tony155 I'm going to start to avoid my 330ci is a 2002 but can I have some help with the ECU how do you did the USB cable so you can connect to the laptop
I HAVE A 2002 BMW 325XI 5 SPEED TURBOED, IM RUNNING INTO MAF RELATED ISSUES. IM ON E85 AND JUST CANT SEEM TO KEEP IT FROM MAXING OUT THE MAF. WHERE DID YOU GET YOURS?
THE WHOLE SETUP RAN LIKE $2800 BUT IM STILL RUNNING INTO PROBLEMS MAXING OUT MY MAF AND WHAT NOT. I HAD IT CUSTOM BUILT 77MM INLET AND A SMALLER REAR HOUSING SO IT SPOOLS UP FASTER
Can't wait to hear the beast start and run! I'm doing the same build currently but with a few more upgrades, and rktunes tune. Glad to see someone did what I was curious and and questions about! And you answered them. I don't know how I feel about the top mount since I still want a catalytic converter and the air pump for emissions purposes. But I hope to see more videos and updates on this!
Hey i just found your M50 to M54 intake manifold adapter/ template kit. THANK YOUUUUU ive been looking for one for months now. Gonna be buying ASAP so i can throw an ebay aluminum intake manifold on my currently NA but eventually to be boosted 323Ci. You’re the MVP dude
@@jordanprice9285 build the rest of the exhaust after the downpipe, oil lines & coolant lines for the turbo a few gaskets etc.. mostly just miscellaneous stuff but other than engine stuff, you will need to at least weld the diff, reinforce the subframe & probably the most important part of everything and expensive is the the tuning if u don't do it yourself
The pcv valve will act as a check valve so you don't need that additonal one inline. Try blowing the wrong way through a pcv and you will see it doesn't allow any flow.
Nice build man , i really like the car and what is under the hood too.I hope you really enjoy when the boost kick in. I wish someday i have that car and build too.Hey make a vids with how the boost kick in please i want to really listen to this beast.
Hey and one more thing, you know that is not a supra and idk somehow for me this pretty big exhaust is not impresive idk man.Great build but i you can or if like the idea of having two medium sized exhausts , it will be pretty cool. But the car is yours, do whatever you want with this beast.
Do you still recommend stock ECU or going with a Link pnp ECU? Unfortunately we have emissions here so im trying to decide whether I want to jump through hoops or not.
That thing still chuggin along? What kinda miles you lookin at lol I’m kinda scared to turbo my daily because I figured I’d have to forge swap everything for me to expect reliability
Hey I absolutely love this build! Thinking of doing something like this in the future, right now I'm doing a 2.5L to 3.0L swap. Just wondering, where did you get that hose for the intake that connects to the MAF? I need some new ones like that.
currently living in Toledo ohio. have my first 330CI with 120k miles on ol girl now. runs great, needs bushings EVERYWHERE and a motor mount to boot on driver side. looking at possibly doing this same thing, but need to get my paint fixed. we do wraps, LED signs etc (Scotty Bs LEDs, and staytunedautoworks) but id much rather dip if i could. how far from Toledo are you? ps sadly i have a ZF auto but we do have SEVERAL manual trans laying around at the shop tho and SEVERAL other parts cars with a jackpot of stuff to boot. but yea how far from Toledo are you?
hell ya! I am glad to see someone else moved the AC dryer to the same place I did as well, I need to hook the lines up still. anychance you have a photo or video showing the lines coming off the compressor?
I would share but I don't have any and its all blocked by the turbo :/. Still need to get it working, something electrical is wonky. Wont turn on via the cluster but if I put power to the compressor directly i get ice cold air.
Could probably do the turbo for 4k all said and done. The supporting mods cost a lot on top, like the differential. I have been developing this system a lot as I go, as there is no good cut and dry kit. I have made a lot of updates, and will post a video with that when its all done come April. Big...wide...things... :)
I always wanted to do But needed obd2 reading for emissions. I was afraid of having a large amount of money into a car that I wouldn’t be able to drive on the road. Do ecu tuning give the option to make the emissions equipment pass readiness.
sick build bro, i got an m54 330i which im boosting aswell, your walkthrough really helped with how to run everything but could you please explain how you did you vacuum hose routing with the catch can and all, that kind got be confused lol. thanks
Its the ECS tuning M5 clutch. I have been upping the boost and the stock organic clutch started to slip though. Recently installed a new built engine and ceramic disk to stop the slipping. Stock E34 disk slips at 18psi and up
What do you think of the ride quality running Koni suspension and especially with the eibach springs? My last E46 M3 was on Koni coilovers, the first time I had used them and to be honest, after KW v3s BILSTEIN clubsport, they are the smoothest and best damped setup I have ever had. I was told by the previous owner that the springs were eibach but I had no proof of it, the dampers were supported by a receipt and the geometry printout
Seems Legit Garage thanks dude, I'm going to get a similar setup for my 330ci turbo, it's only for road use so I want to keep as much comfort as possible as well as the great precision that comes with it
i really want to attempt to turbo my m54b30 i have a 05 325i sedan with a zhp swap as ive managed to blow 2 m54b25 lol but now that ive had the zhp swap for about 4 months i need more if you could get into contact with me please do im probably going to go stand alone as the ms45.1 is ass for tuning but yeah get in touch id love a full parts list and some info on specifics
I did an EWS delete so I can tune the stock ecu. I domnt use a stand alone ecu, just a AEM truboost electronic boost control and Uego wideband that are stand alone.
Hey man I want to eventually turbo my BMW with an m54. Any chance you could link all the parts you got for the turbo? I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it too I'm definitely not the only one!
Thanks, I spent a lot, but could do it for less if I did it again using what I know now. Will do one of these days, car is up on stands for hydro ebrake and coilovers
tony155 Cheers for the response, I'm just trying to get as much information on doing a turbo build on a 330ci, as I'm looking at doing one for a project car. I'm really surprised that the mounts don't need adjusting.
rushking19 man Tibs are some of the most under-appreciated cars, glad to hear of someone with one! Hit 160 on I65 in one one time, '05 Tib GT with just the governor removed!
Any problems so far? Would you advise me against a similar setup on my bone stock 05 330xi with 149k. My clutch is slipping so I could upgrade it rather than replacing it with OE quality if its needed for the turbo.. What was the total cost btw?
this shits beautiful.
Dude I didnt want this walk around to end... Great job bro. more vids?
Theyre on my channel, more to come, making big updates currently

