Fun to see a young kid doing all this and having so much fun. Now you got too much horsepower (nice problem to have). I’d just back it off a bit so you don’t feel like you’re on ice all the time !
Bro, i got an e30 M52B28. With a whole lots of mods etc... I’ve been watching your Channel for the last 3 weeks and love the build. This is 90% of the set up list I’m building. I’m stoked for your figures and that ASMR is just on point, love seeing the progress and how far this has come.Much love from the UK! So sick.
Very insparational watching these vids i first started watching your videos when i was 13 now im 14 with a car and im about to turbo it all because i watched your videos... Great work man
Congrats on the build! Love your content man! Good to see that you show your sucess and faults and those final emotions with pov driving are amazing! 💪
Greetings from Germany! Just found your channel, awesome content and very clean work with your build! Got an E30 myself and planning on doing a S54 swap. But to get it street legal here in Germany is pretty complicated and expensive but I will try :D. Keep the videos coming!
So happy for you bro . I remember like it was yesterday when u blew the headgasket on the 1st Setup but look how far you came now bro . 🙌🏼❤️ Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Not sure if this is still relevant but for the cam sensor you just have to file down the "keyways"/slots on the new sensor and it will plug in. You want that vanos working, it's a ton of low end torque left on the table
Na bro straight up I fw the vibe you give off straight borderline gen Z and we sittin here huntin for 500whp I gotta e34 bout to swap the m52 in and start a channel you inspire me g. I fwu 💯 subscribed
Im just trynna have as much fun as Joel in his boosted e30 🤣 found your channel because of your e46 wagon manual swap and I’ve just been lowkey watching all the great content 🔥
I have a similar build. But with a ms3pro ecu,hx35 turbo and a stock exhaust cam.we should talk,I had boost creep issues with my stock rsi turbo manifold.had go to a 50mm wastegate on the turbo housing.
It was a wastegate flow restriction.I have only used a EBC.my car runs good and has for 2 years.i have a few videos of it sliding around on my channel if you want to see.
yoo, this is peak quality content bro, stay safe and i recommend upgrading the brakes soon so nothing goes to waste ;), and remember to always full send it
30:18 sick flame!!! Also, you NEED to get a radar detector before you get pulled over for speeding/reckless driving and lose your license!!! The Uniden R3 is a great choice and only $250- much cheaper than a ticket and insurance hits. Or you could drive the speed limit... but we know how that goes hahaha
Dude that thing in crazy, love the diy turbo build keep up the good work and keep posting these little tip and problems you run in too cause I also run into a lot of problems and I’m turboing my e46 and my cousin is turboing his e30
car will last forever with those figures as long as the ecu/tune is good lol. m5x/s5x love boost. there's people with just hg/studs running 4-550 with thousands of daily driven/race/drift/track miles lol.
Very good content. I realy want to make copy of this project , do you recommend for 5-6k bugget ? Did you bought entire m54 engine and got m52 head ? Or you got only parts (head block )and you put them together ,
Couldn't stop smiling since I've done this before myself. HAHAHAHA Good stuff. I don't mind supporting someone learning it on their own. SUBBED! BTW in the future... Don't drive it that much to fix it.... well.... DRIVE IT. but ENJOY IT. So what it wasn't hitting 18 psi. If you make it about diagnosing. you just spent all those miles and hard driving stressing instead of enjoying. Good luck man
Man, My car should be out of the shop (22RPD) any day now. i cant even wait to experience boost ! GT3582R M52B28 Copper Spacer/Cut Ring, 60lbs, huge aem pump Link G4+
Are you running a thicker MLS headgasket? ARP head studs? I have a similar build that I am finishing up the exhaust before dyno and am really only aiming for high 300's and a reliable, trackable tune.
Amazing bro.. I'm in the process of installing e38 4 pot brembo brakes on my e30. You should consider something cuz on stock brakes its not cool... These calipers are DIRT cheap in my country tho :D like 100 bucks for a set.
The vid I have been waiting for, hearing about the ecu seeing what power u got and that 2 step 🔥🔥 I’m going that route for my ecu just about finished my build
I'm running a copper spacer and cut ring head gasket so it should be .140" thickness and then with the m54b30 pistons I'm not really sure exactly where it leaves the compression
@@ImJoel Not really sure, the M54 has 1mm more deck height, but the M52b28 has ~2 cc more volume in the head, stock head gaskets are thicker on the M52 as well. Probably works out really close to the same CR as stock M52/M54 with all the +/- trades, so you're probably still 8.5:1-ish with the .140 cutring/spacer combo. Thanks for the info!
@@Northern_ I did a lot of forum reading and math trying to figure this out for my personal engine build. M54B30 internals in an M50 block/M52 head works out to 10:1 CR on a stock headgasket
@@FishFind3000 the vanos is working. It's set up right in the base map. It doesn't need the cam sensor since it's just on/off vanos on m50, s50, m52, s52 engines. It's rpm activated, not camshaft sensor dependent in any way.
Nice work yes unplug the cam sensoor i made a mistake whit mine bewust it was the wrong sensoor and my vems almost was on fire but the send me a nieuw one and mijne m52 turbo is runing nog ond vems to haha
Lovely car dude, you keep inspiring, I would however say go to a drag strip or a track, stay off the streets driving like that, it's self incriminating especially while recording how you're driving, Otherwise, Love it and a the videos, if they'd be double the length I'd still watch, say safe dude ✌🏻
thank you man! I would love to be able to do that but it's just very unrealistic right now unfortunately. I've been trying to be a lot more careful with where I rip it. You'll see why when im allowed to post it 😬
Hit 500 wheel and met papa oaks all in one vid, legendary
Tc bro, you are driving a rocket. You have one of the best modified e30’s. Top car 💪
the most underrated chanel... say hi to jimmy
found you on my recommended after binging james charles, gave your channel a try and im loving the content!!
I love you grate
Diss dood
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
this man gonna blow up i’m waiting !!!

