So what's the difference between the journal bearings and ball bearings I noticed that the price is about $500 difference and you got me wanting to do this single upgrade so bad

@jake_spence 5 жыл бұрын

Ball bearing is slightly faster spooling. You can Google ball bearing vs journal bearing turbos and that should give you a pretty good idea about what's best for you.

Did you swap injectors? Or are you sticking with the ones that came in the motor you picked up? Any idea what you’ll be making on pump gas?

@jake_spence 6 жыл бұрын

My index 12 injectors were swapped over to this motor. I don't plan on running pump gas ever, it'll only see straight E85 because I have easy access to it and my fuel system can handle it. Shooting for 700whp glory run on the dyno.

Good video, do you know if that kit would mount on the 535i ? I have hydraulic stabilizer on front , so my lines would be on top of coolant tank.

No, it is not a direct bolt on for the 535i, but I believe it could fit with some customization.

Do you know what happened to cylinder 3? That sucks

@jake_spence 6 жыл бұрын

I don't know exactly. I haven't taken the motor apart. I'm guessing a chipped ring or ringland because the compression went back up when I put a tablespoon of oil down the spark plug hole. Either way, it had a nice 120k miles of abuse... she held up well.

Any problems with controlling boost? The doc race kit has to be the best quality kit aside from the wastegate placement.

@jake_spence 5 жыл бұрын

It does naturally overboost by about 2-3psi if you're using the wastegate spring to control boost. But my JB4 has no problem accurately controlling boost. I like everything else about the kit, so I chose it and haven't looked back!

Didn’t know who to ask I’ve seen most people going for doc racing kit and was personally looking at the jpworks ball baring turbo and didn’t know what would my best option be both kits come with similar parts from same brands but once a little cheaper please help

@jake_spence 5 жыл бұрын

Doc Race is the best in the business. Quality parts and good customer support. JPWorkz is cheap and has terrible customer service. Sometimes buyer's don't even receive their kits.

Ah, that makes sense. You could just run some water through it, then let it dry all the way. And/or run some cheap oil through it to bright out any shavings. I probably won't get too crazy with mine.

I've heard first-hand stories (some good, some pretty bad) about ABR. But I have respect for Alex himself. Motiv is definitely an option, but expensive. There are some out there, but I'm hoping I can wait a year or two and by then everyone will have it figured out and price will drop a bit.
