We miss you come back
This man helped me build my first N54 when he had less than 50k subs. BMW master Mech with zero tolerance for BS...I love you sir thank you for being alive
bro glazing
@@6mtcruiser I'm old enough that I'm hitting up urban dictionary on the regular and looked up glazing and genuinely had a lmao moment. Happened the other day in person where someone said "those are gas"
@@VehicularDIYI really want to see how long this setup lasts if it can last past 100,000 miles or if it’s a short term setup and the engine blows
@@gottgaame given he knows the correct way to setup and tune an engine, I'm gonna guess on the latter. That said, 500hp on 2.0 liters is crazy!
As long as you aren’t glazing your bore, it’s all good
no videos recently, hope everything is alright!
His car is toast! It blew up!
I'm just amazed on your depth of knowledge of this motor. Never would've thought this powerplant was viable for major high output numbers but you demonstrated it can be a B58 alternative with no downsides.
well the downside is that it’ll cost more just to make the same power as a b58. and less overall potential. doesn’t sound as good. less reliable. but at least the days of the garbage n20 motors are gone, these new b48s are pretty stout
Yeah it can be an B58 alternative depending on your power goals. If you picked up a 2019 for under 25K and put 8K into it you're at 32K and making close to 500 WHP. You could pick up a 2020 M340i for closer to 40K and put 3K into it and make similar power but you'd have your power falling off near redline. Given the 330i is lighter and will hold power to redline with the upgraded turbo I could see a situation where the M340i can't compete on a stock turbo. Main thing for me is the balance of the 330i, handles great. If you were looking to spend 10K+ and go as fast as possible for under 50K total then it wouldn't be a B58 alternative but I'd imagine that 90% of people would be happy with a car that runs low 11s and maybe even high 10s with a good tire.
@@VehicularDIY 2.0l engine? I cannt believe it can produce so much!
@@VehicularDIYhi long term subscriber here. Just curious if all 330i have the b48 or are some b46? I know all the 4cyl turbos in europe are b48s but BMW including Mini revised the b48 to the B46 to meet EPA regulations. Can you please shed some light for us here in the US?
@@tomasis7 Yeah we can thank the Supra guys for pushing the 3.0 so far and BMW for using the same rod and piston and fueling system in the 2019 B48 4 cylinders. Along with the same transmission.
This build is insane. I don’t have a 330 but it’s sick to see this platform being pushed.
I have anxiety just hearing all those clips disconnect 😂 I have snapped em just by looking at them. These videos are so legit. You sir are a master in your craft. Thank you for providing for the b46/48 community. Doesn’t make me feel as bad not getting a b58 after knowing how much potential my 4cyl has 👍
Bro I can’t stress how much the world needs you for science keep pushing it
Thank you 🙏
Wow bad ass.
Worked on BMW back in the 80’s fresh out of high school. 30 years later I finally bought one.
Congrats!
hope it’s a g80 after 30 years 😭
We need you back
This is CRAZY.
I love this series even more with each episode. This is soooo well thought, it is such a pleasure to finally watch someone who know what he's doing.
Great install can’t wait to see the results! 🙌🏻
I just bought an M140i finale edition. I absolutely love it. Just threw a downpipe in and stage 1, it was a rocket from factory and now it’s just scary. Can’t wait for an lsd and stage 2+.
Coming from a 335i it’s night and day
Thank you for the video, I have been looking forward to this one. Looks good on the car!
My favourite car content creator by far just straight to the point and very informative no mincing of words or filler that'd drive me crazy. Almost as if im watching myself in a parallel universe make a video for me. And I don't even drive a BMW. Love from Australia habibi and love your work akhi keep at it.
Excellent video! Thank you taking the time to explain this in a technical, yet very clear manner.
The manifold upgrade should definitely take priority over the turbo upgrade just because of how it not only makes the car faster but also help preserve engine longevity. The turbo upgrade alone will easily heat soak the engine and shorten the lifespan. Turbo upgrade alone is good for a daily but you can’t do any serious track work. I’m definitely going for the manifold first as soon as I’m out of warranty.
Can you expect gain more hp through changing only the intake manifold?
@@deutsch323yep, cooler intake temps = more power. And it will be a consistent boost in power. If you heat soak an engine it will pull timing and lower your power to protect the engine. This modification should definitely take priority before the turbo upgrade.
Well, bigger turbos running less boost pressure to achieve the same flow of mass of air will actually help to keep the engine run cooler too. Either way, you need to upgrade both to keep the engine as cool and the least stressed as possible.
With the stock turbo and upgraded intake+intercooler, you’ll still be running high PSI and overworking the turbo to get the maximum power, and likewise with the stock intake+intercooler (but upgraded turbo), there would still be a build of pressure and heat in the intake once you start to push it.
