Performance upgrade (ECU tune up ?? )

potato · 12-03-2010, 03:04 AM

I am using e90 330i (auto transmission). Any suggestions for performance upgrade ? I'ved add sprint booster for throttle improvement already. Just think whether ECU upgrade is worth to do or not? If yes, any shop suggest ?
If no, any other suggestion on performance upgrade ? ( It seems that NA car is really hard to improve performance from my knowledge)

Hey Potato Hing,

Go for the BMS Power Box while a few users in our HK Forum comment the torque curve on low rev is having nice impressive gain which can tell the difference significantly!! Here is the link and you can check for other users comment though...

By the way, take off yr Sprint Booster while this is something harm yr engine big time...this is old school technology which merely increasing the throttle angle to gain the power which result of horrible fuel consumption, overheat coolant + engine oil + transmission oil, shorten the life cylcle of yr hardwares such as yr electric controlling throttle and related parts......it is merely manipulating the duty cycle which is something not very wise to do it!!

+1 for BMS powerbox!
I am currently using the PBX together with Spitfire Ignition Coils! The performance improve alot but supprisingly the fuel consumption improved alot!

Hi Ken,

May I ask where you install the PBX and did you just bought it online? What about the ignition coil? Cheers

Hey Ken Bro, You cannot use yours as the benchmark while yr PBX has "Special Sauce" done by Terry with Program and Fuel Map write up only able to suit yr lovely E92 323......how's that 335 project processing so far??

A few different theories according to different ppl:
Prince k: power to weight ration change - more power used to move the weight so engine has to work lesser.... This theory was backed by kc racing
My theory: Because I don't step down as much as I used to step on e pedal for power!

I believe it is the New Fuel Map which adjust the spray pattern inside the engine crack.....this result Those are theories I learnt during my engine mechanic classes in my College Days....in terms of theoertical side of yr fuel saving effect

From my experience on N52 engine, i would suggest:

1. BMS power box
2. Okada Plasma Direct
3. K&N air filter

They are prefect match

Is there recommanded mods shop in HK that can do all 3 of them at once?
mine is E90 330i (2005)

thanks for information tho!!!!

ken@exoticstuning · 01-17-2011, 06:33 AM

BMS power box should give you the most in terms of performance.

yeah right but I don't wanna do it myself after seeing the installation guide from their website.......that's why I need a mod shop to do it all, heh

335 Freak · 01-17-2011, 07:58 PM

Hey Ken,

For BMS Power-Box, the installation is kind of easy which is merely plug and play w/o nothing complicated....Were you looking at the installation guide for our N54 Engine's JB3/JB4 installation guide?? Yeah, that one will be pain of the neck for our rides but not yours though!!

Let me know if you need DP Fix coz I have one on hand which is no use for me now after I upgrade fm JB3 to JB4!!
