New Turner N52 Intake | +9 WHP +13 WTQ
Introducing the new Turner Motorsport N52 Intake for the BMW E8X 1 Series and E9X 3 Series
Turner Motorsport N52 Intake E9X 3 series and E8X 1 series vehicles equipped with the N52 powerplant are a great blend between modern BMW styling and comfort with the trademark smooth, linear pull that comes from BMW's beautifully engineered inline six powerplant. We love forced induction BMWs, but there's something innately pure about the NA power BMW was able to produce in these cars. No, they're not the fastest, but they are reliable and extremely balanced. Recognizing the appeal of the naturally aspirated N52 powered E9x vehicles, Turner Motorsport developed in an intake to make you fall in love with your BMW again. The N52 engine never sounded this good. Turner's intake effectively eliminates restriction caused by the factory airbox, especially in the top end. This combined with increased airflow allows for gains of up to 9 WHP and 13 WTQ down low in the power band. Not only does the intake sound great and perform well, but it also looks amazing, Like any Turner Motorsport project, their N52 intake is CAD designed by an in-house team of engineers - and it shows. The heat shield is wrinkle black powder coated CNC aluminum - featuring pre-installed edge trim and a Turner brand plate. The heat shield is held to tight tolerances to keep hot engine bay air away from the intake, while retaining factory air inlet scoop compatibility to bring in cool, fresh air. Turner's intake also features a 6061-T6 CNC machined aluminum MAF housing that maintains factory MAF scaling. Lastly, the blue Turner filter is cleanable and reusable - featuring 8 ply oiled cotton gauze and a bell mouth inlet to maximize flow and filtration efficiency. Installation is very simple, and Turner is thorough enough to put together install instructions for your enjoyment - see the documentation tab.

Any member reviews of this?
Hello and happy new year. I am a new member and first-time BMW (automobile) owner. Just purchased a one owner, well-maintained 2011 128i. I didn't know about 1ers when I began shopping for a small convertible but, after test driving a 2013 135i and a 2013 128i I fell in love. The 135i is so exciting but I chose fewer maintenance possibilities with the N52.
My proclivities will be toward best maintenance and functional improvements. First issue I have is with the stock air intake. It's too inconvenient to change the filter element. I cannot keep the silencer box (contains the filter) attached to the fresh air snorkel. The box sags down and quickly comes loose. I wonder if a support below the box might be missing. From what I'm reading in the forums, changing intake systems alone wouldn't be money well spent. I would appreciate y 'all's expertise. |
