I remember the days of Hot 4’s Magazine back in the 90’s when I had an MR2 GT Turbo, and so many cars had equal length manifolds. It is an art form! This channel just keeps getting better. Loving the content and your passion!👍🏻
So long as welds get the right penetration and aren't porous or contaminated, they're fine - they looked neat enough. People who have never even seen a welder irl can have exacting opinions about what 'good' is. Worst case, take some Scotchbrite to it and polish them up, they'll look 'cleaner'. Can't wait to hear it go down the road though, that exhaust note man, divine!
Jake, please help Andrew built this kit! 😂 Can’t wait to hear this kit in full anger! Looking forward to the comparison from the 17t to big single too!! Great video and look forward to the next! 👌🏼
Finally we have this video (reg RHD turbo kit). This is my most concern about the steering rack fitment. Please make the upcoming videos's installation in deapth. So exciting and thank you guys so much 👍
What a piece of kit all that all is, slightly more expensive than the Walton motorsport kit here in the uk! But the amount of stuff that you get for your money from the kit you’ve shown is pretty good to be honest! The welding looks good and he’s purged everything properly to with full penetration from what I could see! He’s also used standard thickness manifold plates which is good as the 10mm thick ones cause issues, I’ve looked a lot into building my own as I am a welder fabricator/pipe fitter and that equal length manifold sounds awesome! Proper 2jz sounds!
Andrew Mate, you don’t need no man to pull this off but yourself, I did my RHD single turbo install on my own, with my back on the ground, with the car on Jack stands, I know you got this😏
Finding equal length manifolds for BMWs is like searching for a unicorn. It's upsetting. That engineer has some great connections. Fyi... CES wants 10k usd for their 1000hp precision, N54 single turbo kit. I legit want to make this kit, fit my N55! That sounds so perfect.
Man it sounds like a damn Ferrari! Some serious engineering in that kit, truly beautiful craftsmanship. You can tell the guy that made it is a true gearhead in it because he loves it.
Really cool and well thought-out turbo kit!! Can't wait to see the results. I'm running a DocRace top mount kit myself and it would be cool to compare the two because so many people are already running the DR kit.
I have been watching this channel for quite some time now, Definitely my favorite channel on TH-cam. I don't understand why the subscriber count is so low still? The content is so damn good. Keep up the good work man, I can't wait to see the build progress of this kit and the sound it's going to make. Is the kit 5k USD without the turbo? If so, how much is the turbo setting you back? I want this kit for my Z4 at some point!
Hey man, i think our sub count and views are simply a reflection of real content, not some muppet who can change a wheel making click bait titles about things they dont have a clue about. Anyway rant over. So yes the kit is a million dollars with out the turbo or wastegates. However it leaves you open to china or genuine options. I have gone cheap turbo $1000 and expensive wastegates. Also Adam who made this kit, just purchased a crash z4is for development.
Going top mount 6766 On3 best decision I made on my 335i. Now it’s going in my N54/8hp70 E70 Swap. 1st in the world. You and the guys at turbo lamik are the best keep it up
Absolutely! Something i think a lot of the people that throw thier first turbo together dont realise. Like me when i turbocharged my ford explorer back in to 2006..... one small fire is ok right? haha
I find it odd that the downpipe didn't get the same coating that the manifold got, but heat wrap was included to address that. They coated the coolant pipe and oil drain fitting, but not the dp?
@@xpo186 The down pipe wont get anywhere near as hot as the manifold. You have to remember the turbo works by restricting the exhaust gases as they leave the manifold, its like putting your thumb over the end of a hose pipe. So heat and pressure builds up in the manifold which is why they get so hot. It is the hottest part of the turbo system. Once the gas exits the turbo, it is cooling from that point onwards. The zirconia coating is very expensive and considering how close the manifold gets to the coolant pipe and it makes sense to pay for the coating in that area to reduce the heat transfer from the manifold to the cooling system. However the downpipe will (should) be fine with normal heat wrap.