aye I remember you!! thank you so much for believing in me early ❤
Them pov drives be making me feel sum typa way 😫
Well done bro big achievement, I have an E36 with the same engine hoping to do the same during summer, Much love from Scotland keep it up

thank you bro i appreciate it!! 500whp feels amazing everyone should have a 500hp car lol
Bro your a beast for this build great job all around I’m sure that thing is a freaking rocket! I was smiling ear to ear let’s gooooo!
Back with the sick upload! Truly is a sick build! be safe tho, thats a lot of power in such a compact car :). Keep uploading!
that engine bay looks super clean! great video, i loved the reactions !
thank you my guy ❤️

i luckily have never had any boost creep issues with the electronic boost controller. maybe the turbo is what’s making yours creep?
It was a wastegate flow restriction.I have only used a EBC.my car runs good and has for 2 years.i have a few videos of it sliding around on my channel if you want to see.
So happy and proud of you bro! Keep up the good work!

thank you so much my guy, i looked it up and i’m 100% buying an r3. i always thought you had to spend at least $500 to get one that was half decent
Dude that thing in crazy, love the diy turbo build keep up the good work and keep posting these little tip and problems you run in too cause I also run into a lot of problems and I’m turboing my e46 and my cousin is turboing his e30
I know the feeling driving, recording, wrenching, editing, tuning all at once 🤯😴
underrated channel
Man I love these videos so much... the car is so sick!!
Thanks for putting a big smile om my face 💯
This video was dope asf! I can’t wait to build mine.
Super excited for you bro!!! hell yeaaaa buddy
Dude that is so sick, I got so excited when you finally made full boost😎🤤
car will last forever with those figures as long as the ecu/tune is good lol. m5x/s5x love boost. there's people with just hg/studs running 4-550 with thousands of daily driven/race/drift/track miles lol.
this is a very proven setup and here we see why! I couldn't be happier with it honestly
WTF Random Jimmy Oakes and Derrick! This is the first ImJoel video I've ever watched. Rad.
Sounds badass. All that hard work you put in and this car makes me jelly
9:13 even the radio loved it when it worked :D
Sick video dude congrats man
Very good content. I realy want to make copy of this project , do you recommend for 5-6k bugget ? Did you bought entire m54 engine and got m52 head ? Or you got only parts (head block )and you put them together ,
Couldn't stop smiling since I've done this before myself. HAHAHAHA
Good stuff. I don't mind supporting someone learning it on their own. SUBBED!
BTW in the future...
Don't drive it that much to fix it.... well.... DRIVE IT. but ENJOY IT. So what it wasn't hitting 18 psi. If you make it about diagnosing. you just spent all those miles and hard driving stressing instead of enjoying.
Good luck man
im in love with this 30
happy for u bro!!! the build is insane
Nice!!! Can you do a step by step video on how you wire up the engine harness to the body harness?
this is literally my dream car. the motor and all. one day.
Damn been watching the videos for a while but didn't know you knew Jimmy Oakes cool guy love his videos
sounds gnarly sick build bro
Amazing progress, man!
What the hell is papa Oakes doing in there? :D
I literally couldn't stop smiling during this video 😍
Damn bro I’m happy for you 💪🏽 this shit made me smile ode. I was thinking of this swap or s50 but ima do this instead. Good shit.
Man, My car should be out of the shop (22RPD) any day now. i cant even wait to experience boost !
GT3582R M52B28 Copper Spacer/Cut Ring, 60lbs, huge aem pump Link G4+
made 434 @ 12 psi. (sheesh!)
This Was The Exact Build I Was Gonna Do On My 323i Im Glad To See Proof This Blows My Mind I Can't Fucking Wait
Been waiting for this!
what an epic build my guy!
This is so sick!! I'm thinking I need an m52 stroker to replace my m20 now
this engine feels amazing as a 3.0L. do it!
26:18 AHAHA! Made me laugh at 2:30am in my bed 🤣 your car RIPS bro! woah!!
Love and support bro ❤️✊🏽✊🏽🇩🇪
Great vid, awsome pulls 👌👍
Are you running a thicker MLS headgasket? ARP head studs? I have a similar build that I am finishing up the exhaust before dyno and am really only aiming for high 300's and a reliable, trackable tune.
This car just seems like so much fun
How small is America 😆 i ddnt expect to see Jimmy here,just watched the GT+T video then he pops up here also 😆 wicked
lmao this is the best comment ever
Joel bro im sure brakes are next 😅 that beast needs a leash
your a legend dude. Keep going!
Youre a cool ass dude man. Hope to meet you one day. Keep up the good work!
Amazing bro.. I'm in the process of installing e38 4 pot brembo brakes on my e30. You should consider something cuz on stock brakes its not cool... These calipers are DIRT cheap in my country tho :D like 100 bucks for a set.
big brakes are definitely coming asap!
530 at the hubs must be fairly exciting on the road....! What kinda spec is the engine internally?
Always with you immediately👌🚗
I appreciate you!
Sounds like u have a leak in the exhaust manifold
In those last pulls u can clearly hear it
The vid I have been waiting for, hearing about the ecu seeing what power u got and that 2 step 🔥🔥 I’m going that route for my ecu just about finished my build
Bro u need a radar ASAP lmfaooooooo dope video though car has come a far way but so has your knowledge 🤟🏽🤟🏽
this is also the only way a car should be driven.
Just one word awesome 😍😍😍
Im going to do an m52 swap on my e46 i might need some guidance from you later
i see you boy👀
No lock nuts on those driveshaft bolts?
Dude that was awesome 👍😎👍
What are you running for a head gasket? Mostly want to know what your CR is, 8.5:1 or 9:1?
I'm running a copper spacer and cut ring head gasket so it should be .140" thickness and then with the m54b30 pistons I'm not really sure exactly where it leaves the compression

