10+ years and more than 30,000 map revisions.... Special thanks to the guys at MHD & MOTIV for pushing the platform to the next level.. N54 is truly like a fine wine, gets better with age... Happy birthday Andrew. Can't wait to see this thing make power.
Thank you for your great work on the OTS maps Ken, My car is only FBO for now but it has been running perfect for the past two years on the OTS tunes, cant wait to find some garage space and finally go single turbo.
I second that comment thanking u for the great work on the OTS maps! My car loved every single version but her absolute favorite was v9 stage 2+ e50.. currently running FlexFuel
Happy Bday!!! You made me realize I've been a member for over 9 months (and I cant freaking remember how long ago a sub) I would say you are between 30 and 35, I would highly doubt you are older than that (If you were you are like wine lol) Hype for how this is going!
A massive happy birthday mate .I’m guessing 38 Please keep the videos coming I’m off on paternity at the min and love the content ! Ken is fantastic I recommend him to everyone with an n54 my car flys since the build I did and he did the tuning. Love the build 💪🏻
Welcome to the Reflex world ;) Now all ya need is a BMP4 fuel pump controller it’s also power on demand and communicates through the dme. I’m using one of the reflex connections for oil pressure the other for crankcase pressure…And hey!! Ain’t nothing wrong with being over 50! 🤣 Happy Birthday..🎉🎂🎁
Happy Birthday Andrew! Wishing you good health! I must say I'm very intrigued by the prospects of this next gen port injection setup. You won't hear any arguments from me touting GDI over PI. I've had to walnut blast my intake valves twice since I've owned my 135i. Despite the nuisance I haven't been inspired enough to upgrade. But man, that aluminum manifold is beautiful. Thank you for the fantastic content! I'm watching and learning!
Thank you very much!!! On paper GDI is great, it makes so much sense. However there just isnt the tech there to get enough fuel through a single DI injector to make decent power. Merc seems to make the most power per cylinder, but i have already pushed past that with my 17t setup. PI for the win, also i heard on the grape vine BMW are bring PI back to the next gen engines. There are some things PI does better even when emission are involved.
Happy birthday mate!! Hope you are not younger than me after I suggested you adopt me as a YOUNGER brother haa! Every time I watch your videos it makes me glad/proud to be a N54 owner!
Andrew this new reflex is going to be amazing , especially with the DCT trans , i had endless shit with my N55 DCT car running on JB4 and eventually went MHD flash only, can’t wait for the content, can we meet Ken maybe on one of your videos maybe??would be great to just hear his thoughts on this new reflex system
Do you plan to do a reflex install video? I know there is very limited information on installation and I would love to see that and I’m sure others would as well! Cheers.
I’m guessing around mid 30s maybe 35. We all getting older everyday and if we healthy, happy and still get to do our hobbies like building cars etc, then it’s a blessing, we enjoy it.
im running my trigger for the 2nd fuel pump for my helix off my exhaust flap as the trigger so it can be controlled by RPM and boost according to the map table etc if i remember correctly he said he even has a program for it thats even more in depth for it. So no hobbs switch for me! Tim also hated i had a jb4 haha went MHD instantly and havent looked back! loving it. Looks like i might have to get myself a reflex plus when its out with the canbus haha i have a feeling Tim is gonna say buy it XD My 2nd fuel pump also has the Solid State Relay, the big fuse, etc it's like a precision raceworks boost reference harness chopped up, hobbs scrapped, relay added. Tim is also a god at this stuff, honestly im glad we have Tim and Ken!
Happy birthday, 45. I like direct injection on pump gas give economy and high compression and turbo. E85 hides all sins, sadly no E85 in NZ anymore at the pump
Googled jb5 and I was disappointed, watched the video and now I'm all for mhd+ and reflex with pi. My next n54 won't be getting a jb4 with helix anymore. Happy birthday Andrew! The videos have always been very interesting and helpful, built my own car alongside the 17t journey and I haven't been disappointed following your advice and build. Hopefully I'll find the funds to go single turbo and ditch the jb4 😅. Going to guess 38years!
@@jakegoldberg8941 Not a rebrand, and nothing is public other than the April fools video. But it looks like there will be a better MHD that will likely cost more and have more features but run along side MHD.....maybe. MHD+ and MHD Lite on the horizon?