Personally, i think if you’re not in a rush for big power, the intake+intercooler is the best first step because it means you can happily choose a turbo later knowing that it’s not going to have any restrictions on the intake side of things.
However, if you’re just trying to get to 400whp+ as quickly as possible, a bigger turbo will be able to do the trick relatively easily without actually increasing the stress on the engine that much because it flows much easier/better and causes less back-pressure on the exhaust/hot side of things.
Wow, I had no idea the 330 had a water/air intercooler in the manifold. Your take reminds me of Gale Banks' take on charge air density. Genius.
Yeah it's really neat that they started offering it from the factory on LCI F series and G series cars.
your vids are getting better each year, looking forward to more in the new year!
Thanks!
Man your videos are just amazing! Thank you very much!
Could you creat kit lists for b48 packages so we can choose what level we can go for based on power and affordability etc?
Exactly...a tiered set up would be awesome based on budget! The intake manifold and heat exchanger would probably only help the reliability in the long run and give you a nice HP bump as well...
@@stephenarnold772well he’s left me hanging for 3 months now lol
Thanks for sharing Musa. That's a great upgrade unit! Have a successful 2024 my friend. Dutch regards Nico.
Lovely video again 👌👍🏼💪🏼
Happy new year! Congrats on 100k!
Happy New Year, Thanks!
I was waiting for this video!
Great to see development on these! I’ve got a 22 plate M135 and would love to develop it but you hear a lot of negativity with them but this is damn inspiring!
thank you for the step by step guide on how to remove/reinstall all the parts. it allows me to understand how hard/easy these modifications are.
You’re the reason why people can’t talk sh!t about newer BMW 4banger. I have so much respect for you, and gave me so much confidence on building my B46TU. What a legend 🫡
You’re a legend bro ❤
Just actually set and thought about being so confused if i got gapped by a 330 in my 340 but now you are getting into the rage of beating up on the b58 guys. Super excited for the build
I was looking for a b58 car but these have a massive premium price in my country, like $15 to $20k extra. They also made up less tha 5% sales. So theyre expensive and hard to find.
This guy helped me realise I can exceed my performance goals with a b48 and I was able to easily find a 530i in the exact spec I wanted.
Also, FYI 530i is same kerb weight as 430i.
MG Flasher is first step.
I just subscribed. Amazing videos, Mousa your are a BMW Genius. Thank you 🙏
thank you i been looking for a manifold upgrade
Excuse my ignorance but what does the manifold upgrade do?
@@rossharley9016did u find out
Next video, pleeeaaaasssee, some more driving vids and dragi times would be great
This is so cool! I did not know my little brother engine had some potential like this!
Love your content bro makes me wanna upgrade my 330i 😂
Do itttt
A true master. I’m having some difficulty keeping up with the speed of the whole installation process, to be honest 😅
This is legendary cheers
Good job bro🎉👍
This man makes you feel confident and helped me modify my n54 to 600+whp by watching his videos. I no longer have it but straight to the point very informative videos! Thank you sir
600+ whp? That’s insane is it a reliable hp? And what mods
@@fizzp1123 dynamic autowerx hybrid turbos, helix overdrive hpfp, fuel it stage 2 lpfp, ARM charge pipe with tail bov, ARM catless downpipes, VRSF exhaust, BMW fmic, HXP trans flash, and custom tuned by JSRTuning on E60
@@fizzp1123 I pushed the car hard and raced it many many times it didn’t fail until a faulty fuel filter leaned out the motor
These videos are so well done, i formative, and really exciting if you own a B58! Can we please get an update on your next video release? My son and I are chomping at the bit!! 🙂 Thanks so much for the great content!
You will be the reason I mod my bmw 430i 2019
Awesome! Would be really interesting to see how the car pulls at all speeds and all gears both before and after each upgrade if you happen to have it. 🎉
This videos are great, I really like watching how the series 3 is getting faster and reliability. Is the perfect bmw sleeper
"small displacement engine can achieve legendary status" ...hahaha definitely has to be the BMW quote of the year so far!
Interested to see the gains. Would have liked to see if you had any gains with the stock mani and aftermarket heat exchanger
We need new updates!! How is the car running?
Hey man, this is some awesome stuff. I wonder if the same setup could be added to a mini cooper S ? I mean a 400whp mini would be insane.
Bro we need more updates 🥲🥲
Shit there be times when i forget shit and i come to this channel for a quick reminder bro been putting out bangers since forever got a sub here for life
Hope everything is good, I see you havent been posting for months
Really interested to see where u go with this build
B48 Whp goal post has been moved a few more yards. New record is 650whp 525tq on a revised conservative tune on a built engine ( Trinidad and Tobago F30 330e ).I think the guys in the Middle East (white car) can make 780whp safely. They have way more mods done to their build like a totally built out B58. I believe the balance shafts may become a problem unlocking more power beyond 800whp safely. Lets say the balance shafts are a non issue, is anyone looking at the potential of reving this engine even higher to 9000rpm on a bigger turbo 68mm with a properly ported head and hardware ?