@@ZeroTo60Tube @Zero To 60 Thanks for the explanation. I'm not really convinced that the dp temps are that much different from the manifold though, considering proximity to the manifold. Also, I thought that a turbo works by introducing as little restriction as possible in order to facilitate the exit of exhaust gases, thus spooling the turbine. The exhaust wrap will be effective, it's a proven method of managing high temperatures in many other top mount st kits (no argument there). But for 5000 euro, I find it to be an odd decision for cost savings. To put it another way, if I were looking to spend that amount of coin on this kit (which is absolutely amazing), I would opt for the dp to be coated as well.
Any updates on this car? Is it still running? Are you happy with the ST setup or is the car now a pain to drive like a lot of 335i guys say? I’m really interested in going single, but if the car is no longer enjoyable to go for a quick drive I have no interest in making the car any less enjoyable. To be honest I’m already at the point where I’d like to sell it and get an F series and keep the build basic

Wow... You guys have Christmas every quarter! Anyways - do you guys have one or more telegram groups? I wasn't contributor on the gofundme and I feel that I'm missing out on information regarding the 8hp swap.
Zero To 60 , it had fitment issues. It touched the brake line and AC line. Of course there isn’t much room. It lasted about a year with header wrap. Adding wrap made the clearance almost nothing. I wrapped the lines as well. One day after work, I headed from work to an Aldi and as soon as I shut down the car 💥 💨. I was lucky the car didn’t catch fire as all the oil from the AC charge , discharged on the hot manifold . I had a custom line made to divert the AC further away. Some people had issues with the O2 sensors being mounted up top. Some say it burns up easier. I had the ADV sensors and they have been working well for me. The turbo is bottom mount and the GTX3076R is a tight fit below. The turbine housing is about 1/16” away from the aluminum water jacket. Downpipe is 3” but hits the firewall metal heat shields. It also wasn’t long enough to reach the dual stock exhaust flanges so modifications were needed. Bottom mount is hard to fit a large air filter. After years of hard pulls and what not, it’s still going but I had to change out a leaking AN-6 water line to the turbo. Not much space . I never removed my secondary cats so I’m unsure if it will sound much like the video kit you have but I can say that what you posted sounded really good. So kudos 👏 to that person who fabbed that for you.
Maybe consider running a turbo oil feed filter on some these cars exspecially the ones with expensive turbos, running a bov and upgrading to a full 3" exhaust?
Guys, ive been wishing i went single turbo ever since i bought my 17ts and replaced the internals with billet and the thrust bearings etc. I might actually sell off the turbos, vargas outlets, vrsf inlets and vrsf catless DPS and buy this or something similar. im currently making 397rwkw with my build on e40 on 23psi but i have index 12s, helix, 2nd lpfp, coils on the way and if i dont hit 450rwkw ill buy this or something close to it (its hard cause im in Vic so i cant just drive into simply tuning =[ lol ) and sell all my stuff 100% ive been seeing too many single turbo n54 videos and i have so many regrets, 1 blown engine later, ive spent almost 25k without including the price of the car and damn i could of built a monster!!!! Owell, first time you do something no matter how much research and reviews you look at you always have regrets!
are upgraded twins blowing engines because of too much torque in low RPMs? I'm still stock turbos but trying to consider which direction to go. Was looking at the DAW Stage 2+ hybrids.
This is a very true and heartfelt comment. Man the journey is painful sometimes. I’m at about 40k in mods on my e92. It never ends. Make sure you take the time to enjoy what it is now.
