Car Throttle takes their trusty 130i to BDS Motorsport for a round of upgrades, including an intake kit and ECU calibration. Predictions fly as they anticipate a power bump from the tired 192,000-mile engine. The dyno run reveals a surprising 28.7 horsepower gain, exceeding initial estimates. The team dives into the nitty-gritty of airflow improvements, emphasizing the importance of consistent power delivery over peak figures.
With the new intake kit and filter in place, the car sees a notable 9 BHP increase at the wheels, showcasing the tangible benefits of the modifications. A round of ECU remapping further pushes the power figures to a respectable 280 horsepower. Despite the high mileage, the 130i shows a flatter torque curve and improved acceleration, proving that NA tuning can breathe new life into an aging engine. The team acknowledges potential areas for additional enhancements, such as coil packs and spark plugs, to optimize performance further.
In the end, Car Throttle lauds BDS Motorsport and their wizard, Bruno, for their expertise in unlocking hidden power from the 130i. The journey showcases the transformative impact of NA tuning, highlighting the blend of art and science in extracting every ounce of performance from a car. With a nod to the future, the team recommends BDS Motorsport for enthusiasts seeking to unleash the full potential of their BMWs through carefully crafted upgrades and tuning solutions.