damn jimmy o coming musta been super cool
Hey man, what tyre sizes are you running ?
Jimmy really pulled up tho!
yessir! he's a great guy
Will you get the vanos working with the aftermarket ecu?
probably will down the line, but as of now I couldn't be happier with where it's at
@@ImJoel If im not mistaken if you get the vanos working you could tune the valves so you can spool up the turbo faster.
@@FishFind3000 the vanos is working. It's set up right in the base map. It doesn't need the cam sensor since it's just on/off vanos on m50, s50, m52, s52 engines. It's rpm activated, not camshaft sensor dependent in any way.
Fcking love the sound of oxygen going into the turbine :OOO and the 2step when u do it infront of your dad :D that flames crazy :D
What program do you use to read the ecu?
19:40 Hahaha, we all been there!
This shit is scary bro! Thanks for charging in head on.
Dad: “something went over there”😂
Decel vibration might be CSB or guibo
Ah just kidding, you found it 😂
Literally just as I was typing you went through the specs ....! 🤦♂️ what fuel is it running?
What is your fuel pressure setup
Jimmy oooooooooh!
crazy broooo
What kind of differential are you using ?
it's currently a 2.93 welded diff but i'm switching it to a 2.93 lsd
Hallman boost controller next time for easy and simple
bruh that driveshaft bolt tho
Race idea 💡 :
135i or 335i
I love this
What standalone do you have?
VEMS stand-alone and my engine is obd2
do you know if they make an obd1 vems unit? I’m m50nv swapped and want to go boosted
Nice work yes unplug the cam sensoor i made a mistake whit mine bewust it was the wrong sensoor and my vems almost was on fire but the send me a nieuw one and mijne m52 turbo is runing nog ond vems to haha
Lovely car dude, you keep inspiring, I would however say go to a drag strip or a track, stay off the streets driving like that, it's self incriminating especially while recording how you're driving,
Otherwise,
Love it and a the videos, if they'd be double the length I'd still watch, say safe dude ✌🏻
thank you man! I would love to be able to do that but it's just very unrealistic right now unfortunately. I've been trying to be a lot more careful with where I rip it. You'll see why when im allowed to post it 😬
Early gang
Fireeeeeee
The anti lag sounds so mean
Nice but after month you will mode launch control more... trust me😅
Love this shit bro
WHICH TYPE OF FUEL INJECTORS DID YOU USE? i have m52 3.0l stroker and injectors make hell alot of noise
i’ve got some genuine siemens 60lb injectors