@@racker5108 I believe i had a faulty injector which was leaking and caused detonation in cyl 4, The mechanic i bought the new motor from with installation said he would open my motor and tell me exactly what happened but all he did was text "cracked piston and piston rings" and nothing else. I did have MHD shift bog delete and xhp drag mode active and was hitting rev limiter in 3rd and 4th gear so not sure. Not the best archeology on my part but i just was happy to give up my blown engine and $3300 for a 128k km motor installed with warranty and didnt ask too many questions and he threw in a free pos injector for cyl 4. I did just spend about 4-5k buying the last of my purchases aswell as m3 arms and an LSD and i think im done until i do what the boys did and go budget built motor and sell off all the twins gear and components and single it up.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeah it makes me sad sometimes thinking about what ive spent and what i could have done but as you know learning takes time, money and effort. I did go 17t's because of you guys primarily and actually looked for an e90 with wastegate rattle and snagged one for $7500. Came with 240k kms but at this point ive replaced everything lol. Lifes just too short tho brother, we have to enjoy the time we have and unfortunately for us and our families it's cars but at least we can get the kids and family involved on race day! haha. Big props guys, keep it up! Im never planning to sell because of the $$ spent and i bet you arent either but i will say everybody looking in amazement and asking you questions when you make as much power as we do does feel awesome!
@@racker5108 pull timing under 4k rpm on big hybrids. I can show you 2 built motors with spun bearings and bent rods because i had 14 degrees timing at 24 psi on full e85. you can pull a few degrees of timing but ultimately, get the most of the hybrids while you can, they never last.
Its my brother Dave. Unfortunately the youtube videos cost an insane amount of money to produce. We spent over $80k last year in parts and equipment and made about $20k. David has had to focus on our other business which does actually make money. Meanwhile im over here living my best life with your lot. Im enjoying it while it lasts anyway.
All cool but doing equal length does nothing to spool. My G35-900 makes 20psi at 3000rpm in a 1.06 housing on my DG single kit, testing it also did 36psi at 3800 but that's to high of pressure only flowing around 60lb/min so 28psi is the current boost making 806awhp with 8° timing
Can you clarify that? You are saying a proper designed equal length twin scroll manifold will not spool faster than a non equal length? Also would love to see your logs and some more info on your setup. You are spooling faster than 17ts. My 17ts cant make 20psi at 3000rpm with out brake boosting.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Excuse me for my late response. I'm horrible at them, was actually watching your new exhaust leak video and thought. Oh I need to reply. Anyways my point is that once there's pressure, exhaust pulsing doesn't matter has much in a twin scroll manifold. The pulses are already spaced far enough apart that any gains are very very small 1% or less which is very unnoticeable.
@@N54God666 Appreciate the reply, dont worry about them being late haha. Can you upload some vids of your car spooling? Keen to see it doing its thing.
From seeing his logs it spools early af with the 3582 twin scroll, but that’s the point of this type of mani. Expecting a bit more lag on my setup. My concern is top end power.
That sounds a little VQ, doesn't it? I need to go listen to some old supra clips but very different to what I thought it would sound like from title alone.
Absolutely not. New or dont bother.I I have seen viv turbos which have blown and they will generally damage the housing. When you rebuild them, they wont spool like a new set. You will have a ultra laggy set of china turbos. However this is how viv do most of the warranty. They send people the parts to do a cheap repair.
@@VincentNguyens yes absolutely. however calculating tube length and diameter is key, i have heard a few "equal length" systems on N54 but they are not made with this much effort and they dont sound the same. This is with 6 or 7 mm per cyl. This would work on N55 but I have a feeling valve size is different on the B58.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I see thank you very much for getting back to me in such a timely manner, im currently looking at a 440i with a b58 but I don’t want to get it if I can’t achieve this sound 😅
@@ZeroTo60Tube tell him i have a cnc ported n53 head, inconel valves, ferrea springs, 299/284 +11mm cams. the n53 head has larger exhaust ports, larger valves and just flows a bunch more air than the n54. if he can make me a custom manifold tuned for the head i would pay him his weight in gold, or gasoline (same price right now)
I personally don't like water to air. I know the S55s have it, but the fastest one in the world doesn't. Water to air is ok, but you will eventually encounter heat soak if you are making ok power. We could never run even the most efficient water to air system at our roll race events. Would be ok for drag racing if we ran an ice box and refilled the ice before each pass to cool the water system that way...... When you think of the heating and cooling as basically moving energy around. The extra time it takes to move that heat energy out of the car with a water to air system is where the efficiency goes out the window. This is when you are running the cars at 700+hp of course. Not so much of an issue at 500hp. That being said, please let me know how yours plays out. The amount of heat energy you are trying to manage will be a big factor and it may work really well for you.
