Thank you so much! I'm planning to do the same mod to my 335i and was searching for a overview of the parts numbers needed, so this helps me a lot! Great video, will check out your channel for more helpful 35i content!
Hi there have just found your videos big thumbs up great stuff , I'm running a 470 bhp M135i lci all the work done by myself. I do like the look of the sump and oil pump upgrade I can imagine the bits were quite expensive.
Interested to see if the sump touched the steering rack bolts that protrude slightly? I just did the same job and the sump is catching the rack, so we plan to file the rack slightly and raise the engine with shims by maybe 5mm. How did you get around it, cheers Lee
I had the same issue. I had to grind the rack casing down so there is now a small gap. I’m going to shim the engine mounts to raise the engine slightly also.
Hello, currently have a N55b30m0 with a big boost 3.4 turbo and I’m looking to strengthen the internals. If the tolerances on the crank for the bearings is higher, would you be able to get away with polishing the crank to fit and oversized bearing?
Hey whats up man, just got all the parts for the oil sump conversion just wondering if any modifications to the bedplate is needed? Or where does the scavenging pump go mounted too? I have a 435i N55b30. Thank you again for the info!
Any way to fit the s55 oiling system to an e82 n55? I've heard there's trouble fitting this system to an engine with the hydraulic steering rack pump. Any info/insight would be greatly appreciated :)
Bro need your help !! Do you know if the oil system in the n55 535i is the same as your 135i I am trying to retrofit the same oil pan and oil pump on mine but I am not sure if I need the secondary pump or if I need anything besides the hardware when installed !!!!!
Would there be anything stopping you from just fitting the S55 sump and oil pick up to the original pump? While in your application the complete upgrade is required but for someone looking for a more robust but cheaper solution would that be worthwhile?
To make it worthwhile you’d need to fit the s55 sump and the pickup as they match up and create a seal that doesn’t allow oil out, but yes you could get away with not fitting the oil pump and scavenger pump !
Thibault Bulinckx yes absolutely, to big and you have to tight clearance so your bearings are the wrong size. To small and your clearance is to big so you may need to go up a size on the bearing
flawlessko if it’s just a preventative thing you’d be looking around £1200 that’s what most places charge , however if you have a bottom end failure you are going to need allot more work

Hi! Do you have an update on the build? Did you manage to install the engine? No interference between the frame and the pan?
Sweet!
Hey man! Great stuff! Also doing this mod. Where can I buy the "very expensive, like 60 quid" plug?

It did hit the rack buddy but we spaced the engine up a little
@@fastroadvehiclesolutions awesome thanks 😊
@@fastroadvehiclesolutions we space the passenger side and left the drivers side. All good 👍

@@leetaylor238. how?
What did you do about the pan not having mounting holes for the power steering pump?
Do you have the part number for the ARP bolts used?

Hi Tommy, if you dont mind me asking how much did the parts for the S55 oil system upgrade cost you?

did you figure it out?
Hey, will this work with 2011 n55 first generation?
nice!

What do you put in place of the original oil level sensor when installing the dipstick? System will miss it.
when you ad the dipstick into the oil level sensor do you put the oil level sensor back?
would that oil dip stick guide fit f30 335i n55?

did you ever do it?
some of the parts like the screws? how many do i need? can you please specify them?
Do you know if this could work for the N54?
Google "hydra spool street " Says he's done it and gives a few details and pictures.
Great content man, how's the build going?
Hey , build is almost complete! Car is on the dyno now but struggling to get any content on it atm due to COVID but more is coming !!!
Are your torque specs and clearances specific to the bearings you are using or from bmw? Thank you
Torque is specified by the bolt manufacturer ARP, and shell clearance is specified by the manufacturer
👍
do i really need to have the dip stick? i wanna do the conversion as well
no you can just use the oil level sensor
If the purple wax line would have be to big or to small for you gauge, what would this mean? Would you need to replace something?
Thibault Bulinckx yes absolutely, to big and you have to tight clearance so your bearings are the wrong size. To small and your clearance is to big so you may need to go up a size on the bearing
What is the BMW Part Number on the dipstick?
Hey, Im wondering if this will work for an x drive n55 and if it doesnt why not
Probably because of front differential
Question: Do you need to code out the oil level sensor when using the M235iR dipstick?
Twin Scrolled I would assume so yes , will confirm when back in the car
@@fastroadvehiclesolutions Waiting for it eagerly :D
What’s the rod clearance supposed to be ?
would this work on the f32 f30?
Yes if it has a N55, (435i)
How much labour would it cost to replace the rod bearings please?

Is this an e or f series car
F
The music on while you are talking is really annoying.
Twin Scrolled noted. Thankyou for the feedback
@@fastroadvehiclesolutions Good stuff though man, keep it coming.
