You seriously are a huge help in our community. I ordered the same turbo kit but with the bigger turbo and I just ordered port injection. It said I needed a different charge pipe and I was looking for one like crazy but then realized this kit already comes with one thank you so much for your videos you’re amazing again
Solid advisement. Totally makes sense. Don’t go spending money after mods that’s aren’t needed. Dude is definitely an engineer when not moonlighting on BMWs.
Subbed! Great Videos on the B58! Please keep em coming! Owning a 2019 440i GC and can't wait for the warranty to run out to finally give it a proper Stage 2
Now another reason to upgrade charge pipe would be to get a BOV version if you plan to go EWG with how Vargas is making Factory controlled EWG turbo kits.
i have a 2022 x3m40i stage 2 and when i put in the high flow cat and flashed to stage 2 i noticed a very loud noise coming from the engine bay that i didnt notice with stage 1 and stock and the floor boards were vibrating like crazy and i had vibration at the pedals which were a concern to me. I went and put a chargepipe in from cts and all of the vibrations and majority of the sound from the engine went away.
Love the videos man you really are the best channel for b58 engines!! I ordered a dorch stage 1 for my gen 1 b58 and I’m about to order a wmi kit. I was wondering what you recommend for the meth tank size. I’m worried 1 gallon might not be enough. Thanks!
To me the larger it is the better. Even if it's not spraying much you don't want to worry about it running out. I know a few people with the smaller tanks that have to replace it weekly but it depends on your driving habits.
I love your videos so much! They are so informative. I just installed my TU pump today following your recent video - it was super helpful! After watching the video, it seems like I won't need to upgrade my charge pipe for BM3 stage 2+ OTS map, right?
Yo keep dropping the great knowledge watched all the videos, about do some serious upgrades to my 2019 440i F36 the only thing I'm missing is more information on exhaust upgrades cause for price point and vavle control systems and also is stock enough just upgrade mid pipes to be cheaper or is it a must upgrade free flow for vargas GC+
Thanks Holmes for replying, I really appreciate your help gonna do catless downpipe, dinan intake, CFS heat exchanger with MHD OTS start off then vargas GC+ and Dorch stage 2 with 93 until I can upgrade internals before I do E blends all I want 550- 600whp
Hey Kern, is there a way to get that plastic piece off the charge pipe where it covers the c clamp near turbo? I have to remove my stock charge pipe and reinstall it and want to retain the plastic clamp unless it's not needed. Thanks.
@kern417, thanks for the video, i have been googling and coudlnt find a half decent answer. however i got a follow up quesiton. so i have aB48 engine and i live in canada where weather also plays a factor to the fact that its half year really cold and half the time relatively hot. does the weathering plays a factor to this at all?
@@kern417 awesome thanks fir the reply. One more question. I just picked up my 440i and it has catless VSRF dp. I hate the fuel smells when I am at a street light with the windows down. I’m curious if I get the catted vsrf dp with 200 cel cat, will that mainly fully resolve the fuel smells? Or will I still get some fuel smells with the race cat setup? I might just have to lose the hp and go back to stock cat :-/ I can’t stand the fuel smells!
Hey man, love your B58 content, very knowledgable and straight to the point. Just wondering with your doc race kit, is there any downsides to having your intake pod filter exposed like that in the engine bay? Since it may be susceptible to sucking in hot air created from the engine in a confined space.
Hey kern, I have a question. In the case where you have to go 40-50% throttle and bring up the engine to ~4-4.5k with the oil temp only around 150 degrees (read through torque app), could that do any harm? I got into a situation where I had to do so, but only once. I use special tec 5w-30 which has higher levels of zddp btw. I might be over worrying.
@@kern417 ok for sure. I usually let my vehicle warm up for 5-6 minutes then drive. Usually by the time I get to a stop light or two it’s already beyond 160 Fahrenheit
@@kern417 b58 oil and coolant temps are pretty much exactly the same and warm up at the same rate since the coolant flow is electronically controlled. I monitor both of them with my p3 gauge.
@@kern417 i was one of those dudes who had the N55 and had it blow up. I get you think you know everything but I don't trust plastic when forcing the car to work harder, Just play it safe for $250 and it looks nice.
this is not an n55. there are people pushing 600+hp through the stock charge pipe. you don't understand why the n55 pipe failed if you think the b58 is the same.
i was using the n55 as a reference. Its PLASTIC! do you have data on years and years of extended tuned use? You are basically the equivalent of Bro science for cars. Alum is always going to be a better option than plastic.@@kern417
yes, i have had my car for over 6 years and over 600hp for 3 years. no one is breaking charge pipes for the reasons mentioned in the video. it works very well. steel is stronger than aluminum, so why don't you get something stronger? because it's not needed, weighs more, costs more to make, along with all the other other negatives. but feel free to keep making uneducated decisions about your build.
One of the few people that understands engineering before recommending changing parts. Kudos.

Thank you for the support

My m140i b58 1st gen chargepipe failed with a 450hp custom tune.
Big boost leak.
Replaced it with ftp chargepipe and turbo inlet and problem is gone.

If you have an f3x then the bms stealth tank is the best option
@@kern417 will do, i was hesitent at first because I’m not sure how much it uses if i just use it for cooling

Great explanation. !
charge pipe goes directly from turbo to throttle body, no intercooler?
the intercooler is in the intake manifold
what about upgrading the intake manifold...does that provide power gain?
Not much. But it helps provide more consistent power in hotter temperatures.
How much it cost to put a turbo setup like that? Complete with tune
Great vid ,,, makes perfect sense 👌
Thanks

All you really need is a downpipe to make good power. The stock exhaust is not very restrictive

It's there so the clip doesn't go flying when it's removed
Is it necessary to replace the plastic clip on the stock charge pipe on the turbo side? If so is there a part# to that clip?
No

Nope it shouldn't matter
I'll just keep mine stock. Fast enough for me.
Why does the b58 not have a BOV? Can I add one? I like the ricer sounds!
There is one aftermarket one made by Bigboost. The b58 doesn't have one because excess air is recirculated through the cylinder head via DME Tuning

Yes
@@kern417 thanks for the reply
Does that apply to the S58?
Should be similar in principle since it goes directly from turbo(s) to intake manifold but idk of there could potentially be other weak points
So my G01 doesn’t need an upgrade 😊
Mines kicked the bucket a month in after stage 2🥺

I stopped watching at exactly 20 seconds in. Hope I didn’t miss anything good.
Would you say inlet pipe first before charge pipe.
neither really makes a difference
Great video, thanks for the information