If your turbo selection is laggy, then air to water might solve your issue because it shortens the length from turbo to intake manifold by many feet. This was the purpose of BMWs S55 engine using it. But if you have a smaller single turbo then it should respond like twins. Like 0-60 mentioned, it’s a trade off for what you want to do. If you like drag racing it will be good. You can cool it off.
Correct, no turbo or waste gates, which are bloody expensive. To be honest for the work thats gone in to the kit $5000 is cheap. Adam wont make these for long, he is doing it for the love at the moment. I know a few turbo kit business's and most places would charge double to produce this product as a viable business. That being said the $5000euro was still a huge price for me to stomach, when i am used to twin setups and cars in general that cost less.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeh for sure, it's definitely not 'cheap' but for what it is and what you showed in the video; it looks like really nice stuff and i'd say it's definitely worth it for someone chasing big numbers and power.
I have quite a few people ask. My issue is time. I focus on the zeroto60 telegram chat first, then youtube comments. And most days i will send around 100-300 replies. Which takes an insane amount of time. This is why i don't do instagram any more. I just cant keep up with the people tyring to contact me.
@@ZeroTo60Tube i swear i remember you talking about being on the limit with the power the 17t car was making? especially seeing as you're planning on putting a g35 1050 on lol looks like some upgraded clutch packs or new ones will be on order real soon, cant imagine a 200,000k trans is going to be happy with way more power than what was already a butt of power lol, either way mad props from getting the turbo kit, its completely changed my mind what i was going to do with my 335i as im rhd too and frankly cant find better a sounding, well thought out better equipped kit anywhere else. will defo be ordering one later this year.
I never thought about this being an issue for me, I'm from nz and want to go single turbo.. do you know any other opinions that are cheaper? This is way out of my price range
@@ZeroTo60Tube Thanks, wow this video just broke my heart, I had so many plans for this year but I don't feel like spending overk 8k for a kit plus shipping and tax at borders
@@rdrezi1717 Im running a china turbo on this kit. I reckon ill still spend about $12kaud plus the fuel system and exhaust. You need to allow $15-$20k aud if you are stock turbo. A garrett turbo is $4500 alone.
Lol Andrew, you're dead right, when we get to this age, these are the sorts of birthday presents we buy ourselves. Not sure when your birthday actually is, but Happy Birthday, mine is also coming up this week. The kit itself looks good, equal length manifolds are a big key to getting everything working in unison, something I am struggling with to get done for one of my projects to be fair, it's a bit of a lost art these days unfortunately. Looking forward to seeing the car you have in hiding, have a couple of suspicions as to what it could be. If you ever want some quick photos of what I've got here, or as usual if you ever get stuck, flick me an email.
I actually turn....30 something in may... wow. im getting old. And yeah, i feel adam has done this for love, not money. Every shop i know who makes similar, simply says it todays age, its not worth the effort. Not on a BMW. Different it was a Lambo or something, but people generally dont want to pay for the extra effort to make something like this.

Flowmax+ won’t make as much top end as a big single. But for street driving you will be in boost more often. The catch is the single is a experience.
Looking forward to hearing those manifolds on your car :)
Another super good 38mm wastegate option are GFB. Run then on a couple customer cars and run ther bov on my car love it.
I did look at those. It was either GFB or turbosmart being aussie. The Turbosmarts were 20% off, so i took the plunge.
@@ZeroTo60Tube the way to go then!
