oh. finally a comment where someone understands the single exit exhaust.
@@ravenXO not many people knows. Gonna keep mine single exit with an Ls3 🙈🙈
@@ravenXO could you explain the single exhaust?

The point is it only makes sense on paper. People who buy n52 usually buy them for reliability and because they’re basically the last na straight 6, supercharging them kills both birds with one stone. Also, I doubt that magnesium block and forced induction is a good combo for a daily. But either way, great video keep on doing those, I love when they randomly pop up.
Nitrous is a much better option on these motors only use it every month or so and have 100 wet shot and there pretty decent
@@jakefromstatefarm653 i’ve never looked into nitrous but i’ve heard about it of course since i was a baby, i was wondering if you’ve done it and if you could maybe give more information on it, like what kit you used, what results it gave you
Turbo is better and cheaper the ess supercharged is ass
@@SaifDrives they come out with new set ups every few years they just came out with a new set up I can’t remember what it is but I haven’t used nitrous in probably over 10 years my some uses it tho I could ask him he knows a lot more about it than me hes actually done it to a n52
@@SaifDrives he said he uses a nitrous control he said that it’s the most reliable set up you can use because it lets off the nitrous any time it needs to and it knows if it’s running to rich and bottle temperature

Foul swoop? It’s fell 😊 no shade just letting you know ❤
@@BrainCellularwhat are you on buddy
@@BrainCellular??????
@@BrainCellularoh my god it is, no way i’ve been saying it wrong all these years
Just buy a 335i and turn up the boost it’s that easy don’t waste your time trying to supercharge a 328i it’s not worth it
Got mine at 87xxx for 3400
Owning a 335i and modding it is a nightmare but supercharging a 328i is worse
Even if u got it for 1.5k shouldn’t upgrade ?
Exactly, you can find some n54 cars for dirt cheap if you don’t mind working on them.
^this 1000000% ! For the time and money to do all that and then some to a 328i, the 335i already has everything you need with much more capability - drop a simple stage 1 tune and you're set. Of course, an N55 is going to be much more work down the line in terms of maintenance, however, if you keep up with it than you'll never have an issue. If you're set on a 328i for whatever reason, go with the N51 (manual) and you'll be good for years to come.
Might as well get a 335 at that point and call it a day lol
He said 350-400whp that’s more then a stock nf4 and wile still lower miles
@@damarion3155 I get the low mileage aspect of it but at 5k you’re getting over 100k miles on the car. Plus it don’t have the internals as strong as a N54….. I agree with Dee. Mind as well just get the n54 a couple bolt on and a tune will have you over 400hp without dumping 3k into it
@@damarion3155 lol it already comes at 305 hp stock an you can add 90 Hp for $500 a basic tune (+75hp and Cones +15hp) and that’s just a basic set up. N54 already has forged interals and upgraded rings. And you can find 335is for around the same price. Mine was $7500 and 80k miles.
@@CrisLikesCars yep exactly!people just don’t get it
@@damarion3155 except the dude has no idea what he’s talking about, highest n52 came with 230 ish hp… you need 480+ crank hp to hit 400 wheel, you’re not doubling your hp on 6 pounds of boost lmao.
I own a E92 328i with the N52 i do not recommended supercharging and waste your money the motor will go. Just do active autowerke headers, custom tune, and nice exhaust and enjoy it. Very reliable bmw motor but it cannot handle supercharge and will experience huge issues.
just say it bruh she blows harder then your GF
Can I tune it stock?
@@trickydancemoves4986 yes u can depends on what type of tune I have a DP tune on my BMW Z4 but it’s not for power is just for sound
How to send n52 rods out the block on a budget
I spun a bearing and I'm stock. all my homies hate n52. n54 is where it's at.
Just swap it out for a steel one
No way 6 psi will make 400 hp. Stock they come with a single stage intake manifold so you actually want the 3 stage manifold from the 2006 330i. That will make 260 hp. Adding 6 psi of boost will at best add 80 hp.
this guy definitely rocking the race car bed
This mean really said "daily it" and then "slam it" in the same sentence.
Do not boost a n52. Daily a n52.
Can I do these mods and just not include the psi like just the intake to get to like 272 at least
that’s like saying don’t turbo any honda engine like wtff lmao they’re reliable but if you want to go fast you can boost or add a blower to it and have it still be somewhat reliable assuming everything was installed correctly
@@royxl9506get it the 330i stage 3 manifold, headers, better intake and obviously tune it and you should be up there in the numbers, headers should add maybe 10-20 horsepower? the stage 3 manifold gives you the power of the 330i which is 260 i believe.
