Hey Cameron thanks for making a video on our N52 Turbo kit! We hope it wasn’t to difficult to install as clearances are definitely tight when you add so much into a small area! In terms of your oil feed if you switch it go the other way around you will notice more slack in the line (90° toward the T and straight to the turbo). Excited to see how it ends up running and to see some track driving with it!

By far the best and most detailed turbo N52 documentation I've seen online, GJ

cant wait for part 2

lol he said Ta Ta Torqued down😂😂the edit threw me off

Awesome video man. super informative

Good effort love the content mate keep it up 👌

Nice to know this kit isn’t a scam site

I daily a 325i and I have a BRZ I take to the track from time to time and use as a fun car. Now I’m having other ideas haha!

I will absolutely NOT be doing this, more power to you but making this work looks like hell but you seem to be level headed I hope to see some pulls 🤝🤝

Just got into cars not too long ago I got a 528i I like my car would like to keep it but turbo it and stuff. This is pretty helpful and wish I found you sooner

Thanks for making a good video well appreciated ❤

Let's go!!! 🙌🏽

yes yes yess u gotta keep going with these videos 🚦

Omg thanks 4 this video!!!!

Very well detailed write up/video. After watching this im leaning more and more to a rear mount set up. There is so much room where the factory muffler goes and the turbo really dosent help with a allready cramped engine bay

Was waiting for this!! Doing the same in one month

Im too excited for this build becuase i want to try this first before LS swap my 328i

Absolutly love the video. But that better be one damn good car to spend almost 6k on a turbo kit for n52

Hell yes!

Very very good video

Bro not many people have videos doing a N52 turbo good job I would like to know around how much does turbo kit go for thanks bro

Finally

That is one big friggin turbo

Im not sure if the n52 has any forged internals like the n54. But I do know that boosting a car that was not manufactured for boost is a labor of love & absolutely not cost effective. The limited power you can make just dosent justify the dollars youll spend IMO. But building, tuning, modifying any car or cars in general is not exactly a wise investment for most of us. We do it because we like doing it. Cost be damned! 😒 to an extent.. So keep on building brotha. Cant wait to see the final product...

I didnt even know they had a kit more turbo content

yessir. 🇩🇪

Thanks so much gang boutta do this shit

I’m curious as to when the magnesium block will decide when it’s time to head out, but hey man, you’re freaking awesome, you’re doing what everyone is afraid to do, that n52 is a mystery and we must find out its limits.

Can you do any pulls? Would like to see the difference from stock to turbo

1. i wish i owned a car at your age 2. i wish i owned a cool car at your age 3. i wish i had the knowledge to do this at your age 4. i wish i had the systems in place around me to do all the above

Would this also ework for the n51 SULEV motors? I own an e92 328i and have been looking into turbos or even NA power gains.

What's the difference in his 328i N52 and my 2011' 528i N52? Could I use the same turbo kit shown in the video?

3:11 what is that big wheel to the right of your hand? I just got a 2012 128i and this is the worst looking part of the car. looks rusty

If you don't mind me asking but why all the hassle where you can just get N54 and do single turbo kit for cheap and easier to work on? But yes this is really cool to see what N52 can do.. .I used to own e92 328i then bought 335i and have owned 3 n54's in my life time lol.

Get an n55 coolant tank off a e92 fits nice. What was genuinely going through your head while drilling into the oil filter housing in the car. It was so painful to watch. Would’ve taken an hour to remove and drilled/cleaned properly

when i put this on my n52 do i NEED to have an n54 intake manifold?

I thought N52’s couldn’t handle boost?

I was thinking about doing this to my n52 or was thinking about supercharging it as I know quite a few people pulling 600hp with the ess supercharger. Is the power gain from this kit worth the effort, or should I go the supercharged route

Do you have forged internals? How much power can they make stock ?

That looks like a nightmare. You better hope you never have to take your fan out again looks like you had to do some shoe horning to get it in there lol.

Is there a part 2

I would honestly use a shop vac and not compressed air to be blowing those metal shavings all over the engine bay 😬.

What turbo is that?

Wrong block. Look at an N54 to see the differences. Are there even piston cooling nozzles?

does this make it now an n54 lol

I’m not OSHA do what you want 🤣😭

You didn’t show the sound of the. Car

Can this be done with the e60 n52? Or is the clearance different?

I'm starting to wonder why knowone is really working on the 2015 model year of this car 😮

why am i watching this? i'll never be able to do this myself and idek how to ask a mechanic to do this.. i feel like they'd just laugh at me or think i'm being rude. ( not that I can afford to pay someone to do it )
