At this point buy a b58, I think you will end up cheaper and more reliable standing at the same power, and still room for improvement. I think it would be interesting to see this on a 330e as it would have approx. 600hp after all of this.

[@vlad330i]

Big thanks for sharing all the info about the B48 build ! Will wait for the B58 costs at the final stage of Swap :) Just to check and seewhat are the best choice for the money :D

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah depending on power goals it could be a hard decision. You can max out the stock turbo on the B58 with just a downpipe and have it be properly fast and around what this B48 build was at and you can push the B58 to well past 700 WHP but the costs go up quick on the B58 so just depends on if you just want speed for money the B48 wins and if you want down low torque nice sound more as a priority the B58 wins.

[@Icebarbed]

My current 2019 330i with down pipe BM3 already at 65k miles. Watching you done all this on the B48 is amazing. But my plan is once I hit 80k miles I think will do the same swap a B58 in. Can’t wait to see more content coming!💪🏼

I have a 330i from 2019, with 320 hp(m-sport with M setup excluding pro pack and the seats which are not fully elec). it is still a great car, but knowing this is possible, i think ill do. Can you do more retrofits? Like full electrical seats retrofit, etc ? Thanks!! Have a nice day man!

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah what surprises me the most is the transmission carried right over, that is a big part of the puzzle, this car has every feature ever offered on a G20 but maybe in the future I'll pick up a more basic 330e an see about upgrading it.

[@michaelbrooks9462]

We could easily see power go up with better exhaust systems 3.5 inch and adding methanol injection. And port fuel injection and upgrade the high pressure fuel pump and low pressure pump that b48 with that turbo could see near 600 at the wheels. A true monster when you factor the weight and torque and if it had AWD.

[@VehicularDIY]

Yes I think in theory up to 700 WHP is not out of the question with a full frame turbo given I made 582 WTQ. I would say 600 WHP could last.

[@Huseynelli]

What a great shame 4 cylinder Supra had no manual. It's lighter. It handles better. It's tunable with this same engine. Would've been perfect for weekend canyon runs.

BTW a manual swap on a 2.0L could be easily done, the DME has provisions to allow for it.

[@cryptofluent6284]

Couple questions: can you recommend a high flow catted down pipe that would be able to handle the upgraded turbo. Next is the axles, what would you recommend for a 330i g20 that has x drive no m sport, stock.

[@aaroncompton8305]

Thanks again for sharing all of your knowledge. Wonderful stuff. I'm in the finishing stages of my build, and have been in touch with IPOS and Racebox. I have a first generation B46, which you and Navardi have noted have slightly less robust internals vs the G30. I keep going back and forth on doing PI and Motiv. I don't mind the additional cost, but worry about possible headaches with settings and maintenance. Ideally, I don't want to think about it after the tune is optimized. I suppose I can gain another 30hp or so with E85 (plan will be Flex Fuel). Is PI with Motiv pretty solid after things are set up properly, or are issues needing adjustments common? Thanks!

[@VehicularDIY]

PI tends to help with cooling if you're running full E85. The pistons are not as strong on the gen 1 so anything that can be done to lower the chance of knock and help with combustion chamber temps will go a long way on it.

[@ttta6682]

In my country we have e85 in the fuel pump do i have to buy a port injection?

[@jmsterdam]

Nice that it still says 330i

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah I'm keeping it that way. With the 330i badge I found nobody really bothered me on the road, when I had my M340i people would want to play and with the G80 it got really annoying at times. Seems as though it wasn't the badge and more so the sound coming from the back as people tend to drive aggressive around this car now when they hear the engine.

[@Fat_Jag]

It is really, really important to note that EARLY 330i's (really all of F chassis and G chassis 5 series) that have the Gen 1 B46/48 will need pistons in order to reliably run this power level. Gen 1 has issues with the piston ringlands once you start pushing past 300ish horsepower.

[@VehicularDIY]

I'd say more like 400 whp if you run a good amount of ethanol.

[@Fat_Jag]

​​​@@VehicularDIY While this is true, I would hazard a guess that the majority of people aren't running ethanol. The reports about the Gen 1 B46/48 say 300-330 is where you start to push into ringland failure on 91/93. From what I've seen, the limit even with E85 is 24-25 psi of boost before they fail regardless.

[@hansmaulwurf3831]

​@@Fat_Jag isn't this the limit for the high compression 20i engines? The lower compression 30i. Of course ringland issues are linked to LSPi at lower RPM but mapping is always over the whole range.

[@Fat_Jag]

​@@hansmaulwurf3831whether the car has the 11:1 or 10.2:1 Ratio pistons makes no difference in terms of the ringland failures on the Gen 1 motors. It was just a flawed design.

[@f22jax]

@@Fat_Jag Nah. I'm on E85 pushing 32 psi and have been doing so for a few months now. I'd say the 91/93 limit is 25 psi safely.

