N63 stage 1 turbo vs S63 non-upgraded turbo
Is the power potential between the 2 similar? anyone know? couldn't get a direct answer from Vargas and haven't heard back from pure.. S63 turbo would be a direct bolt on with the S63 intercoolers and intake boots, I already have the intercoolers and plan on using them.. I have stock maps for both the N63 and S63 but don't see any maps published on the N63 stage 1 upgrade..

Ehhh, What???
What are you trying to achieve dude? A simple tune + catless/high flow cats will get you close to stock S63 power. Trying to source and strap OEM s63 Ts or pures, would sink very quickly into a waist of money diminishing returns category. Not sure where you are getting your maps from but most places have a stgX for the N63(50i). |

Probably going to go with the stock S63 turbos, Looking at dyno results from stock S63 turbos (but tuned with other mods) get past 700 whp, Dynos from stage 1 turbos (N63) seem to be just a little less.

Also have a chat to your tuner about putting a S63 manifold onto a N63 engine. Yes it will technically fit but the S63s are cross bank tuning maybe needed/fun. You cant put a N63 on a S63 engine without it causing a fton of errors. Last edited by Chilled; 07-23-2023 at 07:44 PM.. |

No idea, just heard the same story from a couple different tuners that tried going from cross-bank to custom per-bank. Maybe its not a thing nowadays.
Let us know how you go when you swap them in Last edited by Chilled; 07-24-2023 at 06:10 PM.. |

Be careful about the electronic aspect of the exercise. I had experience with using F10M/F85 headers and turbos on E70M's S63.
One difficulty I encountered was slightly harsh idle and run. Later I found out on E70M forum recommendation to swap cables between left and right exygen sensors. It fixed the issue, because between S63 in E70M and F10M BMW changed the headers in such way, that LEFT turbo is fed from exhaust ports of cylinders 1 and 4 (R bank), 6 and 7 (L bank). In E70M those cylinders were feeding the RIGHT turbo. This resulted in oxygen sensors reading values from the other set of cylinders, instead of theirs. N63 with exhaust manifold per cylinder bank left oxygen senzor is serving cylinders 5,6,7,8 and right O2 sensor cylinders 1,2,3,4. So the engine control might get confused, however less than in case of E70M. On the other hand E70M fix means just to swap cables left/right between O2 sensors. I'd anticipate you'd need the ECUs from F85, that the O2 feedback controls the right cylinders, I believe its a matter of a program code rather than the parameters normally edited while flashing. Then without the tune your engine will be limited to N63 stock boost, so virtually you won't get any performance gain. With the parts you already have you are about 30% in the N63->S63 conversion. The F85 intercoolers need their hoses circuit and 2 pumps instead of 1. (halfway) Some other radiators with hoses, ECUs and harness and you have your S63. |

Maybe easier and more performance gain route than going stock OE F85 coolers.
If you are going full OE, get a set of F90 coolers. Unlike the F10s, the F90s have the correct lower flange, less custom work. |

The only thing I have to do with the f85 coolers is route my own water lines which I would do regardless of the intercooler I use, Im not using that tiny reservoir that gets heat soaked no matter what lol.
