Custom N52 Turbo build by BPC

[N52_Bob]

Hello All,

Im sure you have seen this build on another website, but if you havent seen it yet, well here it is. Bimmer Performance Center out of Raleigh, NC started the process to build a prototype kit for the E9x N52 engine.

- Stock N52 with a 6 speed swap ( Yes the car started life as an auto with the GM trans)
- N54 intake swap (And yes, the N54 intake manifold will bolt right up to an N52 head)
- Custom built headers built by Bimmer Performance Center
- Borg Warner 7163 with a vband .85AR exhaust housing
- Stock MSV70 DME (no piggy back) Custom tuning by me
- Custom coldside
- We will be running a BOV on a non vacuum engine (Turbosmart BOV)
- 60lbs injectors & stock fuel system (N52 fuel system runs at 5bar)

Goal is find out what the stock block can handle

Some videos of the engine running with no throttle body and revving the stock block to 8200+RPM with no issues

And here is where the build is at

MORE TO COME!!

Bench flash or obd2 tuning? Will this kit be "mass marketed?" I have an 08 Z4 3.0si coupe that I daily. Superchargering seems boring to me.

Nice pickup! When do you intend to go for more? [we always want more around here ]

That is pretty impressive gains at such little boost. Curious how the motor handles higher boost. Great job on the build. Looks amazing!