[@jason1969]

Serious question, if im doing all this, shouldn’t I just go 340i or 540i for that b58?

If you can realistically afford a car with a b58, then yeah you might as well just do that.

[@VehicularDIY]

I'm still running my stock transmission, we know they are good for about 600 wtq so the B58 doesn't strain it, the M340i comes with the 8hp51. I kept my stock torque converter which has more torque multiplication not sure if that'll change upper limits but if I did ever upgrade the turbo on this I'd look into a trans upgrade kit. For now I just want mid 500 WHP max.

[@jojomajesty]

Yes it is definitely possible specially with the B engine. You would make more power because of the hybrid motor.

[@havoc7154]

what's your tire size?

[@TheFuelInjected]

[@VehicularDIY]

Hmm not sure about that, in theory it would bolt up but the DME wouldn't have a tune that would be applicable.

[@TheFuelInjected]

@VehicularDIY Probably a dumb question, but is it not possible to use the DME from like a 2019 X5 hybrid? Or use the tune from a 2019 X5 hybrid on a 2019 330e DME?

I saw your video a little over a year ago. I bought everything you have and recommended but have a 22 530i. I have been waiting since then to be able to have a tuning platform that will support Motiv. Still waiting. I think cloning the DME will be my only option unless I want to continue to wait.

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah hard to say if other platforms with do this but I'd say there is at least the chance with MHD+

[@SynDaKid]

No. Only BootMod and MG Flasher support the B48s. I was incredibly impressed by what you did and was too quick to try and replicate it. I didn’t think about the FEMTO lock. But maybe I can clone mine like you mentioned? I hate that these parts have been just collecting dust. I even didn’t care about my car warranty I was so excited.

[@VehicularDIY]

Yeah I mean MHD+ could easily support the platform if they wanted to and they already support partial femto unlocks and 2 way control with the port injection now. Yes you can clone your DME and then run ecutek on the clone.

[@SynDaKid]

Is it possible for you to share how I can clone my DME? Contact FEMTO? MG Flasher told me 4 months ago it would have Motiv support “soon.” ECUTek told me 3 times to get FEMTO MHD unlock which wasn’t supported. Then BM3. Then told me they don’t support BM3. LOL. So yeah it’s been a struggle.

Would doing this to a 330e 20b be a good idea?

The 20B is the 330i engine so you can push it. If I did this all over again I would have started with a 330e.

[@jojomajesty]

I have a 330e with the B engine, stock turbo pushing 414whp + 491 lb/ft torque with just an after market dp and custom tune on e30. The hybrid motor helps with achieving those numbers. I believe about 90whp comes from the hybrid motor. So if you are looking to have similar numbers as with the car in the video, you probably won't need everything listed. But if you have the same set-up, you will probably achieve higher hp/torque numbers and it will still be as safe and reliable.

First, just want to echo other comments and say thanks so much for the amazing content. I also have a 330i and have been considering the turbo upgrade for a long time. My question for you: is the tune necessary? I’d prefer not to send out my DME and instead just get the turbo, intake manifold, the downpipe, and charge pipe. Would you say this would still result in huge gains, or would it be futile and the tune is necessary for the car to take advantage of the new parts? Once again thanks so much!

@@VehicularDIY of course! And noted, my car is made after the 2020 cutoff but I’ll keep my options open.

That’s more than enough for me so if that’s a reasonable estimate I’ll definitely be going down that path in the future.

I have no clue what HP I'm looking at and frankly I don't care too much, but I do feel I shaved a second off my 0-60 and 50-100 which is amazing. You echoed my sentiments, after watching this video I was hoping I could go further without a tune.

For all this just get a 340i this build seems like you gotta have some deep pockets which in turn is all for a 330i but nonetheless still pretty cool

With upgrading the turbo, manifold high flow catted downpipe and bigger injectors with a 93 octane tune...how much more or less your looking at hp/tq wise?

[@f22jax]

you dont need bigger injectors for a 93 tune. You can expect to make somewhere around 360-400whp

[@youngbronci2604]

what does he mean with internals?

[@f22jax]

internals are pistons, connecting rods, and head studs.

I have a Dec 2020 production 330e and seems like I have the b48 but my dme is locked. do you think there any other options other than swapping the dme to get more power out of it. 450 hp on my car would be amazing especially with the hybrid assist.

$11,317 for parts, not even including labor. I think I’ll just stick with my DP and JB4, this stuff is to complicated for a simpleton like me.

[@VehicularDIY]

If your DME is locked and you wanted to keep it simple you could do just the turbo and toss in some E30 and make high 300s but beyond that yeah it gets complicated but the speed ends up being legit when all is said and done.

Labor?? What labor?? 🤣Nah but in all seriousness, I've done everything myself (turbo swap, downpipe, intake, hpfp, port injection plate, motiv reflex wiring, intake manifold). I've saved a ton on labor. But like what Musa said, a simple turbo upgrade with a little ethanol goes a long way without breaking the bank.