N51 comes with stage 3 intake manifold.
@@Beaver_beater Well depending on what model he has, it might be an N52 which does not. I have an N51 though and did not know it had a stage 3 manifold just detuned. good to know
3500 on a budget 😭 fuck
that kit also costs $4,795, he straight up lied about the price in the video lmao
3500 on a high mileage 335i Auto is easier to find got shit trans, if u find a manual you're golden... as long as its stock and engine turns over.. mileage dont fucking matter...
I have a n52 and I’ve looked deeply into forced induction because it seems like the best way to create some power but the sad reality is that the engine n tranny cannot handle much boost at all and it would inevitably be cheaper to just get a n54
True I own a 530i ‘N52’ mainly for reliability and the e60 style looks clean 🔥
The n54 tranny can’t hold that much ether you would know this if you actually did research unless your talking about the mt both at im the 328 and 335 would need clutches the trans in the 335 will start slipping around 550/600 whp with stock clutches lucky for us the e9x parts are not expensive anymore these clutches are only 900 dollars now the labor is a different story tho
@@ericroper380 n54 can handle significantly more than n52. n54 was the first bmw engine to have a turbo so they made sure that the components could handle way more power than the car put down just incase something was weak and overlooked.
400ish is the safest amount of power for a N51/N52 engine, aiming hire than that could be risky
@@vanitysolutions obviously guy did you not read the comment
Boosting any N/A car will always be a shot in the dark, even if you got good compression and leakdown numbers before you bought it. There's not a crazy amount of tuning support for these engines for boost either. These magnesium blocks are really a shot in the dark when it comes to boost. For the money it's worth getting a 335i. He forgot to mention the fact you'll need a better fuel pump and injectors for this aswell... Atleast with an n54/55 it's built for boost, and it only takes basic bolt ons to get moderate power figures. Going down the n52 route will only be a rabbit hole of issues once you go with boost
Theoretically on paper it seems simple. But wait till you buy the car and have it sitting on a lift on jackstands or a lift because the build ends up costing you way more then you expected. There's alot of supporting mods that you need to go down this route and without them the car will blow up in the first month it's on the road.
3 stage intake manifold is a better option for balanced performance for the n52 and it's dyno proven that the n54 manifold and 3sim have similar stats on paper. Only difference is that the n54 manifold has a bit better top end but bad low end torque.
Do you actually have any clue what stage means lmao? Learn cfm bud thats what actual racers go by
@@Paul2.4T your statement doesn't prove shit lmao try harder 🤣. it's called a 3 stage intake manifold literally what everyone calls it for the n52 engine cause it had 2 disa valves to pull in more air in the low and top end lmao stop your nonsense. Again the only difference between that and the n54 manifold is the 54 manifold intake just has a bit more top end.
@@Paul2.4T if you knew that then you wouldn't make goofy statements like you just did imbecile.
There’s generally reasons people say cars don’t have potential. Just because it’s seems good when you build it in your head on Google doesn’t mean it’s actually a good idea.
Budget build is not possible for an n54. If you dont have the money, dont build cars. Simple as that.
Imo the N52 should be left stock. Best bet is just changing out suspension components and maybe brakes but that’s pretty much it. It’s great the way it is.
most people saying n52 is designed to be reliable not for performance. some light mod like exhuast and suspension control arm parts would be good enough. do you agree?
Any BMW NA straight 6 should always be the preferred choice for powerplant, regardless of age. It's BMW's specialty for a hundred years now. They pretty much perfected them before introducing DISA and VANOS, and that stupid oil pump in the M5x engines, but there's a $12 fix for that. I'll take a 328i over a 335i any day. 🚀
Yea specialty for being somewhat reliable lmao if you wanna build something just go for the 335i much better bang for buck ive owned both
@@Tacnicall oh absolutely if someone wants to build 335i has most of the work already cut out. I just like my cars being ever so slightly more reliable. I'm m54 all the way.
sorry can you elaborate on that 12 dollar fix? like im about to get my first bmw and first n52 e90 328i
Lol 5k? yeah right dudes are trying to sell 2000 civic for 15k lol
I Just got a 328i for 5.2k 70k miles
Bought my uncles for $3500. It’s at 129k rn. Looks ugly but runs like a dream
Will 2006 328 parts fit an 06 325i ?
Maybe I'm just old....but isn't the appeal to an N52 the fact that it's NA (and reliable)? N52's are perfect as they are...don't do this kids lol.
Yes, get an n54 if you want to build for power
Correct. The N52 is a wonderful motor, especially when you remove the resonator and muffler. Very burbly and characterful. Also very much bulletproof.
