Suzilla 2.0 Build Thread

I wonder what it's all about then. Are there inherent problems when pushing 4 cylinder engines vs 6 cylinders, aside from a power ceiling? I'm new to tuning so I might just be misunderstanding. I've got some bolt-ons on the way for a stage 1 setup and it'd be nice to know if I'm just going to blow it up in the next 20k miles

I mean, for all intents & purposes the B48 is essentially a B58 with the front two cylinders removed. They develop the six cylinder architecture first, then work backward in order to create a four cylinder version of it. It's much more cost effective and results in a better design for both iterations. And to prove my point, there are several internal components shared between the two, a big one being the connecting rods.

Actually... No, the B48 was produced first, the B58 afterwards.

Correct. The B48 was introduced in 2014, while the big brother was released in 2015.

Interesting relevant video regarding the B48

My bad, I was misremembering the order they went into production.

Been a whileee but got the car back this past weekend. The main post has been updated with the now current build sheet. Took some old goodies off and put some new ones as well. Will be posting pictures soon of the new look and all.

Here’s some pictures of the car with the new parts that I got at bimmer invasion. Still working out my tuning/ecu situation and all also planning on getting the car dynoed to have some before and after numbers as well. Car does feel a little different with the new turbo as well without a tune. Also might have some more goodies coming soon for the car
