2 Port B58 Engine Swap Into G20 330i

In this video I do the groundwork for my B58 swap. I'm swapping a B58C or a two port B58 gen 2 motor into my G20 330i. I tackle upgrading the cooling package and what is required to make the 6 cylinder DME work with my car. We go into a software deep dive to make this work.
I want to make the ultimate daily driver that I feel BMW should have considered offering, a 340i M Sport vs a M340i. 11:1 high compression motor optimized for efficiency and quick spooling with low end torque. Yet still capable of up to 800 whp if you wanted to push boundaries.

I updated the title to make things a little more clear. I'm not putting in a M340i engine, I'm trying to build something different here. I'll include a response to a commenter for more context. "Yes the B58C was geared towards pushing heavier models like the X7, X5, 840i, 740i etc. Kind of like a entry level V8 replacement. Has higher compression and is designed for more air velocity through the intake and exhaust. 11:1 compression pistons vs 10.2:1 on the M340i. What was so strange is they put the B58C in the first model year of the Toyota Supra. Normally I would be afraid to tune a high compression engine. The Gen 1 B58 had 11:1 compression but wasn't as strong. When they brought out the Gen 2 they beefed everything up and put it in so many cars. If it wasn't for the people pushing the 2020 A90 Supra to 800 WHP I wouldn't have done this. The higher compression will give you more throttle response, the turbo will spool faster and you'll get better fuel economy and it just so happens to tolerate 800 WHP anyway. A stock turbo 2020 Supra with a tune can make a little more power than a stock turbo 2021 Supra with the 6 port engine. So I want to optimize for raw power and have it be super punchy during normal driving. A turbo upgrade that aims for maybe 600 WHP max with nearly stock like spool. The M340i engine can tolerate more boost given the lower compression pistons and the head has less back pressure so it won't be a bottle neck but this only comes into play at over 800 HP at the wheels. If the goal is around 600 to 700 HP then in my eyes the B58C is a better overall fit. Just to put things into perspective the 2025 M340i with the Gen 3 B58 now has 2 ports. The M340i with the Gen 2 B58 is legendary and can make 1300+ HP with a built bottom end given the free flowing head. I'm trying to build what BMW could have called the G20 340i, a torque monster super efficient daily driver that can be in its sweet spot at around 700 crank HP max. To me 700 HP is all the power in the world, the M340i was such a great daily but still didn't have the punch of the N54 with upgraded twins, I'm imagining this will be more like that. Another benefit will be the 2 ports sound great, will be interesting to see how it sounds paired with a downpipe and a stock M340i exhaust. "

[@AgentExhale]

2025 M340I B58 Gen 3 is now a 2 port? I thought they retained 6 ports as like in the previous gens

[@allcarthings7678]

I don’t remember where you’re located, Texas if I remember right? Anyways unpopular FACT for viewers that don’t know; you don’t need lower compression to run a ton of boost in this day and age. Yes in the old days lower compression was needed…because high octane fuel was next to impossible to obtain, efi tuning and knock sensors were light years behind current tech. Not an issue anymore. Run a stronger E-mix/colder plugs and throw some timing at it. Low compression engines generally run more boost for any given power level. Ex 10psi - 300hp High compression engines use less boost for the same power level. Ex- 6-7psi -300hp Again higher & more readily available octane fuel and advances in tuning/tech are what allow us to take advantage of “high compression” Compression is good 👍

[@NieJestemzPolskiPL]

Bro is basically building a engine that everyone dreams about. Respect!!

[@VehicularDIY]

@@AgentExhale I think everyone thought that the M performance models would get a 6 port head again but it never ended up happening. The 2025 M340i just started showing up at dealers and it has the same 2 port as the X7, X5 and 7 series. It has the B58B30M2 so it's basically similar to what I'm ending up doing here, 11:1 compression and a 2 port head. The 2025 even has less power at 375. I'm sure they made up for the difference with the hybrid system and it will probably outperform the stock Gen 2 cars. When they brought out the 6 port M340i I think it was like a last hurrah for the non M cars. A proper 2JZ replacement, I see all the signs that the M340i/2021 Supra will be a future collectable car. I traded in my 2020 years ago and got 44K for it, a good one wouldn't be that far off 40 to 45K now. Can't recall another car holding that kind of resale value. These 2 port Gen 2 B58s will be a dime a dozen soon once more SUVs get written off. If the M340i keeps holding value and the 330i keeps dropping like a rock this swap will make way more sense. To me it already makes a lot of sense but only because I am selling my entire setup for good money and I'm making content.

[@VehicularDIY]

@@allcarthings7678 Yes everything you said and another major factor that makes this viable in my opinion is the 5000 psi fuel system on the Gen 2 motors to mitigate low speed preignition which can plague direct injection cars. I think if the 2020 Supra didn't have the head restriction people wouldn't break pistons at 800 WHP, the back pressure leads to excessive heat. A head swap while retaining the 11:1 compression could be interesting...

