After driving for like 4ever yesterday. I was able to score this Garrett turbo to replace mine! I’m so stoked! Now i just need a new wastegate actuator which I’m trying to decide if I want the Turbosmart or Forged actuator. Decisions decisions.. 🤔

I figured I’d throw some pics in from yesterday too! It was quite the journey!

I do want to give a big THANK YOU to all the people that helped me get a new turbo. You’re all amazing and I couldn’t do it without you! I have THE best followers ever and y’all make everything worth it! So thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Building a 650 Horsepower BMW N54 Engine

Known for its performance, engineering, and widespread adoption among Bimmer enthusiasts, the N54 engine marked a significant milestone in BMW’s history. The N54 engine was introduced by BMW in 2006 and was produced until 2016 most notably in cars like the 135i Coupe and Convertible (E82/E88), 335i Coupe, Convertible, Sedan, and Wagon (E90/E91/E92/E93), 535i Sedan and Wagon (E60/E61), and the Z4 sDrive35i (E89). This engine really marked BMW’s return to turbocharging in a production inline-six engine. The N54 is a 3.0-liter inline-six engine featuring twin turbo’s. The use of twin turbos helps the engine deliver strong low-end torque and impressive horsepower output across the rpm range. The N54 was one of the first BMW engines to feature direct fuel injection. To support direct injection, the N54 engine features a high-pressure fuel system capable of delivering fuel at pressures of up to 2900 psi (200 bar for the non Americans). The N54 also incorporates BMW’s VANOS system for both the intake and exhaust camshafts. This variable valve timing technology allows for precise control over valve timing, optimizing engine performance, responsiveness, and fuel efficiency. Like a lot of current BMW engines, the N54 features an aluminum block and cylinder head, which helps reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity and heat dissipation properties, but be careful of overheating, because once that aluminum warps, there’s no going back.

From the factory, the N54 makes around 300 to 335 horsepower (depending on the application), and torque ranging from 300 to 370 lb-ft. These numbers make it a popular platform for BMW boys who want to build it to the moon. The N54 has gotten a significant following because of its potential for significant power gains with relatively simple bolt ons. So let’s talk about these bolt on’s and how to bring the N54 for 650 horsepower using parts sold on our website!

1.) Charge Pipe and Blow Off Valve

First is going to be an aluminum charge pipe with a blow off valve, from brands Active Autowerks, CTS turbo, and Vargas

An upgraded aluminum charge pipe has more durability than the stock plastic that comes in cars with N54’s. It also allows for improved airflow, and better heat dissipation, making them perfect for forced induction setups. Their ability to withstand higher boost pressures and reduce turbulence improves performance and reliability, while also looking so much better than plastic.

Installing a blow-off valve on an N54 can help maintain consistent boost pressure and protect the turbo’s from damage. When the throttle plate closes suddenly, such as during gear shifts or when lifting off the accelerator, the compressed air trapped in the charge pipes can create a pressure wave. A blow-off valve releases this excess pressure, preventing it from damaging the turbo’s and ensuring smoother performance and longevity of the turbocharged system.

  2.) Cold Air Intake

Second is going to be a cold air intake from brands like Burger Motorsports, AFE, and GruppeM

Adding a cold air intake to the N54 engine will increase airflow, giving it improved performance and a way better sound. By reducing the temperature of the air going in to your engine, it enhances efficiency and potentially fuel economy. A cold air intake is a fairly easy upgrade to install, making it a great choice for people just wanting to get their feet wet, or have sick induction noises.

3.) Fuel Pump

Next is an upgraded fuel pump, from brands like Vargas

Upgrading the fuel system in an N54  is crucial if you’re wanting to gain more horsepower and have a higher torque output, especially when running higher boost or using aftermarket turbos. A stronger fuel system ensures the right amount of fuel delivery to meet the engine’s increased demand, preventing it from fuel starvation and potential engine damage. Upgrading your fuel system can also allow for more precise tuning, maximizing the engine’s potential performance while maintaining reliability.

  4.) Front Mounted Intercooler

After that is a front mounted intercooler, from brands like Wagner, Forge motorsports, and Evolution racewerks

Upgrading the intercooler for an N54 gives you better cooling efficiency. It reduces intake air temperatures for increased power output and improved throttle response. It also helps prevent heat soak during hard driving, giving you consistent power. An upgraded intercooler also helps when you add other modifications to your engine.

Intercooler Links:

  5.) Upgraded Turbo

Then a turbo upgrade from Brands like The Turbo Engineers, Vargas, and CTS Turbo

Upgrading to twin turbos on an N54 engine can significantly increase power potential. This is the key ingredient to getting up to 650 Horsepower. The stock turbo’s on an N54 can hold up to around 400 horsepower before blowing themselves up, so upgrading them will be a necessity to seeing higher horsepower gains. Upgrading your turbos also gives the engine better responsiveness and torque delivery throughout the RPM range, resulting in you having more fun.

Turbo Upgrade Links:

TTE- https://www.vividracing.com/tte-turbo-new-tte600-n54-upgrade-turbocharger-bmw-135i-lhd-20072011-p-153639504.html Vargas- https://www.vividracing.com/vtt-n54-stage-rhd-titaniumfits-all-n54-models-lhdrhd-p-155987572.html CTS- https://www.vividracing.com/cts-turbo-stage-turbo-upgrade-bmw-335i-20072011-p-155962671.html

And finally you’ll need a tune to wrap it all up and make sure everything works.

Tuning the N54 after installing upgraded turbos, a new fuel system, a cold air intake, an upgraded intercooler, and a charge pipe is crucial to optimizing performance and making engine operates safely. A custom tune allows for proper calibration of the engine’s air-fuel ratio, ignition timing, boost levels, and fuel delivery, allowing you to maximize power and drivability while making sure a piston doesn’t go flying out of your hood.

Overall, the N54 is an amazing engine, and it’s popular for a reason. Now, all of these parts are just suggestions. There are plenty of other ways to build an N54 and get upwards of 500 horsepower!

#whatatimetobealive @sohomotorsports *NEW VHR HP RECORD* . Here is the dyno run from the record horsepower run as we were able to do multiple passes over 1000 whp and 25+ psi . If you pay attention in the video you will see the bottom gauge on the a pillar says 4 psi. . This gauge is monitoring coolant pressure in the engine and that was the highest pressure we saw throughout the dyno . The following day we took this car to @dragwayrockingham and did multiple passes as these horsepower levels and the highest pressure we saw in the coolant system was 8 psi. . To give you an idea a stock vhr when boosted or gets up to temperature will 14 to 16 psi. . The issue with headgasket lift has been resolved with our motor packages and will be tested extensively throughout the week @tx2k . Final numbers: 🐎 1084 rwhp 📈 726 ftlbs . Boost: 32.4 psi . ⛽: @ignite E90 . Tuning: @ecutek_technologies . *Minor slip uptop during this pull* .