@@jamesmarshall4567 I love the sound of my 28i with a muffler delete, I was thinking of taking the resonators out too
Yeah I'm thinking about feening for familys' cars for my first few years of driving and saving up for one of these. I would never boost it tho, just a three stage manifold and tune with an exhaust
Dont actually do this, the N52 is not designed for that you will ruin your car and waste money doing this.
It'll be just fine if done correctly..
@@Arrozconchopsticks no it won’t they are not designed to handle boost
@@rxzesereniti9750 yes they will.
@@rxzesereniti9750a guy has done it correctly and his car is running fine
@@grizzkhalifa899 for now. Just get the n54 🤦
“every car has potential”🤓
potential to blow
The 328/330 is my favorite e90 but it’s not meant to be a crazy tuner. Its a killer daily and they run forever. One of those “better to drive a slow car fast” kind of cars that you can beat on all the time - a 200k mile modded 328i owner
If you want to get 60 or 70 hp, you ll need a full custom admission and exhaust system, custom manifold headers (around $1000) and a chip tuning and a decat or a sport catalyst. And if you want to make it more fun also a Quaffe LSD. Also, if you have the n52 engine, you ll need the manifold from 330i, and if you have the n51 engine, you ll already have the 3 stage manifold.
That’s the best way to make reliable power with an n52. Hit the nail on the head.
I’m sorry the misinformation in this guys videos is absolutely ridiculous finding a low mileage n52 for 5k with low miles is just not plausible especially since even one’s with 170k are still going for barely less then that. Not to mention the supercharger kit he displayed is almost 5k in itself (4750)
Dude is back in 2010
I swear you’re the best
I've seen a daily supercharged 328i with over 200k on the dash. At that moment I knew I was safe
What site can he find A CLEAN BMW for 5k I need some of what he’s smoking
I found my 2007 335XI 6MT for 4500 dollars, clean title. Just have to know where and how to look :)
Exactly I got mine a couple years ago 75000 miles 5000
Just found the supercharger kit. Anyone else see the price at $5k?
Just buy a 335 this video is stupid he spent more money on the same looking car to have a slower supercharger
They went up in price. I’ve had one in my cart for 3 years and just noticed the price jump
@@trololazore bruh 3 years
Ok lord farqaud
Thanks man
The n52 internals can't handle that much boost . You'll blow your engine before hitting 400hp
Facts. N54 has forged rods and bolts I believe.
Also your brakes and suspension are shit on the 328i…. Don’t get me started on the overheating and fuel demand issues you’ll run into
Actually, the N52 can handle arround 450 before blowing up, what's actually holding it back if the shitty trans
@@shreddiz9550are we talking auto or manual? I have a manual and I believe it’s made by ZF, probably good for more power
@@BVonBuescherwhat are you talking about I know serval people with 400hp n52 they don’t blow till about 450whp on stock internals.
@@BMWROYAL what a reliable margin
I have one of these 2009 BMW 328i xdrive 6 speed.
Don’t get the N54 intake, get the 3 stage intake, it’s better than the N54.
Also the tune costs more than that, just getting a basic stage 1 tune is roughly $480. There’s a couple other things you need to do as well to make this all work nicely.
Also not every 328 is a N52 most are SULEV N51 which already has the 3 stage intake so you’re worse off going with the N54 intake.
To be honest if you’re gonna run a supercharger you’re going to need an n54 intake manifold to hold more boost Even though you can run a 3 stage intake manifold if you want it to but you’ll gain the Low end torque A lot faster with the n54 intake manifold with the tune from stage FP you’ll gain that power 👌🏾
Literally taking your advice currently 🤙🏼
Do a 128i next!!!😊
There are a few options when it comes to upgrading the performance of your BMW 328. Here are some things you can consider:
1. Turbocharger: One of the most popular ways to increase the power of your BMW 328 is to add a turbocharger. This will increase the amount of air going into the engine and allow more fuel to be burned, resulting in more power. You will need to ensure that the build of your car and engine is compatible with a turbo.
2. Engine upgrade: Another option to increase the power of your car is to upgrade your engine. This can involve replacing the pistons, camshafts, connecting rods, and other engine components with high-performance aftermarket parts.
3. ECU Remapping: This is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to increase the horsepower of your car. By remapping the car’s ECU (engine control unit), you can alter the fuel and air mixture that gets injected into the engine, which can lead to more power.
4. Exhaust System: Replacing the stock exhaust system with an aftermarket version can also increase horsepower. A high-performance exhaust system can reduce backpressure and increase the flow of exhaust gases, resulting in more power.