Ive got a few on my channel of it running, it rips! about 500hp at 16psi. Tuning in some larger 1000cc injectors right now so I can run more boost.
tony155, I'm going to message you on the forums I have a few more questions about this for you

I see you're from Michigan as well, I'm prepping to turbo my 330ci I just picked up, appreciate the walk around and build info 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
This was exactly what I needed to see, I just got a turbo for my 04 330i, great vid too man
How did you tune the car??
greetings from Spain! i have that same car and its amazing to think someday i can do the same preparation.. . i like yours! its a fucking beast!!!!
make more car vids! you are going to get subs 👍
i be so happy if my 330 comes out half this good
Can u explain your catch can system pls
love your steering wheel bro
I just fell in love
Strong work dude, you made a real nice job of it
check out my updated vid, shes an animal now

Mitten support! This thing is pretty sick!
You should see it now! Shes come a longgggg way
What's your estimated total cost of this build? Was planning on boosting a 300ci myself
Joshua Yusuf with ebay turbo goes up to 3-4k
@@skreech01 $3k. CX Racing turbo kit costs $1.9k, then add 1k for other supporting stuff and you land at 3

haha yeah its the catch can vent. Thanks
@@SeemsLegitGarage did u mount the beer can or left it in drug bin
If you loosen the middle Mounts on the bumper you can space it out to get better fitment
awesome build!!
Omg I need this upgrade !!!
Very nice, intercooler wont rust will oxidize. (Aluminum) also get those brushed/rubber foot pedal covers you'll thank me after your first car wash
right on dude. Good channel!
Beautiful build bro!!!
The pcv valve will act as a check valve so you don't need that additonal one inline. Try blowing the wrong way through a pcv and you will see it doesn't allow any flow.
A like because of the e46 lol nice bro
So sick

Omgosh I see so many things done wrong in the engine bay. Heat tape on the engine cover? A mashed up CA filter? One tail pipe tip? This is insane haha
Do you still recommend stock ECU or going with a Link pnp ECU? Unfortunately we have emissions here so im trying to decide whether I want to jump through hoops or not.
really depends. Stock ECU works. Standalone is far better and more user friendly
I want a video showing how to get the pipe feeding the turbo
Really cool how does it work with the disa valve intake?
Can you send me a link to the turbo you bought?

Nice to see the car finally. Seen your onboard vids in the past. Was the car dark green before?
Any track time with it again in the near future?
It was black, but yeah hopefully.
How did you go about getting the car tuned? Currently cobbling together a kit for myself and that seems like the only thing I cant figure out.
RESPECT! 🔥
I like the bonnet air vents , where did you get them from ? And how much ?