Where you been bro??? We need more vids!! How’s the 330 holding up
did the b48 come at all in the 4 series of this generation? Also curious if there’s still a gran coupe for the newer models but i believe they phased them out. Cheers, keep smashing it 🙌🏽
Any issues with the new manifold? Looking forward to another video soon hopefully!
thats insane how the bmw has it its own service procedure. my audi so lame, i ran thermostat wide open and hoped for the best
When is the next video coming out. Trying to follow along with my g20 as well
I hope all is well with you. Hope to see another video on this car soon! Any issues since the install and pushing more power on the car?
From my experience with BMW engines, they respond really well to intakes, downpipe and a tune to factor the changes. For less than $1000 you can make an easy 50+ HP from any turbo BMW engine.
So lets imagine someone does this for the 2021 Mini GP. That will be an entirely different beast
Great video. What figures can be achieved on a 330i with a hybrid turbo, downpipe and intercooler?
Can't decide if 330i or M240I would be the best, these videos really show how B48 can be a fun engine.
If you like the 2 series you could mix in the 230i and get all the same results I'm getting on my 330i with the same mods. I've had a gen 1 B58 in my 440xi, gen 2 in a M340i, N54, N55 in a X5 and a S58 in a G80 M3. Out of all them I'm finding this to be the most fun as it has a Jekyll & Hyde personality, feels so subdued and easy to drive in comfort mode and hits really hard in sport +. The N54 with upgraded twins is a close 2nd, the only reason it isn't first as it always felt like it could just barely tolerate what is being asked of it before the DME would jump in and freak out. This feels like it wants more.
@@VehicularDIYWhen referring to the 230i are you talking about the F22 or the G42? I have an interest on the F22 230i as their prices are becoming more reasonable.
So glad I came across this channel! Loving the content!
Curious from a cost perspective, how does the 330 with the mods compare to a 340?
Cheers from SA
Id love to know as well
Why dont you show us rolling 10 to 100 kph time, how the car power slides and drifts with this new BHP
I plan to make a full review video with 1/4 mile times etc.
Amazing stuff! Everything you have done to this vehicle would I be able to perform on a 2017 230i?
Where’d you go?
You make this all look so easy. Are you a bmw tech? There's no way you are a novice diy tuner
It's always been something I do on the side. When I was a teenager I worked at a shop for a couple years before starting college so that helped me get the basics down to be good at tinkering on the side.
Any updates on the reliability of the car after these upgrades ?
Really interesting in getting my first BMW just so unsure on F30 or G20🤔
when do we get the new dyno results? :)
I just subscribed to you channel because the quality of the information is on another lever. I highly appreciate your effort!
I own a 125i F21 B48 and I am very curious if IM450 would be a nice idea to push it to 400-410hp. If so, besides turbo and b58 hpfp, I would need anything else?
Also, do you feel like you need an LSD on your actual 500+ setup?
Thank you in advance.
LSD are great on even just stock powered cars.
Another banger for the b48 community, thanks man 👊💯, good to know its benifits to the stock turbo, would you say its better to have the port injection with this intake manifold? or could you just use the billet intake manifold?
You could run this without port if you wanted to keep the stock turbo but have the engine be happier with the cooler intake charge. Port comes in if you have an upgraded turbo and want to run more ethanol and then you'd want this if you're looking to make over 450 whp.
@@VehicularDIY thanks for info, i plan on going for a ipos500 or a g25-660, ill only be running 99 octane pump gas, filling up on ethanol is abit annoying in uk, we dont get e85 at the petrol station
@@Reaper_f30 Yeah would make sense to go with a bigger turbo in that situation. IPOS (turbo and intake manifold maker) has an IM500 on their 2021 Supra right now and will be publishing numbers soon to give you an idea of what to expect.
@@VehicularDIY hopefully with everyone toying with 4 cylinder supra more products become more widely available for the b48🤞
@@VehicularDIYgreat content on the B48, I'm in the UK so no e85 for us sadly, not a fan of methanol injection either, but if I wanted to use a hybrid turbo setup with the billet intake manifold you have in the video but only using pump fuel 99 octane, what types of numbers whp would you expect using only 99 octane pump fuel with fbo, billet intake manifold and hybrid turbo? TIA
It's time to get a new BMW
This is awesome, I wish I still had my mini. With it being the same rods and pistons as a B58 I guess you’re capped out to about 2/3 what a b58 can make on a stock bottom end ?
