Our High-Quality, 2-Year Warranty VANOS Hub for BMW S54 Engines

Our High-Quality, 2-Year Warranty VANOS Hub for BMW S54 Engines

5150 AutoSport is proud to introduce our latest innovation for the BMW S54 engine—a premium VANOS exhaust hub engineered with precision and backed by a robust 2-year warranty.

Known for our commitment to quality, 5150 AutoSport has brought a new standard to the VANOS hub market with a product crafted to outperform OEM specifications and withstand even the toughest conditions faced by high-performance engines.

The BMW S54’s OEM VANOS hub has long been a point of concern for S54 enthusiasts due to issues with drive pin failures and material fatigue. In response, 5150 AutoSport has introduced an upgraded solution that addresses these common problems and enhances performance in a way few others can match.

Why Choose the 5150 VANOS Hub?

We recognize that drivers today have options when it comes to VANOS hubs for their BMW S54 engines, so we set out to create a hub that not only solves the issues faced by OEM hubs but also goes beyond to deliver the longest-lasting performance. Our VANOS hub is made from 4340 Vacuum Melt steel, a high-strength alloy often used in aerospace applications, ensuring unparalleled toughness and durability under engine stress.

Unlike OEM hubs, which suffer from excessive clearance issues, our hub’s drive pins are redesigned to reduce play within the system by 80%. This translates to a more stable connection between the exhaust camshaft and VANOS oil pump, virtually eliminating the common “chatter” that results from component wear. Furthermore, the upgraded design of the drive pins compensates for any residual play, adding robustness that S54 drivers will notice.

Our 5150 hub pins have been redesigned to utilize more material and fit more exactly, reducing play by 80%, effectively limiting parasitic pin travel to fractions of a millimeter and eliminating the 'chatter' common to the OEM VANOS system.

Craftsmanship and Military-Grade Manufacturing

To ensure the utmost quality, our VANOS hubs are manufactured to military standards in an ISO-certified facility. Every hub undergoes a stringent machining process and is both heat- and cryogenically-treated, delivering superior hardness and longevity that surpass OEM standards. This is not simply an aftermarket upgrade; it is a carefully engineered product that prioritizes both fitment and function.

5150 VANOS hubs are custom manufactured to military quality specs at an ISO / QMS certified shop. Proudly made in the USA, we start with the highest quality raw materials and machine to tight tolerances to ensure proper fit and longevity.

A Unique Product Backed by a 2-Year Warranty

Our VANOS hub is not only built to the highest standards, but it also comes with a 2-year manufacturer’s guarantee. We are confident in the product's quality and durability, and we’re willing to stand behind it. This 2-year warranty covers defects in materials and craftsmanship, giving drivers peace of mind that their investment is protected.

Seamless OEM Compatibility

Our VANOS hub offers an exact fit within the OEM VANOS configuration, ensuring that customers can upgrade without the hassle of modifying other components. While we recommend a full VANOS oil pump upgrade for the best performance, this exhaust hub alone represents a significant improvement over the original component, offering improved timing accuracy and engine performance without the risk of premature wear.

Why Upgrade?

The VANOS system is critical to maximizing torque and performance in the BMW S54 engine. By replacing the OEM hub with a part crafted from aerospace-grade materials, drivers can protect against premature wear and catastrophic failures that are all too common in older hubs. This 5150 hub is designed to provide not only reliability but also better performance, making it the ideal choice for anyone serious about maintaining their engine.

With this upgrade, 5150 AutoSport has reaffirmed its commitment to delivering high-quality, precision-engineered parts for BMW performance enthusiasts. We know that customers have their choice of options on the market, and we’re confident that our VANOS hub will stand out for its unmatched durability, quality, and peace of mind.