It’s important to note that upgrading your car’s performance can require extensive work and investment, and it’s recommended to consult with a professional mechanic to ensure that your car can safely handle the modifications.
I loved my n52, but if you’re going to drop 5k+ on a supercharger kit and then extra costs on building the block + the tune, you might as well put the money into an N54 or N55. Doesn’t quite make sense to do all that work for a NA variant, you put more money into the car than what it’s worth at that point lol
people keep saying this but the cost of turbos and injectors alone will kill what you just stated
Valve stem has entered the chat.
What if you found a not so low mile one for dirt cheap and now it’s sitting on your driveway next to your f80?😂
Yo Jacob I just found your channel and dig your style, man. You about it! Love your sleeper tips. Hope you can surprise us on the next one, something nobody was expecting.

I just bought on
I highly doubt you got a “CLEAN “ e92 for that price how many miles it’s fro sure automatic no way manual is that cheap and what about maintenance records how Many stuff has bin replaced ?
I already have one 🤔 god Im gonna regret this 🤷♂️ oh well
Yes u will because they are shit to mod and make no power😂
If you just turbo it and don't fuck up you'll be fine
Don't do it bro
I was thinking of getting one and putting the 4.2 L inline 6 from my trail blazer into it and turboing it so it’s actually reliable bmw
You made me buy one after today
E90 335d-
Bought mine at 92k for $5000
$600 maintenance / repairs
$900 tune
$720 exhaust
$200 other deletes
$250 downpipe
$400 trans tune
355 whp, 580 torque. And the most reliable e90. $8100ish total cost.
Or, get a 335i with an N54, get an intercooler, dual cone intake, and tune and put down 400hp easy on 93 octane.
Cannot stress this enough^^ upgraded fuel pumps and a custom tune and you can see 500 hp at the wheels pretty easy
I wonder what you drive since you’re so knowledgeable lol
Yeah def not a supercharged 328.. BuT iT's So EaSy, ChEaP, aNd ReLiAbLe ! ! !
What about a fuel pump, exhaust, injectors if they don’t come with the kit, tires
"A clean low mile one for 5 grand"
Saw a 128i with 90k miles for 5500 here in Orlando. Unfortunately it was sold before I could get off the shitter.
The n54 manifold has no ports for the injectors... maybe if you got a port injection kit it would work
Definitely gonna spend a lot more then that to get 400 if u want it to survive the first dyno test
N/A i6 feels good stock
A 335i costs less than all that and makes more power
Spoken like someone whos never done it 😂
Ess kits start at 4500.
5-6 psi and you're looking at 230- 270whp.
Intercooler or meth injection , blower upgrade and around 15 psi is needed to make "well over 400rwhp".
Yes u can modify this
but its not meant to modify its meant to be a lightly modified daily
but again your money do what u want
but N54 was meant to be the play car
Iv got a 2008 528i with the N52. Great Daily reliable engine. I can say without a doubt if you supercharge it youll 100% blow the engine and most likely the transmission to go along with it. If your adamant in getting another 75 to maybe 85 Hp out of the engine its way safer to just . 330 Intake manifold, Cold Air intake, Headers, exhaust, AA Turn and Tune for ZF trans. Even doing all that youll for sure want to already have done a bunch as far as coils, Water pump, fuel injectors, brakes, engine internals and suspension etc, etc, to compensate for the added horsepower and torque being applied to the engine and chassis of the car. Plus what you spend in parts and labour or headache in doing it yourself you'll have spent more money or just as much if you bought an 535, 550 even and M3.

All that after doing your valve cover and gasket and oil filter housing gasket and oil pan gasket and then your fuel pump will go bad bc it has to work harder and of course ignition coils too, but at that point might as well replace the soarkplugs too and yeah Bmw gotta love it
So I’m new to cars, is this considered budget?
The N54 manifold isn't a direct fit on the N52 head and the alignment needs to be adjusted by modifying the parts (perhaps a machine shop). Also the N54 manifold has no hole to bolt the PCV (elbow with heater)
Skip the 328 and go for a 128/125 with the N52, remap to full potential (around 270hp) and enjoy
Only Americans care about straight line speed

That bmw for 5 gz has potentional and a blown head gasket
in Germany thats about 1/3 of what I would need here
For the supercharger kit instead can I do like a turbo charger for it?
N52 don’t like turbos have weak internals if you want turbo of the same year go 335i with n54 come twin turbo or you can do big single and push 500 easy or 7-800 with about 10k in mods