[@TheMatixen]

@@VehicularDIY why the b46D ? the b46 is more restrained due to emission regulations than the b48. On the other hand, isnt the D the later production one (gen3)? the one with the exhaust headers integrated into two 3 to 1 ports. I saw some videos how the 3rd gen b58 has been having some reliability issues with the variable camschaft guides. Pd: i love ur vids. thanks for everything.

[@VehicularDIY]

The B46D is the exact engine in my car an is a Gen 2 engine. The Supra is running the exact same engine.

[@TheMatixen]

@@VehicularDIY so no b48 is being sold in the usa (Im from ARG) cause of emissions? I still cant understand why its the "D" version on your 330i. 2020/2021 g20 330i Should pack the O1 version of the b48 which is the high performance, therefore it cant be b46. b46 are the b48 engines mounted on the 320i, engine code ends in M1 for at least the 2020/2021 g20 models.

I came across so many S58s for under $10K and believe it not it wouldn't have been much more work than what I did here and it would have bolted to the same transmission. Overall cost would have been not too far off of a 6 port B58 swap but the 2 port worked out to be a much better deal and goes more along with what I'm trying to accomplish which is a really powerful daily driver with lots of response. The S58 in the G80 wasn't too eager at low RPMS and would constantly be dropping a gear to feel quick in comfort mode.

hello! First of all, thank you very much for your very complete videos! excellent material. I own a b48 and want to buy the IPO turbo and fuel pump. I would like to know from your experience how much your B48 was with the turbo upgrade? in whp? Greetings!

[@VehicularDIY]

Thanks for watching! On a B46D with the IM450 I was able to make around 480 WHP with full E85. It's more realistic to say 460 to 480 WHP and low 500 for WTQ. I left it on a tune that would make over 500 WTQ and beat on it like that for nearly a year. The IM450 would heat soak the stock intake manifold and stock heat exchanger after about 3 back to back pulls. That is because it was out of its efficiency range. To combat that I installed an upgraded intake manifold and heat exchanger and after doing that I could do back to back pull continuously without any fade in power. I opted to do that rather than go with the IM500 larger turbo as that would spool later. So if you don't want to upgrade the intake manifold and heat exchanger you would aim for more like 420 to 450 WHP and I could imagine that being possible on an E40 or E50 mix with could potentially negate the need for port injection.

[@michelhadid]

Dont know if anybody has commented this, but here it goes: The VIN and immo info is programmed in the eeprom, however, the iflash/irom ALSO has OTP sections (one-time-programming) with the immo info, VIN of the car, HW version, etc. This part of the flash, as the name states, CANT be reprogrammed. If you flash a different ECU with the eeprom, containing the VIN and immo info of another car's ECU(like you did), there WILL be a mismatch between the flash and eeprom immo info which will prevent the engine from starting or cause different programming/immo issues. This will very likely cause you problems unless you have immoed off the flash and eeprom (turned the immobilizer off) of the ECU so it doesnt freak out or managed to align/code/reprogram the immo of rhe new ECU to your dash/key/car. This also blocks any OBD2 flashing since one of the prerequisites of an OBD2 flash is passing the security/immo challenge.

[@VehicularDIY]

Thanks for the comment. With the pre June 2020 DMEs they do have virtual OTP memory that the bench tools get around hence I was able to fully write over the erom and irom sections of the chip on my donor DME. The post June 2020 DMEs have bench protection and what appears to be true OTP memory. Femto is the only company that sorted out the bench protection and offer partial unlocks likely due to the OTP sections of the flash being true OTP. They can however fully read off both sections of the chip and send you the bin files which you can then have cloned to a pre June 2020 DME allowing full functionality as the DMEs are identical otherwise. With the way I left things in this video I knew that the car would likely start but wasn't sure if the irom section of the DME might contain vin information from the donor car and would exhibit odd behavior like reporting the wrong vin via a generic OBD scan tool etc. If that ended up being the case I could have just flashed the DME via esys and told it the car is an M340i. All I did in this video was default encode the DME with my VIN and modified vehicle order which I just assumed only wrote to the erom section but for all I know it might have wrote to both sections, I I could verify that via pulling the bin files back off the DME and doing a difference comparison to see the irom is changed also. I think I will do that and respond to this comment. Assuming it only wrote to the erom section I and the car starts but limits access via OBD and has odd codes I could then just fully flash the DME via esys with my modified vehicle order and that would sort that part out. I would then need a modified tune catered to the 2 port engine so basically an off the shelf tune for a 2020 Supra. I could take it further by modifying my vehicle order to be a X5 as the G05 is basically electronically identical, I would verify that by calculating the FP to see if the configuration is plausible. I could then use esys to flash the DME alone which would ensure that both the erom and irom sections of the chip have all my vehicle information including the ISN but would retain the appropriate tune. But it would probably be easier to just flash as an M340i and go the custom tune route. For me my main goal was to have no EWS codes and I could communicate with the DME even before I default encoded it so that was a good sign right out the gate. Lets say we even took this further and none of this works, I was able to even force flash the irom from my 4 cylinder, I even tried it again with no checksum checks and both times it took the information. In that state the DME wouldn't communicate in ISTA. If somehow the VIN information must be on the irom section of the flash before it would carry that information over to the new flash then I could use esys to recover the DME from that state but that goes against the way I understand how it functions, if the DME has virtual OTP and it were to be corrupted that would lock you out from being able to recover it but various flashing platforms have no issue recovering a corrupted flash as long as they can get the vitals from other modules like a BDC or CAS. This was a long reply but just outlining my thought process and I can come back to it if needed for further troubleshooting.