Is the kit available for purchase? Will he ship to the USA? I'm sold on the sound alone so I might have to ditch the bottom mount for this
Not yet, well i dont think so. But soon, shoot adam a message. facebook.com/n54developments
If you run a single exhaust you'll get the inline 6 sound
Wow... You guys have Christmas every quarter! Anyways - do you guys have one or more telegram groups? I wasn't contributor on the gofundme and I feel that I'm missing out on information regarding the 8hp swap.
Jake...why haven't you helped Andrew fit that turbo kit?
Here here
The very first single kit I know of is the one I have on my car. It’s the FFTEC and it was $9000.
I had no idea you had such a serious setup. What are you thoughts on the kit?
Zero To 60 , it had fitment issues. It touched the brake line and AC line. Of course there isn’t much room. It lasted about a year with header wrap. Adding wrap made the clearance almost nothing. I wrapped the lines as well.
One day after work, I headed from work to an Aldi and as soon as I shut down the car 💥 💨.
I was lucky the car didn’t catch fire as all the oil from the AC charge , discharged on the hot manifold .
I had a custom line made to divert the AC further away.
Some people had issues with the O2 sensors being mounted up top. Some say it burns up easier. I had the ADV sensors and they have been working well for me.
The turbo is bottom mount and the GTX3076R is a tight fit below. The turbine housing is about 1/16” away from the aluminum water jacket.
Downpipe is 3” but hits the firewall metal heat shields. It also wasn’t long enough to reach the dual stock exhaust flanges so modifications were needed.
Bottom mount is hard to fit a large air filter.
After years of hard pulls and what not, it’s still going but I had to change out a leaking AN-6 water line to the turbo. Not much space .
I never removed my secondary cats so I’m unsure if it will sound much like the video kit you have but I can say that what you posted sounded really good. So kudos 👏 to that person who fabbed that for you.
Maybe consider running a turbo oil feed filter on some these cars exspecially the ones with expensive turbos, running a bov and upgrading to a full 3" exhaust?
Thats not a bad idea at all.
If that's what Christmas looks like in my 30s, I'm ready.
nice sounding n54❤ good videos too👌
Yes, thank you
S**t. I never thought about left or right hand drive when looking at parts. Good thing im not at that stage yet.
Fine if you are LHD, if you are RHD, basically nothing fits.......
Good morning from Boston MA USA
Slick kit! Congratulations
I got the email, I can’t wait to hear a nice sounding N54 and that kit is just ridiculous 🤑🤑🤑
Yeah blew my mind when I first heard it. Couldn’t believe it was an n54
Yeah it sounded awesome in the video, imagine it in real life 🤩 and your going to have it!!! Yesssss
Hello question no shipping to United States?
is it worth going single with stock fueling system? i have stage 2 lpfp
Jake, please help Andrew fit his turbo kit.
Very keen to see how this turns out, might just need to get one for my E92 335i
Wow. That's a very nice kit! Probablythis kit is also ready for a left hand driven 335i? Dutch regards, Nico.
I think has made a small change to the mani which will allow a different dump pipe, but the LHD kit is very similar.
That kit looks awesome !
He has put so much time in to. Can’t what to hear it running!
Guys, ive been wishing i went single turbo ever since i bought my 17ts and replaced the internals with billet and the thrust bearings etc. I might actually sell off the turbos, vargas outlets, vrsf inlets and vrsf catless DPS and buy this or something similar. im currently making 397rwkw with my build on e40 on 23psi but i have index 12s, helix, 2nd lpfp, coils on the way and if i dont hit 450rwkw ill buy this or something close to it (its hard cause im in Vic so i cant just drive into simply tuning =[ lol ) and sell all my stuff 100% ive been seeing too many single turbo n54 videos and i have so many regrets, 1 blown engine later, ive spent almost 25k without including the price of the car and damn i could of built a monster!!!! Owell, first time you do something no matter how much research and reviews you look at you always have regrets!
are upgraded twins blowing engines because of too much torque in low RPMs? I'm still stock turbos but trying to consider which direction to go. Was looking at the DAW Stage 2+ hybrids.
