(2006-2013) BMW 335i N54 T3 Top Mount Single Turbo System

 Over the past year we have been developing one of our newest turbo system options. It was brought to our attention by a friend that the BMW's needed a new option. We know turbos well and figured it would be a change to get involved with the N54 platform 335's. There are not a lot of options and those that are would generally require you to take out a small loan. We have set out to change the market and design an affordable, top mounted, single turbo system. From a design standpoint, this application is a challenge with the tight engine bay and a lot of tubing to fit in a small space. This is our newest option that we have developed for this platform and its currently in stock. Our stage 2 T3 kit will now support our larger 60mm and 67mm ceramic ball bearing turbo line. This kit will be more focused on the customer wanting to support 550 - 800 crank HP. Our system starts with a completely custom designed manifold that is a 2pc design. We have designed it from an extremely thick schedule 40 tubing and only use 304ss for the construction. By making this unique manifold, it allow for a much easier install. Most of the single top mount kits also require you to modify the factory coolant line as its routed through the same area where the factory turbos are. We took serious attention to detail and built around it so it retains the hard aluminum tubing. This is not a good area to run rubber hose like some systems do. Sure it would be easier but in the long run, we have a better design. Our manifold is designed to use our On 3 Performance 44mm v-banded wastegate to control boost. Out of the box your kit will be setup to make around 7.5psi on wastegate pressure. Coming out of the wastegate, we have it setup to atmosphere. Let me tell you personally, this car has factory exhaust and sounds pretty much like any other 335 driving around....until it rolls into boost. We build a lot of cars around here and this 335 engine rolling into boost sounds like nothing else we have worked with. The exhaust note is amazing and just right for for this caliber car that has all the comfort and now the power to back it up. The 304ss dump tube routes down from the wastegate and terminates right at the factory exhaust connection.  

Turbocharger Details

 You will be able to select which turbo you prefer when ordering. We had this exhaust housing designed and cast specifically for our line of turbochargers and best of all it is v-banded inlet and outlet. With any tight engine bay, this is key to allow for endless adjustments. This will not only look great but when the install time comes, it will make life that much easier. When removing the factory twin turbos, that will leave oil ports for supply, draining as well as water passages used for cooling the stock units wide open.

We had custom machined billet fittings made to do the following:

• Billet Plugs Factory Water Ports
• Billet Plugs For Factory Oil Supply Ports
• Billet Plugs For Turbo Water Drain
• Billet Plugs For Factory Turbo Oil Drain
• Custom Billet Oil Supply Fitting for New On 3 GT Series Turbo
• Custom Turbo Oil Restrictor Fitting
• Custom Billet Turbo Oil Drain (Into Engine Block)

Cold Side Technical

To address the cold side, coming out of the turbo we designed a short 2.5" charge pipe out of the turbo to the massive 7" core On 3 Performance air to air intercooler upgrade. In order to maximize power to redline, the IAT's with the factory intercooler will become a problem. Airflow surpasses what the factory air to air will handle and start delivering hot air to the engine.  As that warms up, the computer starts pulling timing and that will become a power loss. Cool the air with the new 7" On 3 Intercooler and your not pulling timing, air temps drop and everything is good. Although that is all that is required to get the car running, we didn't want to stop there. We wanted to improve upon what most see or already on the market. So we also designed a custom throttle body charge pipe to include with each turbo system standard at no additional cost. This is a 3" polished aluminum charge pipe and also intergraded in our 50mm On 3 Performance blow off valve flange. Each system will come with the 50mm On 3 blow off valve, this will not only sound good but fight compressor surge. Most will look at this feature and like it for the sound but its a very crucial piece to a turbo system to keep the turbo alive. Also hard to see but we do have the map sensor bung welded in so its ready for a plug and play install. Another touch which was not required was the power steering reservoir. We built a custom billet aluminum fabricated reservoir which contains a custom washable filter element. This is simply a nice dress up item to the engine bay, clearly not required but looks sleek and how BMW should of produced the car. They just forgot to call and ask us for our opinion
