HPF N54 Single Turbo Project revisited with a Bet!

HPF Kirk · 08-20-2012, 06:25 PM

Can John remove the entire power-rain on Pat's car before Chris can remove the HPF Single Turbo Manifold off Erik's 335i?!?!

dsm25psi · 08-20-2012, 07:09 PM

lol nice

HPF Kirk · 09-28-2012, 11:35 AM

Updates! Manifold is getting close to completion. Here are a few teaser pics for everyone, more updates to follow and things should start moving quickly here in the next few weeks.

Very nice guys, im excited to see the finished product

MilehighM3 · 09-29-2012, 09:07 AM

Not going equal length on the runners this time?

HPF Kirk · 10-04-2012, 04:25 PM

Updates!!!!!!

Right off the bat you will notice the twin wastegate mounts. We decided to go with this design for flawless and ease of boost control. You’ll then notice the smoother twin scroll division. This served two purposes; faster spool up and allows a plethora of turbo chargers to be used with our kit. As mentioned before, we’ll be using a dual ball bearing 6466 divided turbo with our initial kit. We will definitely be testing other turbos as we develop more stages for the kit.

The runners are also nearly equal, that is always beneficial. With the manifold now in our hands, we are just in need of closing up lose ended projects before we can fully dive right into finishing the 335i kit. As always, we’ll be updating you as progress happens. Also we do plan on selling some components separately for those that would like to choose their own turbo and tune on their own.

We will be making sure we have a kit for the 135 that will utilize this manifold or a slightly modified version of it.

You guys have an idea of what the finished product will cost? (estimated)

I can't post pricing on this section of the forum, but it will be priced competitively. We are going to sell all the parts individually and as a complete kit with and without engine management. I could ball park it right now but i won't know for sure until we are done making the rest of the components.

Chris.

jbertino · 10-05-2012, 06:40 PM

So if this manifold doesn't fit our 1ers u will be making one that will

dsm25psi · 10-05-2012, 07:53 PM

nice nice! I would like to see a clear picture of that beautifull black bmw in the back with those coloured mags

MilehighM3 · 10-07-2012, 01:32 PM

Is it just me or are the O2 sensor bungs incorrect? They're threaded on the outside?

MilehighM3 · 10-07-2012, 01:33 PM

Duplicate post. Stupid app

If your on a phone I see why you may think that. If you look at this on a desktop you will see the threads are on the inside. There are just circular grooves on the outside that do not spiral down as threads.

Todd135i · 10-07-2012, 09:09 PM

Lol

The raised O2 bungs are built with a kind of heat sink groove(s). They are there to raise the O2 sensor somewhat out of the direct heat from the exhaust to protect them. The ridges are there to also dissipate some of the heat, also helping them. Long story short, O2 sensors are rated to not fail up to a certain temp and thats why they are using these bungs.
