 farad capacitor right on the middle of the ignition wiring?? Well this electronic components are sensitive to the heat and they fail overtime, capacitors are basically a battery. I’m going to test a few that i have around to compare their values but I’m positive this will have an impact on the constant cyl6 misfire that i get at high rpm. Keep us updated your approach on this matter is very informative
Very interesting to touch on the capacitors. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
@@ZeroTo60Tube You’re welcome, I’ve been passionate about the n54 since i got my e92 5 years ago, so much that I started working on bimmers full time 3 years ago. I really like your channel I think your approach and description of the work you put into the cars is more technical than any other youtuber, and you do it with the intention of helping the platform instead of selling your channel. Let’s keep in touch and try to figure out this ignition out mate 🤙
I’d be going out for groceries every few hours!!
We need a solution to index 12 injectors as currently the only option seems to be fcp euro at $2500 aud. Anyone got any ideas?
I hear ya!
@J B cheers mate, they used to sell for $780 before Bmw told VDO there weren’t allowed to sell the unbranded version
Why though when S55 guys are making north of 1200WHP on stock pencil coils? IIRC the 1000WHP N54 Billiam owns is on stock style coils as well.
Maybe they would be making more with better coils. Leaving the BMW platform for a second you realise the stock pencil coils are no good. These instantly made my cold starts better, that alone makes them worth it.
Just wondering what crimpers are you using?
I have tried a few different ones now. However at the time i think this was genuine BMW tool
Use the correct crimpers and the pins will never be loose
The correct ones fold the terminal into a b shape if you what i mean, i also solder the wire ends before crimping
Where I live (and from what I gather most of eastern Europe) Eldors are freaking expensive, i.e. $100~$120 a piece! NGKs with the same part # are 1/4 of the price and B58 coils are 1/2 the price of the Eldors... So a kit for B58 coils is a viable solution around here.
I run NGK coils with hybrid turbos at 20 psi, they’re fine. It’s way more important to make sure you’ve got the right plugs and gaps set.
That's a bummer. But I don't see a problem soldering the wires. Solder, with a minimum of lead, has a melting point above 300 degrees Celcius. So what can go wrong? Dutch regards, Nico.
Benchmark coils apparently good for 800whp. Got some one the way
Benchmark?
@@ZeroTo60Tube it wont let me send the link i sent it to dave
One option you have is to cut the standard loom in a spot where the all the wires are in one spot and install a Deutsch DT connector, then you can change the wire on the other side to the right size for the B58 plugs.
You might need some Mil spec wire as well depending on the current draw from the coils
Not exactly plug and play though if your planning to try to get to a point where you can sell kits.
Oh speaking of which where is oreally
Sitting i storage waiting….
Congrats on 25k. Well done.
First, don't apologise for a lack of videos, you guys have a life as well. Secondly, well two part. Andrew, you're better than me with electronics, but straight away my brain says not to pull strands of wires out of the harness to make the crimp fit, and don't make an adaptor that drops from a bigger wire to a smaller one. The resistance change and heat load could be a problem (unless you're talking low voltages and signal wires). And (for the second part), I wouldn't solder any connection in an engine bay. The heat, along with vibration, may eventually lead to the soldering cracking, and an intermittent electrical fault that is an absolute nightmare to track down. The latest research is completely recommending crimp connections when they are done right.
well, i hope you get it sorted by Rolls ;)
When is rolls? 😳
@@ZeroTo60Tube oh this saturday and the 28th :)