I never would of thought the stock pistons and connecting rods in the B48 would be able to sustain 400+ wheel horsepower. Granted there are practically zero videos on modding this engine asides yours, but im curious on longevity of the engine with an upgraded turbo and such.
I remember a few facebook marketplace warnings of some shop in Texas saying a few people cracked their piston heads from running JB4 map 3 on their imported 420i, but I have read the B48 in the 20i variants use weaker construction overall since that car runs 11:1 compression and is only ever intended to make 184Hp.
Yeah I went off the fact that the rod and piston in this engine is interchangeable with a 2021 3.0 Supra. Plenty of examples Supras holding up in the high 700 whp range so just did the math. The high pressure fuel system plays a big part, the older 20i B48 in the F series did face issues due to the higher comp ratio and lower fuel pressure.
@@VehicularDIYGood to know, forgot the MK5 supra uses the B48/B58.
I to have a G22 430i. Im pretty interested in getting that intake manifold you have listed, as the boost of HP is significant. My question is would I need to have my ECU unlocked by femto? Really trying hard to avoid doing that as I really don’t want to be out of a car for 2-4 months. I know for a new turbo id need the ECU unlocked but as far as the intake manifold goes id imagine you should be able to bolt it on and call it a day.
whatd you end up doing with the pipe that didnt have a hole to insert it. I think u said to contact the tuner about vent to atmosphere but i was unsure of what u mean. what should i do with that if im looking to get this upgrade
PLEASE POST MORE VIDEOSSSSSSSSSS! UPDATE ON 330I PLEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Anymore updates coming? Any tricks,tunes,hacks, etc… for us who can’t afford this huge magnificent upgrade? Besides a JB+ ? You’re the
•B48 MasterMind• I’m running a JB+ & Throttle tuner & I’ve surprised many on the highways.
This all looks so easy compared to how hard it will be to talk my wife into letting me do all this. X)
Ty for such great content.
Great explanation on this. I have a b48 and my big b58 engine. Would the same logic apply to the b58 with the intercooler? I am running a bigger turbo.
There are so many tubes and stuff in this engine compared to older models that it becoming problematic due to any of this failing is increased exponentially!!!
A lot going on for sure but most if it is just PCV related, the reliability ratings on these newer BMWs are starting to be come quite high.
Hey mate. I just got my 330i. I want my car to be an absolute savage like yours is. Im not mechanically minded but want to buy everything i need to make it a beast. Ill have my mechanic fit it for me.
What exactly would you recommend i get so i dont have to redo anything. I want it the best, first time round.
Cheers mate
Ps. Thanks for all the great content, youre a legend 👏🏽
The question is how long will it stay reliable? 🙂
It’s amazing to see the similarities between the B48 and B58. Literally the same engine with 2 fewer cylinders
most redundant analysis ever 😂
Hey bud AMAZING work. I decided to purchase my 3 year lease as I only had 16k miles on my 2021 530i. After seeing your videos im VERY interested in copying what you did. It has a b48 engine as well not sure if there are any differences from 2019 to 2021. Are they the same engines? As well do you know someone in the Los Angeles area that can help tune the car? Thank you and looking forward to more videos.
Same man just got a 330i about 4 months ago and looking for someone to tune in the Los Angeles area if you ever find anyone let me know !
I have a 2018 330ix.. believe it’s a Gen 1? I have few important questions for you is there a direct contact? I hit a wall in build and need some friendly advice
Hey buddy, what downpipe do you recommend? Thanks
I’m just leaning about the 330i/b48. Would you recommend the manifold upgrade over the front heat exchanger upgrade?
Will all of this work on a 2017 230i? What differences exist between 2017 and 2024 with the B48? This is amazing.
Wondering can you do this to a 530
Can this fit on the mini b48!
how do you feel about the two series? I've been dreaming of owning an M240i but may even consider a b48 230i just from what I've seen you do
What's the line at 12:39 that is unable to connect to the intake manifold? Why would it throw a CEL?
i have a F30 330i. B46B20 engine in it (SULEV, Canadian car) im assuming the engine code of yours is B48B20. if correct, does the B46 hold the same capability of the B48? if not, where is it different, and what needs done?
Would that manifold upgrade fit a n20 have yer to find a intake manifold for the n20
Please show us the riding on a car, I want to understand how throttle response feels on the car in it current state.
Would I be able to just get the turbo , downpipe , intake , exhaust, charge pipe and tune on 93 to get good power , I don’t need to go as far as you did , sick build though
Hi there,
I have a question for you since you are good at car electronics, I have an 2000 bmw 528i trying to scan it scanner turns on but no communication.
I’ll be appreciated if you help me up to figure it out.
can confidently say your videos are going to greatly help me push my g20 330i to its full potential, glad to be a part of the community 🦾