This is a very true and heartfelt comment. Man the journey is painful sometimes. I’m at about 40k in mods on my e92. It never ends. Make sure you take the time to enjoy what it is now.
@@racker5108 I believe i had a faulty injector which was leaking and caused detonation in cyl 4, The mechanic i bought the new motor from with installation said he would open my motor and tell me exactly what happened but all he did was text "cracked piston and piston rings" and nothing else. I did have MHD shift bog delete and xhp drag mode active and was hitting rev limiter in 3rd and 4th gear so not sure. Not the best archeology on my part but i just was happy to give up my blown engine and $3300 for a 128k km motor installed with warranty and didnt ask too many questions and he threw in a free pos injector for cyl 4. I did just spend about 4-5k buying the last of my purchases aswell as m3 arms and an LSD and i think im done until i do what the boys did and go budget built motor and sell off all the twins gear and components and single it up.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeah it makes me sad sometimes thinking about what ive spent and what i could have done but as you know learning takes time, money and effort. I did go 17t's because of you guys primarily and actually looked for an e90 with wastegate rattle and snagged one for $7500. Came with 240k kms but at this point ive replaced everything lol. Lifes just too short tho brother, we have to enjoy the time we have and unfortunately for us and our families it's cars but at least we can get the kids and family involved on race day! haha. Big props guys, keep it up! Im never planning to sell because of the $$ spent and i bet you arent either but i will say everybody looking in amazement and asking you questions when you make as much power as we do does feel awesome!
@@racker5108 pull timing under 4k rpm on big hybrids. I can show you 2 built motors with spun bearings and bent rods because i had 14 degrees timing at 24 psi on full e85. you can pull a few degrees of timing but ultimately, get the most of the hybrids while you can, they never last.
Holly shit! That's an insane manifold. It sounds better than a Ferrari
Alright, i'm going to stop you right there.
That’s proper 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
What happened to that other guy that was with you when you first started this page?
Its my brother Dave. Unfortunately the youtube videos cost an insane amount of money to produce. We spent over $80k last year in parts and equipment and made about $20k. David has had to focus on our other business which does actually make money. Meanwhile im over here living my best life with your lot. Im enjoying it while it lasts anyway.
@@ZeroTo60Tube tag teaming it!
Why can't I find n54 developments on fb?? Interested in this kit. Based in UK
Sorry for the delay. So offical business name is jmc tuning. jmctuning.com they updated the Facebook group.
All cool but doing equal length does nothing to spool. My G35-900 makes 20psi at 3000rpm in a 1.06 housing on my DG single kit, testing it also did 36psi at 3800 but that's to high of pressure only flowing around 60lb/min so 28psi is the current boost making 806awhp with 8° timing
Can you clarify that? You are saying a proper designed equal length twin scroll manifold will not spool faster than a non equal length? Also would love to see your logs and some more info on your setup. You are spooling faster than 17ts. My 17ts cant make 20psi at 3000rpm with out brake boosting.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Excuse me for my late response. I'm horrible at them, was actually watching your new exhaust leak video and thought. Oh I need to reply. Anyways my point is that once there's pressure, exhaust pulsing doesn't matter has much in a twin scroll manifold. The pulses are already spaced far enough apart that any gains are very very small 1% or less which is very unnoticeable.
@@N54God666 Appreciate the reply, dont worry about them being late haha. Can you upload some vids of your car spooling? Keen to see it doing its thing.
Ooh that sound 🙂
Yeah, man a proper equal length mani is special.
Awesome kit the manifold is next level. I hope it makes good power early.
From seeing his logs it spools early af with the 3582 twin scroll, but that’s the point of this type of mani. Expecting a bit more lag on my setup. My concern is top end power.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Why are you worried about top end? Should make power shouldnt it?
