07:25 the oil pan isn't a reshaped item, it is a baffled pan taken off the the S55 along with the dual pick up oil pump to prevent oil starvation which normal N55's suffer from especially on track. N55's are also found in the M240iR

I owned a 2017 M2 and while I liked it, seeing the M2 Competition come out at almost the same cost was such a slap on the face to current M2 owners, I traded mine in for a totally different car. I really like the s55 engine and wanted a M3, just couldn't afford $80k. The n55 M2 definitely sounds better, no doubt.

Hey man was wondering if youngster any tips on n55 boost leaks with more aggressive tunes. My 535i xdrive is FBO Mhd stage 2+ and i am about 2 lbs of boost under target and wgdc is always at 85 to 100% on pulls. I have smoke tested it already and no leaks but that seems to be the problem since the westgate is staying closed to create boost. I am about to upgrade the diverted valve and all the piping from turbo to intercooler and intercooler to throttle body. Have you seen anyone with the same issues ?

BimmerFam Abq JB4 really adds a lot that’s not surprising. Same mods though, a EWG n55 will make more power than a PWG (around 30whp) just based on larger compressor wheel size, and the downpipe being 4inch instead of 3.5.
@LowBoostFilms
@LowBoostFilms 4 жыл бұрын
Rei they’re not faster, you’re a better driver. No way a EWG n55 is making 430whp on an off the shelf MHD tune either. More like 390-395whp. Maybe if they have meth and port injection, and that’s a big maybe. Turbo is maxed out by that point.

@Stefan I understand that. But it boils down to true twins vs the single twin scroll. The feel is the a difference in how the power is delivered. Twins can move more air and spools earlier because of smaller size and sequence. Still, there are more benefits to going to a single turbo. Especially when upgrading. 2j, RB, and 13B's are similar but more opt for the single conversion because of power potential. Its definitely a personal taste thing tho.

Just keep in mind that the chart used in that video is not completely accurate, the N55B30T0 used in the M2 and X40i does not have stronger bearings (rod), and there is no upgraded radiator, just an auxiliary radiator added to certain cars (and you can buy it as part of the PPK for several chassis) and the upgraded radiator fan (you can also buy separately and install) is not related to what engine is in the car, it is model specific or option specific (for example an early PWG F30 N55 with the M Sport package has the upgraded 800W radiator fan) . Also the M2/X40i does not have a "high flow" manifold.

@@billymania11 me too and the technical manual mentions absolutely nothing about the turbo or rod bearings being any different on the N55B30T0. I have also had various n55 turbos on hand doing some testing and the M2 turbo is identical to any other ewg turbo, the only thing different on it is the DV.

I own a 15’ N55 335i M Sport 8 SPD Auto, and a 16’ F80 M3 6spd and can personally attest to just how sneaky fast the N55 really is. Both cars are totally stock and although my M3 easily walks away from the 335i, it definitely gives the M3 a run for its money.

that's awesome to hear. I seriously love the S55 in the M3, it's got wicked amounts of power and a powerband that really throws you in the seat

M2 N55 is the great engine but the HPFP is the weakest point of the engine to push the power to the limit.

Simply Car Things Honestly, I don’t know. My car started today, idling at around 650RPMs as normal, but when pressing the gas pedal, it was doing like it has a vacuum leak or bad spark plugs. Decreasing RPMs and not even reaching 1,000, before shutting off. Tried to start it again, and it didn’t even crank. I think it could be the battery, but it testes 12.24 volts.

Only "complication " is the fact there's a extra turbo, an even that can be changed for a single and then power difference become ridiculous onesided. Other than that it's just a typical turbocharged bmw. An costly to repair an terms of what?

Jin Metsuo the original argument of N54 being faster doesn’t stand then if you have to convert to a single turbo. The N55 turbo can be upgraded too! 2 turbos = more wiring, more vacuum hoses, feed pipes, return pipes, solenoids (these things fail, EWG doesn’t have em) twice as likely of turbo failure, increased engine bay heat ... prob missed something but you get the idea. Not doubting it’s a good engine.
