E46 330i Turbo Build: CX Racing Turbo Manifold Install

Love your videos, keep it up!

I really like the headcam footage! Keep up the hard work my man

go pro footage was a little dark but other than that great work

Aye love the channel! E46 sedan gang ride or die haha. Was curious if you knew if you have to do any custom fab/modifications to put a m54b30 in a 325i or if it was just plug and play. Thanks keep up the vids!

What was the part number for the studs?

You can take off that stuck stud EASY with some vice grip pliers I took all of mine with it & since you have new ones it doesnt matter if u damage the threads.. but even with a tight grip the threads dont really get damage.. Also early e46's with the m52tu head like the 323 & 328 came with all the threaded holes for the manifold lol

make more I need more e46 build videos

just saw ur build review i just got my first car 5 spd 325i e46 sedan . best desigion of my life ive wanted to get into drifting for years where should i start .

i love ur car i want mine to get gutted soo bad now

This is exactly the type of e46 content I've been looking for! Thoughtful, methodical, well-informed, and backed by experience while being easy to understand and super helpful! The headcam footage is good as well.


I have a 330Ci that I just started a drift build on and your videos have been very helpful. Thank you for you work and keep the content coming!

You did an amazing job honestly! When you get around to make the intake manifold install can you provide and extra information about things that have to be done the best way you shrink it can be mounted? Thank you very much!

Hey man, what oil pump nut fix did you do to the engine? I'm looking at doing the seems legit garage set up but haven't seen anyone who's filmed installing the chain tensioner. I'm unsure about doing it in the car.

Please please pleeeeeeaaase do a more in depth install on an m50 manifold to m54. Proper icv routing correct way to plug the icv ports in the head ie, tapping the head for the plugs. Catch can setup too? Also to get those exhaust studs out i found its easer to just use vice grips, your replacing them anyways and just keep wiggling back and forth the aluminum is always a tiny bit corroded inside the threaded holes. Great vids make more of them

Precious info in this video.. Thanks a lot from Malaysia.

Are you not gonna port match the gaskets to the manifold for better flow?

Do you have links to the hardware and gaskets? Im super lazy thanks.

Hey man, where would our coolant expansion tank go to when the turbo/manifold is installed? I emailed CXracing but no response lol

Hey man heat up the stud with an torch before trying to move it, you will see its gona be easy

Glad I found your videos!👍

What.. why are you not going to throw the engine you’re building into the ti!!? I took out the old 1.9 in mine and have a m52b28 stroked to 3liter in her right now. Already the compact flys around. But boosted... sheesh

We’re did you run the oil feed from and the drain?

excellent video!! e46 turbo content is rare and addicting.

Can you put all the things you need to get in the comments or in the description???

You still doing this build or you wana sell the parts

А почему он поставил коллектор именно так? Я думал он под нижнее расположение турбины, по идее его можно на 180 градусов развернуть.

Thank you for the detailed video. Are m52 and m54 the same exhaust manifolds?

But why didn’t you clean the exhaust ports before putting on the manifold 😭😭

Love all your explanation man. You are awesome

I really would love to see the mods on the intake manifold