This is just understanding at my own level and a ton of research, now days I've been bouncing ideas off of Chatgpt and then I get lightbulb moments based on the responses I get. So I guess you could say a little bit of AI as well lol.

Crazy awesome video. Modern day Macgyver!

This gonna be wild

[@Donpablo416]

How do i go about learning how to do this. Where do i get the knowledge

[@Starscream8896]

So you parting out the b48 or dropping it in a diff chassis?

[@Diaprusios]

Just like you replied to someone else, I also want to see this 500hp b48 on a 330e . Torque’s gonna be INSANE from the get go.

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah like I said in another video if I knew that the 330e also came with the exact engine that my 330i has I would have looked for one instead. Didn't know they started putting the 330i engine in at one point instead of the 320i. I'd like to revisit building one, maybe for a viewer. Might put it out there. Could have 600 crank HP and pull like a V8 down low with the electric torque fill. Could be the ultimate daily better than what I'm trying to build here.

very impressive looking forward to seeing more

When aluminium oil filter housing video?

[@rubberducky704]

Seriously well done video. Excited to follow this one too

At the end of the day B58 is always be the answer

Absolutely incredible work 👊🏽

Absolutely incredible brotha!

[@angiecardona01]

I got a 2009 e90 n54 335i , car doesn’t start all lights on , but no start even after replacing starter what may be the issue ?

[@VehicularDIY]

Depending on the mileage I'd be looking at fuel pressure to start.

[@mr.memeist2928]

this guy is a brainiac

[@jakaihaden5355]

In the first video when u installed the turbo kit does that same one fit any B48 like maybe a 530i?

[@VehicularDIY]

Yes it does, depending on what year your car is you would need Gen 1 or Gen 2.

DUDE.... rocket science there

From where did u get the inlete pipe?

Awesome video! Keep em coming

[@Supersonic107-5]

Dude is just a crazy

[@sweckz9580]

Hi Musa. Did you have a downpipe installed on your 330i when you had the b48? If not, then how much HP could I expect to hit if I copied your exact build and then added a downpipe (catted or catless) to it?

[@VehicularDIY]

Yes I have a downpipe. It would have been a big bottleneck with the upgraded turbo, I’d recommend you install it at the same time as the turbo if you’re looking to replicate my build.

[@sweckz9580]

@@VehicularDIY thank you!

[@sweckz9580]

@@VehicularDIY Hi again, would you recommend adding a stage 2 high pressure fuel pump? Or would that be too much for the car to handle?

[@joegoh1968]

you are a legend!

[@noahsussman7713]

So I have a December 2020 g20 330 very similar to yours. Are you saying I can swap the chip in the DME to a pre June 2020 chip? Is there a way to buy the new chip online or do I need to source a pre June 2020 full DME? So would the process be to swap the chip and put a new tune on the DME? Could you give more info on this process and how this would work.

[@VehicularDIY]

If you have a December 2020 330i there is still a chance that you have a pre June 2020 DME. The only way to be sure is to pull the DME and read the date code off it.

[@noahsussman7713]

@@VehicularDIY I checked my car and it is September of 2020. I am stuck?? I don't want to do a FEMTO unlock since I'm weary of sending my DME to Finland but more-so that it can be locked again with OTA updates. My car is a CPO with 20k miles and has a year and a half of warranty left. Want to do a downpipe at least but dont want a CEL and possibly stage 1 preferably flash tune and not piggy-back to wake it up a little bit . Stock torque curve is very strongly mid range and doesn't pull to red-line like a B58 does.

Hey man. I just wanted to say you’re the absolute best. I am glad I stumbled on your channel a while back I have a 318i bmw e90 that I am converting to a 335i and you have made my journey a lot easier more than you think.

Bro found the safe limit to B48/6 and is moving on to the bigger brother - the infamous B58. That’s the way to do it. 🫡
