BMW M5 - Going cheap on PARTS - GOOD or BAD idea ? Kingtec review

Рет қаралды 3,737

5 ай бұрын

In the process of rebuilding another S63 engine (this time from a F10 M5) I received some much expected parts the car's owner bought ! A set of Kingtec Racing Forged rods and Forged Pistons.
In this video I am doing an Unboxing of the parts, as well as comparing them with the original BMW pistons and rods.
I was surprised when trying to find information about Kingtec Racing online, and wasn't successful finding nether good or bad experiences so here we are with an initial video .
Check our channel for more videos on BMW F10 M5 twin turbo V8 S63B44 - As you probably know this engine shares the same block with the N63 BMW engine.

Hi, I’ve got the crank back and the guys doing the balancing were pretty impressed with the quality of pistons/rods given the price we paid for them - I should be getting the block back from the machine shop next week and will start the rebuild - will definitely make an update video once the car is running and tunned.

@@dnl35projects lol I can imagine, still you have highlighted the risks I just hope all your hard work is not undone. I think for exhausts, charge coolers & intake kits then going this route is a none issue . But proper engine components are a tricky one. No doubt they are better than stock, but I don't know how confident you could be when you start to lean on them which it sounds like the owner may do .

@rumenstiliyanow4769 Ай бұрын

Nice video , looking forward to the next essential one. I've read some positive stuff about a guy with an M3 E92 who replaced his rod bearings with a custom set of "ACL Trimetal" and he stated that these basically "solve" the rod bearing issue. Another thing - what would you recommend if I'm replacing the rod bearings on a S63 should I replace the main bearings as well ?

@dnl35projects Ай бұрын

You’re absolutely right ! Rod and main bearings are preventive maintenance in some of these high power BMW engines and in fact that’s what made me start this Channel in first place. I’ve done the rod bearings on my v10 M5 in 2019, along with an extensive service and the car has been running good ever since. I’m using ACL race series for rod bearings and King for main bearings - most of the engines I’ve done had relatively good main bearings but I rather spend the extra $250 and have the peace of mind the mains were done as well unless the car has less than 60-80k kms

They said this is your last video which is 2 months ago.

I looked up how much a f90 motor cost they said between 50k to 70k is that true? The Dodge Demon motor cost 31,000. 02-25-24

Hi there, yes the motor is really expensive. I’m definitely doing an update video once the F10 engine is put together however I was very busy with work until last week and will have more time for videos from today onwards. Yes the two upgraded intercoolers at front should definitely help with performance.

Well, it’s all a matter of how much power. If built correctly with quality parts the s63 can produce 700HP day and night with no issues. I’m currently building an S64TU4 with aims at reliable 1000HP as a daily - Stay tuned
