How was the Install for the S55 oil pan and pumps? Did you have to modify anything to make it fit?

You hop on a dyno yet?

Did you have a PS2 installed previously? I thought I saw you had it on somewhere on the forums before

BimmerHausPerformance · 07-07-2022, 08:12 PM

Yea, it blew up on me so I am gonna put a fresh one in.

Weird, any idea why it blew? How many miles did you have it on, and did they give you a discount on the new one?

BimmerHausPerformance · 07-07-2022, 08:50 PM

I believe I just beat on it too hard while dialing my tune in, it was still under warranty so it cost me nothing other than shipping, time, and labor.

How did you install b58 coils?

There are conversion kits that give you a longer boot, the plug adapter, and brackets to secure them. Nexsys is the company name. I will be editing videos soon. Lol

Forgot to ask a couple more questions after watching your video!

Did you have any issue or any modifications you needed to do for the BimECU MHD Flex fuel kit? I remember being concerned the wiring wasnt going to reach our EKP in the trunk but looks like you sorted it out ok?

Where did you tap power for your CPU fan on your EKP?

Thank, actually found out today what went wrong, timing chain guide broke, metal and plastic piece in oil pan , just a mess

BimmerHausPerformance · 07-14-2022, 09:42 PM

Why does the turbo need to go back to pure? Did that send debris into it or something?
