Think about it this way. When the DME wants to make less torque, for example, during a boost spike, to reduce torque, it opens the wastegates to vent the pressure. OR an even faster way to reduce the torque is to retard the timing. That reduces turbo lag by keeping the pressurized air in the system, that way if the DME needs it, the air is there. Retarding the ignition timing reduces the torque directly, and if you retard it enough, the combustion process can actually take place outside of the combustion chamber, and inside the exhaust manifold. That spools up the turbos very quickly, and produces the loud pops and bangs, but its very harsh on the turbine wheel.

Basically, additional forces beyond the capabilities of the friction washer setup is causing the crank hub to spin. Interestingly, does the GT4 race car burble on overrun and the video's I've heard, they don't seem to burble at all or not excessively to notice it. Last edited by RevNev; 06-28-2020 at 06:15 PM.. |

How many have spun crank hubs on a stage 2 tune with burbles disabled is the question to answer Maybe it's not the kickdown spinning the hub, it spins when they get off the throttle at high revs after the kickdown? When does it go into limp mode from a spun hub, immediately on kickdown and the engine won't rev, or after it's hit the rev limiter? Last edited by RevNev; 06-28-2020 at 06:30 PM.. |

2. When the exhaust valves open, there is not nearly the amount of pressure you think there is, because the combustion chamber size has increased as the piston is at BDC. Yes igniting the air/fuel mixture well after TDC does produce some pressure that the exhaust valves have to overcome when opening, but its not even close to the amount of pressure produced during normal combustion with the ignition at the proper angle, HENCE why torque is reduced when ignition timing is retarded. Im not sure if you read my post entirely, but I said retarding the ignition advance enough can actually make combustion take place outside the combustion chamber, which does spool the turbos very quickly, but it doesnt produce much power. 3. I am talking about how the burbles are produced in the S55, as well as how many anti-lag (not air bypass) systems operate. You are welcome to think what you want, but I tune S55's and B58's, I know exactly how the burbles work. A possible reason the GT4 race car doesnt have issues with spinning the hub is because they are usually tuned to have a more linear power band, rather than tons of torque down low. Their engines are likely rebuilt far more often then our road cars as well. Quote:
I have yet to see a crank hub spin without the central bolt coming loose first. Many of my clients/friends run just a crank hub bolt capture and they have been running 700+ whp for years without issue.

Sorry I have to chime in here as well. The notion that slight timing retardation to produce a very minimal overlay of combustion into the exhaust manifold is contributing to stress on the hub is misguided. That's just not how that works. Also, we are talking very , VERY minimal burbles as compared to some other platforms/tunes. It's not even enough to create an anti-lag feature (the principal is the same), so thinking it's somehow causing stress on that component just doesnt make sense, mechanically speaking.
With that being said, this feature can cause issues with turbo longetivity, o2 sensors and catalytic converters, due to the increased pressure and heat. However that doesn't seem to be the case on this platform. I think burbles are stupid and childish on most platforms. And i think there probably is a correlation between those that try to abuse burble features to show off to their friends, and spun crank hubs. They tend to be privy to the type of driving habits that are constantly de revving high gears in peak torque to show off the pops, but it's not the tuning causing issue. That's why I love the handheld tuners we have, I can set exactly the rpm, duration and volume of the pops and it works beautifully. I have it on the softest setting for .5 seconds after 2400 rpm, and I would bet my car and left arm the engine doesn't even notice it's there over the course of years and years. I also will add I have never had an issue with just the bolt capture after 100+ drag passes , launches, hundreds of roll races, daily abuse and a whole lot of fun! |

has i wrote somewere on this forum, the main cause of the sch is the suddent change of torque/rpm. if you are going 4000rpm and left off, or kickdown, or suddent accelerations (harder with e85), my opinion is that the timming chain (connected to the hub) loosens the central screw by turning faster and suddenly than the oil pump chain. I really think the problem is 90% loosen central screw and 10% the friction disc |

I havent even heard of an F8x going kaboom because of the friction discs. The bolt always backs out first. |

Sharing some thoughts for anyone looking to get used f80 m3. I gone through research. Most important thing to understand is CH issue is not a fluke it's real. It happened on 10+ cars across all production years. It is design flaw. As with any mechanical component under stress single weakness over time can destroy anything. As more cars put miles and come out of warranty these issues will keep happening. From my understanding no car is safe it happens on stick/tuned/low miles etc. I noticed that there are no CPO m3s in my area, there are so many low miles cars sold by good BMW dealers but not cpo. That clearly tells they know something that probably normal buyer doesn't. Long story short I will put my money on s58 looks very promising.

And brand that I always admired is not living up. Also just wanted to share thoughts for anyone looking to buy used. S55 is not a new engine..n54 was the beginning then n55 then S55. It is just amazing how BMW screwed up this motor. Stock cars with 30k miles should never have such issue..not acceptable by any standards..inline 6 making 420hp not a rocket science 2.0l are making more power reliably(not blowing engine). I owned N54 and tuned he'll out of it..i never worried about blowing that motor during pulls..it had its flaws but nothing that would discourage one from driving hard. Anyhow this chapter is closed. |

Thinking the S55 is a screwed up motor is a matter of opinion. I have owned N55, S55, B58 and S58 and the S55 is by far my favorite:
- turbo lag is short and manageable - and when you add a decent tune and proper bolt-ons it's practically gone - redundancy everywhere - cooling, intakes, fueling, turbos, etc - it can take a beating. Track any of the other engines regularly and you'll see the S55 was meant to be abused (SCH issue aside, which is a sad situation- but there is an affordable fix out there as we all know) - smoothness - for a forced-induction motor it's incredibly refined - moreso than the B58 which I drove for 3+ years and the S58 which I drove for 6 months - headroom for tunes - people are pushing 550+ wheel with basic bolt-ons in some cases - Full E85 (thanks to the dual fuel pumps) and a good tune (and the SCH fix) and you're flying. That's impressive... Full story is not yet written about S58 since it's still new and further revisions may make it surpass the S55 in every way, but not quite there yet. For now it has some of the IAT issues that hurt the B58, robbing power after heavy use; and its turbo lag is noticeably worse than the S55. IMO the S55 was a huge leap forward for track-quality turbocharged engines and let's see how easy it is for BMW to make us forget about it. |

Keep in mind, this is an enthusiast forum and people here run their cars harder than the general population and are more likely to complain. I remember the days when the E46 S54 was such a big deal. NA with more than 100 hp/l. Just keep in mind that getting 500+ in 3L is pretty amazing. |