Just wanted to say thanks to you guys I'll be pulling the trigger on a set of DAW Max Flows (without the plus). Looks like there's going to be up to a month wait though. Love your content. Thanks for everything you do.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I already have a bucketed 535 and upgraded line, and i know you're not a fan but i have a helix on the way. I really can't wait to get it all set up.

@@ZeroTo60Tube it’s currently controlling methanol injection (pump and solenoid) as well as the PI and tied into the ethanol sensor for map scaling. My secondary 525 fuel pump still runs off a Hobbs switch for the moment but looking into moving it over to the extra auxiliaries on the controller. It’ll be controlling boost as well just as soon as I kick myself out of the 19t’s into a single turbo setup.
I love my reflex+, I use it for boost control, pwm meth injection with pump trigger, egt, soon to be exhaust manifold pressure. It truly is the best. I've also had a small meeting with Jake on how to set it up for everything so if you or anyone needs help.
@@ZeroTo60Tube about 6 months, ditched my jb4 for it and flash only self tuned with my G30-900 on a built engine ported head. All the works and it's been flawless. Jb4 use to hiccup and cause meth problems. Reflex doesn't have any of it and being able to see a problem and have my dell 2n1 ready to mess with something if needed and aa NOT have to turn the car off is pretty cool, can't wait for the new MHD+ stuff that I can't say anything but holy sh*t is it amazing
Looks like an awesome piece of kit, I know quiet a few people are using syvecs in the uk for tuning and also doing away with the first set of o2s! My car is now up for sale and I’ll be looking for a cheaper 335i to build a single turbo n54, I’m going to look at moving the turbo way up front n possibly putting a tube front end on my car to make all the room for it! Would join your chat but don’t do Facebook or social media lol
I still have jb4 and plan on getting PI. Which PI kit should I get and also do I just need the motiv reflex plus advance I/O integration as a replacement to my jb4? Thanks
Excited for this build Interested as to why not just use a standalone ECU such as MaxxMini / Haltech etc? From what I've seen on the Reflex website the ECU would allow more I/O you have the CAN and most likely better logging and more features. Wasn't Ohreally setup like that? Have seen 800+ whp on DI only 😋
Full stand-alone really excites me, but it is a big step and won’t be relevant to most of my viewers. The I/O with reflex along side canbus integration and mhd+ was something I really want to showcase
@@ZeroTo60Tube sorry I may not.have worded it very well. While yes a full standalone is entirely an option, though.then you would need a much higher end option. What i was actually getting at was using a lower end one as the fuel controller. A lower end ECU like the one I suggested costs roughly same as reflex. Supports more I/O, probably better logging and the necessary CAN while also having other features. I've seen this setup used on other engines but with a similar premise to extremely good effect using the CAN to also integrate with the factory DME. Apologies for the wording of the original question not.being so accurate. Full standalone I understand is a doable but big and expensive undertaking especially when wanting to keep factory features of a relatively modern car.
Hell yeah! I went reflex lite on my car since no canbus yet! But once canbus becomes a thing I’ll buy the +. Still will keep my gfb electronic boost controller love controlling boost on the fly.
hey guys, how bought a small fuel cell in the trunk with its own pump running alone to the port injection manifold as a stand alone fuel system, that can be switched off and used when needed? maybe with a race fuel in the cell ,controlled by the reflex? i thought off doing this? any thoughts? and 40. cheers.
Stock 2000-2002 Audi S4 ecus Bosch ME7.1 ecus have all standalone functions built in antilag, rolling antilag and no lift shift it’s pretty cool for 20 year old tech
Basically if you have access to e85, go PI, don't waste time with anything else. If you can't get e85, port methanol injection is where you wanna be. Every other "solution" out there just does not get the results.
Hey man, been watching your TH-cam for a while now, loving it btw keep up the great content, and finally got to buying a single turbo 335i unfinished although, mind if I ask you a few questions, I’m pretty new to the platform and it’s hard to get updated answers
Wont the direct injection be doing sequential at cold start, idle and part throttle? Unless the port injectors at running like 30% duty at WOT the sequential is basically same as batch. Sequential is good on port fuel injection only though
DI does all the low load work. PI is only working under load. But injection timing still comes in to play in high load. Nivalac's vid showed both idle and power improvements. but it was the idle that was the big surprise to him
@@ZeroTo60Tube he found 1.4% gain and does mention he was at 42% duty cylce that is above half of what many engines run, if you are much above that do not expect meaningful gains from this.
