Overview

The ARM Motorsport N54 Inlets are relocated inlet pipes designed for BMW N54 engines. They are constructed from high-temperature, steel-reinforced silicone. The inlets move the air filters to the passenger side of the engine to reduce intake air travel distance and improve turbocharger performance.
Show original supplier description
The ARM Relocated Silicone Inlet Intake Kit is engineered as a performance upgrade for N54 engines, aiming to maximize the potential of stock or upgraded twin turbochargers. By relocating the inlets, this kit is designed to increase power and torque by up to 60 whp and 60 wtq, leading to improved turbo spool, faster peak boost engagement, and increased overall turbocharger volume. A significant challenge with relocated inlets is managing the heat absorbed by the air filters, especially since they are moved closer to the hot turbochargers. To combat this, the ARM N54 Inlets feature a manifold heat shield to direct heat away from the turbochargers and inlet filters, as well as an air filter heat shield to separate cooler ambient air from hotter engine bay air. The kit also includes a filter bracket to secure the inlets and filters, preventing movement during aggressive driving, and a support bracket for boost solenoids to keep them stable. Installation is facilitated with included relocation brackets for the coolant reservoir and power steering pump reservoir. The kit contains the ARM Relocated Inlets, manifold heat shield, air filter head shield, coolant and power steering reservoir relocation brackets, boost solenoid bracket, and clamps. If your turbos retain a 1.75" turbo inlet, adapters (part # ES4690794) are required. This product is not for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled vehicles. This product fits BMW E82 1 M Coupe, 135i, E90 335i, 335xi, E92 335i, 335is, 335xi, E93 335i, 335is, and Z4 sDrive35i, sDrive35is models with the N54 3.0L engine.