@@Zalle335 because I want closer to 1000hp. More than this was designed for. I may go stand alone soon so I can monitor exhaust pressure
@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeah sorry commented before watching the entire video. Insane if a 3528r can spool as the flowmaxes, my china 3582r is quite laggy
@@ZeroTo60Tube It will be awesome.
That sounds a little VQ, doesn't it? I need to go listen to some old supra clips but very different to what I thought it would sound like from title alone.
Would you recommend buying 17ts that come with rebuild kit for $350 at the door? There’s quite a few of “slightly used” China turbos for sub 500
Absolutely not. New or dont bother.I I have seen viv turbos which have blown and they will generally damage the housing. When you rebuild them, they wont spool like a new set. You will have a ultra laggy set of china turbos. However this is how viv do most of the warranty. They send people the parts to do a cheap repair.
@@ZeroTo60Tube always appreciate the input thanks for saving me again haha
Will this work for a LHD? I just ordered some twins but this looks awesome. It sounds so damn good man 💪🏼🔥
It will yes.
fricking powerful kit
Omg that sound!!!!!
What turbo kit is this exactly? Can you get the same sound from a n55/b58?
This is the N54 developments kit.
@@ZeroTo60Tube thank you very much, do you think I can achieve the same sound on a n55/b58? Also I can’t seem to find the turbo kit.
@@VincentNguyens yes absolutely. however calculating tube length and diameter is key, i have heard a few "equal length" systems on N54 but they are not made with this much effort and they dont sound the same. This is with 6 or 7 mm per cyl. This would work on N55 but I have a feeling valve size is different on the B58.
@@ZeroTo60Tube I see thank you very much for getting back to me in such a timely manner, im currently looking at a 440i with a b58 but I don’t want to get it if I can’t achieve this sound 😅
Andrew, what is the name of the company providing the kit? Didn't catch it
Hi Paul. Sorry its facebook.com/n54developments

He should make a rhd equal length kit!! I would 10/10 buy it
Ummmm this is RHD....... however it will also suit LHD
@@ZeroTo60Tube how much power can the turbo kit support?
@@ZeroTo60Tube also I meant to say LHD🤦♂️🤦♂️
I need this. What turbo you planning on running?
A copy of the G35-1050
Very nice mate that will be fun but you definitely going to break a piston or two
:|
i really need that turbo kit flanged in n53 for the 8hp drag car. ill see what a g42-1450 does on it :D
I’m concerned about top end. But I have been told if I can max this manifold out he will make one for a g42
@@ZeroTo60Tube tell him i have a cnc ported n53 head, inconel valves, ferrea springs, 299/284 +11mm cams. the n53 head has larger exhaust ports, larger valves and just flows a bunch more air than the n54. if he can make me a custom manifold tuned for the head i would pay him his weight in gold, or gasoline (same price right now)
adam, if you can read this. i need a g42-1200/1450 version of this for my cnc ported n53 cylinder head with custom valves. i need it yesterday. lol
What kit is this? And where can I buy it!
JMC Tuning
What’s your opinion on a air to water cooling system on the N54? Seen a lot of progress recently I’m looking to try fitting one from the M on mine.
I personally don't like water to air. I know the S55s have it, but the fastest one in the world doesn't. Water to air is ok, but you will eventually encounter heat soak if you are making ok power. We could never run even the most efficient water to air system at our roll race events. Would be ok for drag racing if we ran an ice box and refilled the ice before each pass to cool the water system that way...... When you think of the heating and cooling as basically moving energy around. The extra time it takes to move that heat energy out of the car with a water to air system is where the efficiency goes out the window. This is when you are running the cars at 700+hp of course. Not so much of an issue at 500hp. That being said, please let me know how yours plays out. The amount of heat energy you are trying to manage will be a big factor and it may work really well for you.
If your turbo selection is laggy, then air to water might solve your issue because it shortens the length from turbo to intake manifold by many feet. This was the purpose of BMWs S55 engine using it. But if you have a smaller single turbo then it should respond like twins.