Guessing 36. I wish I would have gone with reflex. Steven from Wedge recommended it and had I known I would have been adding as much as I did I would have pulled the trigger much sooner. Instead I have three additional controls wmi controller, aic controller and an electric boost controller. All could have been accomplished with a single reflex.
The reflex can only handle very small current. Just like any dme etc. However a solid state relay can switch on and off as fast a pwm signal. To the 2 amp circuit coming out of the the reflex is beefed up to 100amp with the relay.
@@chrisbmw30 MSD...... i dont have that kind of money haha. I got it from a local electronics wholesaler. However it is the same unit Haltech supply. Will suit up to 100amps.
There has been reports on the lse90 pages stating the radium FHST for the e90 isn't supporting as much HP as advertised. They were stating it was due to how the tank is fed from the factory pump. It is draining the surge tank at around 600 whp. 😳
OHHHHH that is interesting. Considering there is no pressure or resistance on the that feed line, that is bizzare. You would think a single walbro running like that would keep up with 2 walbros feeding the front of the car through the reg. unless the 2 in the radium are bleeding off in to the tank, meaning not all of the fuel from the radium is heading to the front. Might need to look in to this. I mean my ghetto twin setup through stock reg doesnt break a sweat at 630whp, so i am sure there is a way to make the radium work.
@@ZeroTo60Tube you would think there is no resistance but if I understand what they were saying correctly, radium DOES restrict the feed in order to create flow through the factory venturis. Kind of a poor design that they don't use the regulator return to run the venturis. The fix may be as simple as drilling the radium restrictor out slightly. Idk.
@@ZeroTo60Tube no freaking way, I kinda did that with my friends 2015 Subaru. I messed up two wires that where literally ABC. He had to order the unjenky version. But now I have a jenky wires if that taught me anything. Just get the metal part that connects them both. I have seen a person do a DIY but he starts cutting the whole piece apart and after that makes it work. I’ll look it up on eBay and see if I can find it for a decent price. I just replaced it too, I’ll see how it goes.
I just realized I bought that one but used because I didn’t trust it bot being from bmw but now and days if it works it works. They aren’t as cheap though, do you have any website I can look that part up at?
@@bavarianhero I just get my china ones from ebay to be honest. Do a search for walbro 460 or the actual part number F90000267. If you want to feel safer even the genuine walbros are quite cheap now.
WHen I see one of those air filters I immediately make my opinion about the tunning... or tuner... someone should have told you, that cold air is better than hot air :)
I think you'll find the fastest twin turbo n54s in the world runs dual cones... record was only set last week. but i get your assumption. At lower power levels dual cones dont help anything. But around 500whp you will pick up power compared to any other intake available. I hope this is a lesson for you to not make assumptions. My 17t car was the fastest china turbo car in the world at the time as well. The car that ended up going faster, guess what ran dual cones. Dual cones work if you want to go fast.
@@ZeroTo60Tube that is because of the more air and for more HP more air is needed, the ideal would actually be to have them sucking air from an area where there is cold air. This filter lie you use for instance is very good when run from the bottom or any place you can get it to pull cold air.
Hey love the videos and I was in the debate from using my Jb4 thats already in my car or going flash and everything I have seen says dct cars just run better and I’ve made the decision finally and am gonna rip that all. Are you going to control boost with the reflex or are you gonna go with a controller like a gfb 3?
Reflex doing boost was a big part of using it. I am hoping eventually with can integration MHD will be able to control boost through the reflex. Try and reduce the amount of things crammed in the DME box.
@@ZeroTo60Tube interesting the only issue I see now for myself not going port right away I won’t have that to control it so I kind of have to go with a gfb or something
Happy birthday, sounds like your getting looked after 😉 I’d gladly except both of those presents… ummm I don’t wana be rude, you seem like my older brother, I’m 38.. I recon your 41 🤔 your wiser but still take risks, I like it…
Haha no way, I’ve learnt heeeeaps off you in particular, I’m in Perth WA and us RHD n54 guys need to stick together, I take a lot of your advice, however I think I’ll go the flow max turbo route with my build, like your 8hp monsta, anyways cheers for the content, I get a lot out of it, always learning hey. 👍
@@ZeroTo60Tube i run one and am tuned by wedge. Best controller out there, I was about to dabble in boost control but my crank hub spun. Building a motor for it tomorrow. You wont regret switching lol
Hey man. I’ve been having trouble my car is in limp mode the electric fan cuts on. I replaced the hpfp. Still having same issues. Could it be crankshaft sensor, it said it’s missing. Or maybe lpfp? Sorry if you have time to reply that would be much appreciated. No rush tho. Thanks!
