In this latest dyno test we had this awesome 2018 Mazda CX-5 2.2 SKYACTIV-D Sport Nav+ in for tuning and testing. After a short installation of our specialised Bluespark Pro + Boost I-ART chip tuning box, we loaded it on the rollers and got to work.
This particular engine uses the i-ART system, which makes it unique in many ways. By featuring pressure feedback from each fuel injector instead of using a traditional single pressure sensor in the common rail, i-ART makes it possible to continuously monitor and adapt fuel injection per combustion in each of the four cylinders.
Each injector has a small computer on top, which monitors injection pressure. Using this information, the self-adapting i-ART system makes sure that the ideal amount of fuel is injected during each combustion cycle.
The combination of this gives the driver an engine with improved fuel economy, considerably lower emissions and high performance output as well as a powerful sound character. Our boxes have been designed to

Some awesome gains to start the week off strong here, from this F30 BMW 340i.
The B58 engine never fails to impress, and having worked extensively with these, it’s always great to see something amazing, transform into something even better.
What can we add?
Power 326hp >>> 402hp
Torque 450Nm >>> 605NmThe 340i and the B58 in general, produce some pretty decent stock figures. However, with our Pro Petrol tuning box installed, we break that 400hp barrier and add +155Nm of torque!
Focusing where those gains are applied, we transform areas in the rev range. This reduces any turbo lag, giving a much better response, and really delivers a consistent application, holding across the entire rev range.

The Abarth 595 has long been the pulse of automotive excitement, rumbling its way through the car scene all across the globe. The unmistakable growl has become a kind of beacon, a relentless zest and precision craftsmanship in the realm of small yet mighty sports cars—a fact we at Bluespark HQ can attest to, with plenty of experience in fine-tuning a multitude of these awesome little hot-hatches.
The 595 never fails to add a dose of excitement to our days, and it’s always great watching them transform after a bit of tweaking on the dyno. In this latest tuning and dyno testing, we take this 1.4 T-Jet and custom tune it, adjusting the software with our remapping tools and fine tuning the results with the rolling road dyno testing.
Firstly, we take the 595 at a completely stock level, no level of tune applied. We get it strapped up on to the rollers, and take it for the first set of tests to establish what the factory mapping is producing. No big surprises with this one, a pretty standard

Another great rolling road dyno test here, with this BMW 118i after we installed our Bluespark 3 Channel Pro Petrol chip tuning box.
The allure of German engineering is exemplified in the BMW 118i, particularly the 2019 model with its B38 engine, something that we have worked with and tuned many times here at Bluespark HQ.
This turbocharged powertrain is not just an engineering feat; it's a statement of efficiency and power. With BMW's commitment to performance, the B38 engine is both a reliable companion for daily commutes and a powerhouse for those spirited drives. Now lets see how we can enhance that, load it on to the rollers and deliver those gains.
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque.
Peak power was increased, we were able to lift it from 136hp at stock, up to 176hp with the box. Taking a look at the dyno graph below you can see how the curve changes (dotted red and blue lines), giving much more consistency

Starting the week off the right way, getting some hybrid gains in straight away here.
It’s always great to get more from these hybrid engines, and that’s exactly what we did for this Ford Puma 1.0 EcoBoost MHEV ST-LINE.
Power 155hp >>> 179hp
Torque 240Nm >>> 273NmAfter a quick and easy install of our 3 Channel Pro Petrol box, the customer could instantly notice the difference. Bringing that power in sooner, reducing any of that turbo lag, whilst holding that extra hp and torque for as long as possible throughout the rev range.

People often ask us what kind of gains are possible of the IHI turbo vs the Garrett 1446.
We had this lovely 145PS 595 come and see us the other week. So we thought we’d show you an overlay of a stock 180 Comp vs this, just to illustrate the difference.
The tuned IHI (blue lines) makes stacks more power and torque than the 180 Comp (pink lines) right up to 4750RPM. From that point onwards it’s pretty much level. The Comp makes a couple more hp at 5500RPM but it's barely a difference.
In a rolling race or on a B road, this car could be considerably quicker than its stablemate, and for anyone wondering if it’s worth tuning an IHI equipped car, I think it's pretty clear.

Some great customer feedback here, showing what a noticeable difference we can make with our tuning services here at Bluespark.
This Ford Transit Custom 2.2 TDCI came to see us, after being plagued with a speed limiter set from stock. We connected to the ECU, made some quick adjustments, and now has full access to its capabilities.
Not only has the speed limiter been removed, but we then installed our Bluespark Pro tuning box, giving the customer a much punchier feel. We took it from 101hp at stock up to 126hp with the box, and lifted torque from 310Nm up to 350Nm, really delivering those gains across the rev range and exactly where the customer needs them.
As the customer states, we provided solutions to his specific needs. There are further enhancements we can make on these, including our more advanced boxes or remapping services, providing even more performance than this. For now, the customer is more than happy with what it’s producing.
