Which is the incorrect way of doing it, as all the torque targets and DBW factory mapping is less then desirable to start with. However, it's simple and effective to your market - hence why it works.

a sprint booster and an ebay resistor .99 mod.

Thanks I appreciate it. Any suggestions on intake's?

HPFREAK · 12-04-2009, 10:01 PM

Good info I have not had anyone with a 330 contact me yet on these.

Hopefully soon as I have put about 4-5 PBX's in 330's in the last few weeks so we should be seeing someone dyno shortly.

Hello

I have Bms powerBox on my E90 330i 6 manual.
Mounting; 1h30mn.

That good

Before the Bms; the power arrived at 3000 tr/mn

After; the power come at 2000 tr/mn.

Thanks++

what are the 0-60 improvements with this? .1 sec?

lonestar22 · 12-06-2009, 07:26 PM

id like it if u could get a tune based on mods to bump the power. kinda like a giac chip would be on a n/a car, or hondata. i know these cars arent tuned to the max from the factory. 10hp is nothing

Sorry i don't understand

........."Finally you can enjoy the car how it should have come from the factory!"

Yes it's true

I won couple of low "Rpm".For 279$ it the best for me.

Thanks Burger Motorsports,thanks E90post.com.

My bad, I thought you dyno'd for some reason, lol....

Andrew@ET · 12-07-2009, 10:00 PM

0-60 in a 328 improved 0.2 sec

Lagger1 · 12-08-2009, 12:16 PM

I'd still like to see either a dyno proving power increase on a 330 or a specific 330 tune.

We all know 330 ecu's are tuned more aggresively from the factory, since no intake makes 35 more hp, therefore it's still hard for me to belive something orignally designed & tested on a 328 ecu makes the 330 ecu 'better' until I see it.

Maybe it would be in the best interest of BMS to perform indepedent dyno pulls on the 325/330 in addition to the 328 since its labeled as such?

mike-y · 12-08-2009, 01:00 PM

the 330i makes more power mostly because of the valvetronic profile programming. The overall air/fuel ratios are probably still similar to the 325/328 though, and that is what the BMS changes. But yes, you'll need someone to dyno a 330 to be absolutely sure.

Should we be worried about the fuel pump? It's usually the first mechanical part to go due to an increase in pressure... I'm very interested in this mod...any X-MAS sales? :P

myfirst · 12-17-2009, 10:35 AM

1 month update in the OP. I love this powerbox!

bioman · 12-21-2009, 01:24 AM

Just had a few questions.

Are the gains on a 325 similar to a 328?
If you have a 6MT, will the powerbox work just as well as on AT's?

Thanks.

Yes they are basically the same. The PBX works great on MT and Autos, so no worries with either

Let me know if you have any other questions!