Like 0-60 mentioned, it’s a trade off for what you want to do. If you like drag racing it will be good. You can cool it off.
Is there a version of this kit for LHD cars? Sounds beautiful 😍
There is yes
@@ZeroTo60Tube where do I order the kit? Or shop for it?
It would make an amazing sounding car with a single exit titanium exhaust

Ahh yes sch40 pipe is heavy stuff.. looks like a really nice kit be good to see it make you car move along 😁
I gotta do something to keep up with your weapon.
@@ZeroTo60Tube lol yeah it is getting pretty fast now 😊
I reckon 5000 euro isn't a bad price at all. Around $8000 to have a 900hp+ car is pretty damn awesome.
I dont think it includes turbo with this price
Correct, no turbo or waste gates, which are bloody expensive. To be honest for the work thats gone in to the kit $5000 is cheap. Adam wont make these for long, he is doing it for the love at the moment. I know a few turbo kit business's and most places would charge double to produce this product as a viable business. That being said the $5000euro was still a huge price for me to stomach, when i am used to twin setups and cars in general that cost less.
@@ZeroTo60Tube Yeh for sure, it's definitely not 'cheap' but for what it is and what you showed in the video; it looks like really nice stuff and i'd say it's definitely worth it for someone chasing big numbers and power.
Is there gonna be a equal length manifold for LHD cars?
Yes sure is
Where can I buy this from? The Facebook link is broken.
Sorry I missed this. JMC Tuning is the updated Facebook page.
Where can I get this kit ???
Have you considered making a community discord server? I’d be willing to join!
I have quite a few people ask. My issue is time. I focus on the zeroto60 telegram chat first, then youtube comments. And most days i will send around 100-300 replies. Which takes an insane amount of time. This is why i don't do instagram any more. I just cant keep up with the people tyring to contact me.
Maybe I will switch to N54 one day and build a single turbo kit haha. Kind of miss building those)
The injectors are going to be what kills this platform. I bought new Index 12s two years ago at 1200 bucks, now they are double or triple that.
I might have missed it in a previous video but what are you planning to do to the trans in the 17t or soon to be single turbo car?
It’s dct so if it’s clutches are good it should be ok for now. However the box has 200,000ks on it
@@ZeroTo60Tube i swear i remember you talking about being on the limit with the power the 17t car was making? especially seeing as you're planning on putting a g35 1050 on lol looks like some upgraded clutch packs or new ones will be on order real soon, cant imagine a 200,000k trans is going to be happy with way more power than what was already a butt of power lol, either way mad props from getting the turbo kit, its completely changed my mind what i was going to do with my 335i as im rhd too and frankly cant find better a sounding, well thought out better equipped kit anywhere else. will defo be ordering one later this year.
I never thought about this being an issue for me, I'm from nz and want to go single turbo.. do you know any other opinions that are cheaper? This is way out of my price range
A diy kit, will net you probably more. Its mental how much it costs to put a single on one of these things. This kit will be more expensive soon.

Lol Andrew, you're dead right, when we get to this age, these are the sorts of birthday presents we buy ourselves. Not sure when your birthday actually is, but Happy Birthday, mine is also coming up this week. The kit itself looks good, equal length manifolds are a big key to getting everything working in unison, something I am struggling with to get done for one of my projects to be fair, it's a bit of a lost art these days unfortunately. Looking forward to seeing the car you have in hiding, have a couple of suspicions as to what it could be. If you ever want some quick photos of what I've got here, or as usual if you ever get stuck, flick me an email.
I actually turn....30 something in may... wow. im getting old. And yeah, i feel adam has done this for love, not money. Every shop i know who makes similar, simply says it todays age, its not worth the effort. Not on a BMW. Different it was a Lambo or something, but people generally dont want to pay for the extra effort to make something like this.
I want to try the 8hp kit to on my N54 then i will be the first in the netherlands