@@JustACarGuy22 You need to be able to scan the car, ideally with ista and work through fault codes. If there are no codes it could just be a matter of trial and error. However i can think why limp mode would trigger the fan, unless the car thinks its over heating.
So are carbies.... The real issue is hiding information from the DME, which in turn limits tuning ability. My jb4 worked, to the drive the car seemed fine. But its the right way to run an engine.
@@ZeroTo60Tube awesome. Thanks for the response. You mentioned in this video that you got a lot of your followers from going 17t’s on this build, I was one of them. Was actually installing mine at the same time you were. I’ve pretty much copied your build except I went with that aluminum manifold right away for port injection. Finally just got around to copying your flex fuel setup through JB4 with the fuel it kit. & now of course, you come out with this & now I’m considering the reflex lol. Always enjoy following your n54 builds. Happy birthday.
@@thedeercamp although i am super excited about this built, i wouldn't fomo on the reflex its a lot of money extra, take some time to enjoy your setup. I had so much fun with mine over the 2 years. You can still spank a v10 r8 or lambo remember that haha

Damnn it made me happy you were one of the few jb4 supporters left in the n54 community! I love my jb4, but maybe have to follow in your footsteps.
I have high expectations of the reflex, it should do everything the JB4 did and do it better. We will see tho.
Ken did my street tune as well!! My car drives amazingly well. Once I get the change to install some more mods I know who to ping again.

Crazy really. To take it 1 step further, the Mitsubishi Evo 6.5 from 1999 had antilag and launch control too.
But the no lift shift between gears gives a safe ignition cut so you can flat foot shift between gears
If one is not going to port injection would methanol injection be a worthwhile install for higher octane, cleaning and cooling purposes?
Basically if you have access to e85, go PI, don't waste time with anything else. If you can't get e85, port methanol injection is where you wanna be. Every other "solution" out there just does not get the results.

@@ZeroTo60Tube he found 1.4% gain and does mention he was at 42% duty cylce that is above half of what many engines run, if you are much above that do not expect meaningful gains from this.
Ken is my Tuner 💪🏼
Guessing 36. I wish I would have gone with reflex. Steven from Wedge recommended it and had I known I would have been adding as much as I did I would have pulled the trigger much sooner. Instead I have three additional controls wmi controller, aic controller and an electric boost controller. All could have been accomplished with a single reflex.
Is it to late to change?
Is the reflex capable of single turbo boost control or do you have to wire in an electronic boost controller?
It is yes, i will be using this for boost control
Why do you need a solid state relay for the fuel pumps if you have reflex? Doesn’t the reflex control multiple
Pumps?
The reflex can only handle very small current. Just like any dme etc. However a solid state relay can switch on and off as fast a pwm signal. To the 2 amp circuit coming out of the the reflex is beefed up to 100amp with the relay.
@@ZeroTo60Tube which SSR did you go with? The MSD ?
@@chrisbmw30 MSD...... i dont have that kind of money haha. I got it from a local electronics wholesaler. However it is the same unit Haltech supply. Will suit up to 100amps.
Happy birthday 🎂 keep up the amazing n54 content..best channel on TH-cam 💯
Appreciate that, thank you very much
There has been reports on the lse90 pages stating the radium FHST for the e90 isn't supporting as much HP as advertised. They were stating it was due to how the tank is fed from the factory pump. It is draining the surge tank at around 600 whp. 😳
OHHHHH that is interesting. Considering there is no pressure or resistance on the that feed line, that is bizzare. You would think a single walbro running like that would keep up with 2 walbros feeding the front of the car through the reg. unless the 2 in the radium are bleeding off in to the tank, meaning not all of the fuel from the radium is heading to the front. Might need to look in to this. I mean my ghetto twin setup through stock reg doesnt break a sweat at 630whp, so i am sure there is a way to make the radium work.
