Speedtech releases N54 cast manifold single turbo kit - 810 whp

[Sticky]

Speedtech is known on BimmerBoost for their N55 turbo kit but now they are releasing an N54 single turbo conversion. The N54 single turbo kit market sure is crowded and increasingly so each passing day but Speedtech seems to bringing some big guns to the mix.

First, their demo car is a 2010 BMW 335i running a Borg Warner SX-E 364 (8776) turbocharger.

An 810 whp dynograph at 29 psi definitely will get attention although keep in mind Dynocoms read high:

What are some of the kit specs?

Manifold/downpipe/dumppipe arrangement advantages:

• Efficient flowpath with consistent boost control
• Keeps wastegate cold-side in cool air for reliability and easy spring changes
• Places O2 sensors in ideal location to keep sensor body temps down to prolong life and allow easy access for service.
• Fewest joints and welds for leak free, trouble free operation
• Provides ample clearance from all hot-side components
• Allows use of stock motor mount isolator

Cast manifold:

Similar to our N55 manifold, we designed the N54 manifold to not sacrifice on anything. Maximum bend radii, flow simulation, stress analysis, thermal cycling analysis… This manifold design takes an OEM approach to making huge power.

There are plenty of turbo options to choose from:

• BorgWarner
  
  • SX-E 252, 257, 362, 363, 364
  
  
• Garrett
  
  • G, GT, GTW, GTX 3076, 3576, 3582, 3584, 4088
  
  
• Precision
  
  • 5558, 5858, 5862, 6062, 6262, 6266, 6466, 6766, 6870, 6875, 7275

The pricing is aggressive:

We'll see how the N54 community responds to this offering but it is yet another option to consider.

Now THIS is awesome!!!

[Tony@VargasTurboTech]

Looks like a very well thought out kit. Nice Job

[135idct]

good job

[Icewall]

now thats what im talking about. keeping it simple and the price down. I much prefer to have the turbo down low on these cars for clearance and to keep the heat away from the hood and valve cover. it only makes sense to do it that way since the motor sits on an angle. why fight it? plus we aren't currently at any insane power levels that would require any over the top complex design.

[Eleventeen]

Wow, that seems like a really cheap price!

[7plagues]

Looks like a great kit, at a reasonable price.

[maxnix]

This is on stock internals?

Clean appearing kit.

[Torgus]

The kit we all should have had 6 years ago. Seriously.

[Enfiftyfore]

$2900+ seems like vague pricing.

[blaster3500]

Glad to see this finally released!

$2900+ seems like vague pricing.

Do the math $2300 + look up the cost of the wastegate and turbo you choose.

[jturboawd]

the + I am sure is depending on turbo selection. He is just going to carry the delta over. I assume the cheapest turbo/wg combo is 600 bucks.

[Enfiftyfore]

That makes sense. I'm going to keep this in mind. Really happy to see a cast manifold.

Apparently they have a setup just like this they are announcing for the N55 shortly.

[Weehe]

They have had N55 kits for almost a year already. Unless it's a new kit for E series that can fit other turbos.

I think it's a new kit being mentioned but I could be mistaken.

[jturboawd]

im sure its a new kit to fit the smaller frame turbo. I have the EFR kit which I love but the turbo is so freaking big.

[NJrep335i]

Any updates on when these will ship?

No idea. Maybe try them on Facebook?

According to their website all reserved spots for the intro-priced batch of kits have been sold, and prices bumped for the next round by several hundred $. Eg Precision 6266 BB kit was $3700 now $4300. Assume we'll be hearing from people who bought the first batch at some point soon.
