In our latest dyno test we have this 2020 G20 BMW 330e in for tuning and testing. After an installation of our 3 Channel Pro Petrol chip tuning box, it was up on the rollers to see what the engine could achieve.
We have featured many of our hybrid tuning solutions on this channel and this G20 330e doesn’t stray far from what we’ve already showcased. The 111bhp electric motor is paired with very capable B48 engine, which we have already seen a lot of in previous tests, so we already know the tuning potential from this set up. However, as we find most often, the engine comes de-tuned as standard from stock, not giving you that full potential of its power. We can soon have that fixed, and show you what it’s really capable of…
Another thing to note, is that these vehicles currently have locked ECU’s with no way to read or write the ECU data. This means that while traditional remapping is impossible, our tuning box can give owners the opportunity to make fantastic gains without requiring a traditional ECU flash. This has the added benefit of being traceless once removed for warranty purposes.
Dyno testing before and after shows healthy gains across the rev range, with a significant increase in power and torque, really transforming how it feels to drive.
Peak power was significantly increased, as we were able to lift it from 287hp at stock, up to 368hp with the box. If you take a look at the dyno graph below you can see how we change that curve (dotted red and blue lines). We give real consistency here, bringing that extra power in as soon as possible, whilst holding it for as long as possible throughout the rev range. Pay attention at around the 2000rpm mark, you’ll see how that extra power is brought in right down from those lower revs, and then held across that entire mid-section, adding that +81hp at its peak, really transforming how it feels out on the road.
Torque also saw some really impressive improvements. At stock the engine produced 433Nm and now 561Nm with the box. If you take another look at the graph (solid lines), you can really see where we have applied those gains. Again at around the 2000rpm mark, you’ll see where those improvements really spike as the stock run begins to level out, we continue to apply that torque, adding the +128Nm extra at its peak, delivering that increase exactly where it’s needed.