@@ZeroTo60Tube you would think there is no resistance but if I understand what they were saying correctly, radium DOES restrict the feed in order to create flow through the factory venturis. Kind of a poor design that they don't use the regulator return to run the venturis.
The fix may be as simple as drilling the radium restrictor out slightly. Idk.
@@cruizinmax01 I’m currently removing my radium hanger, worst decision I’ve ever made.
@@cruizinmax01 Definitely got me thinking and when i get my hands on it, i will have a closer look.
Do you recommend any budget baller stage 3 fuel pump to buy? To make it have e85. Or any cars that would share almost the same component on a budget?
Also you look like 54 years old.
this car has been running a $40aud china walbro since 2020. Slap a walbro and ghetto connect it.
@@ZeroTo60Tube no freaking way, I kinda did that with my friends 2015 Subaru. I messed up two wires that where literally ABC. He had to order the unjenky version. But now I have a jenky wires if that taught me anything. Just get the metal part that connects them both.
I have seen a person do a DIY but he starts cutting the whole piece apart and after that makes it work. I’ll look it up on eBay and see if I can find it for a decent price. I just replaced it too, I’ll see how it goes.
I just realized I bought that one but used because I didn’t trust it bot being from bmw but now and days if it works it works. They aren’t as cheap though, do you have any website I can look that part up at?
@@bavarianhero I just get my china ones from ebay to be honest. Do a search for walbro 460 or the actual part number F90000267. If you want to feel safer even the genuine walbros are quite cheap now.
have you gotten into the maxxecu on your other car yet?
Havent touched ohhrly yet
WHen I see one of those air filters I immediately make my opinion about the tunning... or tuner... someone should have told you, that cold air is better than hot air :)
I think you'll find the fastest twin turbo n54s in the world runs dual cones... record was only set last week. but i get your assumption. At lower power levels dual cones dont help anything. But around 500whp you will pick up power compared to any other intake available. I hope this is a lesson for you to not make assumptions. My 17t car was the fastest china turbo car in the world at the time as well. The car that ended up going faster, guess what ran dual cones. Dual cones work if you want to go fast.
@@ZeroTo60Tube that is because of the more air and for more HP more air is needed, the ideal would actually be to have them sucking air from an area where there is cold air. This filter lie you use for instance is very good when run from the bottom or any place you can get it to pull cold air.
Happy B-day man! If I had to guess... 42.
Hey love the videos and I was in the debate from using my Jb4 thats already in my car or going flash and everything I have seen says dct cars just run better and I’ve made the decision finally and am gonna rip that all. Are you going to control boost with the reflex or are you gonna go with a controller like a gfb 3?
Reflex doing boost was a big part of using it. I am hoping eventually with can integration MHD will be able to control boost through the reflex. Try and reduce the amount of things crammed in the DME box.
@@ZeroTo60Tube interesting the only issue I see now for myself not going port right away I won’t have that to control it so I kind of have to go with a gfb or something
Happy Birthday! Best guess is around 40.
35!! lol - Happy Birthday bro!
Thanks!!
Got me with the Jb5 your marketing genius lol
Someone needs to work on BMS's marketing.
Happy birthday & cheers mate! 🍻 36
Thank you! Cheers!
Happy birthday Andrew
Happy birthday! I’m guessing maybe 40/41? The beard and grayish hair might be tricking me haha
Edit: you fooled me with that "jb5" in the thumbnail 😂
Thanks man!!!! Finally someone noticed the thumbnail haha.
@@ZeroTo60Tube hahah, yeah ofc! I was like "Jb5? That looks interesting"
Happy 46th, mate.
y thank you...... haha
Happy birthday chief!! 🥳🎈
Thank you very much!!!! Awesome to see you still in the comments. How is E46 life? Your precious thing still around?
Happy birthday, sounds like your getting looked after 😉
I’d gladly except both of those presents… ummm I don’t wana be rude, you seem like my older brother, I’m 38.. I recon your 41 🤔 your wiser but still take risks, I like it…
Nawww ill take that, the stupid older brother that makes mistakes so you dont have to hahhaa
Haha no way, I’ve learnt heeeeaps off you in particular, I’m in Perth WA and us RHD n54 guys need to stick together, I take a lot of your advice, however I think I’ll go the flow max turbo route with my build, like your 8hp monsta, anyways cheers for the content, I get a lot out of it, always learning hey. 👍
42 is my guess. Sick Mani
Please more m5
Happy birthday bro! I’m guessing 37 ?lol
Happy birthday! 🎉🎊🎈🎂🍾🥳
Happy Birthday! 31
Happy birthday Mate. 39 is my guess
Thanks dude!
