Franken F55 turbo for N55 EWG is here (kinda)
On pre -order but it's actually finally coming.
http://https://frankenturbo.com/FrankenTurbo-F55-for-BMW-EWG-N55-p543440859 I'm surprised there is no marketing blurb, isn't it meant to be unique? Better flowing manifold and lower EWG's? What's the ceramic coat option pertain to, an internal lining? What would benefits be. Is this a stage 1.5 or more like a 2? What will spool be like. Experts weigh in! |

I'm surprised there is no marketing blurb, isn't it meant to be unique? There's a lot of discussion on their FB group but nothing is proven yet. Better flowing manifold and lower EWG's? Yes, the manifold is unique and flows more that the other options out there. What's the ceramic coat option pertain to, an internal lining? What would benefits be. Its a coating on the manifold to keep temps down. Is this a stage 1.5 or more like a 2? This is supposed be a stage 3 turbo similar to the pure 750 What will spool be like. They claim spool to be similar to a PS2 so 3700-3900 RPM

If you're looking for stock like spool, check out the Shuenk N55+. It's a 1.5 turbo capable of about 500WHP on ethanol.

Not that I have seen. Most of the guys on the facebook group are E series owners.

Ah that's the product I was thinking of and got it confused with the F55 announcement.
The N55+ also has higher flowing turbofold? (if that's what it's called?!). It would be like the pure 500 and a bit above dinan big turbo? Installation looks more involved however than straight drop in nature of Dinan? Last edited by 3t3p; 09-21-2023 at 02:35 PM.. |

But neither of these turbos will likely be able to flow enough exhaust gas to hold 20psi + to redline, especially not with the stock exhaust manifold and the tiny turbine wheel. In terms of reliability how do you know the pure 500 will be more reliable than the n55+ there is no data to back this assumption up. Firstly the old pure turbos (ps1 and ps2) were so reliable because they reused the stock bmw/borgwarner CHRA - and borgwarner is a billion dollar company with a crap ton of money and engineers behind rnd leading to some of the best turbos in the world and turbos used by OEMS. That's why pure's old turbos were so reliable, because they reused already tried and trued CHRA's made by BW. The new pure 500 is brand new made from the ground up for pure by who knows - but it is likely made in China by the few turbo companies over there just like the n55+ is. This means the new pure 500 has zero reused parts (asides from the exhaust manifold) and therefore reliability will be an unknown just like the n55+. The thing pure has going for them is their excellent reputation for taking care of their customer, so if it does fail then you know it will be warrantied. Other than that you can't simply say it will be more reliable. So the pure turbo name has a good reputation, but this turbo certainly isn't tried and true - atleast not yet because it is relatively new.

Correct, pure500 is just another ps1 with core change. I doubt it would reach close to 500whp.
N55+ is with modified exhaust manifold. I'm pushing above 550whp now. We will see soon when I'm done tuning and put it on the dyno. |

There's no core exchange fee with ps1 it's just like the vtt stage 1 now, you buy it and you get the entire turbo (minus the exhaust manifold) nothing to return.
