►When we last saw Michael Essa's BMW 340i turned Drift Taxi, it was shredding around Gridlife events with its essentially OE-spec engine. It handled all of the abuse that Essa threw at it for the season but suffered an issue while waiting for the next one, causing rod knock. To make matters worse, the failure occurred just a few days before the Taxi needed to be at an event. With little time to waste and FCP Euro HQ at his disposal, Essa decided to pull the turbocharged B58 straight-six and rebuild it better than ever.
Watch along as Michael Essa and Tyler Pappas of Tyspeed yank the engine out, strip it to bits and rebuild it stronger than ever while giving you an inside look at how BMW built another stout performer. A last-minute engine build is quintessential race car stuff; it doesn't get any more real than this.

I'm part of a n54 group and just yesterday people lost their shit on a guy who was using plastigauge. they murdered him in the comments. Told him to buy p[roper tools or sell his car. I was like Dayyyyum . Plastigauge is fine if you know how to use it.

Yeah, like anything it's how you use it. Newly machined or non scuffed stock crank, etc. Plastic gauge is fine...as long as it spins freely once you torque everything down as it won't show out of round...maybe if you kept the crank in the same position and checked in 90degree increments...somewhat

or those wondering the vacuum pump on the back of the oil pump is actually because there is no manifold vacuum! BMW Valvetronic uses the intake valves to meter the amount of air entering the engine. this causes the intake manifold to never create vacuum and eliminates the use of a throttle body. most valvetronic cars will still have a throttle body as a fail safe tho.
@isaacstretch106
@isaacstretch106 2 ай бұрын
The reason that the brake booster doesn’t use vacuum from the manifold is because of Valvetronic. Valvetronic doesn’t create any pressure in the intake manifold due to the throttle body always being 100% open and instead it uses the amount the valves open as the “throttle.” Now getting to the end of the video it looks like Mike removed the Valevteonic system so in his case the intake manifold would once again have pressure

Piston rings rotate in the bore when the engine is running. They rotate at about 1rpm when the engine is at idle. Staggering rings is for initial startup sealing and then they start moving. Its really not a big deal as long as they're not lined up for initial startup. Did you guys balance the crank with the new rotating parts or are you just winging it since it was such a time crunch?

Having watched this video I feel the root cause was the turbo upgrade creating too much vacuum in the crankcase (not actually over-boosting). Pretty sure this car needs a crankcase breather and vented catch cans / AOS. The damage on the bottom of the piston skirts is a strong indicator that the piston was pulled out of alignment into the piston wall by vacuum and not pushed into the wall by overboosting which would cause similar damage not on the top half of the piston above the rings. Also, Why was there all that water? your right that the oil degradation comes from oil and water. But the question then is why is there that much water? It’s most likely because of the oil not reaching operating temps (above 212) I’ll bet you anything that car has a mishimoto oil cooler and the owner did a thermostat delete/switched to the lower temp thermostat which is really a gimmick of an upgrade. Basically never letting the oil heat up. Many things can cause damage to rod bearings, but whenever they spin within the bores- water was apart of the equation. I love the work y’all done and this was a massive upgrade to the engine. But I feel that there are a few clear things here not part of the block that need to be considered in this equation.

Mos2 or Ceratec to boost lubricity/film strenght to help the reliability? Not implying is reason for failure, as you explained thoroughly in video. Just curious what Liqui Moly oil spec to run on boosted S54 and the strong B58 and if additives needed in Liqui Moly 100% synthetic to help boost reliability?😅 🙏

The closest we can get if we use either 300V Motul or "cheat code" Superbike oils😢. Valvoline,Royal Purple, Amzoil,Redline, Driven all great oils(seen wear test-extremely good) but unfortunately not avilible. We have Liqui Moly thou but the 4T Liqui Moly oil protects much better than the Molygen car range

@sharifmowad627 2 ай бұрын
The gaskets are fine if the crankcase doesn’t get subject to too much vacuum. So while the gaskets are able to handle lots of heat. These engines quickly pull too much vacuum and all that negative pressure pulling against the gaskets potentially deforms them. Also, the biggest enemy to gaskets relate to the range of heat exposure. By range, I don’t mean highest temp on any particular drive but the diff between highest and lowest temps they’ll experience in their lifetime will determine how well they stand the test of time. Hence, keeping a car garage kept is so beneficial especially for those in cold climates (from a gasket’s perspective) because you prevent the gaskets from heating up having started in that below freezing temp zone. Don’t get all paranoid with this info, just sharing what I’ve learned from living in the weeds of a gasket rabbit hole.

@@danielwilliams214Can confirm he was stock and actually ran a faster 8.675 @ 159 shortly after. Since the record, the motor received forged internals and a built head, including cams. Both his new and old stock motor records are impressive for a car that is full weight but that's not an advisable path for everyday driving. If you want reliable four digit power out of a B58 and consistent 8-9sec 1/4mile and possibly even 7s, build the motor and take some weight out, especially if it's xdrive. Both the B58 and Coyote are phenomenal engines but in terms of stock motor capability, the Coyote (gen2) has a slight edge. You'll need upgraded head studs when adding a turbo kit but I wouldn't consider that "opening" the motor. Both platforms are great so at the end of the day it doesn't matter what other people think as long as it brings you happiness. A lot of the people that criticize these achievements won't put the work in to run the numbers themselves.

expand please, opinions and bias without facts is jsut as garbage as what you claim an engine to be. Fact the B58 coil packs are stout with high energy output, and aree a common upgrade on older platforms, such as the N54. it has a forged crank, and drop forged cracked connecting rods, both a boon when it comes to engine power capability. adding to this the pistons are also forged alloy FROM FACTORY it has a closed deck design, a bonus over the open deck design of the N54/55 series of engines, as wel all know side loading can cause the cylinders to walk on an open deck. the engine's forced induction design was also met with a water to air intercooler, this method of cooling can be easily modified to keep intake temps in check even with high boost levels by using secondary cooling units, adding an ice bucket/bath, etc. as the block and head are aluminum, it is a lightweight engine, giving superior weight distribution front to rear for exceptional handling characteristics ( similar to the RX-7 50/50 distribution) overall the basic bare block has everything you want for a hefty power making engine, and items that others have to pay aftermarket for the privilege of using on their race cars. if anything, i contest the B58 is the true german 2JZ predecessor, not the N54.

I've done the 3.0 engine swap in a Ford taurus SVT, cause the guy blew up the 2.5 and wanted the bigger engine, I've owned an rx7 and a rebadged mitsubishi starion, kinda wish I kept the fc3s chassis rx.. would been great powered by an aluminum 6.0 block with 4.8 rods and crank. I miss my dsm with big 16g turbo, abd my srt4. But the dsm was a factory fuckup of an engine that never held timing with new components, and the set succumbed to Midwest salt solution and had rust holes I could fit my arm in.