Haha the drug bin I’ve definitely stashed drugs in there before lol
With a 3.46 open diff (stock) you wouldn’t be able to put power down?
super clean build. looking to do one like it any advice
I have same car I'm planning to turbo mine as well how much did you spend to do all this

Does the 525i 03 have the m54 that everybody is boosting or is it the 3.0?
Is your ac working because that’s the only thing holding me back from putting a turbo in mine
How’s the eBay turbo holding up?? Thinking of throwing one in but not sure...
We’re did you get that manifold? And inner-cooler?
cx racing
Thanks man
was gonna ask the same think and scroll down and see this comment. Another Patrick with the same eye and taste :P ayeee
I am so going to do this with My car! How much does just the tuning cost?
What a beauty! Subbed )
does it make 130hp stock and 500hp with the turbo?
210 stock, 500 at 18psi ish
More like 231 stock if its a e46 3.0
Seems Legit Garage how much for the turbo
Wtf a 3 Liter Inline 6 with just 130hp?! it has stock 231.
Hey mate, where did you get that gauge pod?
Running forged internals or stock? By the way love the set up, I'm going with something similar for my e46
all stock internals, head has never even been pulled
Are you running stock injectors on 16psi boost ?
I always wanted to do But needed obd2 reading for emissions. I was afraid of having a large amount of money into a car that I wouldn’t be able to drive on the road. Do ecu tuning give the option to make the emissions equipment pass readiness.
yeah thats not a problem, you can trick the ecu ;)

hey man what diff did you say you were running?
Wow amazing. What clutch are you running?
Its the ECS tuning M5 clutch. I have been upping the boost and the stock organic clutch started to slip though. Recently installed a new built engine and ceramic disk to stop the slipping. Stock E34 disk slips at 18psi and up
did you delete the DISA valve?
any tips before one takes on this build?
m54 with turbo ? does it work well ?
Link to the limited slip ??
is this all on stock internals?
levelcrapgaming yes
ok thanks
Living life on the edge I see, I fuck with the build

Who did your tune?
Engine management?
How much did you spend on engine mods?
What color red is your car?
Do u have videos along the way as you were building it as a reference guide?
check out seemslegitgarage.com
Hey bro what seats are those?
How do you wire the maf
Do I need a tune before running the maf
Did you figure out the a/c?
not really, car kinda turned into a race car so it was deleted later on. I had custom lines welded but I think one was not done well and blocked.
what are you running in terms of ecu management, stock or standalone? Did you tune it yourself?
It runs off the stock ecu, which is "unlocked" and then tuned. The boost control is standalone. A buddy of mine tuned it
How do you "unlock" it? and are you using a piggy back like an FIC6? if not, what is the "stand alone" youre using for FIC
I did an EWS delete so I can tune the stock ecu. I domnt use a stand alone ecu, just a AEM truboost electronic boost control and Uego wideband that are stand alone.
Edit some code. I use a separate boost controller. Everything else is oem
I was planning to do this to a m52tu but im worried about the head studs pulling
As long as the engine wasn't overheated in the past and you have a good tuner, it will be fine
Hey man I want to eventually turbo my BMW with an m54. Any chance you could link all the parts you got for the turbo? I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it too I'm definitely not the only one!

from what year is this car?
2002
Sweet build man! What was the total cost? Thinking to do a cxracing kit and precision turbo. Also post a cold start vid!
Thanks, I spent a lot, but could do it for less if I did it again using what I know now. Will do one of these days, car is up on stands for hydro ebrake and coilovers
do you replace with better bearings?
hi...turbo size please? thks
Hey bro got some questions for you how can I get in contact with you?
Do you still use wiper fluid? where is the wiper fluid tank or you just remove it?
I just removed it
Does the cx racing m52 kit bolt right up to a m54 with no modification?
M52tu and M54 are the same.
Where did you source your turbo manifold from and were there any issues with the engine mounts?
CX racing, not interference, just had to move the AC dryer

IS THIS BONE STOCK INTERNALS ? THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE POSSIBLE TO HANDLE THAT MUCH STOCK. IS THIS CAR STILL RUNNING ?
yea stock everything. people are retarded
You located in michigan?
Where did you plug in your feed line for the turbo I'm going turbo on my car soon and I really want to know btw nice set up man!
ThatzeekidTv thanks. Oil feed is below the vanos line at oil pressure hole at the bottom.
are you talking about the black oil hose with a bolt in between? did you use the oil feed line it self or how did you thread it on there?
I checked out rally road and I think I found what could be helpful is it the oil fee adapter block?
yeah
HP?
how loud is the turbo does it have turbo flutter?
very quiet when the wastegate is closed, its a monster when its open. Yes, tons of turbo flutter I love it
tony155 I'm looking forward to having it on my tiburon, I told people not all eBay turbos is bad

Any problems so far? Would you advise me against a similar setup on my bone stock 05 330xi with 149k. My clutch is slipping so I could upgrade it rather than replacing it with OE quality if its needed for the turbo.. What was the total cost btw?
Cost is unknown because Ive down so much stuff outside the turbo. No problems at all so far, that should be a fun setup.
if i do just turbo and supporting mods, would you say in the ball park of 5k (just parts)
Yeah,, hardest part is finding a tuner. Id use RK tunes
Dude u sound like rip Paul walker epic