Happy birthday Andrew 🎂🎁
Thank you very much!
Happy Birthday Andrew! I'm sure you're only 21 ;)
Yes! Thank you! hahaha if only
Ken is a legend.
I dont think many people know how much he did for the back end of this platform. Especially in the early days.
Happy birthday 🎉🎊🎁 36!!
Thank you!
Happy birthday ❤❤
I think 42 or somewhere between 40 and 45 LoL
Thanks dude.
Everybody already does run a reflex lol! You’re behind shoutout to ken!
I know they are out there, but havent spoken to anyone other than Ken, who is running one currently.
@@ZeroTo60Tube i run one and am tuned by wedge. Best controller out there, I was about to dabble in boost control but my crank hub spun. Building a motor for it tomorrow. You wont regret switching lol
I think you're 36? But hey you could be much older and just look THAT GOOD! YEA BABY!! LOL. Happy Birthday to you!!!
hahaha, thanks man!
Happy birthday.
Really makes me wanna sell jb4 lol… but i dont know how long I’ll keep the car for. Just got a reasonable bid on the e91…
Ooooshhhh. Decisions ahead
Guessing 37 too
I'd say your a 1985 kid like me, happy birthday mate
Happy Birthday fella, i think your 36 👍
Happy Birthday brotha. My guess is 32
Birthday Twins! Happy star wars day and happy birthday to us!
May the 4th be with us!
I’m going to say a solid 32
Happy birthday my man! I'm guessing you're 37 today
Yes! Thank you!
Happy birthday bro! I would say 42.
thanks man
Hey man. I’ve been having trouble my car is in limp mode the electric fan cuts on. I replaced the hpfp. Still having same issues. Could it be crankshaft sensor, it said it’s missing. Or maybe lpfp? Sorry if you have time to reply that would be much appreciated. No rush tho. Thanks!
@@JustACarGuy22 You need to be able to scan the car, ideally with ista and work through fault codes. If there are no codes it could just be a matter of trial and error. However i can think why limp mode would trigger the fan, unless the car thinks its over heating.
Why the jb4 getting so much hate!!! I mean its a proven system?
So are carbies.... The real issue is hiding information from the DME, which in turn limits tuning ability. My jb4 worked, to the drive the car seemed fine. But its the right way to run an engine.
What about flex fuel?
this connects directly to the flex sensor, currently has an output to replace the older flex analysers, however should eventually do flex over can
@@ZeroTo60Tube awesome. Thanks for the response. You mentioned in this video that you got a lot of your followers from going 17t’s on this build, I was one of them. Was actually installing mine at the same time you were. I’ve pretty much copied your build except I went with that aluminum manifold right away for port injection. Finally just got around to copying your flex fuel setup through JB4 with the fuel it kit. & now of course, you come out with this & now I’m considering the reflex lol. Always enjoy following your n54 builds. Happy birthday.
@@thedeercamp although i am super excited about this built, i wouldn't fomo on the reflex its a lot of money extra, take some time to enjoy your setup. I had so much fun with mine over the 2 years. You can still spank a v10 r8 or lambo remember that haha
Happy B-DAY! I would say between 40 and 45, but your grey bear might trick us all👀
thanks for the birthday wishes! guess is a little off but not bad
Very nice stuff Andrew. And about your age. My guess would be 39. Have a nice week, Dutch regards, Nico.
Thanks man!!!
Figured you were about the same age as me (41) or a year or three younger? No offence :) Happy birthday!
none taken!!! haha
Happy birthday like many others im going 37/38
You are Australian am Jamaican so I will say 37 we aga good hope am right

hahaha, wow, doesnt time fly. Crazy how 20 years on we are still wasting everything we can on cars!
Happy birthday Australian Gipsy of n54's. I'm thinking 35 yo.
Thank you very much sir
Ken ❤
A man in his best age, 42-ish 🖖🏻
