Any update on the e53 you rescued and did timing chain job on?
I just watched one of your older videos. The weight loss makes you look 10 years younger. Congrats, man!
Great video man, happy new year π
Bruh get you a plug to hook u up with the inspection
NICE TO SEE YOUUUU
My e92 335 has been completely shredded apart and every wear part replaced on it completely. FBO status and would be cool to bounce some ideas around with you.
Happy new Year !
Was that a aftermarket engine fan you pulled out? Iβm thinking of getting those easy plug in fan shrouds for my 330i 346.
Great video as always. I started watching you with your e46. Your videos help me rebuild mine. Just rebuilt my motor took it for the 1st test drive yesterday. Just wanted to say thank you for the videos. Also amazon sells a metal valve cover for the m54 now. If you wanted to jump back on the e46 and try something new. It's just like factory.
I found on at my local pick a part and it had the quick disconnects and lady didint know what it was charged me for a oil cooler and it was 30 bucks for a 500 dollar inter cooler
Woah what. Surprised you did not have to trim the black plastic "fins" in the middle between bumper and intercooler at all. Every time I read or watched vids mention you do and I did myself last time. This time I also have a DCT now though so auto cooler, sucks it doesn't fit and screw back. Good thing I watched this video. Maybe I might just get factory type intercooler upgrade I don't really want more than stock turbos like stage2+.
I actually just bought the same FMIC for my E92 N55, and it was missing the washers just like yours did, but also didn't come with any installation manual… I also have the same problem with the transmission oil cooler, which is unaccaptable imho.
The VRSF stuff isn't really cheap, and E9X with AT or DCT are not exotic at all, so to me it's baffling how they didn't figure that out, especially since they're selling this IC for quite some time now…
Also, VRSF advertises on their website that "it doesnβt require permanent modification in order to be installed", which is simply not true, as can be seen in this video.
While installing it, I felt more like I was alpha testing rather than installing an actually finished product…
So that being said, I can't recommend it at all, there are much better alternatives out there in the same price region!
Seriously thinking about selling it again and getting the Wagner FMIC, as the VRSF one has so far been nothing but a huge disappointment for me.
